MSI has confirmed ‘Rocket Lake-S’ support on their H410 chipset motherboard series

Rocket Lake (RKL) is Intel’s new micro-architecture that will be a direct successor to the Comet Lake-S series of desktop CPUs and high-performance mobile devices. These were expected to hit the market by the end of this year, but the roadmap from Intel paints a different picture.

Intel confirms next-gen ‘Alder Lake-S’ CPUs will use a Hybrid Core/Atom processor architecture

In a recent Linux patch, INTEL has added support for the future next-gen Alder Lake-S series of desktop processors, which are going to succeed the Rocket Lake CPU lineup. This appears to be the first official confirmation from Intel. Continue reading Intel confirms next-gen ‘Alder Lake-S’ CPUs will use a Hybrid Core/Atom processor architecture

Windows 10 OS Process Scheduler can make good use of the ‘hybrid architecture’ of Intel’s Lakefield processors

Intel’s Lakefield processors have been in the market for quite some time. These are industry’s first products with Intel’s Foveros 3D stacking and a hybrid computing architecture. Leveraging Intel’s 10nm process technology and Tremont cores, Lakefield achieves a dramatic reduction in package area over previous generations of technology, offering OEMs more flexibility for thin-and-light form factor PCs while delivering uncompromised Windows 10 experience. Continue reading Windows 10 OS Process Scheduler can make good use of the ‘hybrid architecture’ of Intel’s Lakefield processors

Intel is refreshing some of the 10th Generation Comet Lake-S “Celeron” processors

In a very surprise move it appears that Intel is refreshing and upgrading some of the ‘Celeron’ processors in the Comet Lake 10th gen CPU lineup. The discovery of two new unannounced Comet Lake-S Celeron processors certainly hints that a refresh is coming. Intel has not refreshed any of the Comet lake- S CPUs till now. Continue reading Intel is refreshing some of the 10th Generation Comet Lake-S “Celeron” processors

Intel’s Alder Lake-S iGPU has been spotted in “SiSoftware” database with 32 execution units/EUs

Intel’s next generation of Alder Lake-S Core processors are said to be the company’s first 10nm mainstream desktop processors, and we have already seen documents, datasheets, and release notes for these CPUs which also appeared on Intel’s own developer website. These processors have been confirmed to support a new LGA1700 socket. Continue reading Intel’s Alder Lake-S iGPU has been spotted in “SiSoftware” database with 32 execution units/EUs

Linux creator ‘Linus Torvalds’ speaks about the lack of support of AVX-512 on Intel’s Alder Lake-S CPUs

Just few days ago I explained in one article about the lack of AVX-512 instruction support on Intel’s next-gen Alder Lake-S CPUs. Now, Linux and Git creator Linus Torvalds has commented on this, and shared his own views on the AVX-512 instruction set (Advanced Vector Extensions 512) found on select Intel processors. Continue reading Linux creator ‘Linus Torvalds’ speaks about the lack of support of AVX-512 on Intel’s Alder Lake-S CPUs

Intel is finally retiring its 9th Gen Core-X ‘Skylake-X’ series of CPUs, giving them an End-of-Life/EOL status

Intel has recently issued a new product change notification (PCN) in which the company has announced the discontinuation of its 9th Gen Core X series “Skylake-X” HEDT processors. The new PCH applies to all the Skylake-X processors based on the ‘LGA2066’ socket as well as the Xeon W-2000 series workstation processors, which also use the same socket, and are based on a similar IP. Continue reading Intel is finally retiring its 9th Gen Core-X ‘Skylake-X’ series of CPUs, giving them an End-of-Life/EOL status
