MLCommons just released new MLPerf Inference v5.0 benchmark results. These tests show Intel Xeon 6 chips with Performance Cores running six important AI tests. The numbers prove that these processors work almost twice as fast as older versions. Intel Xeon 6 stands out as a top choice for companies building modern AI systems.
Karin Eibschitz Segal from Intel says Xeon 6 hits the sweet spot between fast performance and power saving. She heads the Data Center and AI team as corporate vice president. Her team keeps making each new generation of Intel chips better at AI tasks. They focus on helping businesses run AI more efficiently.
Companies need powerful CPUs as they add more AI to their products. These central processors handle many...
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has shared new details about future Apple MacBooks with M5 chips. Gurman tracks inside information at Apple and often predicts upcoming products correctly. His latest scoop suggests Apple plans to launch new super-slim MacBooks early next year. These laptops will feature the next M5 chips but might keep the same 15-inch and 13-inch designs as current models. The existing MacBook Air lineup with M4 chips came out last month, starting at $999 and introducing a new blue color option.
Apple seems focused on internal upgrades rather than changing how their laptops look. According to Gurman's March 30 newsletter, engineers have already started developing the M5-powered MacBook Air models. These computers will...
MLCommons just shared fresh results from their MLPerf Inference v5.0 benchmark tests. These tests gauge how fast different machines run AI models across many tasks. The AI world clearly focuses most of its energy on generative AI these days. Recent hardware and software improvements have created massive performance jumps compared to last year.
The benchmark tests measure both big data centers and smaller edge systems. They check how quickly each system runs various AI and machine learning models. This open-source testing system creates fair competition that pushes everyone to make better, faster, more efficient AI systems. It also helps buyers pick the right AI systems and adjust them properly. The latest round adds four new tests...
NVIDIA broke records in the recent MLPerf Inference V5.0 tests with their Blackwell platform. This marked their first entry using the GB200 NVL72 system. The rack-scale solution excels at AI reasoning tasks. Modern AI requires special computing facilities called AI factories instead of traditional data centers.
AI factories transform raw data into useful insights immediately rather than just storing information. They must deliver accurate answers quickly, cheaply, and to many users simultaneously. Making this happen becomes very complex behind the scenes. Larger AI models with billions of parameters require more computing power for each output piece.
This higher requirement reduces the total output an AI factory can generate and...
RTX features appear in more than 700 games and apps these days. Every week brings new releases or announcements that include NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex, and fancy ray-traced effects, making PC gaming better for people with GeForce RTX graphics cards.

New trailers showing off DLSS 4 have also appeared for both Cyberpunk 2077 and FragPunk.
Steel Seed launches April 22nd from Storm in a Teacup and ESDigital Games. This stealth-action adventure takes place in a dark sci-fi world where humans nearly died out. Players control a character named Zoe, who teams up with KOBY, a...
Nintendo plans to release the Switch 2 system on June 5 with a price tag of $449.99 across the United States. The new device features redesigned Joy-Con 2 controllers that work like a mouse in certain games and attach to the system with magnets. Players will notice faster processing speeds and better visuals on a larger screen with brighter colors and sharper details. You can enjoy both new Nintendo Switch 2 games and many titles from your current Nintendo Switch collection, plus connect with friends through exciting new options.
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa stated that Nintendo Switch 2 advances home gaming that travels with you, building on eight years of play experiences that started with the original Switch. He believes...
Acer showed off new Predator BiFrost and Nitro Radeon RX 9070 Series graphics cards about two weeks ago. They came late to AMD's RDNA 4 party but made waves with four high-end models. The Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 9070 OC 16 GB and Nitro Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 16 GB stand out because they reach super fast 3100 MHz boost speeds. Acer kept quiet about prices back when they first appeared.
Overclockers UK recently started taking pre-orders for all four cards. This same store made news by building a huge cube out of many Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9070 XT boxes right before launch day. They seemed ready, with plenty of different models from various companies, but customers bought them faster than expected on release day. The British store has...
StationPC has started selling PocketCloud on Kickstarter. This small device works as the first truly portable NAS storage anyone can carry around. You can back up your files anywhere without hassle. The special launch price starts at $199 instead of the regular $299 price tag.
PocketCloud makes storing data easy for everyone. It fits in your pocket yet delivers strong performance when you need to save important files. The small size beats old bulky NAS systems that stay in one place. Photographers and other creative people will love carrying their backup system wherever they go.
Setting up PocketCloud takes just one click, unlike other storage systems that need complex setup steps. It comes with a small screen and a turning knob that...
Qualcomm just bought the MovianAI Artificial Intelligence Application and Research JSC from the Vingroup family. This company used to be the generative AI part of VinAI Application and Research JSC. VinAI stands out because it knows its stuff about generative AI, machine learning, computer vision, and how computers understand language. When you mix what VinAI can do with what Qualcomm has learned over decades, you end up with some amazing new ideas.
Qualcomm has teamed up with Vietnamese tech companies for more than twenty years to create cool new products. Their work on 5G, AI, IoT, and car tech has helped Vietnamese information and communication technology grow quickly. They have also helped Vietnamese businesses sell their products...
