AMD certifies 5 FX processors for use with VR systems

With the approach of the debut of the first vision for virtual reality no shortage ads related to the various components that will be used by the latter to ensure the best user experience possible use. And 'the case of AMD, engaged in the world of VR with its own GPU Radeon family but obviously interested in promoting their own CPU in systems intended for this use.

The American company has at present certified as compatible with viewers VR 5 own processors FX family:

FX-9590: 8-core architecture, the default clock frequency of 4,7GHz
FX-9370: 8-core architecture, the default clock frequency of 4,4GHz
FX-8370: 8-core architecture, the default clock frequency of 4GHz
FX-8350: 8-core architecture, the default clock frequency of 4GHz
FX-6350: 6-core architecture, of the default clock frequency of 3,9GHz

We mark this as Oculus has indicated the minimum technical standards for matching your Rift viewer systems; to the CPU the American company indicates an Intel Core i5-4690 model but the use of other processor with lower technical specifications on the card does not prevent the use of the display in any way. Oculus does not indicate how none of the recommended CPU AMD FX family and it is for this reason that the American company has chosen to provide its own compatibility list.

To remember, in any case, as regardless of the CPU in the own system the hardware component critical to the quality of reproduction with the VR viewers remains the video card, called upon to manage a large number of pixels with a refresh rate that must optimistically be at least 90 Hz so as to limit the possible phenomena of motion sickness in the user.

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...

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...

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
