We wade into the endless debate: Who makes the best CPU, AMD or Intel? Here's the blow-by-blow in ten categories.

New details allege AMD's next-generation Zen 6 dense CCDs will carry up to 32 cores and 128MB of L3 cache, with 12 cores and 48MB for the standard CCDs.

Apple is reportedly developing its data center-grade processor, Baltra, for its AI infrastructure as part of its broader effort to strengthen its Apple Silicon portfolio.

Arrow Lake allegedly has a hotspot location north-east of the package, which Noctua's new mounting bars compensate for.

Lenovo is reportedly working on a custom in-house SoC for its Yoga Pad Pro family, rumored to be built on TSMC's 5nm process.

Huawei's upcoming Matebook Pro not only uses the homegrown HarmonyOS operating system, but rumors say it might also include its in-house Kirin X90 SoC.

Hygon shares processor roadmap, detailing the Chinese chipmaker's plans to launch the Hygon C86-5G, a 128-core, 512-thread processor soon.

Arrow Lake CPUs are allegedly bottlenecking PCIe 5.0 SSDs in Z890 motherboards, causing 5.0-capable drives to peak at 12GB/s rather than 14GB/s.

Geekerwan managed to procure a non-functional Nintendo Switch 2 board, and utilized a FIB-SEM to dissect and analyze its internal details.
