OnePlus could challenge Lenovo with this rumored gaming tablet
TL;DR A Weibo tipster claims OnePlus is testing a compact gaming tablet with a 3K, 165Hz display.
The device is said to have an 8.x-inch screen and a 'geeky and simple' design.
The rumored tablet would follow the recently released Pad 3 and the upcoming Pad Lite.
OnePlus has been pushing hard into the tablet space this year, and we might be about to see the manufacturer expand those ambitions. If the rumors prove accurate, a OnePlus compact gaming tablet may be on the way.
According to reliable tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo (h/t NotebookCheck), the company is currently testing a new gaming tablet with an 8.x-inch display, 3K resolution, and a 165Hz refresh rate. The design is described as 'geeky and simple,' hinting at a stripped-down, no-frills look that prioritizes performance over flash.
The leak didn't mention a name or release timeline, but the compact screen size and high refresh rate point to a device aimed at on-the-go gaming. This could potentially be a rival to products like the Lenovo Legion Y700 or RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro, both of which target similar use cases.
OnePlus is fast establishing itself as one of the leading players to watch in the tablet market. The company's recently launched OnePlus Pad 3 earned high praise in our recent review, offering elite performance, a vibrant 144Hz display, and battery life to match. But that slate features a large 13.2-inch screen and is positioned more as a productivity and entertainment workhorse. A smaller, faster tablet would help round out the lineup with a more dedicated gaming focus.
OnePlus is already set to unveil five devices at its Summer Launch event on July 8, including a budget-friendly Pad Lite. However, this rumored gaming tablet is not among them and is said to still be in testing, so we'll keep an eye out for more details later in the year.

Why Intel Growth Story May Be Hitting a Wall
June 26 - Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) could be heading into tougher terrain as geopolitical tensions and new export rules weigh heavily on the chipmaker's China-reliant business. While the company continues to promote its AI and foundry ambitions under new CEO Lip-Bu Tan, its fundamental outlook remains fragile amid a shifting regulatory landscape. Taiwan's recent move to include Huawei and SMIC on its Strategic High-Tech Commodities Entity List marks another potential blow. The change effectively blocks the export of semiconductor products to firms without a special license, disrupting Intel's access to Huawei, a key PC customer in China. Huawei's MateBook lineup, powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, saw growing momentum in 2024, but future deliveries may now face delays or compliance hurdles. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with INTC. Intel's dependence on China, where it derived about 29% of its 2024 revenue, primarily through its Client Computing Group (NASDAQ:CCG), exposes it to tightening U.S. and allied export controls. The CCG unit, which accounted for more than 60% of Intel's consolidated sales in Q1, remains a core earnings driver. But any shift in trade policy that restricts sales of mainstream PC chips, even indirectly, could weigh on results. The chip maker is also dealing with wider execution issues. Its combativeness into AI servers through the Gaudi platform lags behind the shark competitor Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), and the enhanced suspension of Falcon Shores chips highlights execution remnants. Meanwhile, the capital requirements of Intel Foundry are high, and it is not completely clear how the solution will be adopted by external customers long-term. The action by Taiwan in July which evoked this move was an attempt to restrict its exports as part of the U.S attempt to restrict the Chinese access to advanced technologies. All these developments echo previous shocks, including the mid-2024 cancellation of Intel export licenses to Huawei that resulted in 30% plunges when its stock failed to meet results in China. There is relatively no response in the market yet, as Intel shares remained around $20 in spite of such accumulating risks. But analysts caution that this complacency will not be sustained. Having weak underlying principles, poor performance of its AI roadmap, and growing headwinds within the regulatory environment, the Intel stock might be subjected to the continuation of its decline.

Analyst reboots Amazon stock price target on AI growth
Analyst reboots Amazon stock price target on AI growth originally appeared on TheStreet. Goodness, what's a motherboard to do? Artificial intelligence continues to make its presence felt in just about everything humans do, from setting up appointments and planning itineraries to suggesting what music to listen to and what movies to watch. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰 On the business side, AI is being increasingly integrated into such diverse sectors as healthcare, cybersecurity, finance, retail, and manufacturing. It takes a lot of hardware to run all this stuff, and that can put pressure on companies that make semiconductors, motherboards, and other vital components. The Covid-19 pandemic was a key factor in the 2020-2023 global chip shortage, disrupting supply chains and logistics, while a 13% increase in global demand for PCs sparked by a sudden shift to working from home added to demand. In addition, the U.S. Department of Commerce in September 2020 imposed restrictions on, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp., which made it harder for China's largest chip maker to sell to companies with American ties. But by January 2023, Peter Voser, chairman of the chairman of Swedish-Swiss tech and engineering giant ABB told CNBC that the global semiconductor shortage was 'being sorted out.' Well, yes and no. "Semiconductor supply chains worked well in 2024, even as the industry grew by almost 20%," Deloitte said in its 2025 Global Semiconductor Industry Outlook. "At this time, there's no reason to believe 2025 supply chains will be less resilient, but as always, the risk is there." The study said, "the industry may be more vulnerable to supply chain disruptions than ever before", given how important generative AI chips are expected to be this year and beyond, and the relatively higher concentration of processor, memory, and packaging required for cutting-edge chips, "Although the industry is likely to become less concentrated geographically thanks to various chips acts—and initiatives like onshoring, reshoring, nearshoring, and friendshoring are all still in their early days—the industry remains highly vulnerable for the next year or two, at least," Deloitte said. Onshoring and reshoring involves bringing production back to a company's home country, while nearshoring relocates operations to a nearby country and friendshoring relocates production to countries that are considered allies. Deloitte added that the chip industry "can be notoriously cyclical." "The industry has flipped from growth to shrinkage nine times in the last 34 years," the firm said. "So, it may seem that the industry is seeing less extreme growth or shrinkage in the last 14 years, compared to 1990 to 2010, but the frequency of contractions seems to have increased." Amazon () CEO Andy Jassy addressed the issue in May during the e-commerce and entertainment giant's first-quarter earnings call. "Our AI business right now is a multi billion dollar annual run rate business," he said. "It's growing triple digit percentages year over year. And as fast as we actually put the capacity in, it's being consumed.""I think we could be helping more customers and driving more revenue for the business if we had more capacity," he added. Jassy said that "there are other parts of the supply chain that that are a little bit jammed up as well, motherboards and some other componentry." "But some of that is just because there is so much demand right now," he said. "But I do believe that the supply chain issues and the capacity issues will continue to get better as the year proceeds." Bernstein raised the firm's price target on Amazon on July 1 to $235 from $230 and kept an outperform rating on the shares. The firm noted that the growth of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company's cloud computing platform, decelerated sequentially in Q1 to +17% year-over-year, while AI contribution continues to grow triple digits year-over-year from a relatively smaller base compared with Azure, Microsoft's () cloud-computing platform. Similar to their cloud service provider peers, Amazon remains supply constrained on not only chips, but also motherboards and other components, which has put a near-term cap on topline growth despite strong demand indications. The firm noted Jassy's comments about improving capacity throughout the year. Microsoft suffered a setback when its next-generation Maia AI chip, codenamed "Braga," which was originally planned for mass production in 2025, has been delayed until at least 2026. When the Braga chip goes into production, it is expected to fall well short of the performance of Nvidia's () Blackwell chip, Reuters reboots Amazon stock price target on AI growth first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 1, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 1, 2025, where it first appeared.
