Intel "Lunar Lake" Updated PL2 Setting Can Yield Up to 30% Higher Gami
We recently published our MSI Claw 8 AI+ A2VM review, which is the only handheld gaming device to utilize the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V "Lunar Lake" CPU, featuring four E-cores and four P-cores, paired with the Intel Arc 140V Xe2 GPU. During our testing, we manually set different TDP values via the Manual power profile slider to see what the results are in gaming and how it compares to other, mostly AMD-based, handhelds. However, Intel notified us about performance levels used in testing, and that the official specification for Lunar Lake states that PL2 should always be at least 1 W higher than PL1, or always set at 37 W (the maximum TDP value for Lunar Lake chips). This means that whenever a CPU can extract an additional boost, it will, yielding up to 30% more performance, as we have seen in our own testing.
Initially, we used the Manual power profile, which had allowed owners to match PL2 to PL1. However, Intel noted that when PL2 is set to at least a single W higher than PL1, there is an expected 10% performance increase across the suite of games, but depending on the scenario, it can lead to a 30% increase in some instances. An update has arrived for the MSI Center M app, which locks PL2 to always be at least 1 W higher than PL1. As a result, you can no longer match the two. It was only possible before the update. In our retest, Cyberpunk 2077 and Space Marine 2 achieved nearly a 30% performance uplift with this setting. The Lunar Lake-based MSI Claw AI+ A2VM handheld is the highest-performing device we have tested across the board, even surpassing AMD-based devices in our testing suite. In other games, baseline improvement is set at 10%, just as Intel had notified. Our testing confirmed that Lunar Lake is now the most powerful gaming CPU for handheld devices.
15:57 UTC: We updated some of the claims to better reflect the PL2 setting and that we manually set TDP values, too.
Below you can find the updated performance graphs.Read full story

Report: AMD Now Commands One-Third of the Desktop x86 Processor Market
Mercury Research compiled the latest data for the second quarter of 2025, with updates across the desktop, mobile, client, and server platforms. In Q2 2025, AMD achieved its best quarter yet. AMD's desktop x86 unit share rose to 32.2%, roughly one third of the market, and its desktop CPU revenue share climbed to 39.3%. Those gains reflect strong demand for Ryzen 9000 series processors and gamers' favorite X3D models, which together have driven both unit momentum and a disproportionate share of dollars in desktop sales. Note that Intel still remains the largest desktop vendor, but its unit share of 67.8% now represents a materially narrower lead than in prior years.
The desktop picture matters because value mix, not just units, is where margins are won. AMD is capturing more high-end sockets and achieving higher average selling prices, which helps its revenue share outpace its unit share. Intel continues to outsell AMD on desktops at a ratio of approximately two to one, down sharply from ratios that were far more present in earlier cycles. That compression signals a more contested market, with AMD converting enthusiast and commercial interest into concrete wins in both retail and OEM channels. Retail and DIY buyers are buying the latest Ryzen parts for gaming and content creation, while some system manufacturers are expanding Ryzen options in their higher-performance prebuilt lines.

Sudokoo Unveils the MACH 120 Line of 30 mm-thick Case Fans
Sudokoo today unveiled the MACH 120, a powerful 120 mm case fan that comes in a thicker 30 mm form-factor, compared to the 25 mm that's standard. The added thickness creates room for a thicker 9-blade impeller with larger sweep area. The impeller is made of liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) with fiber-glass. The motor features 3-pase winding over 10 poles with a high quality hydraulic bearing sourced from Porite Corporation of Japan. The encased bearing and winding technology of the motor allow the fan to have a transparent hubcap.
The Sudokoo MACH 120 measures 120 mm x 120 mm x 30 mm, weighing 230 g. It takes in 4-pin PWM input, and turns between 500 and 3,000 RPM, pushing up to 108 CFM of airflow at its top speed, with an air pressure of 7.31 mm H₂O, and a noise output of 39.9 dBA. At its top speed, the fan draws 6 W of power. Sudokoo is backing the MACH 120 with 6-year warranty. The fan will be sold in single units and packs of 3, given that 360 mm radiators could be their most suitable application. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Normal Computing Tapes Out World's First Thermodynamic Processor
Normal Computing today announced the tape-out of CN101, a thermodynamic computing ASIC that the company calls the first of its kind. The chip targets AI and HPC in modern data centers and reflects Normal's Carnot architecture, which uses physical dynamics such as thermal fluctuations, controlled dissipation, and stochastic transitions to compute. Normal claims CN101 can deliver up to 1,000x better energy efficiency on specific matrix and sampling workloads than conventional accelerators. The tape-out moves the project into silicon characterization and benchmarking, where engineers will measure sampling convergence, metastability lifetimes, and mixing times to validate the claims. Normal plans include CN201 for 2026 and CN301 for 2028, to scale higher-resolution diffusion and video models. Executives envision heterogeneous racks combining CPUs, GPUs, and physics-based ASICs so each problem runs on the most suitable substrate.
Thermodynamic computing replaces standard Boolean logic with many interconnected analog elements that start in semi-random states and settle into an equilibrium that encodes a solution. CN101 links these elements and runs a lattice random walk sampler to steer the system toward useful distributions. Instead of fighting noise, the chip uses randomness to perform tasks like Bayesian inference, probabilistic simulation, and diffusion sampling. Engineers will measure how quickly the device reaches equilibrium, how long useful metastable states last, and how accurately it samples the target distribution, as these factors determine the speed and energy cost. Early tests will also check stability across different temperatures and manufacturing variations. If the results hold up, thermodynamic ASICs could give data centers a more energy-efficient way to scale AI as conventional silicon approaches its known limits.
