Intel has rolled out its virtual assistant on Microsoft's Copilot Studio platform, aiming to solve user queries about hardware problems and, hopefully, find solutions. Intel's Virtual Assistant Helps Users to Solve Out Redundant Problems, Redirecting Complex Queries to Humans Intel's efforts for consumers have been really interesting over the past few months, given that the company saw massive success with its Panther Lake launch, which suggests that, at least on the launch front, Team Blue is doing great. However, in terms of after-sales services and customer support, Intel has lagged on several occasions, and we saw significant flaws in how […]

Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron are now entering into the 'production expansion' timeline, but estimates suggest that any capacity increase won't help with the memory shortages for consumers. Memory Manufacturers Are Desperate to Address Shortages, To Ensure That They Don't Miss Out on the Supercycle Memory shortages have now entered a phase in which sellers dominate, as demand has outpaced supply by a wide margin. Given the AI buildout, companies are rushing to secure LTAs with the likes of Micron, and at the same time, demand from the consumer sector isn't slowing down, which means the only possible solution for […]

NVIDIA has sold off its 'last bits' of stake in ARM this week, coming a long way from actually acquiring the company a few years ago. NVIDIA's x86 Deal With Intel Is an 'Indirect Indication' That ARM Alone Cannot Handle the Agentic AI Buildup NVIDIA's partnership with ARM has been pivotal in the modern-day AI buildout, as the company's CPU architecture has enabled it to deliver impressive offerings under the Grace Hopper and Blackwell lineups. More importantly, ARM will also play an essential role in NVIDIA's upcoming Vera CPUs, as the importance of such processing units has been rising significantly. […]
