Since 2023, Huawei has shipped more than 100 million Kirin-powered devices as it advances new processors and expands its AI chip ambitions.

AMD plans to increase chip supply substantially in 2027, but AI demand could keep consumer hardware prices under pressure.

MediaTek has launched its 55 TOPS Dimensity CX C10 Max for premium AI-focused Googlebook laptops arriving later this year.

MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 Pro brings TSMC’s 2nm process, faster performance, improved efficiency and advanced on-device AI to flagship phones.

AMD's Ryzen 5 5500F and 7500 offer affordable six-core options for budget PC builders, targeting AM4 upgrades and new AM5 systems.

Apple’s M5 Ultra brings an 80-core GPU and 512GB memory, while the 2nm M6 focuses on faster, more efficient Mac performance.

Apple is reportedly preparing an M6 iMac for late 2026, with new colours but no major design or display changes.
