Intel’s next-gen integrated graphics, the Arc B370, just popped up in a new benchmark leak – and frankly, the numbers are shocking for a chip that lives directly on the CPU.

To put that in perspective, this integrated chip is 33% faster than Intel’s actual desktop graphics card, the Arc A380, and 70% faster than the current Lunar Lake chips. Even more impressive? It did this while…

Google has rolled out the most significant upgrade in Chrome’s history; it is embedding some advanced AI-based features directly into the web browser.

Furthermore, Chrome’s AI tools are now being marketed as native browser features, suggesting they may become an integral part of the…
Researchers at the University of Washington have just unveiled a prototype that might finally fix one of the most annoying parts of being in a crowd: actually hearing the person standing next to you. The team built AI-powered headphones that can automatically isolate the voice of the person you’re talking to, even in a chaotic, noisy room. The best part? You don’t have to fiddle with an app or stare intensely at the speaker to make it work. The system is smart enough to detect the natural rhythm of a conversation and filter the audio accordingly, muting the background noise…
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by Spotify‘s algorithm recommending songs that don’t match your taste, there’s some good news.

After resolving its carriage dispute with Disney and restoring all affected channels last month, YouTube TV has announced a major overhaul coming in 2026. The streaming service plans to introduce new genre-specific “YouTube TV Plans” early next year, giving viewers more choice and flexibility to tailor their subscriptions and potentially lower their costs.

While subscribers will have the choice to continue with the platform’s main one-size-fits-all plan that offers access to over 100 channels,…
Bad news for anyone waiting on Meta’s answer to the Apple Vision Pro. The company has officially hit the brakes on its next-gen mixed reality glasses – code-named Phoenix – delaying the launch from late 2026 to the first half of 2027. Internal memos are floating around describing Phoenix as Meta’s most direct rival to Apple’s headset yet. But it looks like leadership at Reality Labs decided they needed more time to get it right rather than rushing a buggy product out the door. What Happened & Why Meta Is Delaying Phoenix In a message to the team, Reality Labs…
