Arm has unveiled its next-generation Neoverse CSS N4 platform, codenamed Ranger, and the numbers are striking. Up to one hundred twenty-eight cores packed onto a single die, built on TSMC's three-nanometer-plus process. This is Arm's semi-custom program maturing in real time, giving cloud providers the flexibility to configure core counts, cache, and connectivity without starting from scratch. The data center wars just got another contender.
Meanwhile, Intel is claiming a significant manufacturing milestone, crossing one million wafers processed using its High-NA EUV scanners in under two and a half years. The company says that pace outstrips the rest of the industry combined. Intel is also pioneering larger six-by-twelve-inch photomasks, a move aimed at reducing field stitching and cutting production costs. It is a rare piece of good news for a chipmaker that has spent years fighting to reclaim its manufacturing edge.
And on the security front, a new report finds that roughly eighty percent of AI tools running inside organizations are operating without any IT oversight whatsoever. Browser agents and integration tools are slipping past security teams entirely, with six hundred thirty-seven vulnerabilities tracked across agents and large language models. The message is straightforward: the speed of AI adoption has badly outrun the governance structures meant to contain it.
