In 2023, Intel’s operations in Russia were drastically pared back, leaving just one employee as the director of both Intel AO and Intel Technologies. Alina Klushina is listed as the director of both Intel’s Russian entities, reportsAbachy. The mothballed businesses incurred losses of $2.31 million over the last year. This rapid transformation of Intel’s Russia business began shortly after the invasion of Ukraine. In April 2022, Intel said itsuspended all operations in Russia, following up an earlier decision to suspend tech shipments into the country (the Ukraine War began in Feb 2022)....

Images of Intel’s upcoming Core i9-14900KS have leaked, including photos of the CPU’s retail packaging, and the technical specs revealed in a motherboard BIOS (via@I_Leak_VN on X). The new flagship CPU will seemingly have the same box Intel used for theCore i9-13900KandCore i9-14900K, which features a wafer-shaped plastic case. Additionally, BIOS screenshots indicate that the 14900KS can hit 6.2 GHz on three of its P-cores out-of-the-box, though this will take a shocking 1....

Forget Lunar Lake; If there’s one chip family that serves as the lynchpin for Intel’s entire turnaround plan, it’s this – the company’s comingClearwater ForestXeon that it revealed for the first time at a recent event. The chip family is exceedingly important because this is the first high-volume chip to be fabbed on the Intel 18A process node, a node so critical that Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has said he has bet the entire company on it....

Intel announceda few days ago that elevated voltage levels are the root cause of Raptor Lake’s instability issues. The company will address this problem with a microcode update in mid-August. However, German publicationIgor’s Labclaims that Intel didn’t share the whole story and is still investigating other root causes of Raptor Lake instability. According to the publication’s sources, elevated voltages aren’t the true root cause—or perhaps the only root cause. The claims only somewhat contradict Intel’s official statement, which mentions elevated operating voltage as the root cause of the issues but does say that validation work is ongoing to ensure the microcode patch addresses the entirety of the issue....

Renowned PC case manufacturer Lian Li announced viaTwitterthis morning that it will expand its Lancool series. The new Lian Li Lancool 207 will be released tomorrow. The Lian Li Lancool 207 ATX case is the direct successor to the MicroCenter-exclusive Lian Li Lancool 206 and theLian Li Lancool 216, one of thebest PC cases. The Lancool 216 was a great budget ATX case option; therefore, the Lancool 207 has big shoes to fill....

Newbenchmarksof Intel’s Lunar Lake CPUs reveal that the efficiency-optimized architecture has some serious chops when it comes to gaming. YouTuber极客湾Geekerwandiscovered that the Core Ultra 7 258V with its Xe2 integrated graphics surpasses the performance of AMD’s Ryzen Ai 9 HX, and Z1 Extreme handheld gaming champ in several gaming benchmarks. In Black Myth: Wukong at 30W at 1080P, the Ultra 7 258V was 10% faster than the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and 20% faster than the Core Ultra 9 185H....

There’s seemingly no limit to what makers can create with theRaspberry Pi. The flexibility provided by the GPIO adds a world of options when it comes to accessories and add on modules. Today we’ve got a wonderful example to share that explores the depth of that compatibility in the form of aSensorpackput together by maker and developer Philip Gutjahr. According to Gutjahr, this device is essentially a sensor array that can be used to gather a wide variety of information including depth measurements, thermal and even RGB data....

Reutersreports that Meta plans to invest between $60 billion and $65 billion in 2025 to enhance its artificial intelligence (AI) and other infrastructure. This marks a significant leap from its estimated $38 billion—$40 billion spending in 2024, citing Mark Zuckerberg’s post on Facebook. The company aims to solidify its competitive position in the AI industry against rivals likeGoogle,Microsoft, and Open AI. However, $65 billion is slightly smaller thanMicrosoft’s $80 billion....

Micron has expanded the brand’s extensive memory portfolio with Crucial DDR5-6400 Clocked Unbuffered DIMM (CUDIMM) and Clocked SODIMM (CSODIMM) memory kits to rival thebest RAM. Although the memory kits target Intel’s latestCore Ultra 200S(codenamed Arrow Lake) processors, they are compatible with any existing platform that leveragesDDR5memory. CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs incorporate an onboard clock driver (CKD). Without diving too much into the technical aspect, the clock driver has an important role: It buffers the base clock signal between the memory controller and the memory chips....

Micron hasannounceda lineup of the industry’s first standard low-power compression attached memory modules (LPCAMM2), combining high performance, low power consumption, and relatively high capacity. The new memory sticks based on LPDDR5X memory are designed both for laptops and desktops and are set to co-exist with traditional SODIMMs for at least several years. Micron’s LPCAMM2 modules — which are set to be available in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities — are based on LPDDR5X memory and therefore support data transfer speeds up to 9,600 MT/s, which is considerably higher than 6,400 MT/s supported by DDR5 SODIMMs, according to Micron....

MSI today announced the MSI Spatium M580 Frozr an NVMe drive with a bulky attached air cooler rated to achieve speeds as high as 14.6 GB/s. The tall heatsink includes three heatpipes, but no fans, making this by far the largest passive SSD cooler we’ve ever seen. According to anMSI blog poste that massive air cooler reduces operating temperatures by up to 20 degrees Celsius by leveraging its heatpipes and aluminum fins....

Intel’s 500-series motherboards may be well behind us, having supported the 10th and 11th Gen Intel CPUs, but this rare hardware find is still interesting. Hardware enthusiastwxnodmanaged to get his hands on what appears to be aMaximus XIII Heromotherboard, adapted to use SO-DIMM memory modules instead of standard DIMMs.The modified Maximus XIII Hero looks almost the same as the retail product. It’s a motherboard from Asus' ROG lineup, but it humorously features a TUF Gaming cover for the LGA1200 socket....

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory at NASA has achieved network speeds of 267 Mbps past the distance between Earth and the sun with its new Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) system, which was launched on Jul 24, 2025. This DSOC testing was done with NASA’s Psyche spacecraft on July 15, 2025, while on its way to the asteroid of the same name to mine it for metal. Currently, the craft is “healthy and stable” on its way to an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter,NASA says....
