It looks like Intel is prepping Arrow Lake-H processors for ultra-high-performance gaming notebooks based on the Arrow Lake-S silicon designed for desktops, and featuring up to 24 cores, noticed @InstLatX64 on Twitter/X. If this is the case, this will not be the first time that Intel and partners will install desktop silicon into laptops.

Following the Ryzen 5 9600X L1 and L2 cache story we wrote earlier today, benchmark results of AMD's new Zen 5 mid-range chip in CPU-Z have cropped up, showing a 12% performance increase for the 9600X over its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 7600X. The new benchmark was discovered by HXL on X (formally Twitter). At first glance, CPU-Z's performance estimations suggest the 9600X's performance is weaker than what AMD claimed in its Computex announcement.

Samsung Foundry is about to land an order from AMD to make the latter's processors using 3nm-class process technology with gate-all-around field effect transistors (GAAFETs), reports Korea Economic Daily. The information is strictly unofficial and should be taken with a grain of salt. Yet, if the report is accurate, this will mark the first time in recent years that AMD will dual-source its products.

Samsung and SK hynix are finally retiring their respective DDR3 production lines for good, according to reports from IT Home. The two Korean memory manufacturers will reportedly stop supplying DDR3 memory to the market by the second half of this year. Both companies are making this change in response to growing demand for AI-optimized HBM3 memory, so Samsung and SK hynix are focusing on more lucrative markets.
