➀ MediaTek has unveiled two new IoT platforms, the Genio 720 and Genio 520, aimed at bringing advanced generative AI capabilities to edge devices.

➁ These platforms are designed for smart home, retail, industrial, and commercial applications, featuring high performance, advanced multimedia, and energy efficiency.

➂ Built on a 6nm process, they include an octa-core CPU with AI acceleration and support for up to 16GB LPDDR5 memory, enabling real-time AI tasks like natural language processing and computer vision.

➀ Microchip Technology introduces a comprehensive audio-to-haptic reference design tailored for next-generation VR, AR, and gaming devices. This design provides immersive haptic feedback by converting audio input into tactile sensations.

➁ The system features a low-voltage board containing a Bluetooth module (BM83) for wireless synchronization of stereo audio and a microcontroller with DSP for processing and conditioning audio signals. A high-voltage board with amplifiers and a Boost regulator drives up to four haptic actuators.

➂ The reference design is pre-programmed with firmware for immediate use and offers flexibility for customization. It supports battery-powered applications, making it ideal for portable VR and gaming devices.

➀ Infineon Technologies introduces the Power PROFET + 24/48V switch family, designed to optimize power distribution in next-generation vehicles.

➁ The new switch family features two high-side switch variants housed in a compact TO leadless package, offering enhanced efficiency and space-saving design.

➂ These switches minimize power losses in high-current applications, making them ideal for electric, hybrid, and commercial vehicles, with over 1,000,000 switching cycles.

➀ Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs are experiencing premature failures, with over 100 cases documented based on user feedback;

➁ The majority of the failures are occurring on ASRock motherboards, with 82% of cases;

➂ The issue is suspected to be related to the X870 chipset, despite its premium design and components.
