Intel’s lack of a proper answer to AMD’s Strix Halo—and by extension, Apple’s M-series—has left a clear gap in the high-end APU space. The Blue Team hasn’t seriously competed in the graphics-focused mobile market for a while, but that might be about to change.

DRAM prices are expected to climb sharply in the third quarter of 2025, with increases of up to 45% depending on the product, according to TrendForce. This price surge will reportedly be driven by capacity reallocations, product phase-outs, and demand from both AI servers and seasonal consumer trends.

Intel's upcoming Nova Lake chips are expected to advance their modular design philosophy by bringing together future Xe3 and Xe4 IPs to handle different engines on the chip. Jaykihn, an avid Intel leaker, asserts that Nova Lake-S will allegedly use Celestial for its graphics engine.

Patriot has brought a plethora of new products to Computex 2025, including high-performance DDR5 memory, bleeding-edge SSDs, and hubs. The Viper Xtreme 5 CKD is a new DDR5 CUDIMM memory module featuring data speeds of up to a whopping 9600MT/s.

AMD on Tuesday introduced its Zen 5-based EPYC 4005-series processors aimed at entry-level uniprocessor servers for small businesses, edge deployments, and hosting providers.

Qualcomm's team seems to be in the final development stages of its second-generation Snapdragon X processors for client PCs, and it looks like it is about time for the first leaks about the CPU performance to emerge.

Intel has made significant strides in implementing High-NA EUV lithography by installing two High-NA litho machines, developing custom reticles as well as all-new optical proximity correction, and processing 30,000 wafers.

Last CES saw AMD unveil its Ryzen 8000G lineup of APUs for AM5, bringing together speedy Zen 4 cores alongside the first RDNA-based graphics engine to desktops, succeeding their Vega-powered predecessors.

Microsoft updated its support document in mid-February 2025 to list Intel processors compatible with Windows 11 24H2, including several 8th, 9th, and 10th-generation Intel processors excluded.

G.Skill introduced two new high-performance DDR5 memory kits aimed at Intel platforms, one focusing on high-performance paired with high-capacity and the other centered around low-latency performance.

Shipping records indicate that Intel's Nova Lake chips are currently undergoing validation (via x86deadandback at NBD). Nova Lake is the successor to Intel's Arrow Lake series of processors and is expected to debut in 2026-27.
