Intel has finally detailed its next-generation Lunar Lake architecture, with "breakthrough" x86 power efficiency, a "massive leap" in graphics performance for "great" mobile gaming, and unmatched future-ready AI compute.

The next-generation Lunar Lake architecture features 32GB of on-package memory, support for LPDDR5X DRAM, all-new Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores) that deliver a "significant performance and energy efficiency improvements".

The fourth-generation Intel NPU has up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, with Intel reiterating that the powerful NPU inside of Lunar Lake delivers 4x the AI compte performance over the previous generation (Meteor Lake). There's an all-new GPU design with Battlemage, combining two new innovations: Xe2 GPU cores for graphics, and Xe Matrix Extension (XMX) arrays for AI.

Intel's Arrow Lake desktop processors are going to be out in October, or at least that's the word from Computex 2024.

This comes from Wccftech which has been tapping motherboard makers at Computex, firms that are showing off their Z890 boards - and have inside info on the Arrow Lake release timeframe.

Note that the mentioned October date is for Arrow Lake CPUs to be on shelves, not just some kind of initial reveal. In fact, the announcement of the next-gen desktop processors is planned to happen at Intel Innovation in September (which has been previously mentioned via the rumor mill).

At Computex 2024, we saw one of MSI's latest Z790 PROJECT ZERO PLUS motherboards, designed for extreme overclocking with Intel CPUs. It adopts CAMM2, an alternative to SO-DIMM for laptops, and sits flat on the motherboard. MSI co-developed this memory solution with Intel. Its placeholder name is Mini_CUDIMM, and the Z790 PROJECT ZERO PLUS board supports 12th Gen and higher Intel Core processors.

Like the magnetically attached heatsinks for storage on the new Z790 PROJECT ZERO PLUS, this has one that comes standard with the motherboard. CAMM stands for Compression Attached Memory Module. It was initially designed to replace SO-DIMM in laptops, incorporating a dual-channel configuration into a single solution. It's being used primarily for high-speed memory for PC gaming, starting at DDR5-8400 speeds.

MSI believes overclockers will be able to push speeds higher than what we've seen with standard DDR5 modules, which is exciting. Each module supports up to 128GB, so you've got enough capacity, too. "These optimizations allow for extreme overclocking, delivering unmatched performance for enthusiasts seeking the ultimate," MSI writes in the press release.

MSI has unveiled its new flagship gaming PC at Computex 2024 and just like everything else at this year's trade show it includes artificial intelligence (AI).

If you have seen any news coming out of Computex 2024 you would have noticed AI has made its way into almost every product, and all-in-one (AIO) gaming PC's are no exception. MSI provided me with a tour of their booth this year where they showed off their new flagship gaming PC called the MEG Vision X AI. This new gaming PC is an extension of the company's Vision line and includes a new eye-catching case that uses some wraparound glass to make all of the internal components visible.

However, that isn't the most eye-catching thing about the MEG Vision X AI, as you have already probably noticed the large touchscreen. According to MSI representatives at the booth this new touchscreen can be synced to MSI's "exclusive AI apps for enhanced AI functionality".

MSI has showcased a new range of gaming monitors at Computex 2024 and the company demoed a new AI gaming monitor that has the potential of completely disrupting the gaming industry, particularly the competitive space.

Introducing, the MEG 321URX, a QD-OLED gaming monitor that arrives with a 3840 x 2160p resolution, 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time. While those specifications are certainly impressive, and is something I have complimented MSI for in my review of the display, it's not the aspect of the monitor that is capable of causing an uproar. The model showcased at Computex 2024 featured the same specifications, but with a few key changes and that was the inclusion of a light bar and what MSI calls AI Sky Sight.

This new technology was originally spotted at CES 2024, but has now been changed according MSI representatives at the MSI booth on the showroom floor. MSI describes the new version of the MEG 321URX as the "World's first true AI gaming monitor" as Sky Sight uses an AI engine to scan the game that is being played and provide the player with additional information.

The first day of Computex 2024 is here and to kick things off MSI has unveiled its latest ultrawide gaming monitor that now arrives with gorgeous OLED pixel technology.

MSI was kind enough to give me a tour of their booth at Computex where they showcased the company's latest and greatest offering in the ultrawide form factor. Introducing, the MSI MPG 341CQPX, which features Samsung's new ultrawide QD-OLED panel that provides incredible rich colors and deep blacks. The MPG 341CQPX provides gamers with a 3440 x 1440p resolution that's combined with a 240Hz refresh rate and a extremely low 0.03ms response time, thanks the QD-OLED pixel technology.

As for what generation of QD-OLED panel the MPG 341CQPX, reports indicate that it features Samsung's Gen 1.5 pixel technology, which means text fringing may be an issue, similar to the text issues we have seen in some of Samsung's early generation OLED panels. These issues were ironed out in its third generation OLED panel technology.

Qualcomm held its Computex 2024 keynote earlier today, hyping both the Copilot+ PC ecosystem and its new Snapdragon X Series processors.

In the Qualcomm Computex 2024 keynote YouTube video above, at the 11:34 mark Neowin reports that Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon said that these initial laptops being released are just the first wave of Windows PCs that will feature Snapdragon X Elite chips.

Qualcomm teased renders of PCs with Snapdragon X Elite chips inside, with Amon saying that the new Snapdragon X Series chips will be inside all sorts of form factor PC systems. The company had some slides up that showed off tablet designs, Mini-PCs, and even all-in-one PC systems.

Qualcomm has just hosted its Computex 2024 keynote, with president and CEO Cristiano Amon joined by tech industry leaders on stage, including from Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Samsung for the industry shift in the PC space enabled by Copilot+ PCs powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X series processors.

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said: "The PC is reborn. Copilot+ PCs powered by Snapdragon X Elite are the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built with AI integrated throughout the system and can deliver multi-day battery life. I am grateful to the partners that joined me on stage today to celebrate this industry shift that puts Snapdragon powered Windows Copilot+ PCs at the forefront of technology innovation. Together, we are redefining the personal computing experience, and enabling developers to efficiently create apps for this new generation".

The new Snapdragon X series chips were the big focus, with Amon highlighting the NPU inside of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X series processors as the "key differentiator and reason why performance of PCs powered by Snapdragon X Series is superior and makes Copilot+ experiences possible".

NVIDIA had quite a lot to announce at Computex 2024, but one of the biggest teases are future-gen AI GPU architectures including something we've been hearing rumbles for a while now: Rubin.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang revealed the next-gen Rubin GPU architecture, named after American astronomer Vera Rubin, who made significant contributions to the understanding of dark matter in the universe, while also pioneering work on galaxy rotation rate.

The thing is, NVIDIA hasn't even got its new Blackwell AI GPUs out into the wild yet, but we're already seeing Rubin announced. NVIDIA's new Blackwell B100 and B200 AI GPUs will arrive later this year, but the company has supercharged versions that will feature 12-Hi HBM3E memory stacks across 8 sites versus the 8-Hi HBM3E memory stacks across 8 existing products, we should see these beefed-up Blackwell AI GPUs arrive in 2025.

AMD had some big reveals at Computex 2024 including its next-gen Zen 5 architecture, but new AI accelerators were also teased. This includes the Instinct MI325X "CDNA 3", the MI350X "CDNA 4" and the next-gen MI400 "CDNA Next" AI accelerators for data centers, and the cloud.

AMD's new Instinct MI325X AI accelerator will use the same CDNA 3 architecture as the just-launched Instinct MI300 series AI accelerators, with a monster 288GB of HBM3E memory with up to 6TB/sec of memory bandwidth. We'll see 1.3 PFLOPs of FP16, and up to 2.6 PFLOPs of FP8 compute performance, with up to 1 trillion parameters per server.

AMD compared its upcoming Instinct MI325X AI accelerator against NVIDIA's new beefed-up Hopper H200 AI GPU:
