This week on Tom's Hardware Premium, we've published in-depth interviews, roadmaps, and features that you won't want to miss. To read any of the articles we feature in this weekly roundup, you'll need to first arm yourself with a subscription.
Headlining our coverage this week is our story from Laptop expert Andrew Freedman, in his exploration of how and why Apple has chosen 2026 as the time to release an OLED — excuse me — PROLED display, with touch. After all, touch is a feature that Windows laptops have sported for well over a decade, along with OLED displays, offering unparalleled contrast ratios when compared to any other panel technology. In this feature, he explores the justifications and the likelihood of Apple slowly trickling the "brand-new" functionality to its suite of devices.
Last month, Micron revealed its brand-new product roadmap, featuring new DRAM devices, 3D NAND, the use of high-NA EUV lithography tools, and much more. NAND and DRAM are both incredibly hot topics, due to the ongoing rush to build faster, more capable AI accelerators, with Micron as one of the companies benefiting from the rush in demand. We go into detail about its 1δ DRAM, which is set to be manufactured on American shores. Beyond that, the company has also demonstrated its 11th-Gen NAND, which sports over 400 layers. With the next few years of its technologies explored in unrelenting technical detail, this roadmap details exactly where Micron's upcoming projects are, and where it's going next.
While ASML's EUV lithography machines remain in high demand, the company's latest technology, FDX Fusion, instead relies on tried-and-true DUV.
