Computex 2024: Plenty of Intel Z890 motherboards at the Computex 2024 show floor

While Intel did not confirm the official launch date of the upcoming Arrow Lake-S CPUs, it has now reported that these Core Ultra 200 desktop chips could launch in October. There were plenty of Intel next-gen chipset motherboards at the Computex 2024 show floor and some motherboard makers have even revealed the Z890 name.

Foveros packaging at its best with new P- and E-cores, Intel Thread Director, new NPU, and Arc Xe2 GPU

Intel has shed more details about its Lunar Lake architecture during the Tech Tour event, including details about all the improvements it will bring to the new Core Ultra mobile processors. This is an extensive list that includes new Lion Cove P-cores, Skymont E-cores, new NPU, the Arc Xe2 Battlemage GPU, and enhancements to the Intel Thread Director, all neatly packaged into a single-tiled SoC.

Hardwired into the SoC

Starting with its upcoming Lunar Lake laptop CPU series, Intel will install memory into the processor SoC itself, offering only 16GB or 32GB initially. This will mean the end of user-replaceable RAM, at least for this series of chips.

Computex 2024: Expects to match Nvidia and AMD

US chipmaker Intel announced new artificial intelligence chips for data centres as it seeks to challenge rivals Nvidia and AMD.

MSI lifted the kimono on its latest Intel Xeon 6 processor-based server platforms at Computex 2024 in Taipei, yesterday.

A business-oriented twin of ROG NUC

ASUS has introduced its newest NUC 14 Performance, a small powerhouse equipped with up to Intel Core Ultra 9 185H CPU and Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 GPU. This puts it in line with ASUS' previously launched ROG NUC.

It’s been a hard days knight

Chipzilla has withdrawn support for its Xeon Phi Knights Mill and Knights Landing accelerators from the LLVM/Clang 19 compiler as a sign that its MIC architecture is toast.

Mt Evans has been a long time in the making

Chipzilla has finally released its IPU E2100 DPU for the mass market. 

80 laptops, 20 OEM and 45+ TOPS NPU, fastest ever

Intel announced a bit more details about the next-generation notebook technology SoC codenamed Lunar Lake and synced it up with Microsoft’s Copilot+ announcement. Lunar Lake has new P and E cores, 1.5 times faster Battlemage graphics, 45+ TOPS NPU and an additional 60 TOPS from the GPU, advanced low power, and most importantly performance faster than Ryzen 7 8840U & Snapdragon X Elite. 

Nvidia's only needs 1200W

Intel has let slip that its soon-to-drop Falcon Shores AI processor, a nifty hybrid chip that marries x86 and Xe GPU cores, is set to be a proper guzzler, chugging down a hefty 1500 watts (W) of juice -- a fair bit thirstier than Nvidia’s B200, which only sips up to 1200W.
