Intel is currently preparing to launch a refreshed version of its existing Arrow Lake lineup next year for desktop, with minor improvements in binning and tuning across the board. We already detailed three chips from this family in a previous leak — one of them was the high-end Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, which has now been spotted on Geekbench for the first time, with seemingly respectable scores to boot. Remember that this is not an official announcement, so take the news with some skepticism.

Like many China-based semiconductor producers that have been hit with U.S. export restrictions, CXMT is one of the companies that prefers to fly under the U.S. government’s radar, so it rarely shares its achievements publicly. Nonetheless, from time to time, the company has to showcase its latest products to attract potential customers. Recently, the company disclosed that it had developed DDR5-8000 and LPDDR5X-10667 memory devices for PCs and mobile devices, according to @tphuang.

AMD has confirmed the existence of RDSEED failure on CPUs based on its latest Zen 5 architecture, a critical security vulnerability in its hardware-based random number generator. The company has confirmed the fault could lead to the random number generator putting out keys that aren't fully unpredictable, opening up a vulnerability to users.

In case you missed it, our coverage of Intel's Tech Tour 2025 included an extensive breakdown of the chip company's upcoming Panther Lake mobile processors. There were many details that Intel left out of its presentation, though. Now, thanks to the tearless retina of the ever-watchful Benchleaks bot, we have our first proper leak of what seems like it may be final or near-final Panther Lake silicon.
