AMD's x86 client CPU shipment share rose to 30.3%. Cross-checking both companies' 10-Q filings shows AMD gained on unit volume while Intel gained on average selling price, meaning share alone doesn't capture the full competitive picture.
An examination of Commercial Times' report on Razor Lake's possible adoption of TSMC's N2X, checked against official Intel 18A-P and TSMC materials plus a separate correction record, explains why the manufacturing split can't yet be confirmed.
Information has surfaced suggesting Intel's Nova Lake mobile may skip large-capacity bLLC. While AMD's large-cache products have taken the lead, a correction has also been made to manufacturing process information.
Linux 7.2 introduces cache-aware scheduling, MGLRU, and USB4STREAM. Meanwhile, the plan to make GPU fairness the default was reverted at the last minute due to regressions.
In Linux 7.1, the TSC has become a mandatory boot requirement for x86 CPUs. The assumption that "the TSC might not exist," which had persisted in compatibility code since the 1993 Pentium, is now gone—putting Linux on the same footing Windows reached back in 2012.
Intel has explicitly stated that it will bring its new core, Coyote Cove, to Nova Lake desktop first. Coming right after AMD pivoted Zen 6 toward servers first, this decision represents Intel's declared priorities amid a data center market swelling with agentic AI demand and desktop enthusiasts seeking to regain trust.
Market chatter has emerged suggesting Google is collaborating with AMD on a next-generation TPU project. We examine what this means in light of increasing CPU workloads from reinforcement learning, AMD's heterogeneous integration expertise, and Google's existing contract with Broadcom.
Citing DDR4 demand, Intel has signaled plans to keep supplying Raptor Lake for the next several years. We examine the unconfirmed Raptor Lake Next reports alongside the supply constraints that still linger on the legacy standard's side.
NVIDIA has signed memoranda of understanding with six financial firms, outlining a plan to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital for AI compute infrastructure. While GPUs are treated as financial assets, the definitive agreements and loss-sharing arrangements remain undetermined.
Information has surfaced about a special SKU of Intel's Nova Lake-S featuring 12 Xe3P cores and a 40W PL2 for the iGPU. If this makes it to production, the GPU power delivery circuit and shared memory will determine both performance and motherboard compatibility.
