Overclockers used our Ballistix Elite 3600MT/s to set a new record for the fastest DDR4 memory frequency at a blistering 5726MT/s. That’s 79 percent faster than the max JEDEC DDR4 speed of 3200MT/s and 115 percent faster than the 2666 MT/s considered mainstream today.

Google has officially released its Edge TPU (TPU stands for tensor processing unit) processors in its new Coral development board and USB accelerator. The Edge TPU is Google’s inference-focused application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that targets low-power “edge” devices and complements the company’s “Cloud TPU,” which targets data centers.

Intel and partners Bluefors and Afore have created a cryoprober, named the Cryogenic Wafer Prober, that allows researchers to test qubits on 300mm silicon wafers at temperatures of only a few Kelvins. According to Intel, this is the first such quantum computing testing tool to ever exist.

A recent DigiTimes report claimed Apple will start using TSMC’s next-generation 5nm process technology in its iPhones next year. Apple also used TSMC’s first-generation 7nm process node exclusively to manufacture its A12 processor.

Researchers have demonstrated the first practical malware for Intel’s Software Guard eXtensions (SGX). The academics believe that current SGX vulnerabilities can turn Intel’s supposed security feature into something that could ultimately harm users, as SGX enables attackers to deploy “super-malware” with ready-to-hit exploits.

On Thursday, Intel notified its partners that it's going to discontinue the Itanium 9700-series Kittson processors, which were the last processors on the market to use Intel’s Itanium architecture. Intel plans to stop shipping the Itanium-based Kittson processors by mid-2021

DigiTimes based its report Asus confirmed in December 2018 that Intel's processor shortage was negatively affecting its business.
