It's been less a month since Lip-Bu Tan took over as chief executive officer (CEO) at Intel and he might already be making some major moves. None bigger than a reported chipmaking deal with rival TSMC that would see the two chip behemoths form a joint venture. If true—and Tan did promise to focus on winning through...

It took a minute (and not a New York minute), but Microsoft is taking the leash off of most of its Copilot+ features that were tethered exclusively to Snapdragon X series laptops, and letting them roam free on Copilot+ PCs powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 series and Intel Core Ultra 200V processors. The only exceptions are...

When we reviewed the Intel Arc B580, we remarked at that time that we were hopeful Intel would launch a bigger version of that product. The Arc B580 has solid performance (at least, as long as you pair it with a fast CPU) and reasonable power efficiency, but it's a relatively small GPU and simply can't compete on...

Despite persistent rumors that Intel's discrete GPU ambitions are dead in the water, a new rumor suggests otherwise. According to well-known leaker Raichu, Intel's upcoming third-generation Arc "Celestial" GPU is still in the works and may be built on Intel's own process technology, rather than relying on TSMC. The...

Intel's foray into the modern era of discrete GPUs has mostly focused on mid-range and entry-level solutions, a strategy it employed with its first generation Arc Alchemist architecture and, so far, again with its with second generation Arc Battlemage lineup. We don't see that shifting—NVIDIA has a stranglehold on the...

Whatever your stance on environmental conservation as a whole, you have to agree that generating millions of tons of e-waste due to obsolescent hardware is sub-optimal. There are a lot of reasons to want to reduce this number, both ecological and economical. Intel has an idea to help, and interestingly, it aligns with...

Let's talk about frame generation on integrated graphics for a moment. It's not an entirely novel concept; not only does AMD's FSR3 frame generation work on integrated graphics, but AMD has its driver-based AFMF 2 technology that has a dedicated mode for the integrated GPUs in its products.
With the launch of its...

As we detailed in our Ryzen 7 9800X3D review, AMD's first consumer Zen 5 chip with 3D V-Cache is a beastly slice of silicon that's an ideal choice to build a gaming PC around. The market agrees, as evidenced by the chip frequently being sold out at places like Amazon and Best Buy. In candid remarks shared at the...

It's been a consistent refrain even before the "Arc" branding was announced: "Intel is going to exit the GPU market!" For whatever reason, there are certain people who really don't want Intel to be making GPUs, and anytime there is even the smallest hint of bad news for Intel GPUs, this old line comes up again.
