    Samsung readies LPCAMM2 LPDDR5X modules with up to 96GB and 9600 MT/s

    The LPCAMM2 design is part of an ongoing effort to replace soldered LPDDR in mobile and ultra-thin systems with memory that is both upgradeable and space-efficient. It builds on first-generation LPCAMM2 modules, which typically shipped with LPDDR5 memory. The new LPDDR5X variant continues that evolution, delivering higher efficiency and faster… Read Entire Article Source link More

    Brain-inspired chip is helping robots to see faster and in real time

    The breakthrough builds on neuromorphic engineering, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. Unlike traditional processors, which separate memory and computation, neuromorphic chips integrate both functions, enabling faster and more energy-efficient data handling. This biologically inspired approach has long been considered a promising way to narrow the… Read Entire Article Source link More

    Apple's bad week: FTC pressure, delayed Siri AI, and a stock sell-off

    The latest catalyst for the sell-off is an FTC letter sent to Apple CEO Tim Cook, alleging that Apple News promotes liberal media outlets while suppressing conservative ones. According to the agency, this alleged left-wing bias violates federal consumer protection laws and raises “serious questions” about whether the company is… Read Entire Article Source link More

    Researchers turn Edison's 1879 light bulb into a mini graphene reactor

    Graphene is a two-dimensional lattice of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern, renowned for its exceptional electrical conductivity, thermal transport, and mechanical strength. Turbostratic graphene is a stacked variant in which the layers are rotated and misaligned, weakening interlayer coupling and making the material easier to process at scale.

    Driverless freight hits a new milestone with Aurora's 1,000-mile route

    The journey takes Aurora’s autonomous trucks roughly 15 hours, or about half the time a human operator could legally drive under federal hours-of-service rules. Existing regulations limit truck drivers to 11 hours of driving within a 14-hour window, require a 30-minute break after eight hours, and mandate a 10-hour rest… Read Entire Article Source link More

    Automakers lose emissions credits for start-stop technology under new EPA rules

    Start-stop is a relatively small feature with a dense engineering stack behind it. Modern systems tie together the engine control unit, starter-alternator hardware, beefed-up 12-volt or dual-battery architectures, and climate-control logic to shut the engine off during idle while keeping steering assist, brake boosting, and cabin comfort online.

    AMD moves closer to open-source firmware with openSIL test, set to replace AGESA

    This early implementation is purely experimental. 3mdeb describes it as a proof of concept rather than a stable release, noting that it’s not suitable for production systems. Yet the project gives firmware developers a rare opportunity to see how AMD’s next-generation silicon initialization layer operates in practice before it replaces… Read Entire Article Source link More
