Microprocessors are the most complex things humans have ever constructed. In any complex system, radically changing one part of a system always has knock-on effects for other parts of the system. To combat this, you can try to de-couple interconnected parts of the system, and that's been a popular idea in...

You might recall that back in March of last year, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang remarked that "[Intel] is interested in [NVIDIA] using its foundries, and we're very interested in exploring it." Then, almost exactly a year later this past March, Huang made remarks that some outlets took to mean that NVIDIA would definitely...

If you read that headline and thought, "what the heck is a Core Ultra," you haven't been keeping up with your rumors, dear reader. Indeed, Intel seems to be readying a branding shift away from "Core i" and toward "Core Ultra," at least for its Meteor Lake mobile parts.
So this latest leak is for a Core Ultra 7...

So we've got a new Radeon graphics card at $279, and it's not bad. There's also a new GeForce card at $399, and it's not bad either. The new GPUs don't really compete with each other given the price difference. Given that, then we suppose that if you want a new GPU under $300, grab the Radeon card, and if you've got more dosh, snag the GeForce.

The International Supercomputing Conference, now known simply as ISC, starts today and runs through Thursday in Hamburg, Germany. All the big players are in attendance, but perhaps none are bigger than Intel. The company came full force at ISC last year, announcing piles of new products and grand plans for them. It...

There is quite a bit of intrigue surrounding Intel's CPU roadmap, in large part because of back and forth rumors regarding the chip maker's plan to release or not release a desktop variant of Meteor Lake. Clarity will come in time. Either way, we know that Arrow Lake also figures into Intel's future chip plans, and a...

Welcome back, friends, to the show that never ends. That's right: it's dubious hardware leak time, and our subjects today are a pair of what appear to be Intel Meteor Lake CPUs that have popped up in the SiSoft SANDRA result database. We say "appear to be" because the processors have, as usual, been marked out with...

Would you believe that you can take a relatively-modern Intel or AMD computer and install regular old MS-DOS on it? Well, you can (depending somewhat on the machine). Doing so will utterly waste the potential of such a system, but all of the legacy support structures are still in place to make such a thing feasible...

You remember the NUC 8 Rugged? If you do, that's probably because you deployed them for your job or hobby. Rugged NUCs are exactly what they sound like: tiny Intel mini-PCs that have been ruggedized for industrial and commercial use. If you pay any attention to NUC numbering, you'll already have deduced that the last...

It's one of the most basic axioms of building a PC: make sure you have enough CPU for your GPU. That goes both ways, though; if you're building a gaming PC, there's no point spending out hundreds of dollars for a high-end CPU when you're going to slap a mid-range or mediocre GPU into it. This rings true even more now...

Yes, you read that headline correctly, and no, it's not an error. Six-hundred-watt CPUs are on the way, at least according to a leaked slide supposedly from Gigabyte. Put down the albuterol inhaler, though; we're not talking about a 600W CPU in your desktop PC—at least, not unless you regularly run top-end server...

If there were a massive security flaw affecting all current Intel processors, you'd want to know about it, right? We'd like to know too, but unfortunately mum's the word from Intel on the reason for a recent microcode update for almost all of its processors going back to 2017.
The update came out on Friday, which...

In just one quarter of sales, AMD has gone from being within striking distance of claiming a third of the overall x86 CPU market to exceeding it. As it has done for years, and more earnestly since the introduction of Zen, AMD continues to chip away at rival Intel and its huge market share lead. What was once a...

Meteor Lake is the codename for Intel's first "disaggregated" processors made from discrete tiles rather than as monolithic pieces of silicon. They're expected to be fairly low-power and relatively modest in terms of specifications, at least compared to the current power-thirsty Raptor Lake CPUs.
Leaks have shown...

Lenovo just revealed its next generation of ThinkStation and ThinkPad workstations to "push the limits of creative productivity." These systems have been updated with Intel’s latest processors and support NVIDIA’s professional RTX graphics cards. They're also designed to support Windows 11 (obviously), but several...

By now, loyal HotHardware readers are surely familiar with the AV1 codec. After all, hardware companies like Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA have all done their share to promote use of the codec, which is supported by the latest graphics processors from all three companies. The problem was that the biggest beneficiaries of a...

The game itself may not be that popular—with a 24-hour peak user count of 67—but the Ashes of the Singularity benchmark database continues to be a fertile breeding ground for hardware leaks. The latest leak to pop out of that place is for an Intel Core Ultra 5 1003H CPU. Say what?
Yes, indeed—look for yourself in...

For the second time in about a four-week span, you can score a factory-overclocked Intel Arc A770 graphics card with 16GB of video memory for $60 below its list price. It's one of the best values in gaming GPUs right now, and while the Arc A770 is obviously not in the same league as a GeForce RTX 4090 or Radeon RX...

If you're just joining us, the actual silicon that will comprise Intel's 14th-generation processors has been in question for a while now. Leaked roadmaps have indicated that Intel has both disaggregated Meteor Lake processors on the way, as well as a refresh of its extant Raptor Lake processors. It's been theorized...

The numbers are in for Intel's first quarter of 2023 and, at a glance, they look brutal (again). Intel's Q1 revenue settled at $11.7 billion, which is down 36 percent from the same quarter a year ago. But what really stands out is the staggering 133 percent year-over-year decline in net earnings. That's the largest...

The big day is here. We're of course talking about the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the relatively short-awaited sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Unfortunately, it's release on PC is hampered by performance issues, which thus far have earned it a 'Mostly Negative' rating on Steam. However, EA has...

Intel's 14th-Generation Meteor Lake CPUs are shaping up to be extremely interesting processors. They were already slated to be historic: Intel's first tile-based desktop and mobile processors to make use of all of the company's recently-developed packaging expertise. However, recent leaks have made it clear that...
