Nvidia buys $5B in Intel stock in seismic deal

In a surprising announcement that finds two long-time rivals working together, Nvidia and Intel announced today that the companies would jointly develop multiple new generations of x86 products together. The products include x86 Intel CPUs tightly fused with an Nvidia RTX graphics chiplet for the consumer gaming PC market, named the ‘Intel x86 RTX SOCs.’ Nvidia will also have Intel build custom x86 data center CPUs for its AI products for hyperscale and enterprise customers. Additionally, Nvidia

AMD claims Arm ISA doesn't offer efficiency advantage over x86

SL2 I'm surprised that AMD included Intel here.. That doesn't mean that it absolutely can't be done these days. However, I highly doubt that it could be done 20 years ago. Even if it's possible today, there's really no reason to make x86 for phones because the cost for development is too high and there's stiff competition.. ARM does the job perfectly. piloponth There was an initiative from Intel - x86S - scrape all legacy from the ISA and start fresh from x86_amd64. That bavkward com

Firefox 32-bit Linux Support to End in 2026

For many years, Mozilla has continued to provide Firefox for 32-bit Linux systems long after most other browsers and operating systems ended support. We made this choice because we care deeply about keeping Firefox available to as many people as possible, helping our users extend the life of their hardware and reduce unnecessary obsolescence. Today, however, 32-bit Linux (on x86) is no longer widely supported by the vast majority of Linux distributions, and maintaining Firefox on this platform

HomeKit Weekly: Is the Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni the best robot vacuum for HomeKit?

iOS 18.4 finally brought robot vacuum support to HomeKit, opening the door for a new wave of Matter-enabled vacuums that work with your existing smart home environment. I’ve been testing the Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni for the past few months (even before iOS 18.4) to see how well it fits into a smart home, but more importantly, whether it’s worth the money as a way to keep your floors cleaned. Some of my favorite gear Abode Home Security System Abode is the best home security system and include

Arm desktop: emulation

This post is part 5 of the "Let me try to use an AArch64 system as a desktop" series: Whenever people use a non-x86 system, sooner or later someone asks: “But can it run [name of x86-64 only binary]?”. So, let’s check how to make it possible. Software stack When you look for ‘how to run x86-64 apps on Fedora/Arm’, you usually end up with Asahi’s documentation about it. It is a good thing to read to understand the stack. But if your Arm system runs a 4K page size kernel, then most of that doc

“Surface Laptop 5G” for businesses shows Microsoft isn’t done with Intel yet

Microsoft has gone all-in on Arm-based Qualcomm Snapdragon X-series chips for its Surface PCs, including the less-expensive-but-more-compromised 13-inch Surface Laptop and 12-inch Surface Pro from this spring. But the company still hasn't quite given up on businesses and individuals who still want or require a traditional Intel or AMD-based x86 PC. The latest addition to the lineup is the "Surface Laptop 5G," an updated version of the Intel-based 13.8-inch Surface Laptop with built-in 5G cellul

Mandelbrot in x86 Assembly by Claude

Mandelbrot in x86 assembly by Claude. Inspired by a tweet asking if Claude knew x86 assembly, I decided to run a bit of an experiment. I prompted Claude Sonnet 4: Write me an ascii art mandelbrot fractal generator in x86 assembly And got back code that looked... like assembly code I guess? So I copied some jargon out of that response and asked: I have some code written for x86-64 assembly using NASM syntax, targeting Linux (using system calls for output). How can I run that on my Mac? That

If only this Android camera powerhouse was easy to buy, I’d recommend it in a heartbeat

OPPO Find X8 Ultra The OPPO Find X8 Ultra is one of the best Android phones for photography and videography, but it's ultra difficult for most of us to find and purchase due to its regional exclusivity. I’ve been waiting a long time for this, but finally, I spent some time with the OPPO Find X8 Ultra. I was a big fan of the Find X8 Pro that preceded it, especially its camera capabilities, and the Ultra builds on that, so I was eager to give it a spin. Unfortunately, this is the Chinese model s

Just_Super/Getty Images Who says the contact center space is moving slowly?
