Micron promises to deliver sequential read bandwidths of over 26GB/s — quite a feat, considering that the fastest SSDs out right now max out at 14.5GB/s.

The next SSDs may be over 80% faster

Intel has shared more about the voltage-related issues that affected some 13th- and 14th-generation Core processors, as the company tries to put the episode behind it. As reported by Tom's Hardware, Intel says that the problem originated with "elevated operating voltage" stemming from "incorrect voltage requests," specifically an increase to the minimum operating voltage of the chips. These "elevated voltage events can accumulate over time," eventually damaging the processor and causing system hangs or crashes.

Apple’s smallest Mac is in for some major changes, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. A new version of the Mac Mini coming later this year will undergo the product’s most significant redesign in over a decade. Gurman says “the device will be far smaller than its predecessor, approaching the size of an Apple TV set-top box.” That’s tiny, even if the Mini will likely be taller than Apple’s streamer.

That’s one way to squeeze some more juice out of the thing, right?
