Computing power on AI platforms has become increasingly critical. While upgrading hardware delivers noticeable AI performance gains, it can be costly. MSI conducted hands-on benchmark tests showing that simply tweaking High-Efficiency Mode—a built-in memory overclocking option in MSI BIOS—can optimize DDR5 memory performance and significantly accelerate Large Language Model (LLM) performance without purchasing additional hardware.

At Connect 2026, Meta announced updates to its Ray-Ban Display glasses, including new navigation features, video calling via hologram, expanded app experiences, and availability in five new markets with online ordering.
Navigate Hands-Free
The glasses now offer cycling and public transit directions. Users can ask for directions via voice and see turn-by-turn cycling directions or real-time transit departures on the display, keeping their phone in their pocket. This feature launches later this month in the US and Canada.
A new natural navigation mode uses visual landmarks rather than street...
MLX is Apple's framework for local AI, optimized for Apple Silicon. Hugging Face has supported MLX since its launch as a Christmas present from Awni Hannun and Angelos Katharopoulos in 2023, and the Hub now serves as the primary repository where people find and contribute MLX models.
The project is graduating from a side effort to a fully maintained and funded initiative
The project is graduating from a side effort to a fully maintained and funded initiative, which will provide stability and faster development. Jun will lead the effort full-time, better guiding contributors and planning for...
Some PC builders prioritize maximum performance from their memory kits, while others prioritize compatibility. For builders in the latter group seeking an affordable way to get a PC running with non-standard memory configurations, ASUS has launched AEMP Mix Tuning, a new BIOS feature available now for ASUS Intel 800-series motherboards via firmware update.
AEMP Mix Tuning helps users operate mixed memory configurations of 2-4 DRAM sticks with different models, frequencies, and capacities. The compatibility-first tuning algorithm prioritizes reliable system boots and stable operation while...
