Qualcomm is working on a 12-core ARM PC chip
Coming in 2024
Though the company still stands at the forefront of smartphone processors, Qualcomm has some ways to go before making a significant impact on desktop processors. Of course, the company has already started making PC chips for a while now. However, other giants, like Intel and AMD, continue to dominate. According to a new report, Qualcomm is taking another crack at the market with an upcoming 12-core chipset.
Codenamed Hamoa, the upcoming chipset will reportedly feature eight performance cores and four efficiency cores. Additionally, it will support discrete GPUs.
In terms of architecture, the Hamoa will have a similar memory and cache configuration as Apple’s M1 chipset. That’s no coincidence, though. According to the report from developer Kuba Wojciechowski, the chip will be based on Nuvia’s Phoenix design. Nuvia is made up of Apple’s former engineers who worked on the existing lineup of ARM-based chips.
With a big name behind it, the Hamoa has the potential to make a big splash on the scene once it launches. While the PC market has its fair share of big names, Apple has similarly wowed users with the M1 and the M2 chipsets. Naturally, it’s a point of jealousy since Apple chipsets only work with Apple. With the Hamoa chip, Qualcomm could infuse the market with a similar chipset.
Wojciechowski expects the processor to launch in 2024.
GIGABYTE has launched two new AORUS INFINITY graphics cards in celebration of its 40th anniversary, giving PC builders more options for their custom builds.
These are the AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 INFINITY 16G and the unique, nature-inspired AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 INFINITY WOOD 16G.
These high-end components are genuine design objects meant to elevate the look of one’s entire setup, while also providing topnotch GPU performance.
The new models build on the design language of the AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 INFINITY and further evolve the signature aerospace turbine-inspired aesthetic with integrated RGB lighting elements.
Particularly, the WOOD edition integrates wood-grain elements as its core design language, blending the warmth of natural textures with high-performance hardware.
As such, it is a crown jewel for lifestyle-focused users and interior design lovers, bringing a sense of warmth and emotional resonance.
At the same time, both are absolute powerhouses inside. GIGABYTE packed the new AORUS INFINITY models with the WINDFORCE Hyperburst cooling system.
The patented Hawk fan design minimizes airflow turbulence and noise while achieving higher air pressure and greater air volume.
In the thermal design is a large vapor chamber making direct contact with the GPU. This is paired with composite copper heat pipes to effectively accelerate heat transfer efficiently.
Both new AORUS INFINITY graphics cards support the Project Stealth series for a streamlined building experience.
The concealed power connector design neatly hides cables within the graphics card structure for a cleaner, less cluttery look.
At WWDC 2026, Apple unveiled Siri AI, a smarter version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, with personal context, onscreen awareness, deeper app integration, and a brand-new experience across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro.
Apple also announced new Apple Intelligence features, Google Gemini-powered foundation models, smarter photo editing tools, improved parental controls, faster performance across iPhone and iPad, and the next version of macOS: Golden Gate.
In this WWDC 2026 Rewind, Michael Josh breaks down the biggest announcements, what actually matters. And, whether Apple finally delivered on the promises it made last year.
