[ad_1] Last year Microsoft added a Spotify integration to its Xbox Game Bar on the PC, and now it will be able to offer far more third-party support. That’s because it has introduced a new Game Bar Widget Store, as well as an SDK for outside developers to plug their apps into the gaming experience […]

Intel’s neuromorphic chip learns to ‘smell’ 10 hazardous chemicals
[ad_1] Using Intel’s Loihi, a neuromorphic chip, the team designed an algorithm based on the brain’s olfactory circuit. When you take a whiff of something, molecules stimulate olfactory cells in your nose. Those cells send signals to the brain’s olfactory system, which then fires off electrical pulses. The researchers were able to mimic that circuitry […]
Researchers discover that Intel chips have an unfixable security flaw
[ad_1] The vulnerability is another in a string of Intel chip flaws that have damaged the chipmaker’s reputation of late. In 2018, Intel faced heavy criticism over the Meltdown and Spectre flaws in Intel chips that could have allowed attackers to steal data. CSME, which has its own 486-based CPU, RAM and boot ROM, is […]
Intel’s 10th-gen desktop CPUs are coming soon, according to a Dell ad
[ad_1] Intel has already released X-series chips including the flagship i9-10980XE with 18 cores. However, as the company specifically told Engadget, those are 9th-, not 10th-generation CPUs. So, we’re still waiting for Intel’s 10th-gen desktop lineup to replace its current i9-9900k (and below) performance chips. These chips are pretty crucial for Intel in its fight […]
Intel outlines chip that will make quantum computers smaller and faster
[ad_1] The system-on-chip is based on Intel’s 22-nanometer FinFET Low Power process and includes four radio frequency channels that can control a total of 128 qubits. That may not sound like a lot, but it’s more than double the 49 qubits Intel was boasting for its Tangle Lake test chip back in early 2018. It […]
Intel is patching its Zombieload CPU security flaw for the third time
[ad_1] Compared to the MDS flaws Intel addressed in those two previous patches, these latest ones have a couple of limitations. To start, one of the vulnerabilities, L1DES, doesn’t work on Intel’s more recent chips. Moreover, a hacker can’t execute the attack using a web browser. Intel also says it’s “not aware” of anyone taking […]
Avast packaged detailed user data to be sold for millions of dollars
[ad_1] The investigation incriminates a lot of big name companies. We don’t know for certain which are past, present or potential clients, but the list includes Expedia, Intuit, Keurig, Condé Nast, Sephora, Loreal and more. Microsoft said it doesn’t have a current relationship with the company. Yelp said Jumpshot was “engaged on a one-time basis,” […]
The future of foldable tablets got clearer at CES 2020
[ad_1] The benefits of folding screen technology are obvious by now. You can make a device half its size (or even smaller) if its components can bend without breaking. We first saw a real folding phone at CES 2019 from the relatively unknown Royole, and through the rest of the year Samsung, Huawei, TCL and […]
AMD vs Intel: CPUs at CES
[ad_1] Aside from a few laptop launches, recently CES hasn't brought much computer news. AMD seems intent on changing that, launching the Radeon VII last year, and this year announcing a slate of new mobile processors. While AMD's chips may be changing… [ad_2] Source link
Hands-on with Intel’s Ghost Canyon NUC and Tiger Lake Xe laptops
[ad_1] All of Intel’s NUC (which stands for “next unit of computing”) devices have been relatively small DIY kits for enthusiasts. They ship with a CPU, but it’s up to you to provide RAM, storage and an OS. I was intrigued by its more gaming-oriented “Hades Canyon” NUC from from a few years ago, which […]
