Qualcomm's new chips show how AI agents are tying together phones, laptops, and earbuds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the more interesting trends starting to emerge in personal technology is a simultaneous divergence of devices designed for individual use and a convergence of the computing systems to which they connect. While we're beginning to see a much broader range of intelligent form factors and devices, we're also increasingly seeing them focused on performing AI-powered agentic tasks on our behalf, often through shared platforms. At Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon Summit event in Maui, which the comp
The iPhone Duo's best feature isn't the fold, it's the software built around it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes it really is the details that matter. Or, in the case of cool new hardware, it's the software that can make or break the experience. Apple forcefully made both points with the launch of its new foldable smartphone, the highly anticipated iPhone Duo, which is expected to ship on October 23 at a starting price of $1,999. The Duo features a very nice, if arguably derivative, hardware design that at first glance looks similar to other recent passport-style phones, such as Samsung's Z Fold
Arm's new Mali G2-Ultra NX GPU adds neural accelerators for sub-1-watt AI graphics on mobile (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The big picture: As with all things AI, the world of semiconductors has seen its rate of change increase dramatically over the last year or so. Big traditional players have been inspired to make meaningful advances to their roadmaps, driven in part by a surprisingly large number of smaller startups and new custom silicon entrants from other large tech companies. Most of these efforts have been driven by the sudden transition to agentic AI workloads and the new types of demands placed on computin
How "tokenomics" might save AI PCs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are some interesting things happening in the PC market these days and, more importantly, the potential for even more impactful changes over the next year or so. At a high level, overall PC shipments were predicted to decline and are indeed starting to do so on a unit basis. Driven primarily by huge increases in memory and storage costs, average PC selling prices have risen significantly over the last year. That has dampened overall demand, particularly among cost-sensitive consumers and ot
AMD's Helios rack is finally shipping, and it's coming for Nvidia's AI dominance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In context: When a market is utterly dominated by a single player as AI infrastructure has been by Nvidia, it's tough for any rival to make a dent. No company knows this better than AMD. They've been battling in many segments against Nvidia, as well as other semiconductor giants like Intel, for decades now. That challenge hasn't deterred AMD. If anything, it seems to have sharpened the company's focus. At its recent Advancing AI event in San Francisco, AMD rolled out an unusually dense wave of a
