Following legislation and major investments from the US and EU to bolster their domestic chip manufacturing industries, and restrictions on the sale of high end chips and tools to China, comes the 100% expected Chinese response.
Xiaomi has always been one of Qualcomm’s phone partners that gets to announce its flagships with a premium chipset first. When it comes to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 that we will most likely see getting announced in October, the Chinese company is once more said to have priority on the announcements, but only for its high-end offerings.
AMD will reportedly debut its next-gen AM5 motherboards for Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs under the 800-series branding.
May 30 will mark yet another free game giveaway on the Epic Games Store, but what has the potential to be an exceptional gift may be soured by recent developments. Seemingly in the interest of wresting some market share from PC gaming's most popular digital storefront, Valve's Steam, free game giveaways have become common on the Epic Games Store, typically with one offered every week.

There's good news and bad news for Helldivers 2 players, although in this case they're basically the same thing. The bad news is that 12 Super Earth scientists at a Dark Fluid Research Facility were, uh, "spaghettified" after the volatile material suddenly and without warning collapsed into a «micro black hole.» The good news is that this unfortunate incident has some players convinced that the arrival of the Illuminate, the so-far-absent third enemy faction in Helldivers 2, is imminent.
AMD Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" Desktop CPUs are reportedly going to hit retail shelves in July and will include four distinct flavors with Zen 5 cores.
Apple’s iPhone shipments dropped by 10 percent in Q1 2024, allowing Samsung to regain the top position for this quarter. Naturally, the technology giant would be eager to reclaim its place as the biggest global smartphone brand, and according to the latest report, it aims to achieve this by targeting its rival’s home market, South Korea, as one of the first regions for the iPhone 16 launch. With Samsung not expected to unveil its Galaxy S25 series until next year, it could give Apple the upper hand in the coming months.
Apple announced the 11-inch and 13-inch M4 iPad Pro models that ship with Tandem OLED technology. Where multiple reports expected the new tablets to be significantly pricier than their mini-LED counterparts, the Cupertino giant once again defied those claims by introducing a $999 starting price for the latest lineup. It is possible that the relatively affordable pricing is what has generated some momentum for the slates, as according to the latest figures, shipments are estimated to reach 9 million units.
