Intel is pushing out a new graphics driver with support for integer scaling, a feature that could come in handy when playing retro video games. Appropriately enough, Intel is calling the feature "Retro Scaling" in its Graphics Command Center utility. This is intended to make classic (read: old) PC games render better...

What appear to be a pair of unreleased Cascade Lake-X (CSL-X) processors have found their way to Geekbench, the popular benchmarking suite and veritable hot spot for CPU leaks. In this case, the leaked entries point to a variant with 18 cores and 36 threads of computing muscle, and a second slice of silicon with 10...

Not long after Microsoft issued a bevy of security updates for its products during Patch Tuesday, Intel is holding its own "patch party" for its hardware and software products. Products affected include Intel's lineup of NUC mini PCs and Compute Sticks along with a few of its software utilities.
On the NUC front...

Last week, we brought you news of an alleged new Xeon-based NUC coming from Intel that is being developed under the codename Quartz Canyon. This would be the first in Intel's long line of NUC small form-factor PCs to feature a Xeon-class processor. Now we're learning of another new NUC in the pipeline, and it's called...

It appears as though Intel is readying a new next unit of computing (NUC) mini PC, this time time with a Xeon processor option. Codenamed "Quartz Canyon," a leaked slide indicates Intel is targeting entry workstation tasks, including content creation, CAD and manufacturing design, financial services, and other similar chores.
Assuming the

A week ago, we were able to give you a quick look at the performance of Intel's new 10th generation Core processors based on the 10nm process node. These processors have been a long time coming, as Intel has been overly reliant on its 14nm process node as it worked to overcome engineering challenges at 10nm.
Now...

You might not have even been aware of this, but last month's Patch Tuesday update for Windows contained a long overdue mitigation for a security flaw in Intel processors. Left upatched, the flaw essentially allows an attacker to bypass fixes that had previously been rolled out to deal with Spectre and Meltdown, the...

Just a few months ago, Intel launched its Cascade Lake line of second-generation Xeon scalable processors. If you are wondering what comes next, Intel answered that today, in part, by laying out what is ahead for its Xeon family. We know that 10-nanometer Xeon chips (based on Ice Lake) are on the horizon, but in the...

We know Intel has assembled a team to build its first modern discrete GPU, which if all goes to plan, will arrive next year. What we do not know, however, is what market segment it will target out of the gate. Raja Koduri, chief architect and senior vice president of Architecture, Software, and Graphics at Intel, may...

The last time that we reported on CPU sales data from German eTailer Mindfactory (which was colorfully compiled by Ingebor), AMD's family of Ryzen 2000 processors was putting a serious hurting on Intel's long-running dominance in the field. AMD's aggressive pricing along with the overall excellent performance of Zen+...

Apple on Thursday announced that it is acquiring Intel's modem chip business for $1 billion, a move that makes sense for both companies—Apple is dead set on developing as much of its iPhone hardware in-house as humanly possible, and Intel has said on numerous occasions that it is now a datacenter company. What is...
