This week in Tom's Hardware Premium: November 7, 2026 — Micron roadmap, Apple's touchscreen ambitions, GlobalFoundries interview, and much more
This week on Tom's Hardware Premium, we've published in-depth interviews, roadmaps, and features you won't want to miss.
This week's Tom's Hardware Premium features an examination of Apple's planned OLED PROLED display with touch capabilities for 2026. Laptop expert Andrew Freedman explores why Apple has chosen this time to introduce the new touchscreen functionality. Meanwhile, Micron has released its new product roadmap, detailing advancements in DRAM devices, 3D NAND, high-NA EUV lithography tools, and custom silicon.
Micron's 1δ DRAM will be manufactured domestically, and its 11th-Gen NAND boasts over 400 layers. GlobalFoundries has unveiled its FDX Fusion technology, which delivers 7nm-class performance using planar transistors, bypassing the need for EUV tools. The company aims to manufacture this technology in high volumes by 2030. Meanwhile, Intel's upcoming Nova Lake platform will require new motherboards and chipsets, with a new socket and a range of features.
Marvell is set to acquire optics company Lumentum in a $115 billion all-stock deal, consolidating its position in the optical market. A critical PHP vulnerability has been discovered, with a small team of maintainers having been aware of the issue for two years prior to its public disclosure. Google's new Gemini 4 Carbon AI model has been benchmarked as one of the most capable frontier AI models, also showing promise in minimizing hallucinations.
Lastly, Nagare Labs, backed by Pat Gelsinger, has introduced Z2RAM, a new memory type that combines SRAM speed with DRAM density, potentially emerging as an alternative to High Bandwidth Flash (HBF).
