• Apple's upcoming M7 processor, destined for a full rollout with Pro, Max, and Ultra models, is expected to support as much as 1.5TB of RAM for local AI and other massively intensive workloads. (WCCFTech)
  
  Which will cost $37,500. For the RAM. The rest of the computer will be... Actually relatively inexpensive.
  
  
  
• Apple is already working on the next-generation M8 chip, which will use a 1.4nm process. (WCCFTech)
  
  TSMC plans initial production of 1.4nm chips in 2028, so this is likely three years away.

• AMD's latest graphics driver update brings ray regeneration (improved ray tracing), radiance caching, and multi-frame generation. (WCCFTech)
  
  Frame generation is a sore spot for many games. It uses AI to generate in-between frames to smooth out game graphics, much the same way upscaling generates in-between pixels to make each frame of graphics look better.
  
  The problem is that the overhead of frame generation makes the game run slower rather than faster, while it looks smoother. The imbalance can be jarring.
  
  
  
• If Apple's Lisa - now available in an FPGA for for $350 - is too fancy for you, why not go seriously old school with an Apple I? (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Apart from the fact that it costs as much as a house.
