Mac users on macOS 27 are sharing how to disable Apple Intelligence and reclaim the gigabytes of disk space the feature reserves for its AI models. A community guide has appeared outlining the steps to switch the feature off entirely and remove its locally stored models, drawing wide attention from people frustrated by the storage footprint of on-device AI.

Gigabyte has introduced the W775-V10-L01, a deskside AI workstation built around Nvidia's GB300 platform. A hands-on review by ServeTheHome shows it brings data-center-class AI compute out of the rack and into an office form factor. The launch is drawing attention among developers and researchers who want high-end AI training power without relying on cloud or full server infrastructure.

A Gizmodo writer describes using an open-source utility to fully turn off Apple Intelligence on a Mac, reporting that the tool removed the AI features and freed up several gigabytes of disk space that the system had reserved. The piece walks through how the software blocks Apple's AI components from running or reloading, offering an alternative for users who want the storage back without losing system updates.

Intel and AMD are developing new processor lines that support DDR4 memory, a decade-old standard, in response to relentless price inflation for newer memory modules. Motherboard maker Gigabyte has confirmed work tied to the effort, giving PC builders an option to bypass steep premiums on current-generation memory. The move reverses the industry's long push toward newer standards and is being discussed as a historic shift for desktop computing.

Gigabyte has reportedly told PC Gamer that Intel plans to release new CPUs on an older socket in early 2027, with DDR4 support among the options. The move is being linked to the ongoing memory price crisis, which has made cheaper DDR4 memory attractive again for PC builders. Enthusiasts see it as a possible lifeline for budget systems while DDR5 and RAM costs remain inflated.

Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti 16GB has sold well above its launch price for months, but Newegg is now listing the Gigabyte Windforce version for $1,099, offering a modest break from the inflated pricing. PC hardware watchers are noting the deal as a rare reprieve, though it still sits above the card's $749 suggested price.
