Montage Technology releases server processors under the C6P designation that represent rebranded Intel Granite Rapids Xeon chips. The Chinese company targets domestic server markets with these processors that feature up to 86 cores and 172 threads. This practice continues Montage Technology's established pattern of relabeling Intel server processors for local distribution. The processors carry 336 MB of L3 cache and utilize Intel's Redwood Cove P-Core architecture. Montage Technology selected the Xeon 6700P series rather than the higher-end 6900P variants for this rebadging effort.
The C6P processors support both single and dual-socket configurations with four UPI interconnects operating at 24 GT/s bandwidth. Eight-channel DDR5 memory...
MAXSUN prepares to release its Arc Pro B60 Dual 48G Turbo graphics card on August 18th, according to Reddit sources. A user reported discussions with company management regarding shipment schedules to Singapore next week. The card features two BMG-G21 GPU dies with independent 24GB memory pools totaling 48GB capacity. Professional and artificial intelligence workloads benefit from this dual-die configuration rather than gaming applications. Each processor handles separate datasets independently for enhanced parallel computing performance.
Intel faces production constraints limiting B60 availability across both standard and dual variants. The manufacturer restricts sales through system integrators rather than consumer retail channels...
Apple develops cellular connectivity features for MacBook Pro laptops through leaked development code discoveries. Macworld researchers identified the M5 Pro processor carrying codename t6050 alongside evidence of 5G modem integration. The leaked information mentions only the M5 Pro variant without referencing base M5 or M5 Max processors. This selective development approach suggests Apple may restrict cellular functionality to specific MacBook Pro models. The company appears committed to bringing wireless internet access to portable Mac computers.
The planned 5G implementation utilizes the Centuari modem system found in iPhone 16 devices. This C1 baseband chip lacks mmWave technology capabilities but provides adequate sub-6GHz network...

Mercury Research published AMD's second quarter 2025 processor market analysis, revealing substantial gains across multiple segments. Desktop processors achieved remarkable performance with unit share climbing to 32.2 percent from the previous quarter's 28 percent. Year-over-year comparisons show even stronger results, with desktop share jumping from 23 percent in the second quarter of 2024.
Server processors delivered record-breaking revenue share, reaching 41 percent, while unit share advanced to 27.3 percent. Cloud and enterprise sectors drove this unprecedented growth trajectory. Revenue share gains measured 7.2 percentage points annually and 1.5 points quarterly.
Mobile processors experienced modest declines, with unit share...
Intel demonstrated its 18A manufacturing process through a live showcase featuring a reference system-on-chip that operates outside the x86 ecosystem. The semiconductor company presented this chip running multiple applications such as three-dimensional gaming, animation rendering, and ultra-high-definition video streaming. This demonstration signals Intel's broader ambitions beyond its traditional processor architecture boundaries.
The reference design featured seven central processing units across performance, optimized, and efficiency categories while incorporating third-party PCIe and controller intellectual property. Intel optimized its development software, particularly VTune Profiler, to support these alternative architectures...
Intel faces uncertainty regarding whether to separate its foundry division into an independent company. Board members and shareholders support the spin-off proposal while CEO Lip-Bu Tan opposes the move. This internal disagreement creates significant tension within the corporation. AMD provides a relevant historical example from 2008 when economic troubles forced similar decisions. The competitor eventually sold its manufacturing operations to become a fabless company.
AMD struggled with delayed product launches and mounting operating losses during 2008. The company spun off its foundry division to Abu Dhabi's Mubadala Investment Company for $700 million cash and $1.1 billion debt relief. This transaction allowed AMD to partner with...
Bloomberg reports that the Trump administration is considering purchasing Intel shares to support the company's domestic semiconductor manufacturing expansion efforts. Early-stage discussions about this potential government investment may not result in actual funding for the chipmaker. The proposed investment would assist Intel's delayed Ohio manufacturing facility, which management expects to commence commercial operations sometime during the 2030s. President Trump met with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan this week and praised the executive's achievements after previously characterizing him as a national security threat requiring removal. Tan's corporate turnaround strategy emphasizes process technology advancement and market share recovery...
