It's probably good that previous-generation CPUs will be the leading solution for upcoming GeForce RTX 50series-equipped gaming laptops.

The core concept behind SOM is using unique chalcogenide materials that perform double duty as both the memory cell and the selector device. In traditional phase-change or resistive RAM, you need a separate component, like a transistor, to act as the selector to activate each cell. Conversely, the chalcogenide material in SOM switches between conductive and resistive states to store data.

8BitDo opened pre-orders for its Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller this week, with shipping to start November 29. The attachable gamepad comes in black or white and clamps onto any Android phone or tablet between 3.9" to 6.6" in length. Unlike the ever-popular Backbone One, it connects over Bluetooth instead of the phone's data port, so it needs a battery.

Researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Lab have developed a new type of optical memory that stores data by transferring light from rare-earth element atoms embedded in a solid material to nearby quantum defects. They published their study in Physical Review Research.

Does Arm's latest move – canceling a Qualcomm license – imply they're willing to take the very risky step of pushing this lawsuit all the way to a jury trial? At the most basic level, this lawsuit is essentially a contract dispute: Qualcomm pays one rate, and Arm thinks Qualcomm should pay a different, higher rate. But this cancellation clearly implies that Arm could cause deeper problems for Qualcomm, should they choose to.

According to data from a credible source cited by Notebookcheck, Google's own projections reveal how the Tensor G5 and G6 will measure up against flagship processors from competitors like Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple. The publication notes that these forecasts consider anticipated performance improvements from companies such as Qualcomm, which is expected to introduce new Nuvia cores with a substantial boost in capability.

According to Android Authority, the Tensor G5 – codenamed "Laguna" – will feature the Arm Cortex-X4 CPU architecture, similar to the Pixel 9's Tensor G4 but with a different core configuration. While the G4 has a 1+3+4 setup comprised of one prime core, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores, the G5 is expected to adopt a 1+5+2 layout with one Cortex-X4 prime core, five Cortex-A725 performance cores, and two Cortex-A520 efficiency cores.
