NVIDIA throws Intel a $5 billion lifeline to build PC and data center CPUs

NVIDIA has today announced it will invest $5 billion in Intel as part of a new collaboration between the two companies. In a statement, NVIDIA said it would work with its ailing rival to “jointly develop multiple generations of custom data center and PC products.” The partnership will focus on "seamlessly integrating" NVIDIA's class-leading GPUs and AI chips with Intel's ailing x86 CPUs. Some of that work will be based on harnessing NVLink, NVIDIA's existing system to marry-up x86 CPUs with its

I am giving up on Intel and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D

The Intel 285K CPU in my high-end 2025 Linux PC died again! 😡 Notably, this was the replacement CPU for the original 285K that died in March, and after reading through the reviews of Intel CPUs on my electronics store of choice, many of which (!) mention CPU replacements, I am getting the impression that Intel’s current CPUs just are not stable 😞. Therefore, I am giving up on Intel for the coming years and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D CPU instead. What happened? Or: the batch job of death

GMP damaging Zen 5 CPUs?

GMP damaging Zen 5 CPUs? Background We have fried two Ryzen 9950X CPUs in a few months by running GMP tests. This is not expected, of course. In this page, we provide as much information as possible to help analysing the problem. What causes these CPUs to die while running GMP is unknown to us. While similar, it is not the widely reported Asrock motherboard problem, as the motherboards we use are of a different make (see below). It might be that the Zen 5 CPUs pull more power than specified w

It is worth it to buy the fast CPU

In the past few years, CPUs have gotten really fast. Shockingly fast! Yet most people are stuck on previous generation mobile chips (whether by choice, or by their companies choice), at a huge detriment to their productivity. Meanwhile, AI coding subscriptions like Cursor are all the rage these days. I'll skip the debate on exactly how useful these tools are, and focus on the pricing. Cursor is $480/year for the team plan (the cheapest corporate plan), and other providers are around the same, s

NeoLogic wants to build more energy-efficient CPUs for AI data centers

When NeoLogic started building its more energy-efficient CPUs for AI servers, folks in the industry told its founders Avi Messica and Ziv Leshem that their idea wasn’t viable. “Most of the people that we have met say it’s impossible,” Messica told TechCrunch. “Some of them told us, at the time, that the innovation is impossible because you cannot innovate in logic synthesis. You can’t innovate in circuit design. It’s too mature.” Israel-based NeoLogic nevertheless set out to prove them wrong,

Intel May Be Prepping a Massive Apology to Gamers

If the rumors are to be believed, Intel may be gearing up for a major apology to gamers in the form of a suite of gaming-specific CPUs. Intel has suffered through multiple crises, a CEO ouster, sweeping layoffs, and a dour outlook on the future of the once-massive chipmaker. To make its case to consumers, Intel needs goodwill, and who better to get it from than the outspoken gamer crowd? Multiple semi-reliable leakers have come out of the woodwork to talk about Intel’s plans to copy what makes

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. While AMD's Zen 3, 4, and 5 chips occupy most of the top 50 spots, Team Blue's latest lineup remains under the shadow of its predece
