Both AMD and Intel reports increased demand for CPUs, driven by AI agents' need for general computing power.

The man who tried to split Intel retires from the board of directors.

Intel formally announces Xeon 6+ CPUs with up to 288 cores that are made on 18A process technology.

AMD launched its first processors with on-die L2 cache this week in 1999, heralding the beginning of the Super Socket 7 era.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D now leads AMD’s gaming lineup, but Intel’s Core i9-14900K remains a powerful choice for productivity-focused users. We tested both in a head-to-head battle to see which CPU comes out on top.

Leading Linux publication Phoronix has tested 15 Intel mobile processors launched over an 18-year period.

We’re retesting a decade’s worth of CPUs for our CPU hierarchy and Bench database, and we’re taking Tom’s Hardware Premium users behind the scenes to show you how it’s done.

We tested CPU scaling in Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem with some fascinating results. However, we weren’t able to get through a full suite of CPUs due to Capcom’s use of Denuvo Anti-Tamper in Resident Evil 9.

After years of rumors and leaks, something feels different in the air as multiple reports are now pointing toward an actual, official launch for Nvidia's N1/N1X SoCs. These highly elusive chips have been in the works for years, have faced multiple delays, but the excitement for their release never died down.

Intel's confirms 'Unified Cores' project in a job listing, but actual CPUs with these unified cores could be years away.

The next desktop chips from AMD are said to refresh the core configs of the Ryzen brand in a major way. Finally stepping away from 8-core CCDs, "Ryzen 10000" is said to bring 12-core chiplets that should enable a new 24-core dual CCD flagship option. The base config is reportedly 6 cores, so budget buyers shouldn't worry.

As part of a broad partnership announced today, Nvidia says Meta will deploy its Arm-powered Grace server CPUs as standalone platforms in production data centers to boost performance-per-watt in certain workloads.

To save a few bucks, someone ordered a used Ryzen 9 9900X3D worth $530 from Amazon but received a $150 Ryzen 9 3900X instead. The CPU had been replaced inside the box to deceive any inspection and was likely resold to the unlucky buyer, who ended up getting much less valuable silicon than they paid for.

Following a complaint filed in 2016, the Competition Commission of India concluded that Intel’s India-only warranty rules were discriminatory compared to policies in other countries.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D and Ryzen 7 9800X3D are the fastest gaming CPUs around, but which one is better? We tested both in a head-to-head gauntlet on in games, productivity apps, overclocked scenarios, and more to find out.

As AMD gains market share in desktops, laptops, and servers, its overall x86 share hits all time high at 29.2%.

The compute tile of Intel's Nova Lake CPU will be slightly smaller than compute tile of Arrow Lake CPU, but will likely be more expensive to make at TSMC.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D is the fastest gaming CPU around, but the Ryzen 7 9800X3D can match it if you simply flick on PBO. Our benchmarking shows that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D can make up the performance gap without manual overclocking in games.

Sometime in 2027 to 2028, AMD could release Medusa Halo, its next-gen entry in the high-performance Halo APU lineup. It's said to feature Zen 6 CPU cores and RDNA 5 graphics. A new leak suggests it could also support LPDDR6 memory, enabling bandwidths up to 460.8 GB/s on a 256-bit interface with 14,400 MT/s speeds.

Fresh leaks reveal that Nova Lake might have a maximum power limit of 700W on the top-end, unlocked silicon with dual compute tiles. Moreover, Nova Lake is apparently blocking TJMax offsets and removing the ability to prevent thermal throttling. Lastly, the family can apparently boot without the P-cores entirely, relying on LP-E cores or E-cores.
