The GeForce Pascal midrange on the market in autumn

Sweclockers contains some interesting information on future generations of video cards NVIDIA GeForce family destined for the mid-market segment. We are talking about products that will adopt GPU given by name in the GP106 code solution shown by NVIDIA officially on the occasion of its GPU Technology Conference as a member of the PX2 Drive module for autonomous driving.

These GPUs, according to the source, will be made available by NVIDIA in the market only during the autumn so do not coincide with the best proposals of the GeForce GTX family range are expected for the 2016 Computex Taipei.

A choice of this kind is not surprising, because in the past the US company chose to different presentation times for its next-generation GPU depending on market positioning. Initially they propose the GPU top of the line, then move to the mainstream solutions up to the entry level.

The GP106 chip will be used in cards designed to take the place of the models GeForce GTX 960 and GeForce GTX 950, solutions that continue to reap success in the market thanks to the combination of speed performance and cost of acquisition. Do not have at the moment technical details on GP106 GPU but in view of the innovations introduced with the Pascal architecture you can assume the presence of cards that do not require additional power connector and thus capable of generating a total consumption very low overall.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
