Intel has released the company's Core Ultra 200S (codenamed Arrow Lake) in the shape of the K-series chips, such as the Core Ultra 9 285K, which competes against the best CPUs. The non-K SKUs will arrive later; Benchleaks has uncovered an unannounced Core Ultra 7 265 in a Geekbench 6 GPU result.

Asus's new short NitroPath RAM slot design, arriving on select Asus X870E and Z890 motherboards, boosts RAM speeds by up to 400 MT/s by cutting down on harmful electrical interference from empty RAM slots.

Ryzen 9000 launched with unexpectedly high cross-CCD latency on the dual-CCD models — Ryzen 9 9900X and Ryzen 9 9950X. However, AMD has now rectified the issue with a new AGESA microcode update that cuts the Ryzen 9 9900X and Ryzen 9 9950X's cross-CCD latency in half.

In a surprise move, Intel announced today that it no longer plans to use its own 'Intel 20A' process node with its upcoming Arrow Lake processors for the consumer market. Instead, it will use external nodes, likely from partner TSMC, for all of Arrow Lake's chip components.

Samsung is set to tape out its first HBM4 memory devices later this year with sampling set to begin in early 2025, reports nN Elec citing industry sources. The company is projected to use its latest-generation 10nm-class DRAM fabrication process to make HBM4 DRAM devices as well as its 4nm-class logic technology to produce HBM4 base dies, the report says.

AMD still has to introduce its codenamed Strix Halo processor for ultra-high-performance laptops, but we occasionally get confirmations about this APU's monstrous specifications. This week, an unknown blogger posted excerpts allegedly from AMD documents revealing some extra details about AMD's upcoming processor.

It's already known that Intel's 13th and 14th Generation processors based around its Raptor Lake CPU architecture are experiencing serious stability issues, particularly in games. However, YouTuber Level1Techs has discovered that this problem has also been prevalent in the data center—not just gaming PCs.

According to a report from Phoronix, version 6.11 of the mainline Linux kernel, which seems set to launch soon, will add support for RISC-V memory hot plugging. The Linux kernel already offered this feature for other CPU architectures, but it's a very important addition for the long-term health of the open-architecture RISC-V CPUs

An engineering sample of the upcoming 16-core Zen 5 AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 'Granite Ridge' processor appears to have been benchmarked in AIDA64. The results were shared by Anandtech Forum user igor_kavinsky, who cites another user as the owner of the CPU, and credited himself as simply sharing the info in his original Zen 5 speculation thread.

Intel CEO Pat Geisinger announced the launch of the company's Xeon 6 'Sierra Forest' processors during his Computex 2024 keynote here in Taipei, Taiwan. The Xeon 6 lineup is comprised of two families. The E-core-powered Sierra Forest models with up to 144 cores are launching today, but 288-core models will follow next year.

The transition to DDR5 started back in 2021 but this move from DDR4 to DDR5 is still in progress, and there are many new DDR4-based systems being shipped every day. But according to a slide published by @DarkMontTech, the industry has already began to develop DDR6, the next generation of the mainstream DRAM standard and it may arrive a bit earlier than we expect.

Chinese news outlet Benchlife claims to have insider information on Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake processors, which will battle it out with the best CPUs on the market. Intel will purportedly market the next-generation chips under the Core Ultra 200 series branding, with 13 alleged SKUs in the works.
