Apple has seeded the first developer betas for its next round of point updates. The watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS 26.3 builds are now available for testing, with a likely public release by the end of January.
An early engineering sample of Intel’s upcoming Panther Lake Core Ultra 7 365 chip has been spotted on Geekbench. The results show it performing worse than the current-gen Core Ultra 7 268V. This could change before launch, but it’s a surprising first look.
iRobot, the company behind the Roomba, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The move comes months after Amazon abandoned its planned $1.7 billion acquisition of the company, a deal former CEO Colin Angle called its “most viable path” to compete.
Intel’s latest Cache Aware Scheduling patches for Linux show measurable performance gains on the new Xeon 6 Granite Rapids processors. The technique groups tasks to minimize cache misses. It’s a win for multi-socket servers.
Framework has officially increased the price of DDR5 memory for its Laptop DIY Edition by 50%. The company blames a severe supply crunch and warns further hikes on other products are “highly likely.”
Physicists have shattered a long-standing quantum limit, the temporal Tsirelson’s bound, using a three-qubit system. The trick? Controlling one qubit with a quantum superposition state, which made the target qubit robust against decoherence for five times longer.
AI’s massive power appetite is a growing crisis. Startup PowerLattice says it has an answer: tiny power delivery chiplets placed millimeters from the processor. But is a 50% reduction in power too good to be true?
SemiQ has expanded its third-generation silicon carbide MOSFET lineup with seven new high-power modules. The parts are engineered for currents up to 608A and feature dramatically lower thermal resistance. They’re aimed at the next wave of EV chargers, energy storage, and industrial motor drives.
In a surprising pivot, Boom Supersonic is adapting the core of its Symphony supersonic jet engine to generate power for AI data centers. The new “Superpower” turbogenerator can produce 42 MW from a shipping-container-sized unit and already has an order for 29 units. This move aims to fund the compan
Microsoft has joined the laptop clearance rush, offering its flagship Surface Pro 2-in-1 at a steep $500 discount. The model features the new Snapdragon X Elite chip and a premium OLED display. But such a dramatic price cut so soon after launch raises serious questions.
