AMD next-gen APUs reportedly sacrifice a larger cache for AI chips
Will NPUs be a waste of die space?
Why it matters: As chipmakers embark on a widespread transition to locally processed generative AI, certain users are still questioning the need of this technology. NPUs have emerged as a new buzzword as hardware vendors aim to introduce the concept of the "AI PC," yet their arrival prompts speculation about whether the valuable die space they occupy could have been allocated to more beneficial purposes.

GPU Shootouts of This Generation and Pricing Update: Nvidia RTX 4000, AMD Radeon 7000 & Intel Arc
Not much has changed in the gaming GPU market as of late, so this month we're looking at current prices and discussing the best graphics cards you can buy.
Not just the hardware: How deep is Nvidia's software moat?
The inherent inertia of software ecosystems
The big picture: Starting tomorrow, Nvidia is hosting its GTC developer conference. Once a sideshow for semis, the event has transformed into the center of attention for much of the industry. With Nvidia's rise, many have been asking the extent to which Nvidia's software provides a durable competitive moat for its hardware. As we have been getting a lot of questions about that, we want to lay out our thoughts here.
Crypto miners are buying up all the AMD Ryzen CPUs
The Ryzen 9 7950X is particularly sought after because of its support for AVX512 instruction sets
