Meta has delivered a strong set of Q1 2026 earnings, beating expectations on revenue. However, the bigger story isn’t financial performance; it’s a noticeable drop in users across its platforms, signalling a potential shift in growth dynamics.

Not exactly a new app, but we bet you have never heard of this one before. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has introduced a new digital tool designed to help users better understand and improve their internet experience. Called MCMC Nexus, the app allows consumers to test internet speed and monitor network performance in real time across different locations in Malaysia.

Today, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has instructed telecommunications providers nationwide to closely monitor network performance during the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri period.

From refreshing the new MacBook lineup, Apple introduced its most advanced professional-grade silicon yet with the Apple M5 Pro and Apple M5 Max chips, designed to supercharge demanding workflows on the latest MacBook Pro models. Built on a new Fusion Architecture, the chips deliver significant boosts in CPU, GPU, and on-device AI performance while maintaining energy efficiency.

While it sounds hard to believe, it is apparently consistent across multiple industry sources familiar with the matter. OpenAI has grown increasingly dissatisfied with the performance of certain NVIDIA artificial intelligence chips used for inference, the stage where models generate responses. This unease has pushed the San Francisco–based AI leader to quietly explore alternative hardware options since 2025, potentially reshaping its long-term computing roadmap and impacting its relationship with NVIDIA.

Qualcomm Technologies has officially unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Mobile Platform, positioning it as the company’s latest premium-tier chipset for next-generation flagship smartphones. The new platform expands Qualcomm’s high-end lineup by offering another top-tier option for manufacturers and a broader range of premium choices for consumers.

It has been a while since we got a report from Opensignal about Malaysia's Mobile Network Experience performance. According to the latest Opensignal Global Network Excellence Index, Malaysia’s mobile network experience slipped two spots, from 36th to 38th globally. Despite the drop, Malaysia still ranks in the top 10 across the Asia?Pacific region.

In addition to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 news, Qualcomm has also expanded its PC processor portfolio with two new entries: the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme and Snapdragon X2 Elite. These chips are engineered for the future of Windows on ARM, aiming to deliver class-leading performance, energy efficiency, and connectivity for ultrathin laptops and always-on devices.

Qualcomm has officially introduced its latest flagship mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, touting it as the world’s fastest mobile System-on-Chip (SoC). With breakthroughs in performance, AI, graphics, and efficiency, Qualcomm positions this new chip as a leap forward in delivering next-generation mobile experiences.

Between January and July 2025, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) uncovered 1684 cases of non-compliance with service quality standards across 815 locations nationwide. These findings were revealed in Parliament by Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching, highlighting ongoing challenges in telco performance and coverage.
