Microsoft Photos AI hijacks Copilot PCs
Microsoft released a Photos app update through its digital store. The application works with Copilot+ computers that have neural processors from Intel, AMD or Qualcomm. Artificial intelligence sorts pictures into categories like screenshots, receipts, documents, and handwritten notes. The system recognizes foreign languages, and users can search with keywords. A super-resolution feature upscales low-quality images by restoring lost detail. The tool helps with older photos, compressed files, or pictures from basic cameras. Processing happens on the device instead of through cloud servers. These capabilities require Copilot+ hardware with neural processing units.

AMD sea-of-wires hacks Zen 6 at TSMC
AMD plans to replace SERDES interconnects with parallel wiring for future Zen 6 processors, and evidence appears in recent Strix Halo APU designs. The company will route data through multiple parallel traces rather than serialize information across chiplet boundaries. Photographs reveal rectangular pad arrays where SERDES blocks previously occupied die edges, and the packaging matches TSMC's InFO-oS specifications for dense inter-die connections. The parallel approach eliminates serialization steps that add latency, and the design reduces power consumption while freeing silicon area. Engineers can position compute dies closer to memory controllers without large interface blocks between components. The method faces obstacles with signal...
