What just happened? Asrock has gone on record to confirm that it is solely responsible for the more than 108 Ryzen 9000 chips that have failed in the company's motherboards. An executive confirmed that the problem relates to Asrock's BIOS settings, and that it isn't an AMD issue. Earlier this week, YouTube channel Tech Yes City visited the Asrock booth at Computex to ask about the Ryzen 9000 failure problem on its boards.

Nintendo TL;DR New details have emerged about the Nintendo Switch 2’s technical specifications. These details answer lingering questions about the console’s processor. The system also uses a file decompression engine to make loading games faster and more power-efficient. The arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 is almost upon us, with only a few more weeks left to wait. The console maker has already shared a spec sheet, detailing the hardware packed inside. However, Nintendo has been vague about

While Nintendo offered an official spec sheet for the Switch 2 last month, neither it nor an accompanying blog post from chip-making partner Nvidia provided many specific numbers for the upcoming console's raw CPU and GPU horsepower. Today, though, Digital Foundry is offering what it calls "rock-solid confirmation" of the system's final tech specs, adding detail and clarity to years-old leaks and educated speculation on the system's internals (which turned out to be largely reliable in the end).

Bottom line: Chipmakers typically use microcode updates to fix bugs and improve CPU reliability. However, this low-level layer between hardware and machine code can also serve as a stealthy attack vector – capable of hiding malicious payloads from all software-based defenses. As threats evolve, even the deepest layers of a system can no longer be assumed safe. A security researcher designed a way to "weaponize" microcode updates to install ransomware directly onto the CPU. Rapid7 analyst Christ

Editor's take: It's no secret that Intel is in a very tight spot right now. The company that invented the microprocessor doesn't seem to understand how to make great products anymore, and users are suffering significant performance issues as a consequence. Intel changed its approach to silicon manufacturing with Meteor Lake CPUs, moving from a monolithic approach to a disaggregated, tile-based design. However, the significant technology switch is clearly providing a headache or two; reviewers a

The GPU in your computer is about 10 to 100 times more powerful than the CPU, depending on workload. For real-time graphics rendering and machine learning, you are enjoying that power, and doing those workloads on a CPU is not viable. Why aren’t we exploiting that power for other workloads?
