However, the folks at Dell aren't content with the status-quo, and have launched a completely redesigned XPS 13 that delivers all of the performance that we've come to expect within a...Read more...
In case you've been living under a rock, then you know that Intel has a new family of desktop processors on the way developed under the codename Comet Lake. These Comet Lake-S processors are still built on 14nm process tech (which has been refined again, and again) and will use the new LGA-1200 socket, which will...Read more...
Only a few days remain in the calendar year, with 2020 looming just around the corner. It's exciting because 2020 figures to be a big year in tech—new graphics cards, new game consoles (at the end of the year), more advancements in VR, and of course new CPUs. As to the latter, Intel will be rolling out its 10th...Read more...
Intel is still not ready to provide specific details about its discrete GPUs that are bound for 2020 (which is now just around the corner), though in the absence of official information, the number of leaks is starting to pile up. The latest one comes from a European Economic Community (EEC) listing that seemingly...Read more...
Intel released two families of 10th generation mobile processors over the summer: Comet Lake and Ice Lake. Of the two, Ice Lake garnered the most attention as these processors are based on Intel's long-delayed 10nm+ process tech and feature an all-new graphics core.
The chip giant is on track to release another...Read more...
Forget about the water in Silicon Valley, it is the eggnog that is likely to be spiked this time of year, as Intel alludes to in response to a video of its chief community advocate Chris Pirillo belting out a modified version of Winter Wonderland. Or maybe Pirillo is genuinely overjoyed with the progress with Intel is...Read more...
Intel is adding to its expanding graphics team with the hiring of Masooma Bhaiwala, a former chip executive at AMD who joins the company as it moves closer towards its goal of releasing its first modern discrete GPU. That will happen sometime next year, with Intel ultimately targeting multiple different product...Read more...
Intel must be getting somewhat close to launching its next-gen Tiger Lake CPU architecture and product lineup, because the leaks keep rolling in at a sometimes frenetic pace. Just last month, for example, benchmark entries for Tiger Lake-Y processors sporting Xe graphics were spotted in both Geekbench 5 and SiSoftware...Read more...
Intel is banking heavily on the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) as a growing revenue stream in the years to come. Intel booked $3.5 billion in AI-related revenue during 2019 -- which represented a significant 20 percent year-over-year increase -- so it stands to reason that the company is looking to keep that...Read more...
Silicon Valley is full of drama and intrigue, and in this latest episode of the real thing (as opposed to the awesome HBO comedy series that recently aired its finale), Intel finds itself fending off reports of further 10-nanometer chip production delays. Looking to set the record straight, Intel says in no uncertain...Read more...
Intel continues to lure high-level talent from other heavy hitters in the technology industry.
