Huawei developed special computer tools after America blocked chip design software sales. The Chinese company works with local partners to create alternatives for making processors. These tools help design and test chips before factories build them. Companies need advanced software to make chips smaller than 7 nanometers. Chinese firms want independence from foreign technology suppliers.
Huawei controls the 14-nanometer design tools and uses them for Kirin 9020 processors. The chip powers Mate 70 phones and will likely appear inside Pura 80 devices. Trump administration trade rules forced Huawei to build these solutions internally. March 2023 marked when Huawei finished developing the software completely. The company partnered with...
Rumors suggest every iPhone 17 model receives high refresh rate OLED screens. Digital Chat Station estimates the A19 Pro processor scores 4000 points on single tasks and 10000 points on multiple tasks. Apple targets better battery life over raw speed with the new chip. The processor matches M4 performance during single-threaded work.
Competition heats up as Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 and Dimensity 9500 chase similar scores. These rival chips support ARM instruction sets that handle complex tasks better. Xiaomi's XRING 01 already approaches the 10000 multi-core mark. Apple focuses on practical performance rather than benchmark records.
Both iPhone 17 Pro models might feature vapor chamber cooling systems. These coolers help processors...
Elon Musk revealed Tesla robotaxi rides start June 22. The company might change the date before the launch happens. Tesla cars will drive themselves from factories to customer homes on June 28. The CEO picked the date exactly 69 days after marijuana day as a joke. Tesla uses new cameras that can count individual light particles.
Company officials worry about safety during early testing. Tesla follows each robotaxi with another car carrying human drivers. Remote operators watch every ride and can take control fast. The service only works inside small areas of Austin Texas at first. These rules make rides safer but hurt competition against other companies.
Waymo operates about 1500 self-driving vehicles across America. The rival company...
Apple ends Intel Mac support when next year arrives. The California company shifts focus from older processors to custom silicon chips. MacOS Tahoe 26 marks the last major software release for Intel computers. Rosetta 2 translation technology vanishes from macOS 28 versions. Security updates extend three more years after main features stop.
Rosetta 2 allows Apple Silicon machines to operate Intel Mac applications. The bridge software connects different chip types during equipment changes. Apple maintains small Rosetta parts for old games that require Intel systems. Software makers must complete their migration to Apple Silicon before help ends. The company created Rosetta to smooth transitions between processor families.
Intel Mac...
T-Mobile encourages customers to use its T-Mobile app instead of visiting physical stores. The company wants people to handle phone tasks through the app rather than visiting locations. Customers dislike the difficult app, and many consider switching carriers due to it. The phone company is aware of the issues and is working to resolve them with new features.
T-Mobile has brought back SIM card swapping through the app after previously removing it. The feature enables customers to change phone chips without needing to call support teams. Some users are still unable to access this tool and encounter significant issues. One customer accidentally deleted their phone service and was unable to restore it through the app. Support agents asked...
Code leaks reveal Apple makes third-generation AirPods Pro earbuds. Steve Moser discovered software clues inside iOS 26 beta files. The findings suggest Apple plans to launch new earbuds during late 2025. Moser found headphone framework code but could not locate specific features. The evidence confirms Apple develops advanced wireless audio products.
Early reports describe visual changes for the upcoming AirPods Pro 3. Apple builds stronger noise blocking technology into the fresh earbuds. Engineers may install H3 processors to power better sound features. The design updates could make wearing them more comfortable for hours. Battery improvements might extend listening time beyond current models.
Apple might release the AirPods Pro 3...
Ubisoft launched Rainbow Six Siege X across all gaming platforms for free. New players can join matches without paying money first. The company offers basic access to operators and three game modes at no cost. Players must buy upgrades to unlock ranked matches and extra characters.

Mafia: The Old Country arrives August 8 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Hangar 13 developers want to show how much better their new prequel looks compared to previous Mafia games. The studio released a developer diary video called Art Meets Technology to highlight visual improvements. Unreal Engine 5 powers the enhanced graphics and character animations.
Art director Steve Noake says new technologies help tell stories better than older game engines. The team uses Metahuman, Nanite and Lumen features to create realistic characters and environments. These tools automate parts of game development and allow artists to add personal touches to digital assets. Lead character artist Ivan Rylka believes Unreal Engine 5 offers...
AMD launches its Instinct MI350 series to compete against NVIDIA Blackwell chips. The company focuses on building software that rivals CUDA technology. AMD releases new AI hardware once each year compared to NVIDIA's faster schedule. CTO Mark Papermaster announced the MI350 lineup at ISC25 conference. The new accelerators offer 35 times better performance for AI tasks.
The MI350 uses advanced 3nm manufacturing and carries 288 GB of HBM3E memory. AMD built the chip with CDNA 4 architecture for better speed. The accelerator sits between NVIDIA Blackwell and Blackwell Ultra products. ROCm software improvements help partners adopt AMD technology. The MI355X model delivers 30 times higher efficiency than previous versions.
