#BIOS updates

In a move to future-proof their platforms, MSI announced BIOS updates that will enable support for Intel's new 14th generation non-K CPUs on their 600 and 700 series chipset motherboards. Power users will also appreciate per-core overclocking and other utilities in MSI's Click Bios software.  With 14th gen support ensured and competitive specs, MSI's 700 series provides an enticing upgrade option for those seeking increased CPU performance without the cost of a new platform. Qualcomm will no longer announce updates to its Snapdragon G Series gaming chips at the 2026 Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. Despite earlier hints that it would expand its Arm-based push into Windows gaming handhelds, there will be no updates for the Qualcomm Snapdragon G Series in this year's GDC. The company also confirmed it will not provide hands-on access or benchmarks for the recently announced Snapdragon X Series updates during the event. One of the biggest updates is animated profile pictures. These models are no longer eligible for modern iOS updates, making this release especially important for users who still rely on them.
