Set to launch in the Australian spring, Google's Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will feature a chip custom-designed by Google with AI and ML smarts called "Tensor", but whether it will make Apple, Qualcomm, Intel or anyone else tense is yet to be seen.

Despite getting its butt seriously kicked by AMD, Apple, TSMC and others, Intel is still the world's biggest maker of CPUs for traditional computers, and it has announced its first new transistor architecture is more than a decade, along with an "industry-first" for backside power delivery and "continued leadership in advanced 3D packaging innovations," along with its first customer announcements for its Intel Foundry Services (IFS).

OPINION: Microsoft has now BLOCKED ALL PCs without right CPU from even joining the Windows 11 Insider - here'a petition you can sign to ask Microsoft to reconsider

A Change.org petition has been set up asking Microsoft to allow more CPUs to run Windows 11, seeing as the 8th-generation Core i-Series processors and up are compatible, even though woefully underpowered select Atom, Celeron and Intel Pentium Gold and Silver processors are also on the list!

Promising the "world's best processor for thin-and-light Windows laptops just got better", Intel's two new 11th-gen Core processors feature Intel Iris Xe graphics, Intel Wi-Fi 6/6E (Gig+) and Intel 5G Solution 5000.

Intel says its new processor is faster than AMD’s top Ryzen processor, but both companies series of processors, from the low-end to the high-end, are still challenged by Apple’s M-series processors, with the M1 soon to be augmented by an even more powerful M2.

Global revenue from the sales of semiconductors in 2020 reached US$466.2 billion, an increase of 10.4% year-on-year, the technology analyst firm Gartner says.

As usual, Nvidia had a raft of product announcements ready for its annual GTC conference which started today. Among the standouts were the Grace data centre CPU, a next-generation BlueField DPU, Omniverse Enterprise for 3D collaboration, and updates to the company's Drive platform.

After the last decade of mostly incremental changes and 7nm missteps, along with getting its butt seriously kicked by AMD, Intel's CEO Pat Gelsinger has announced an ‘IDM 2.0’ strategy for manufacturing, innovation and product leadership. Is Intel back?

Intel's 14nm Rocket Lake-S processors, in an era where AMD is at 7nm and smartphone processors are at 5nm, are Intel's newest 11th-gen processors, led by its flagship Intel Core i9-11900K, with Intel not having released an i9 range until AMD's challenge a few years ago.

The newest range of AMD's epic EPYC server processors, known for kicking Intel's butt, is launching in the US on March 15, which is a very early 2am start for Australians on March 16.

Qualcomm's 888 SoC is its flagship processor for flagship smartphones, with the 7-series for high-end models ,the 6-series for mid-range devices, the 4-series for low-end smartphones and the 2-series for the entry-level, so with 5G now on the new 480, 5G is sure to spread far and wide in 2021.

Qualcomm’s answer to Apple’s A14 processor, and those of Huawei, Samsung and others has arrived, with the lucky-numbered 888 5G Mobile Platform delivering what Qualcomm claims are giant leaps in AI, the most advanced 5G platform, a tripling down on computation photography, unrivalled gaming speed, the fastest Wi-Fi and more!

Microsoft has announced a new chip designed in collaboration with Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm that it says will add security to future Windows PCs.

While Macs aren't yet equipped with touchscreens or Pencil compatibility, the new M1 processor blows away Intel processors in a new Mac mini, MacBook Pro 13-inch and a brand new and completely fanless MacBook Air, while macOS 11 Big Sur arrives this week, too!

AMD specialises in delighting customers with cutting edge technology that pushes the boundaries, delivering what its competitors wouldn't in a timely manner, reigniting competition in the PC space, making PCs great again and giving ever more power back into the hands of the PC loving people.

EPYC's epicness is easy to depict, for its superlative speeds and superb security, coupled with a qualitative quantity of cores bound by impressive Infinity Fabric has delivered astonishing performance to utterly crush the competition at powerfully proactive pricing and terrifically thrifty TCO.

Intel has revealed four more vulnerabilities in all its modern processors, all of which could lead to side channel attacks that use speculative execution to leak data.

Ok, so we're not talking about the mercury in the thermometer, but Mercury Research's latest market share estimates for Q4 2018, but either way, AMD's YoY growth is WoW.

AMD's new Athlon processors, Athlon PRO processors, and 2nd Gen Ryzen PRO desktop processors "provide generational leap in performance, every day to enterprise-focused workloads, and unified Socket AM4 infrastructure", the company claims.
