Should Taxpayers Provide Billions to Support Struggling Intel?

Just days after the Biden administration awarded Intel the largest grant under the CHIPS and Science Act, the company's long-time CEO stepped down. This has raised concerns, as experts worry about the government giving so much taxpayer money to a company struggling financially.Scott Lincicome, from the Cato Institute, expressed concern about the situation, especially because Intel received nearly $8 billion in grants from the Commerce Department, following a $3 billion defense contract in September. With CEO Pat Gelsinger stepping down due to mismanagement, Lincicome sees red flags, suggesting that the government might be treating Intel as "Too Big to Fail," potentially leading to more government support and bad decisions down the line.Lincicome worries that thi...

AMD’s Ryzen 9000X3D Chips May Not Deliver a Significant Performance Boost

An accidental reveal has shed light on AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D desktop processors, which were previously unannounced. However, much like Intel’s new Arrow Lake desktop CPUs, early indications suggest that these chips might not deliver a substantial performance upgrade compared to their predecessors. This is particularly disappointing given the lukewarm reception the original Ryzen 9000 series received when it launched.According to slides from an MSI presentation, which were shared by HardwareLuxx and reported by VideoCardz, the new Ryzen 9000X3D processors may show decent improvements in multicore performance.

Top Software Development Companies in Germany (2026)

Updated 24 July 2026. Start with the number that matters most, because it is the one nobody puts in a proposal. A software project quoted at 160,000 euros typically invoices at 220,000 to 260,000. That is a 30 to 60 percent gap, and it comes from integrations, QA and post-launch support that sat outside the original scope. Then annual maintenance adds another 15 to 25 percent of the build cost, every year, and that is rarely in the first quote either. None of that is German agencies behaving badly. It is how fixed-scope software estimating works everywhere. But in a market with Europe's highest development rates, that gap is expensive in absolute terms. So this guide covers what German development really costs, why rates are what they are, and the hybrid structure most Mittelstand firms ha...
