Charlie, owner of the blog Techtoniks delves into Intel's HEDT roadmap and what their plan is for the future of HEDT processors. He explains how Intel could turn their fortunes around by designating two distinct lineups of chips to compete against AMD's ThreadRipper series and more. It is a...
By now everyone knows the 10nm Cannon Lake processors aren't going to hit the market until late next year. Further, due to these delays at the fab Intel has had trouble grabbing orders and there's speculation they will be scaling down their fabs. Also, in addition to this bad news for Intel...
The Shakti Processor Project is an open source RISC-V processor developed by students in India with assistance from Intel and its 22nm FinFET Technology. The processors are based on the RISC-V ISA from UC Berkley. The current processor clocks at around 400MHz, but this a great sign of things...
A new and very detailed Intel rumor has surfaced from the Hong Kong XFASTEST website as they leak the entire 2018 and 2019 Intel road-map. According to the leak, the i9-9900K, i7-9700K, and i5-9600K will not show up until Q1 2019. They also detail the new chipsets and features. As always take...
AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper 2nd Generation, Intel i7-9600K and Intel i9-9900K benchmark scores were leaked by Lau Kin Lam and they are impressive. In this video posted online at the 56:13 mark, he shows them off for his live stream. Although I can't understand the video, glancing over the Cinebench...
In yesterdays conference call Intel confirmed that Cannon Lake will be out just in time for the 2019 holidays. We already knew they had delayed mass production until 2019, but waiting till the end of next year is huge. As a result Intel is hoping 14nm chips like Whiskey Lake and Amber Lake will...
Remember our coverage of Spectre? Well researchers at the Graz University of Technology have a working model of how to read arbitrary memory over a network called NetSpectre. NetSpectre attacks have been shown to work over LAN and Google Cloud. The computers being attacked do not need to run...
Intel presented their 2Q financial report today and they hit it out of the park. 2Q18 revenue was $17B and that was up 15% YoY. Net income was $5B up 78% YoY. Earnings per share $1.05 up 82% YoY. Their data-centric market provided 49% of the revenue and PC-centric provided the other 51%. Based...
Intel has come up with two new efforts to combat malware. The first is called Accelerated Memory Scanning and it will use the integrated GPU of its CPU's to scan memory for malware. Scanning intensity will be adjusted based upon GPU load and can even be turned off if playing a game. An Intel...
Alright AMD fans, I need some feedback. I can get a 7820x and msi pro carbon x299 for just under 700 at microcenter. I'm doing a rebuild and actually want the fans of AMD to fire off reasoning to go with ryzen with the above pricing.
I'm not a prosumser - work in finance so do use many...
Have you felt like Intel did not give a damn about the enthusiasts PC users for the last five or six years? From lagging IPC to toothpaste TIMs, I think we are seeing a lot expressed here in a single photograph from its 50th anniversary party that is happening as I type this. Given this...

Intel has sent drones to researchers to assist in the preservation of the Great Wall of China; specifically in the Jiankou section. By conducting surveys and taking thousands of high quality images, the drones have been instrumental in helping the preservationists to monitor the current state...
The Google Security Blog has showcased a newly enabled Chrome feature that helps to protect against speculative execution side-channel attacks like Spectre. Site Isolation limits each renderer process to documents from a single site. To put this in context, previously Chrome allowed cross-site...
Intel is buying another Santa Clara chipmaker, eASIC. eASIC builds programmable chips for its customers, something which Intel moved into with its acquisition of Altera Corp in 2015. 120 people from eASIC will join Intel's current programmable solutions group. This purchase should allow Intel...
Intel has adopted a release schedule for new Spectre vulnerability disclosures. According to The Register, starting today new patches will be released quarterly to patch the latest exploits. This is akin to the Windows Patch Tuesday. I never thought that hardware would have a patch release...

In an interesting post on the Intel Developer Zone page, Intel gives high praise to the Vulkan API with many glowing statements. In addition, they give you step by step instructions on how to render objects in parallel using the Vulkan API, with sample code.
I have to wonder if this is a bit of...
As part of its 50 year celebration, Intel has dug up its time capsule from its 35 year celebration. Running tests on some of the unearthed CPUs found that those were only around 6% less in IPC. (I made that up.) They did bury another capsule to be dug up in 25 years, and interestingly, it...

Those sharp-eyed folks over at Tech Report caught an Intel mistake in the latest microcode update documents that possibly revealed some ninth-gen CPUs. If you take a look at the picture you will see five i5 9xxx series models mentioned. However, what you won't see is anything about the mythical...
Calcalist has reviewed some internal Apple communications and it appears that Intel is out of iPhones beginning with the 2020 models. Also, the Intel team working on the next-gen modems have been redirected to other efforts within the company. Further, Intel and Apple aren't responding to...
Back in the early 2000's, Intel was working on a revolutionary CPU and GPU hybrid called Larrabee. Think of a GPU that can use the x86 instruction set. Unfortunately in 2010, it was announced that Larrabee would never make it to the public. Fast forward to November of last year, when [H]ardForum...
Intel rolls out Gordon Moore to tell you the story of Intel in the early days. Interestingly, a lot of folks were getting fired from Intel in the early days for bangin' the secretaries, just like today. I made that up. There is not truth to that at all. Back in the good ole' days, nobody got...
Charlie over at SemiAccurate has somewhat of a story today that is not the usual tell-all that he likes to publish, but is rather a rolling rumor factory. Not that there's anything wrong with discussing rumors. Charlie is billing this as Intel's failed 10nm "crushing as "$20+B market cap tech...
Good ol' Charlie over at SemiAccurate thinks Intel fired (Intel official story is resignation) CEO Brian Krzanich to cover up for deeper problems at the chip making giant. He opines that the 14nm and 10nm problems pushed the board past the breaking point and something had to be done. Also, it...
The folks over at Tech Insights have found the Cannon-Lake 10nm logic process and break down some of the innovation it brings to us. However, they aren't telling us why Intel is having so much trouble scaling their process up and bringing a complete lineup of 10nm processors to market...
Sometimes a picture speaks louder than words and in this case it's true. AMD has a target rich environment when you think about all of the missteps Intel has been guilty of lately. Meltdown/Spectre, 10nm fab failures, CEO dipping his wick where it doesn't belong and the list goes on. You have to...
I have never had the pleasure of overclocking something this old. I started with my 2500k, then 2600k, than 4790k, lastly 7700k. I told my friend I would do what I could, but I am having hard times getting it stable. I will get full specs when I return home so I can get board model number.

The BenchLife website has up today what it is telling us in the Intel Z390 Chipset Block Diagram. However it looks like there will be very few changes for the "new" chipset besides native USB 3.1 Gen 2, and integrated Intel Wireless-AC. It is suggested that the new Z390 chipset will not move...

This is a sad way for a career to end. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has resigned as the CEO and as a member on the company's board. The reason given was his relationship with a former employee of the company. Why can't these dudes keep their stuff where it belongs? Regardless of the reason it's good...
Hey I'd like to buy a small linux box capable of 1080p gaming , the Hades Canyon 8809G caught my eye due to upgradability via tb3 , good noise levels (36 db when gaming ) and pretty good aesthetics , though I'm not sure about the perfomance , data from intel shows that it's on par/beats a 1060...
Tom Forsyth, the father of the Larrabee "GPU," is back at Intel working with Raja Koduri. He explains that he took the job at Intel, but does not know what he will be working on yet. Insider rumors point to him being "Executive Director of What Not to Do This Time." While we are big fans of...
