Xiaomi plans to release its XRING 01 computer chip on May 22. The company recently shared posters that reveal key details about this new technology. This chip uses advanced 3nm manufacturing methods, similar to chips from Apple and Qualcomm. Xiaomi competes directly with major chip makers through this release. The posters hint at multiple products that might use this new chip.
Earlier tests show the XRING 01 has ten processing cores based on ARM designs. These chips help Xiaomi make phones without relying on other companies like Qualcomm. Making their chips saves money as manufacturing costs rise for premium smartphones. The Chinese firm moves forward despite possible concerns from American officials. This development marks an...
The EU might make Apple let iPhone users pick different voice assistants instead of Siri. Bloomberg writers report that this change could happen on phones, tablets, computers, or future Apple products. Users might choose Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant as their main voice helper when they press buttons. If these rules take effect, OpenAI might create a ChatGPT voice helper for Apple devices.
Apple is facing several EU rules that are changing how its products work. The company already allows Europeans to download apps outside the App Store. Apple also lets EU users select different message apps, web browsers, and map programs as standard choices. The USB-C charging port on newer iPhones came from EU demands rather than Apple's wishes...
According to id Software staff, ray tracing technology made the new DOOM game possible. The Dark Ages features maps much larger than earlier DOOM titles. Developers needed quick ways to create content for these massive areas. The ray tracing system lets artists see lighting effects immediately rather than waiting hours.
Billy Khan from id Software called this instant feedback a wizzywig because creators view exactly what players will experience. Previous games required developers to wait as computers processed lighting effects. The team added real-time destruction effects because ray tracing handles changing environments naturally. These features show how powerful the main character becomes throughout the story.

Intel showed 11 different styles of Arc Pro cards at Computex. Seven companies made these new computer parts with unique cooling systems. Most cards use blower fans to stay cool during work. Senao created a version with three fans for extra cooling. ASRock built a completely silent version without any fans at all.
The basic B50 card fits in small spaces with its compact shape. It needs no extra power cables because it uses just 70 watts of electricity. Most B60 cards need one or two power plugs to work properly. The special Maxsun card has two chips inside that double its power for heavy computer tasks.
Intel displayed several complete computers with these new cards inside. One ASRock system contained four fanless B60 cards with a...
Intel created new computer parts called Arc Pro B60 and B50 cards. These cards help run AI programs better than older models. The B60 comes with 24 GB of memory space and uses less power than gaming cards. The B50 offers 16 GB of memory and sells for $299 through computer makers.
Intel also made something called Project Battlematrix for people who need even more power. This system connects eight graphics cards to run very large AI models. Each card pair holds 48 GB of memory for a total of 192 GB when fully loaded. The B50 card beats its competition at its price point according to Intel tests.
Both new cards will arrive in stores between July and September this year. They work with both Windows and Linux computer systems. Intel plans...
ASUS showed off two new RTX 50 graphics cards at recent tech events. The company made a special RTX 5080 with brown Noctua fans for better cooling. This card uses three 120mm fans instead of two, like older models. It comes with a metal support bracket because it takes up four slots of space. The card has a gray and brown color scheme to match other Noctua products.
ASUS also created a DOOM-themed graphics card based on the new game Dark Ages. This version has copper parts that look like weapons from the game. ASUS will make only 666 of these special DOOM cards for collectors. The card runs at 2790 MHz, just like regular RTX 5080 models. Buyers can order it right away, but cards ship in July. The company will add game extras with each...
ASUS added more BTF computer parts at Computex. The company made new motherboards and graphics cards that plug in from the back. ASUS built a better power plug called BTF 2.5 that handles 1000W of power. This gives 400W more than older BTF plugs did. The new plug works with both BTF parts and normal computer boards.
The latest BTF graphics cards have both the new plug and standard power ports. Computer fans might someday use both plugs at once for faster speeds. ASUS has not said when this feature might come out. The company keeps making more BTF parts each year. These new items help gaming computers look cleaner and run better.
ASUS broke records with its new gaming screens at Computex. The company created the first monitor that runs at 610 Hz, the ROG STRIX ACE. This screen measures 24.1 inches and has full HD display quality. It responds in just 0.1 milliseconds and shows 90 percent of colors accurately. The base takes up less space on desks compared to earlier models.
ASUS also showed off a second screen called the ROG STRIX OLED. This larger 32-inch screen has a special glossy coating for deeper blacks. Depending on their needs, users can switch between 4K resolution at 165 Hz or HD resolution at 330 Hz. The screen changes images in only 0.03 milliseconds for clear motion. It has built-in protection against image burn problems that affect OLED displays...
