While not exactly a stunning turn of events, Samsung is no longer the word's top semiconductor vendor, as ranked by revenue. That distinction now belongs to Intel, which regained the crown at the end of 2023 after settling for second place for the previous two years—Intel raked in $48.7 billion in semiconductor...

We met up with Tom "TAP" Petersen at CES 2024, but schedules didn't line up and we didn't have time to sit down with him for a chat. However, PC World did, and the man delivered on some pretty interesting interview topics. Chief among them was the new MSI Claw handheld, of course, but he had more interesting comments...

It was right around this time last year when Intel trotted out its 13th Gen Core i9-13900KS at the Consumer Electronics Show, which it called a "milestone moment for the PC industry." That's because it was the first CPU to ship with a 6GHz clock speed out of the box (via Thermal Velocity Boost). Will we see a 14th Gen...

Ask anyone in the chip industry, and you'll probably get a similar answer: chiplet-based CPU designs are the way of the future for high-performance, advanced processors, and it's fairly likely that most highly-integrated CPU architectures will be headed that way eventually. Intel obviously agrees, as the company has...
