Why you shouldn't trust early (controlled) coverage of a product
Facepalm: As Computex 2025 is set to unfold in Taipei, much of the tech world's attention will be understandably drawn to new innovations and big announcements at the show. Yet, amid the buzz, a more troubling story is playing out behind the scenes – one that raises serious concerns about transparency, media integrity, and the trustworthiness of GPU launch coverage. The issue? Nvidia's release strategy for the GeForce RTX 5060, and how the company is manipulating public perception through tightly controlled media "previews."

Fake MSRP: AMD's Radeon 9070 XT $600 Launch Price Was a Fantasy
Two months after launch, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is still nowhere near its advertised $600 price. With global supply stabilizing, it's time to examine the real cost of AMD's top GPU across key markets.
Opinion: Are we nearing the peak of custom ASIC adoption?
Have we reached the high-water mark of custom silicon? Not yet, but we can likely see it from here.
Intel doubles down on foundry ambitions, unveils 18A and 14A process enhancements
New CEO means to woo foundry clients
In context: Intel's recent challenges are undoubtedly familiar to anyone who has paid even the slightest attention to the semiconductor market. These issues were a key reason the company recently appointed semiconductor industry veteran Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO. Some even speculated that Intel might spin off its chip-making foundry business.
AI is reshaping chip design tools, and the results are impossible to ignore
Why it matters: As powerful as AI may be, many industries are still struggling to find clear-cut applications that make a measurable, demonstrable difference. Thankfully, that is not the case when it comes to chip design software. In fact, since their introduction just a few years ago, AI-powered features have become a mainstay of EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools from companies such as Cadence and Synopsys.

Sparklink may be the biggest wireless standard you have never heard about
The wireless standard quietly shipping millions
In context: We imagine most of you are familiar with all the major wireless standards – so familiar, in fact, that it's become boring. We don't write much about them anymore, beyond the usual speculation around 6G, there just not that much worth saying. But on our recent trip to Mobile World Congress, we came across something genuinely new in the space. New to the point of feeling almost magical – a new wireless standard.

AMD launches the $549 Radeon 9070 and $599 9070 XT: Another fail or great success?
Our thoughts on the latest Radeon GPUs ahead of full reviews
Highly anticipated: AMD has finally launched announced the Radeon RX 9000 series, headlined by the RX 9070 XT and its $599 MSRP. There are some interesting features and architectural details to explore, but we're a bit uncertain about the price based on what AMD has shown so far. On the surface, it looks more like a continuation of AMD's graphics card strategy rather than a significant shift toward providing better value.
Apparently AMD has blocking rights for any acquisition of Intel. If a deal were to happen, what would AMD ask for?
The x86 wish list: Complexities of an imaginary Intel takeover
Editor's take: We are frequently asked some version of the question, "Will someone acquire Intel?" At this point, we think it is highly unlikely, but these are unpredictable times. Setting aside all the principal considerations – like money, strategy, and regulatory approval – there are a few other hurdles. Chief among these is Intel's license for x86.
