Intel’s 12th 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. This socket will have support for at least three generations of Intel CPUs. Continue reading Intel’s Alder Lake-S CPUs won’t support the AVX-512 instruction, which further confirms the use of ARM’s big.LITTLE design →

Rocket Lake (RKL) is a planned microarchitecture designed by Intel as 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. Continue reading Intel’s Core i7 ‘Rocket Lake-S’ CPU lineup rumored to feature an uneven ‘8 core 12 thread’ configuration →

Intel has finally decided to discontinue the Gemini Lake series of third-generation low-power SoC processors. This move is not unexpected though, since Intel already introduced the updated Gemini Lake Refresh chips back in October last year. Continue reading Intel is finally retiring its ‘Gemini Lake’ family of CPUs, giving them an End-of-Life/EOL status →

It appears that Intel might have another Comet Lake-S desktop processor in the works, as spotted by TUM_APISAK. The core i9-10900K is currently the fastest flagship model in the Comet lake-S series and it has been in the market for quite some time, though with very poor availability or stock. Continue reading Intel’s unannounced Core i9-10850K desktop CPU has been spotted, cheaper 10-core unlocked chip than the i9-10900K →

Similar to the Core i7-10700K, silicon lottery is now selling three different pre-binned variants of the Core i9-10900K processor. Though, they seem to be out of stock right now, but if you are interested in buying any of these processors, then you can get notified by email when these pre-binned Intel Core i9 10900K boxed processors are back in stock. Continue reading Silicon Lottery is currently selling a highly pre-binned 10-cores 5.1GHz (all-core clock) ‘Core i9-10900K’ CPU for $949 →

Intel has released the latest version of its DCH graphics driver for Windows 10 PCs, bringing the version number to 27.20.100.8336. Back in April 2020 Intel released its first public DCH driver which unlocked the OEM restriction, apart from providing support for several PC games. Continue reading Intel’s new graphics Driver version “27.20.100.8336” provides optimizations and fixes bugs in some games →

At this year’s international VLSI conference, Intel CTO Mike Mayberry revealed that the company expects to have new nanowire/nanoribbon transistors in high-volume production within the next five years. Intel is planning to move beyond its current FinFET transistor technology layouts. Continue reading Intel plans to use “nanoribbon/nanowire” transistor tech within 5 years, going from FinFET to Gate-All-Around design →

If you have been following INTEL’s roadmap, then you must be aware that Intel recently introduced its LGA 1200 socket platform for Comet Lake-S, and also promised to offer support for Rocket Lake-S CPUs. Previously, according to one report posted by Lit-Tech, it was rumored that the LGA 1200 socket would soon be replaced with the arrival of next-gen ‘Alder Lake-S’ CPUs. Continue reading Intel’s next-gen “Alder Lake-S” lineup of desktop processors confirmed to support a new LGA1700 socket →
