AMD has typically pushed the envelope in performance, but at CES 2025, the company is also expanding in another direction, with cheaper, lower-performance Ryzen AI 300 and even a Ryzen 200 family that the company is encouraging both consumers and commercial customers to buy. In June, AMD launched the Ryzen AI 300 family, which combined 50 TOPS of AI power with a ton of conventional performance in our Ryzen AI 300 review, including in gaming performance as well. In October, it extended the Ryzen AI 300 to business customers, too. However, AMD built out its high-end Ryzen AI 300 series first, with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (12 cores/24 threads) and the Ryzen AI 9 365 (10 cores/20 threads). Today, it does the opposite, with the launch of four new Ryzen AI 300 series chips -- two each for consumers and business customers -- as well as seven new Ryzen 200 chips to provide slower, less expensive alternatives.

Today might be the coming-out party for Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite chips and a sizeable number of laptop partners, but Intel wants to remind you that it will reveal its next-gen Core Ultra mobile chips, code-named "Lunar Lake," in roughly a week's time. Intel executives, in what was clearly an effort to distract from the launch of a number of PCs powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, said that Lunar Lake is currently in production and is on track to ship in the third quarter. Intel's next desktop processor, "Arrow Lake," is on track to ship during the fourth quarter of 2024. Microsoft launched its Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 with Snapdragon X Elite chips inside at a launch in Redmond, Wash., alongside several laptop vendors using Qualcomm's chip running on Windows on Arm, including Lenovo, Dell, and Acer. In response, Intel executives added to what we already know about Lunar Lake on Monday.

Intel said Tuesday that it is expanding what it calls its AI Acceleration program into midrange software vendors, launching an AI developer NUC to speed the process. It's all a bid to lasso software developers and bring them under the Core Ultra banner. For consumers, the program is an ongoing acknowledgement that Intel continues to work to integrate the NPU inside its Core Ultra processor with software vendors, in order to extract actual value from the logic, and not just capitalize on the latest buzzword, AI. There's a more subtle message, too: if Intel is able to convince software developers to use its OpenVINO toolkit to help them code AI applications, it will help ensure that Intel's Core Ultra chips are the preferred or "better" AI chips. That might not actually be the case, of course. But the push to sign up software developers seems similar to the way in which graphics vendors work with game developers to convince them to add GPU-specific features to their games and thus deliver improved performance.

Fox News Flash top sports headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Now that he's a former NFL player, Donald Driver is allowed to play fantasy football, and he's loving every second of it. The Green Bay Packers legend played 14 seasons, all while calling Lambeau Field his home, and if he could, he probably would have picked himself plenty of times for his fantasy team. Driver had seven seasons of at least 1,000 yards, including six straight from 2004 to 2009.

When I listen to the voice recording I made at the Irvine, California, headquarters of the video-game company Blizzard Entertainment this past January, I hear a noise that many gamers find blissful: the sound of utter mayhem. Playing a prerelease version of Diablo IV, the latest installment in a 26-year-old adventure series about battling the forces of hell, I faced swarms of demons that yowled and belched. I jabbed buttons arrhythmically--click … click … clickclickclick--while trying to stifle curses and whimpers. But the strangest sounds came from the two Diablo IV designers who sat alongside me. As I dueled with an angry sea witch, Joseph Piepiora, an associate game director, gently noted that I was low on healing potions.

Everyone is talking about the latest AI project, Chat GBT, and the responses have ranged from excitement to terror. In fact, Chat GBT has become such a cultural phenomenon that the site is operating at overcapacity, and you can't even get on right now. Kind of like when you call the airline and they ask for your number and say they will text you when you are next in line. In the meantime, AI is already impacting various industries but none more visible or game changing than the sports business. The reason is that predicting future outcomes are essential to everything in sports.

Intel said Monday that the foundation of its next-generation processor, the Intel 4 process, is now "manufacturing-ready today." That process will be used to manufacture Intel's next chip, code-named Meteor Lake. Ann Kelleher, general manager of technology development at Intel, released an updated manufacturing roadmap in conjunction with the 2022 IEEE Electron Device Meeting, published in IEEE Spectrum. The roadmap itself looks similar, albeit with some fine-tuning of the roadmap. The news, however, is that Intel is on the cusp of launching what will probably be its 14th-gen Core chip, Meteor Lake.

At its Search On event today, Google unveiled several new ways to help people more easily find what they're looking for. Some things can be trickier to locate than most, like a particular style of clothing or a certain fragrance. But when it comes to food that makes your mouth and eyes water, Google thinks it can help. Engadget spoke with vice president and general manager of Local Search Yul Kwon to learn how the company believes it can bring people to the dishes they're craving. You might remember him as the winner of Survivor: Cook Islands, but he's also been a management consultant, a law practitioner and the owner of several Red Mango franchise locations in California.
