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...

A TechTuber has been testing a system based upon one of NVIDIA’s newest GeForce RTX 40 Ada Lovelace graphics cards available, but driven by one of Intel’s weakest CPUs. The results are surprisingly good, but don’t give the 2C / 4T Pentium too much credit – it looks like NVIDIA’s DLSS 3 saved the day.
Balance is...

Graphics drivers are critically-important to the experience of using a GPU. When Intel's Arc launched with mediocre-to-poor drivers, that was a real complaint. The nice thing about drivers is that they're software, though, and that means it's easy to fix and replace. Intel's been hard at work on doing just that, with...

Graphics processors need a lot of memory bandwidth for good performance. This is why discrete GPUs have hot-clocked GDDR or HBM on massively-wide memory interfaces, but integrated graphics don't have that luxury. Instead, they have to share a relatively-pokey (in terms of bandwidth) main memory interface with the CPU...

Noctua has demonstrated one of its dual fan tower form factor coolers capably soothing a 56-core Intel Xeon W9-3495X as it chews through more than 700W of power. The Austrian firm has one of the best reputations in air cooling CPUs, but this chilling feat will raise eyebrows among the PC enthusiast and liquid cooling...

There's quite a bit of mystery surrounding Intel's CPU roadmap, not the least of which pertains to Meteor Lake and how it will be branded and marketed to the public. As we inch closer to its release, a newly discovered support document may shed some light on both topics, though some notable leakers seem to be at odds...
