Meteor Lake, the first-generation "Core Ultra" processors, will be Intel's first "disaggregated" or chiplet-based CPUs. The launch of these important chips is less than a month away, and Intel is continuing to drip-feed details to the press and the public. The latest news comes from a video posted to the "Intel...

Everyone loves an underdog, especially when the very premise is wrapped up in a paradox of sorts. Intel has been one of the largest technology companies for decades, having pioneered much of what we take for granted today with PC processors. However, Intel's entry into the PC graphics card market has put it in a...

Intel's first-generation chiplet processors, code-named Meteor Lake, will include an entire chiplet (or "tile") dedicated to graphics. Intel has made some big promises about the graphics horsepower of its Meteor Lake processors. Today we've seen the first GPU benchmark of any kind for Meteor Lake, and the results are...

With its "Alder Lake" 12th-generation Core CPUs, Intel introduced the concept of the "P-series" processors. These 28W chips sit between the ultra-low-voltage "U" CPUs and the full-power mobile "H" units. Naturally, we'd expect its upcoming Meteor Lake CPUs to continue with this sort of segmentation, but it looks like...

Although Intel and Argonne National Laboratory declared the Aurora supercomputer to be finally complete earlier this year, apparently it's not fully up and running just yet. It's only running with half of its 21,248 Xeon Max Sapphire Rapids CPUs and 63,744 Ponte Vecchio GPUs, which allowed it to snag second place in...

We tested Intel's Application Performance Optimizer last week and came away with a tentatively-positive opinion. The technology helps games leverage the hybrid architecture of Intel's CPUs more effectively, improving performance when CPU-limited, and it seems to really work. However, it's currently limited to the...

At last week's Intel Innovation Taipei 2023 Technology Forum, CEO Pat Gelsinger revealed the company's goal to ship at least 100 million NPU-enabled PCs with on-device AI acceleration by 2025. Gelsinger, which has lead Intel since early 2021, has overseen a radical transformation of Intel's business, and AI is one of...

Intel's flagship consumer processor for the desktop is the recently minted 14th Gen Core i9-14900K (Raptor Lake Refresh), but perhaps not for long. It turns out that Intel might be prepping an even faster-clocked "KS" variant, just as it had done with the previous generation Core i9-13900KS. That's assuming a handful...

The Core i9-14900K and Core i9-13900KS are essentially the same CPU, featuring practically identical stock frequencies, but for overclocking it wasn't clear which one would be better. For such highly clocked CPUs, binning is the deciding factor, and although the 14900K is newer, it doesn't have that special -KS suffix...

AMD continues to chip away at Intel's dominant lead in x86 CPU market share with a round of gains across the board, including desktop PCs, laptops, and servers, according to the latest audit performed by Mercury Research and shared by AMD. The updated figures cap off an impressive year for AMD, which looks to end 2023...

Bolt on your metal armor and pull out your automatic Beretta, because Robocop: Rogue City releases today. This new title from the developers of sleeper hit Terminator: Resistance has had almost no marketing, yet its extremely faithful adaptation of the film and Unreal Engine 5-powered graphics managed to garner the...

Back at Innovation '23, Intel announced that its Meteor Lake processors would be officially-launched on December 14th. Despite the fact that they haven't made their debut, Intel's first disaggregated CPUs have already appeared in a few places, including a handheld from Hong Kong as well as in some Lenovo laptops being...

Another day, and another leaked Meteor Lake benchmark has appeared. This time, the data comes from a Geekbench 5 listing featuring the upcoming Core Ultra 185H CPU with 16 cores and 22 Threads. Though, unlike previous benchmarking reports of this chip, this time it put upf some impressive numbers, achieving similar...

It's only a matter of time before Intel introduces 14th Gen Core Raptor Lake Refresh processors for mobile (laptops) just it recently did on the desktop. We must be getting close, too, considering the leaked benchmark runs that are now popping up. The most recent one points to an upcoming ASUS ROG Strix Scar 16 gaming...

In a recent demo, Intel showed off its upcoming Meteor Lake CPU running Dying Light 2 on the chip's integrated Xe graphics. This demo compared how the game ran on the processor at a native 1080p resolution versus running the game at 720p with XeSS upscaling it to 1080p. Although the demo focused on how much higher the...

There has been a lot of talk about Arm encroaching onto x86 territory (more so than it already has), especially on the heels of Qualcomm unveiling its Snapdragon X Elite platform, which is perhaps the biggest threat to x86's dominance to date. Don't tell that Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, though. While addressing Intel's...

The launch of a new CPU can often range from being exciting, to the purely mundane in some cases. When that CPU is accompanied by an entirely new chipset, expectations are raised even further. One important item that sometimes can be overlooked by consumers in the midst of the excitement on release day is the issue...

A highly detailed Meteor Lake benchmark listing has made an appearance in PassMark's database featuring a new CPU called the Core Ultra 7 155H. The listing features unusually-detailed CPU specifications, suggesting that the chip’s specs could be legitimate. Unfortunately, the chip did not perform particularly well in...

In case you're unfamiliar, "delidding" is the process of removing the thick metal plate attached to the top of modern CPUs. This plate is known as the "integrated heat spreader" or "IHS," and it protects the fragile silicon die of the processor from cracking when fumble-fingered users are installing their cooling...

NVIDIA and AMD are being spurred on by Microsoft to develop their own ARM-based CPUs to be used in Windows PCs, according to a report from Reuters. Apple, which is a competitor of all three companies, has seen great success ever since it launched its own custom ARM-based chip, M1, in 2020. Although this move is...
