A tech YouTuber found issues with certain computer parts working together. Bryan from Tech Yes City tested AMD Ryzen chips on different motherboards after many reports of broken processors. He noticed ASRock brand motherboards handle power differently than other brands. These boards let voltage jump around instead of staying steady. The power sometimes rises higher than what experts consider safe limits.
Other motherboard brands keep the voltage stable around 1.20 volts for these processors. However, ASRock boards often push past 1.25 volts and approach 1.27 volts during regular use, which might damage the chips over time. Almost 200 users reported dead processors when using ASRock boards. The problem seems to happen because both the...
Intel sees few outside buyers for its chip-making business. The company makes processors but also wants to build chips for other firms. Chief Financial Officer David Zinsner admitted they lack major customers for advanced manufacturing lines. Most future production will serve just Intel products instead of earning money from external companies.
Reports claimed NVIDIA might use Intel factories for future chips. These rumors appear less likely with the recent statements about limited adoption. Intel needs outside customers to make its factory division profitable. The company expects this part of its business to stop losing money around 2027. This goal depends on attracting clients who could bring billions in new cash.
Intel plans to use...

Nintendo has shown what makes its new Switch 2 run inside. The machine uses eight computer brain parts but saves two just for running background tasks. These parts can reach speeds of 1.7 GHz, but games might never push them that hard. The display chip comes from Ampere technology with 1536 small processors working together at different speeds depending on how you play.
The system holds 12GB of memory but keeps 3GB for itself, leaving 9GB for games. This memory runs at 102GB per second when the console sits in its dock and slows to 68GB when carried around. Nintendo added special parts to make games run better without draining battery life. The screen supports variable refresh rates, but TVs connected through HDMI cannot currently use...

However, Halo and Borderlands failed to impress audiences despite their popularity as games. Riders Republic lacks strong...
