A Korean leaker claims Samsung built several Galaxy S27 Ultra prototypes, including one with a 7,000mAh battery and versions that dropped the S Pen to fit it. Samsung is said to have abandoned that extreme option, instead settling on a 5,700mAh to 6,000mAh target, possibly using silicon-carbon battery technology.
Julia Collins, who became the first Black woman to co-found a unicorn company after Zume Pizza hit a $1 billion valuation in 2018, later left to launch Planet FWD, a platform helping brands track and cut their carbon footprint. In an interview, she reflected on her entrepreneurial upbringing, her early career as the first hire at food chain Mexicue, and her approach to leadership across the more than $500 million she has raised in venture capital.
A commentator argues that Apple should introduce a new budget desktop, dubbed the Mac Neo, to replace the entry-level role the Mac mini once played. The suggestion comes as the M6 Mac mini's starting price has risen to $899, well above the sub-$1,000, guilt-free price point the mini has occupied since its 2005 debut at $499. The piece notes that rising memory costs and AI demand have pushed Apple Silicon machines toward power users, leaving casual buyers, students, and hobbyists without an affordable Mac option.
A once-celebrated AI startup founder who drew massive investor enthusiasm and sky-high valuations has seen the company's worth collapse by billions, according to new reporting. The report traces how early hype around the founder's technology claims outpaced scrutiny of the underlying business, culminating in a dramatic financial unraveling.
Researchers led by Luo and colleagues, writing in Nature, developed a technique that prevents degradation of a key compound during thermal evaporation of perovskite thin films. This breakthrough allows high-performance perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells to be fabricated at significantly lower temperatures and at commercial-scale sizes than previous methods permitted.
Apple has released the M5 Ultra chip for the new Mac Studio, built by fusing two dual-die M5 Max chips into a quad-die design, a first for the company's silicon lineup. The chip offers up to 36 CPU cores, a jump in inter-die connection speed to 4.4TB/s, and unified memory bandwidth of 1.2TB/s, both notable increases over the M3 Ultra.
Apple has released a new Mac mini lineup powered by its M6 chip and M5 Pro chip, replacing the previous M4 and M4 Pro models. The M6, built on a 2nm process, brings a 12-core CPU, 12-core GPU, and dual 16-core Neural Engine, while the M5 Pro offers up to an 18-core CPU and 20-core GPU. Both versions also gain higher memory bandwidth and increased maximum RAM configurations.
Apple unveiled two new processors, the M5 Ultra and M6, to power refreshed Mac Studio and Mac Mini lines. The M5 Ultra fuses two M5 Max dies into Apple's first quad-die chip with up to 36 CPU cores, 80 GPU cores, and 1.2 TB/s memory bandwidth, while the 2nm M6 targets everyday users with a 12-core CPU and nearly 30% more peak GPU compute for AI tasks than the M5.
JOCO, a New York-based mobility company backed by roughly $7.5 million in venture funding, has built one of the largest urban e-bike infrastructure networks in the country, serving enterprise clients like Amazon, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Instacart and Gopuff. Its rise reflects a broader shift among startups away from pure software scaling toward capital-efficient, infrastructure-heavy business models as investor scrutiny tightens.
Apple unveiled its M6 processor, first appearing in the Mac Mini, built on a 2nm manufacturing process with 12 CPU cores, a 12-core GPU, and a dual 16-core neural engine. Apple claims roughly 20% faster multithreaded performance and larger GPU gains over the M5, along with memory bandwidth up to 170GB/s, though independent testing hasn't yet confirmed these figures.
Apple introduced two new Apple Silicon chips: the M6, its first processor built on a 2-nanometer process, arrives in a redesigned Mac mini, while the M5 Ultra, described as Apple's most powerful chip yet, powers an updated Mac Studio. The M6 combines three CPU core types—super, performance and efficiency cores—for the first time, alongside a 12-core GPU with per-core Neural Accelerators and native FP8 support for faster AI processing.
Apple has introduced the M5 Ultra, its most powerful chip yet, by fusing two M5 Max dies into a single quad-die processor connected at 4.4TB/s. It offers up to 36 CPU cores, an 80-core GPU option, and support for up to 512GB of unified memory with 1.2TB/s bandwidth, arriving in new Mac Studio models starting at $5,499.
