We are, by now, accustomed to being dismissive about Microsoft's browsers, especially after years of mockery that the Internet Explorer garnered for operating at a glacial pace. Well, it so happens that Microsoft Edge and its Chromium-based architecture now fall in an entirely different league, especially after years of under-the-hood performance improvements, allowing Microsoft to now uncharacteristically claim a few well-deserved bragging rights. Microsoft appears increasingly confident of its Edge browser, and it's beginning to show up in its swagger on social media It all began with a par-for-the-course ribbing of Microsoft Edge on X. Contrary to expectations, however, most […]

We typically assume that Apple's own apps would almost always beat similar third-party ones on performance and efficiency on Apple's own platforms, especially given the time and resources that the company spends to optimize each facet of its ecosystem. Yet, a creative developer and a group product manager for the Microsoft Edge Web Platform, Kyle Pflug, has just demonstrated that it is possible to beat Apple on its home turf. A prototype Microsoft Edge browser, built using the Blink rendering engine, comprehensively outcompetes Safari on iOS Pflug penned a dedicated post on LinkedIn recently, disclosing that Microsoft's Edge web platform […]

Intel has announced a new round of Core Series 3 processors for laptops. Aimed at entry-level mainstream laptops and edge computing, these new CPUs use Intel's 18A process node, along with Cougar Cove and Darkmont cores, delivering 40 TOPS of AI performance. Systems from OEM partners are scheduled for release starting this month. 

The Core Series 3 family, internally referred to as Wildcat Lake, features a hybrid architecture configured with up to 2 performance cores and 4 low-power efficiency cores. Intel confirms the platform shares architectural foundations with the Core Ultra Series 3 but differentiates itself via cost-saving measures, including a single-channel memory configuration. Integrated graphics are powered by up to 2 Xe3 cores, while the dedicated NPU is rated at up to 17 TOPS.

Connectivity for the platform includes support for Thunderbolt 4, PCIe Gen 4, Wi-Fi 7 (R2), and Bluetooth 6.0. Memory compatibility extends to LPDDR5x at up to 7467MT/s and DDR5 at 6400MT/s. Intel's internal testing claims the flagship Core 7 360 delivers up to 2.1x higher productivity scores in UL Procyon and 2.7x higher AI GPU performance in Geekbench AI than the previous Core 7 150U. Power efficiency is also highlighted, with Intel claiming up to 64% lower processor power consumption during video streaming.

The product stack includes several SKUs spanning the Core 7, Core 5, and Core 3 tiers. The Core 7 360 and 350 feature 6 cores with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.8GHz and a 17TOPS NPU. The Core 5 330, 320, and 315 also utilize 6 cores with frequencies ranging from 4.4GHz to 4.6GHz. The entry-level Core 3 304 offers 5 cores at 4.3GHz. All models operate with a 15W base power and up to 35W turbo power.

Laptops featuring these CPUs will begin shipping soon from the likes of Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo and other OEMs.

It appears that the ongoing inflationary trend vis-à-vis memory chips, despite a modest reduction in spot DRAM prices recently, has reached demand destruction levels. After all, why else would MediaTek and Qualcomm slash their production of mobile chips by millions of units? MediaTek and Qualcomm are reportedly slashing the production of mobile chips geared primarily towards mid and low-end smartphones, as the ongoing memory chipflation starts impacting demand As we noted recently, the wider smartphone industry has been hit by a double whammy of sorts: the astronomical increase in memory chip prices over the past year, largely driven by the […]
