CES 2013 was the exact point where processors became more than just geekdom. For decades, Intel's ruled the roost with a near-monopoly on processors. With the advent of smartphones and tablets, though, the field was blown wide open, and now there's a whole bunch of companies competing to put a slice of their finest silicon into your lucky hands. Here's what's going to be powering 2013's most lustworthy devices. Read More >>

Were children just totally illiterate before Sesame Street? Because the creators of the children's show have great tools for teaching kids how to read—like an upcoming augmented reality app called Big Bird's Words. Read More >>
Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro processor has been blowing us away with its speed in phones like the Nexus 4, and that's why we can't wait to meet its big brothers. The Snapdragon 800 boasts a quad-core Krait 400 CPU, that can go up to 2.3GHz per core. Read More >>
All the way back in the '90s, Qualcomm approached Apple to suggest that it might want to put a radio in its Newton PDA. It could have led to the first ever iPhone two decades early —but instead, Apple told Qualcomm to stick its radio chip somewhere else. Read More >>

Sony has a big vision for the future. It's a future in which we own a Sony tablet; a Sony TV; a Sony phone and a Sony computer, and they all work as one to make our Sony-branded lives better. How's that going to work, then? Read More >>
The non-stop hype machine may be telling you that your phone's an embarrassment if it's not got a quad-core processor inside (and a screen big enough to entertain 100,000 spectators at Hyde Park), but there's still plenty of OOMPH to be had from today's well-tuned dual-core options. Read More >>

We have absolutely no idea what this is: it could be a phone; a tablet...or even not actually exist? Either way, it looks like HTC could finally be bringing out the big guns, as these benchmarks show something quite breathtaking: a device faster than a Galaxy S III. Read More >>
I kind of love it when companies try and "get down with the kids" by releasing rap videos (or in Intel's case, flippin' weird dancing tiger videos.)

Poor battery life is a bitter pill we’ve all been forced to swallow in recent years; compromising the safe knowledge you can travel home from work while streaming Spotify and playing Paper Planes, for the ability to, yes, stream Spotify and play Paper Planes on your way to work. Qualcomm, powering hundreds of smartphones and tablets now, is obviously concerned. Read More >>
