Republican Senator Tom Cotton has expressed security concerns regarding Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan's previous business relationships with Chinese firms. The senator sent a formal letter to Intel's board of directors requesting clarification about potential national security implications. Cotton specifically questioned whether Intel's leadership knew about subpoenas issued to Cadence during Tan's tenure as that company's CEO. The lawmaker emphasized that Intel must avoid connections with the Chinese Communist Party while receiving federal incentives. Cotton demanded information about measures taken to address these security concerns.
Tan previously maintained authority over 40 Chinese companies and held minority investments in more than 600...
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company experienced a major security breach when nine engineers illegally accessed confidential 2nm manufacturing data. The employees operated remotely using company laptops and photographed sensitive information with personal mobile devices. Authorities apprehended the suspects at a coffee shop after they had stolen more than 400 images containing advanced production details. Each breach session lasted approximately three minutes while the perpetrators accessed databases containing 2nm process technology. The stolen materials revealed trial production methods and technical specifications for the cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing process.
Investigation sources suggest the leaked information...
AMD restricts its newest professional graphics card to system builders only. XFX announced that the Radeon AI PRO R9700 will ship exclusively through pre-built computers. The company launched this RDNA 4-based card last month alongside the Threadripper 9000 processors. System integrators can purchase the card, but individual consumers cannot buy it directly. This decision blocks access to the DIY computer building market.
The R9700 features 32 gigabytes of GDDR6 memory, double the amount found in consumer RX 9070 cards. AMD built the card using second-generation AI accelerators and the NAVI 48 chip design. The graphics card competes directly with the PRO W7700 model while offering twice the memory capacity. Both cards share the same...
Senior Producer David Sirland explained that Battlefield 6 continues using the Frostbite Engine rather than switching to Unreal Engine 5. Generic engines cannot support the advanced destruction mechanics that define the franchise. The development team customized Frostbite specifically for this latest entry while simultaneously designing the game around the engine's capabilities. Producer Alexia Christofi noted that studio engineers possess extensive Frostbite knowledge that enables efficient collaboration. Transitioning to different technology would require substantial time investment.
Players can access the open beta through pre-loading before weekend testing periods on August 9 through 10 and August 14 through 17. Three battlefields...
Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter sparked debate by predicting Grand Theft Auto VI could launch at $100. The unprecedented base game price would mark a first for the video game industry. Nintendo faced criticism for pricing Mario Kart World at $80. Rockstar Games has not confirmed any pricing details for the highly anticipated title. Fans expressed concern about the potential cost increase across social media platforms.
Alinea Analytics expert Rhys Elliott disputes the $100 prediction for multiple business reasons. GTA Online generates substantial recurring revenue that requires a large player base. Higher launch prices would reduce the total addressable market during a global cost-of-living crisis. Moving players from GTA 5...

Development Director Anna Narrevik discussed Battlefield 6 features during a recent Hong Kong gaming event interview. The upcoming shooter will deploy artificial intelligence bots when multiplayer servers lack sufficient human players. These automated characters maintain full match capacity until real participants join active sessions. Players can replace bots at any point during gameplay.
Narrevik confirmed that classic battlefield maps will return through future updates. The team plans to reintroduce fan-favorite locations like Firestorm based on community feedback and requests. Regular content updates will arrive every three months after the game launches. The development team considers tactical destruction the most impressive...
Cloudflare accused artificial intelligence search company Perplexity of deliberately circumventing website access controls. The security firm discovered that Perplexity masked its web crawlers to bypass robots.txt files and other protective measures. Investigators created a hidden test page with strict access restrictions that remained unlinked and unindexed. Perplexity systems accessed this honeypot content and featured it within search results despite the barriers. This unauthorized data collection violated established web protocols and service agreements.
Cloudflare responded by removing Perplexity from its verified bot registry and implementing stricter content protection measures. The AI startup denied all accusations and claimed...
