In an interview with the BBC, TSMC's CFO explained that price hikes for its foundry services seem almost inevitable due to inflation. Add that to shareholder pressure as the company maxes out production, and you have a recipe for almost all tech going up further in price.

Intel is expanding its performance-boosting iBOT feature with seven new games.

The massive AI gold rush has a new bottleneck set in its sights, CPUs. But what's driving the demand? We interview industry experts to find out.

June 8, 1978, marked the birth of the x86 architecture with the arrival of the 16-bit Intel 8086 CPU.

The latest Steam Hardware Survey is out and it's showing positive signs of growth for AMD, while Intel is unfortunately on a decline. The Red Team posted its best-ever CPU market share numbers in May 2026 with 45% of all CPUs on Windows being from AMD, while Intel is down to 55%, which is still more for now.

YouTuber challenges himself to alleviate a CPU bottleneck with a Core i7-6700K paired with an RTX 3080 through overclocking.

Intel introduces two new Raptor Lake CPUs in its Core 200H series lineup featuring disabled integrated graphics chips. The new CPUs are likely geared towards SFF desktops rather than laptops and 2-in-1 devices.

Intel's Wildcat Lake refresh that's supposedly debuting next year will shift focus to a more upmarket audience, only refreshing its Core 5 and Core 7 tiers. The new silicon at the top-end would feature 8 cores, up from 6 cores on Wildcat Lake right now, with the 4 P-cores and 4 LP-E cores. The Core 3 parts are claimed to remain unchanged.

Qualcomm has Snapdragon C to compete in the exciting low-cost laptop market, but it's also looking to build an entire agentic AI ecosystem on Qualcomm silicon.

Computex 2026 is in full swing in Taipei

AMD welcomes Nvidia into the market with RTX Spark, saying that its Strix Halo and upcoming Gorgon Halo products will be superior.

Intel has unveiled the Xeon 6377P, a 12-core Bartlett Lake server processor featuring a 5.7 GHz boost clock, ECC support, and a 95W TDP. The unusual Xeon targets entry-level enterprise workloads where single-threaded performance matters more than massive core counts.

Intel knows that Arrow Lake dealt a blow to its reputation among enthusiasts. Arrow Lake Refresh was an effort to correct that issue, laying the groundwork for Nova Lake later this year.

Reputable Intel hardware leaker Jaykihn reveals new information about Intel's next-generation LGA1954 socket.

Intel is still on schedule to at least announce Nova Lake at the end of the year, even if all rumors say the timelines have moved to next year. Apparently, the lowest-end 6-core Nova Lake mobile part targeted at budget markets won't be a part of that launch as the company is prioritizing Wildcat Lake for this segment.

AMD says that six-core X3D chips don't make sense for a broad market for a number of reasons, but a six-core X3D chip with the Zen 5 architecture is something the company is considering.

Intel have had a bit of a wild ride as of late. In many ways, the past two years have been some of the roughest in the company's history: a massive, multi-billion dollar quarterly loss back in 2024 was enough to cost then-Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger his job, and their flagship Core Ultra 200S desktop chips have fallen flat in games, ceding even more ground to archrival AMD.

There are still some…

AMD just reintroduced the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, but it wasn't as simple as spinning up the old manufacturing process, as the original bonding method TSMC used was no longer available.

Intel's Nish Neelalojanan spoke to us at Computex 2026 about Intel's new G3 chip line, how it impacts the burgeoning handheld gaming market, and how Intel is responding to rising chip and memory prices the world over.

Intel sat down with Tom's Hardware at Computex 2026, and the company says it recognizes the importance of Raptor Lake and DDR4 platforms as the memory crunch continues.

Microsoft and Nvidia are working together to bring popular anti-cheat software to the new RTX Spark chip, allowing support for all major multiplayer games. So far, Fortnite is the only game that runs on Windows-on-Arm devices with a native ARM64 port for Easy Anti-Cheat, but the precedent is about to change.

Intel reacts to Nvidia’s RTX Spark announcement, and says that it’s treating the green giant’s entrance into consumer SoCs with “a healthy dose of skepticism."

Along with its first-generation RTX Spark platform for desktop and laptop PCs, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed the company's commitment to future generations of those platforms on its future roadmaps.

Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang just announced RTX Spark Super Chip family — Team Green’s first-ever all-in-one laptop silicon that takes on Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm in a big way with a GPU equivalent to an RTX 5070.

Intel has officially confirmed its next-gen Xeon 7 Diamond Rapids CPUs are coming in 2027, featuring 50% higher core counts and twice the memory bandwidth of Xeon 6 in a bid to compete against AMD’s upcoming EPYC Venice CPUs.

Intel is putting its 18A node into the data center with new Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest CPUs, which pack up to 288 E-cores for dense compute.

AMD is rereleasing the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and introducing the Ryzen 7 7700X3D, both eight-core chips with 3DV-Cache targeting midrange gamers who’ve been under the thumb of rising component prices.

AMD confirmed it will support its current AM5 socket through 2029, extending the timeline by two years and likely lining up at least two more generations on the socket.
