A couple of days ago, Intel confirmed that the B460 and H410 chipsets do not support the upcoming Rocket Lake-S processors, that is, the owners of such motherboards will have to change the board itself in the event of a CPU change. However, there is an exception. Gigabyte decided to remedy the situation, and in […]

First test results for all-new Intel desktop processors show little improvement over current CPUs
Alder Lake processors, which will be released in the second half of this year, will be Intel’s first heterogeneous desktop solutions. Recall that in the maximum configuration they will contain eight large and eight small cores. This configuration should be sensitive to software optimization, because different kernels are designed for different tasks. So far we […]
Intel accuses former employee of stealing information on Xeon processors
Intel claims to have caught a former employee stealing confidential information related to Xeon processors. Dr. Varun Gupta, who left Intel last year to take over at Microsoft as director of strategic planning for cloud and AI, is said to have brought over 3,900 files with him. The stolen files allegedly contain information on Intel’s […]
If you own a motherboard based on the H410 or B460 chipset, you will not get by with a little blood when you move to the new Intel processors
A month ago, information appeared on the Web that the Intel B460 and H410 chipsets will not support the latest Rocket Lake CPUs. Unfortunately, this turned out to be true – the information was confirmed by Intel itself. A note appeared on the company’s official website stating that the above-mentioned sets of system logic will […]
Intel NUC 11 Performance Mini PCs (Panther Canyon) will not ship to Europe or the US
According to the source, Intel NUC 11 Performance mini PCs on Tiger Lake processors, known by the code name Panther Canyon, will only be available in the Asia region. Buyers in Europe and the United States will not see these computers on display at CES 2021. The reason for the limitation is called the problems […]
Intel is trying to prove its processors are better than the Apple M1 SoC. But the methods are the same as when dealing with a Ryzen CPU
When Ryzen processors began to outperform Intel solutions, first in terms of price-performance ratio, and then on almost all fronts, Intel realized that it was necessary to change the format of its CPU promotion. As a result, the company began to argue that the tests in Cinebench are far from reality, that they need to […]
Intel has created a monster. The Xe-HPC GPU actually contains not 12, but 41 chiplets
Intel recently showed off the Xe-HPC (Ponte Vecchio) graphics processor, which everyone then thought was 12 chiplets. In fact, everyone was wrong. Today Raja Koduri decided to add fuel to the fire by stating that the GPU actually consists of 41 chiplets! In fact, it is not very clear how exactly such a number is […]
The closer Intel’s new desktop processors are released, the better they look in benchmarks. Core i9-11900K sets a Geekbench record
Intel’s Rocket Lake-S processors have not yet come out, but they are already showing what even the company’s not newest architecture is capable of when its hands are untied. The flagship Core i9-11900K set yet another Geekbench 5 record, becoming the first desktop consumer CPU to break 1,900 in single-threaded mode. This is an impressive […]
For its new CPUs, Intel chose AMD’s approach. Photo of the giant Xeon processor shows the presence of four separate crystals
The other day we had the opportunity to estimate the dimensions of the huge Intel Xeon processor. It was the Ice Lake-SP CPU of the Sapphire Rapids platform. Recall that these will be the company’s first 10nm server CPUs, which will also bring support for PCIe 5.0 and DDR5. And now a photo of such […]
Huge Intel Xeon 4th generation processor (Sapphire Rapids) in live photos. With LGA4677-X socket, PCI Express 5.0 and DDR5 support
At the last CES 2021, Intel confirmed the start of production of the 3rd generation Xeon server processors (Ice Lake-SP), and they should go on sale in the current quarter. Meanwhile, the live photo below shows a representative of the Sapphire Rapids family, which should replace Ice Lake-SP. Rumors talked about the release of Sapphire […]
