10 Best Chromebooks of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Luke Larsen 2026-02-11 14:30:00

The price for Chromebooks can range wildly, from $150 up to $800, and therefore the specs can also vary. Processor: For the best experience, you should avoid older Chromebooks with Intel Celeron processors. The Chromebook Plus specifications offer a good baseline to guarantee speedy performance, and I’d recommend going with at least an Intel Core i3, Core i5, or AMD Ryzen 3 7000 processor.

Intel Nova Lake CPUs may finally bring a 3D V-Cache rival to desktop gaming

techspot.com Kishalaya Kundu 2026-02-16 05:55:00

Rumor mill: Since their launch in early 2022, AMD's X3D CPUs have become the most-sought after CPUs for PC gamers who want top performance, thanks largely to their 3D V-Cache technology, which enables higher frame rates and smoother gameplay.

AMD Ryzen CPUs continue to crush Intel processors on Amazon best-seller list

In brief: AMD dominated socketed CPU sales on Amazon's US site in March, and the picture doesn't seem to have changed a few months later. Intel's new Core Ultra 200 series chips struggled to climb the retailer's rankings back then and have since almost completely disappeared. Intel CPUs have been completely shut out of Amazon's top 10 best sellers as of late June.

New data highlights the race to build more empathetic language models

Measuring AI progress has usually meant testing scientific knowledge or logical reasoning – but while the major benchmarks still focus on left-brain logic skills, there’s been a quiet push within AI companies to make models more emotionally intelligent. As foundation models compete on soft measures like user preference and “feeling the AGI,” having a good command of human emotions may be more important than hard analytic skills.
