Intel's share price is up in after market hours following the announcement of its plans to spin off its Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) into a standalone business, followed by an eventual IPO. The chip maker says the move will give the group the autonomy and flexibility it needs for faster growth and to ultimately...Read more...
Intel's next desktop CPU release is going to be the 14th-gen Raptor Lake Refresh, and likely the last generation of processors in the current line of "Core i" family CPUs. As you could guess from the name, these will be essentially (if not literally) the exact same silicon as we're already using in the 13th-gen CPUs...Read more...
The answer to the question of whether Intel's first disaggregated CPUs would be coming to desktop systems has flip-flopped several times. If you pay attention to leaks and rumors, you're probably tired of hearing about it because it's gone back and forth so often. Well, we got a definitive answer from Intel just a few...Read more...
Ryan Shrout announced he has parted ways with Intel via a post on X. Shrout joined Intel in 2018 as the company's Chief Performance Strategist.
Ryan Shrout is no stranger to tweeting about his departures from previous jobs. He revealed his departure from PC Perspective, of which he was the founder, on Twitter. And...Read more...
Intel's next generation of desktop processors is almost assuredly going to be a refresh of its extant Raptor Lake silicon. We say "almost" because Intel hasn't officially announced anything of the sort, but given all of the leaks up to this point, it is all but a forgone conclusion.
According to those same leaks...Read more...
For the record, Intel has never once said that its Meteor Lake architecture will be exclusive to laptops. However, it has now gone on record stating the exact opposite, confirming in no uncertain terms that its 14th Gen Core processors will indeed launch in desktop form after breaking ground with its mobile chip lineup. Fear not, this isn't Read more...
Dave, Marco, and Chris will be joined by Intel's Dan Rogers and Robert Hallock on this week's episode of our Two And A Half Geeks livestream to talk Meteor Lake and other happenings from Intel Innovation!
Intel unveiled its forthcoming tile-based Meteor Lake processor architecture at its Innovation 2023 event this...Read more...
We're in the second day of Intel's Innovation '23 event, and our man Dave is on the scene. Intel held a Q&A session today where members of the tech press were allowed to fling questions at CEO Pat Gelsinger. There was some interesting discussion in the Q&A, but arguably the most interesting question to our audience...Read more...
HotHardware's own Dave Altavilla is on location at Intel's Innovation '23 event, and that means he's getting to check out all the latest and upcoming hardware from the blue team first hand. Fortunately, that means you get to check it out, too, because we've captured some videos of the demos on the show floor. We've...Read more...
If you read that headline and aren't suitably impressed, let us elaborate. Intel's next launch, looming on the horizon, will be the company's first chiplet-based (or tile-based) processors, codenamed Meteor Lake. Those chips are coming along with an extensive re-branding effort, at least for Intel's mobile...Read more...
Intel’s Meteor Lake architecture for mobile PCs will be arriving soon and to say that Meteor Lake is the most important shift in Intel’s design and manufacturing approach could be an understatement. In fact, Intel has called Meteor Lake the largest architecture shift in the last 40 years, and it will...Read more...
No matter what, it's clear at this point that the way forward for the semiconductor industry is chiplets, or "tiles" in Intel nomenclature. Piling multiple pieces of a processor onto one package brings a lot of challenges, though. One of those is the assembly of the chiplet package itself. Typically, manufacturers use...Read more...
Work continues apace on Intel's Arc graphics drivers, but things have gotten to a pretty good state already. The heavily AMD-optimized Starfield notwithstanding, recent games like Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon and Baldur's Gate 3 both worked just fine on launch day, and most other applications we have tested on an...Read more...
A retailer in Canada has posted listings for Intel's not-yet-released 14th Gen Core 'Raptor Lake Refresh' processors, which are a refresh of its 13th Gen 'Raptor Lake' CPUs. There's not a whole lot out there in terms of official details, but unofficially, the crop of retail listings hint at what pricing will look like...Read more...
Intel has announced a new version of Thunderbolt connectivity that offers substantially greater performance and capability compared to the previous generation. Known as Thunderbolt 5, the new I/O standard offers transfer rates of up to a whopping 120Gbps of throughput, triple that of previous generation Thunderbolt 4...Read more...
It's been a couple months since Intel announced it was halting investments into its popular NUC business while simultaneously hammering out a non-exclusive license agreement with ASUS to manufacture, sell, and support current and future NUC devices. Be that as it may, a new (sort of) NUC device has launched in Europe...Read more...
Intel continues to make headway on improving performance and fixing various bugs in Starfield for players who are running the game on an Arc graphics card. The latest salve comes in the form of an eyebrow-raising Arc GPU driver release. We mean that quite literally—according to the release notes, Intel's 31.0.101.4676...Read more...
Intel is hard at work executing on its IDM 2.0 strategy, with a stated goal to deliver five process node advancements in four years. The company recently brought us and other members of the tech press out to its facilities in Malaysia to see its progress first-hand. Intel has several factories in Penang and Kulim...Read more...
It could be another couple of weeks before Intel formally introduces its 14th Gen Core desktop processors, otherwise known as Raptor Lake-S Refresh. In the meantime, more leaks are piling up. The newest one is a small set of single-core and multi-core benchmark runs in Geekbench 6 for the Core i9-14900K, which is set...Read more...
A redditor has posted some images and screenshots from a PC system they thought was packing one of Intel's newest flagship processors. However, there is a jarring disconnect between the CPU photos and screenshots from PC sysinfo software tools. The redditor says they bought an Intel Core i9-13900K, but the firmest...Read more...
It's not really a secret that Intel is planning to trot out a lineup of 14th Gen Core desktop processors under the Raptor Lake-S Refresh banner. There have been multiple leaks and rumors dating back to last year, including ones from Intel's hardware partners. The latest leak, however, is another one centered on the...Read more...
Some workloads are a single tangled-up thread with various data types and crunchy compute; for these, our modern CPU cores are perfectly-suited. Other workloads (like, say, graphics) are giant piles of a single data type that can be chomped through in big parallel bites; this kind of thing is exactly what our modern...Read more...
