Qualcomm plans to reveal its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor on September 23. The company tests early versions of the chip at speeds above 5.00GHz. These faster speeds could help the processor break new performance records. Qualcomm uses TSMC's advanced N3P manufacturing process for the new chip. The current Snapdragon 8 Elite runs at 4.32GHz for regular versions.
A tipster named Digital Chat Station reports seeing test samples running at the higher speeds. Qualcomm mentioned similar 5.00GHz targets for this processor last year. The company called it Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 during earlier development stages. Engineers continue testing different speed settings before final release. The actual speeds may change based on further testing...
NVIDIA changes its DLSS technology from CNN models to transformer systems. The company promises four times better computing power for image quality improvements. Graphics card makers have worked six months to move the technology out of testing phase. The new system will reach video games and software applications soon. Developers and gamers should see major visual upgrades across gaming titles.
The transformer model uses vision technology to examine every pixel on screen. It studies how important each pixel appears within individual frames. The system repeats this process across multiple frames to create sharper images. This approach generates detailed pixels that enhance visual quality during gameplay. Players will notice smoother...
Samsung plans to hire sales workers in California with salaries reaching $300,000. The Korean company wants to build its customer base at a new chip factory in Taylor, Texas. Samsung hired a former TSMC sales executive earlier this year to help with expansion efforts. The company aims to compete with Taiwan's TSMC for American business. Samsung needs strong sales to recover costs from its massive factory investment.
The Texas plant will make advanced 2-nanometer computer chips starting in 2026. TSMC already produces chips at its Arizona factory for Apple and other major customers. Samsung offers foundry sales directors between $200,000 and $319,800 per year. Senior managers earn from $180,950 to $289,050 at the company. These wages...
Monitor Unboxed released test results for the Nintendo Switch 2 display that show poor performance. The tech review channel measured the screen response time at 33 milliseconds. This measurement makes the new console much slower than typical computer monitors. Most PC displays perform between 6 and 20 milliseconds for similar tests. The new Switch actually performs 50 percent worse than the original model.
The testing team believes Nintendo skipped Overdrive technology to preserve battery life. This feature requires more power but helps screens change images faster. The Switch 2 already drains more battery because of its larger 7.9-inch screen and sharper 1080p resolution. The display also shines brighter at 430 nits compared to the...
A federal judge delivered a major victory for Anthropic in a copyright lawsuit about artificial intelligence training methods. Judge William Alsup ruled that companies can legally use purchased books to teach AI systems without violating copyright laws. The decision came on June 24, 2025, from the Northern District of California court. Alsup said converting text into AI knowledge differs from copying or sharing copyrighted material. The ruling establishes that learning from legally obtained content falls under fair use protections.
The judge drew a sharp line between legal and illegal data collection practices. Anthropic faces continued legal trouble for using stolen books from piracy websites Book3 and LibGen. Alsup rejected arguments...
Apple may change its iPad Pro design using new screen technology from LG Innotek. The company launched its M4 iPad Pro more than a year ago without any updates since. Apple develops its next M5 chip for release later this year with new MacBook Pro models. The tech giant considers adding the same chip to iPad Pro tablets. Engineers explore chip-on-film technology to create devices with thinner borders around screens.
LG's display technology could make future iPad Pro models look sleeker and more appealing. Current iPad models share similar designs that make the Pro version less special. The M4 iPad Pro measures thinner than other tablets but looks the same from the front. Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra features much smaller borders than...
Hypixel Studios shut down development of Hytale after years of work on the sandbox video game. Director Aaron Donaghey made the announcement on the company website. The team faced growing technical challenges that made the project impossible to finish. Game developers had rebooted the entire engine but still could not reach their goals. Studio leaders decided the game would need far more time than they could provide.
Hytale was designed as a fantasy world that creates itself through computer algorithms. Players would fight monsters and explore dungeons like role-playing games. The game also featured block building and modifications similar to Minecraft. Riot Games planned to publish the title after buying Hypixel Studios in April 2020...
AT&T plans to let customers send pictures and videos when they call 911 for help. Emergency workers will see these images before they arrive at the scene. The new service helps first responders prepare better for what they might find. People often struggle to describe emergencies during stressful moments. Photos and videos can show the situation more clearly than words alone.
The company uses a system called ESInet to make this work. This technology replaces old phone lines with fast internet connections made from fiber cables. Emergency call centers can receive calls faster and send help more quickly. AT&T started this system in 2018 and has upgraded about 1,700 emergency centers across America. The company continues to expand this...
JIUSHARK introduced the JF15K Diamond CPU cooler as its newest cooling solution. The company builds on its successful JF13K series that offered strong performance at budget prices. The previous JF13K Diamond provided 265 watts of cooling power for $40. JIUSHARK also made a smaller JF13K Mini version that delivered 260 watts for $30. Both models used a top-down cooling approach.
The new JF15K Diamond switches to a tower design instead. The cooler combines elements from multiple high-end heatsinks into one large unit. JIUSHARK measures the device at 203 by 115 by 153 millimeters. The company offers three versions of the cooler. Buyers can choose black or white models with ARGB lighting or a plain black version.
The cooler features two...
