Tick headlines for Tuesday, May 20, 2025. I'm Rob Dunwood. Intel is considering selling its network and edge businesses to refocus on its core and PC data center chip markets. This potential move follows discussions with third parties and investment bankers, but no formal process has been started. The divestiture is driven by the businesses being perceived as non core, especially given Broadcom's networking presence. While partnership or stake sales were considered early stage discussions leave other options open. This follows Intel's recent sale of a majority stake in Altera for $4.46 billion as a part of a broader revival effort amid datacenter and PC market share challenges. Microsoft has open sourced its Windows subsystem for Linux after a multi year effort making the code available on GitHub for community contrib. This move along standing requests from developers allows them to participate in fixes and add new features, potentially improving WSL's performance and integration with Linux services. Initially launched nearly nine years ago for Windows 10, WSL has evolved significantly, including the separation of its code base from Windows and the eventual transition to a separate package in the latest Windows 11 update. Microsoft views this open sourcing as a major milestone towards making Windows a more developer friendly platform. A federal judge has demanded that Apple either approve Fortnite's return to the US App Store or provide a legal justification for its continued refusal. This demand follows a new motion from Epic Games and a previous ruling where Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers accused Apple of circumventing court orders and misleading the court. The judge expressed her frustration, stating Apple is capable of resolving this issue and suggesting potential contempt charges for non compliance. Apple had stated it would wait until the 9th Circuit ruling on its request for a partial stay of the injunction before acting or on Fortnite's resubmission. Despite the court's earlier decision that Apple was in willful violation of anti competitive pricing and commissions, a decision that should have allowed Fortnite's return, Apple has approved a new update for the Spotify iOS app, enabling US users to view audiobook pricing and make purchases directly within the app. This update also allows Spotify Premium users to buy additional audiobook listening hours beyond their included 15 hours per month. Spotify highlighted that this change resulting from the court decision reduces barriers for audiobook listeners and provides publishers and authors with seamless access to new audiences. Spotify believes this development helps to level the playing field by allowing all developers to offer pricing information and easy purchasing links for digital goods and services on iPhones without unnecessary steps for extra Apple Levy taxes. Google launched its Notebook LM applications for Android and iOS on Monday, ahead of its anticipated rollout schedule and the Google I O 2025 event. Previously exclusive to desktop users since its 2023 debut. This AI powered note taking and research offers mobile accessibility, allowing users to leverage features such as smart summaries and question and answering based on uploaded documents. The mobile apps include audio overviews, AI generated podcasts with background playback and offline support, the ability to create and manage notebooks and easy integration of content from websites, PDFs and YouTube videos. Additionally, the apps feature light and dark modes that adapt to device settings, and the timing of the launch suggests Google may provide further details during the upcoming I o keynote Bloomberg reported that Nintendo has contracted Samsung to manufacture the Nvidia designed custom 8nm processor for the upcoming Switch 2, a change from the original Switch's TSMC chip. Neither company nor Nvidia commented this processor production would be a significant win for Samsung, potentially enabling Nintendo to ship over 20 million units by March 2026. Nvidia optimized the chipset for Samsung, allowing Nintendo to avoid competition for TSMC resources Nintendo anticipates no component shortages and projects 15 million switch2 sales in its first year below analysts estimates of 16.8 million likely due to tariffs despite 2.2 million pre order applications in Japan, Bluesky is testing a new feature that allows select users to link their Twitch or YouTube accounts, displaying a live badge on their profiles when you're streaming to direct users off platform. This early stage test, described as supporting streamers, journalists and live event shares, follows a similar display for the NBA's official account. This move by the ad free platform suggests a desire to play a larger role in real time updates and become a destination for following live events, potentially tapping into the influence sports fans have had on platforms like X. Despite unclear immediate business benefits, Microsoft is integrating AI actions into the Windows 11 File Explorer, allowing users to right click files for quick access to AI features like Image Background, Blurring, Object Erasure and Office File Summarization. Initially tested for images with features like Bing Visual Search and tools for the photos and Paint apps, similar AI actions are planned for Office files, limited initially to Microsoft 365 commercial subscribers with Copilot. These additions join an existing Ask Copilot option in the File Explorer's right click menu. Alongside these changes, Microsoft is also testing visual updates to the Windows 11 widgets board with a more personalized feed featuring Copilot curated stories and a new User Interaction Aware CPU power management feature to reduce power consumption on inactive laptops and tablets. And finally, Qualcomm has confirmed Its Snapdragon Summit 2025 will be held in Maui, Hawaii on September 23rd. 25, moving the unveiling of its next flagship chip, anticipated as the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or Elite Gen 2, to an earlier time frame than its typical October schedule. The successor of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, found in devices like the Galaxy S25 series, is expected to feature TSMC's 3nm N3P process, second generation custom Orion cores, and the Adreno 840 HP. While it's uncertain if the upcoming Galaxy S26 will utilize this Snapdragon chip, with possibilities of an Exynos inclusion or a split base on region. A special for Galaxy variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2, potentially built on Samsung's 2 nanometer process, might not be ready for the next Galaxy S lineup.
