An enthusiast pushed an Intel 6700K to 5.2 GHz with 1.7V to reduce RTX 3080 bottlenecks, raising GPU utilization from 60% to 74%. Meanwhile, AMD reached 45% CPU share on Steam's Windows hardware survey. Intel responded by adding iGPU-less mobile chips to its Core 200H lineup for small form factor desktop boards.
Washington issued new AI chip guidance affecting Chinese tech firms, intensifying the US-China technology decoupling. Jeff Bezos is funding research to find the brain's 'core algorithm.' China has approved the world's first invasive brain-computer chip, signaling a major milestone in neural interface development.
A new institute marks an escalation in the US-China AI rivalry, now extending beyond Earth into space. A consultancy firm published a list of China's AI leaders, while China Daily highlighted partnership demonstrating the nation's growing AI strength. An Italian professor also praised China's progress in AI and robotics.
TechRadar reports that 2026 will see wireless Dolby Atmos home theater speakers replace traditional soundbars. Summer Game Fest 2026 is underway in Los Angeles, featuring live coverage and new game reveals. The Future Game Show Summer Showcase is set to stream with new trailers and a closer look at 'Exodus.'
Astronomers measured the mass of a dormant black hole and continue studying our solar system's lost protoplanet. Scientific American explores whether giant black holes are the universe's best planet factories. Researchers are also investigating whether a moon-sized primordial black hole is adrift in the Milky Way.
