China's ongoing ability to access advanced AI chips from the likes of NVIDIA and AMD has remained a hard-to-crack conundrum in Washington for quite some time now. Even so, the Trump Administration now appears to be tightening the proverbial screws on these advanced chips by chopping off a major loophole that has allowed Chinese companies to circumvent US-led export controls. Back in May 2025, th

The MacBook Neo could retain its status of being the most popular notebook of 2026, because as much as the Snapdragon C was required to stir up the competition, a rumor claims that it may not be the chipset of choice when taking on the A18 Pro in Apple’s affordable portable Mac. There are no benchmarks surrounding the Snapdragon C at this time, but it’s revealed that the SoC features an 8-core CP

Samsung looked more than determined to carve its own path and reduce reliance on Qualcomm when it was reported that the Exynos 2700 would be found in 50 percent of all Galaxy S27 shipments. However, a tipster states that this may not be possible because there’s one major difference between Samsung’s and Qualcomm’s strategies, which we’ve discussed at length below. TSMC’s 2nm N2P architecture is s

Apple is already considering the discontinuation of the MacBook Neo's $599 base variant, which would be equivalent to a stealth price hike of $100. Now, however, as TSMC appears all set to pursue an inflationary pricing regime for its advanced nodes, Apple might have to resort to a bigger price jump to prevent its razor-thin margins on the MacBook Neo from tumbling into the negative territory.
