The balance of power in high-performance computing is tilting toward tightly fused CPU-GPU designs, and two old rivals are suddenly aligned around that future. Intel and Nvidia are now chasing a mega chip that marries general-purpose compute with accelerated AI,

The GPU made its debut at CES alongside five other data center chips. Customers can deploy them together in a rack called the Vera Rubin NVL72 that Nvidia says ships with 220 trillion transistors, more bandwidth than the entire internet and real-time component health checks.

It’s hard to believe, but Intel’s just-launched Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) laptop graphics may, in fact, be as good as a laptop from as little as two years ago running a discrete RTX 4000-series discrete GPU.

With incredibly powerful integrated graphics but a low CPU core count, the new Ryzen AI Max+ 388 could transform the gaming laptop space.

Intel's new Core Ultra Series 3 'Panther Lake' CPUs feature an upgraded Arc B390 GPU: RTX 4050 perf, 82% faster than the AMD Radeon 890M.

Announcements included the MI440X GPU for on-prem enterprise deployments and a longer-term roadmap that includes rack-scale AI systems and next-generation accelerators.

A recent Trump decision could lead to NVIDIA generating billions in new chip sales to China. Chip manufacturer TSMC could come away as a clear victor.

AMD shows off its world-first 2nm EPYC 'Venice' CPU with Zen 6 cores, and the Instinct MI455X AI accelerator for its Helios AI racks.

The upcoming Dimensity chipset could be paired with the Mali-G720 MC8 GPU. Leaks suggest that the chipset has scored over 2.2 million points on the AnTuTu benchmark. It is reported to outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processors in terms of GPU performance.

Nvidia has been working on self-driving cars for several years, but things seem to have escalated quickly. On Monday, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the tech platform Alpamayo, designed to "help self-driving cars think like humans" to navigate tricky situations on the road,
