MediaTek confirmed its new flagship system-on-chip, built on TSMC’s 2 nm process, will enter tape-out in September 2025. This next-gen SoC is expected to boost power efficiency by 25–30 percent and deliver significant performance gains, targeting late-2025 premium smartphones and AI-enabled wearable devices.

Applied Digital signed a 15-year agreement granting CoreWeave 250 MW of power capacity at its Ellendale, North Dakota campus. This deal supports CoreWeave’s plan to deploy massive NVIDIA GPU clusters, contributing an estimated $7 billion in revenue over the contract’s lifetime and reinforcing Applied Digital’s status as a leading AI-focused real-estate investment trust.

At WWDC 2025, Apple will roll out an upgraded Shortcuts app powered by on-device AI. Users will simply describe tasks in natural language—like “prep workout playlist and set thermostat”—and the AI will assemble complex automations. Because processing stays local, privacy is preserved while delivering smarter, more intuitive automation across iPhones and iPads.
