DRAGON DA COMPETITION

Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme landed in its first retail laptop, the ASUS Zenbook A16.

https://www.engadget.com/computing/laptops/asus-zenbook-a16-review-a-surprisingly-light-and-powerful-16-inch-ultraportable-140000914.html

Weighing in at only 2.65 lbs but still having an 18-core ARM chip it makes me say floats like a Qualcomm, stings like a dragon

https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/for-home/zenbook/asus-zenbook-a16-ux3607/

Editor: Couldn't highlight but top page where it lists weight and chip

Asus even calling it the FASTEST Snapdragon laptop

https://www.asus.com/ca-en/laptops/for-home/zenbook/asus-zenbook-a16-ux3607/

Editor: Highlight not working Performance tab pic of Snapchip on Asus zenbook page.

Early benchmarks have it edging Apple's M4 Pro in multi-core, and even flying past the base M5 chip.

https://lmg.gg/edgesm4pro-m5blasts

Editor: Highlighted quote

THAT'S THE APPLE CHIPS,.In Geekbench multi-core, the only chip that beat it was Apple's brand-new M5 Pro, everything else, including the M4 Pro, the base M5, Intel's Panther Lake, and AMD's 32-core Ryzen AI Max+ 395, ate its dust.

https://lmg.gg/losingthecrown

Editor: Not the highlight but easier to find, right below Screenshot the Geekbench 6.6: Multi-Core Screenshot

And even stood toe to toe with AMD's 32-core Ryzen AI Max+ 395 in Cinebench

https://infogram.com/1pqdpv976nv02mcqrzz09kwr7dc02j17395

Of course before solidifying it's crown Apple’s new M5 Pro wandered in and took it back.

https://lmg.gg/losingthecrown

But that's a Macbook M5 PRO, and the Zenbook itself is absurd. A 16-inch 120Hz OLED, 48GB on-package RAM WHAT THE HELL, and a 1TB SSD, in a chassis lighter than most 14-inchers.

for $1,699 at Best Buy.

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/asus-zenbook-a16-16-3k-oled-touch-screen-laptop-copilot-pc-

However slightly concerning aspects like the battery life, Tom Hardware clocked it at 10.5 hours, five behind the M5 macbook air, which is rough for a chip whose entire brand is “arm efficiency”

QUICKBITS

iFold

Apple's first foldable iPhone just got its first dummy-unit leak, courtesy of reliable leaker Sonny Dickson. Not to be confused with unreliable leaker, Cloudy Richardson.

https://x.com/SonnyDickson/status/2041395690598019402

A render by AppleTrack based on previous rumors, seems to match up with the phone

https://x.com/appltrack/status/2040301828932563253

The "iPhone Fold" is shaping up to be a wide, passport-style book fold with two rear cameras,

https://lmg.gg/ifoldcam

a 7.8-inch inner display and a rumored ~$2,000 starting price

https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/foldable-iphone-design-revealed/#:~:text=7%2E8,around%20%242%2C000%2E

Unlike the iPhone 18 Pro and Max dummies, the fold sadly shows no familiar MagSafe circle beneath the camera bar.

https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/04/07/first-iphone-fold-dummy-images-show-no-magsafe

Apparently the $600 iPhone 17e gets wireless charging, but the $2,000 one folds instead.

TERA-FIED

Intel has signed on to Elon Musk's $25 billion Terafab project,

https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/elon-musks-25-billion-terafab-project-gets-a-helping-hand-from-intel/

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan called it a 'step change' in semiconductor manufacturing"

https://lmg.gg/lipstepchangetweet

but the photo of these two nerds shaking hands looks less like a partnership and more like a legally binding ritual to summon an AI girlfriend from the astral plane.  Truly the most bully-able handshake in history

MAC TO THE FUTURE?

Apple has officially approved drivers from AI startup Tiny Corp that let AMD and Nvidia eGPUs run on Apple Silicon Macs over Thunderbolt or USB4.

Talk about the worst day to post this awesome news, but its legit https://x.com/__tinygrad__/status/2039213719155310736

"the first time external GPUs have worked on M-series Macs since the M1 launched in 2020 and killed external nvidia GPU support"

RESIDENT EVIL: GITHUB EDITION?

Actress Milla Jovovich co-released an open-source AI memory tool called MemPalace with developer Ben Sigman? The state goal of something-something  improving how AI remembers info over long conversations/tasks.

https://x.com/bensig/status/2041236952998171118

The github repo claims a world-first 96.6% score on the LongMemEval benchmark, which is actually a strong result - if true.

https://github.com/milla-jovovich/mempalace#:~:text=96%2E6%25LongMemEval%20R%405raw%20mode%2C%20zero%20API%20calls

After the co-developer Sigman claimed it had a 100% score, something was up

https://lmg.gg/100claimtweetsigman

Community notes appeared so fast the X post is now basically 50% asterisk.

https://lmg.gg/100claimtweetsigman

Editor: show community note

And “Due to Jovovich’s lack of GitHub history, something felt fishy…[an] X user alleges that Sigman and Jovovich hired a mystery developer called “Lu” to code MemPalace.
