AMD continues to chip away at rival Intel's lead in desktop processor market share, with a not-insignificant 5.7% leap in the third quarter of 2024, according to the latest auditing figures by Mercury Research. And compared to a year ago, AMD saw its share of the desktop CPU space increase by nearly 10%, falling less...

Speaking plainly, Intel's recently-launched Core Ultra 200 desktop CPUs, code-named "Arrow Lake", weren't quite what we expected out of this new generation of chips from Intel. While productivity and content creation performance was potent in some cases, gaming performance saw a significant regression. As it happens...

If you read that headline and thought, "hey wait, isn't the 285 already out," then you forgot to look at the letter. The Core Ultra 9 285H is an unannounced mobile processor from Intel based on the Arrow Lake architecture. Intel hasn't said anything about mobile Arrow Lake yet, but the first benchmark leak has...

Shares of Intel spiked in aftermarket trading hours last night and remains up (by more than 5.5%) early this morning, as investors are focused on the future and not the $16.6 billion loss that Intel reported for its third quarter of 2024, its biggest quarterly loss ever. The reason? A loss wasn't unexpected on the...

In what might comes as a surprise to some and not to others, early demand for Intel's fresh-out-of-the-oven Core Ultra 200S processors appears virtually non-existent at Mindfactory, the largest online PC parts retailer in Germany. Preliminary sales data indicates that Mindfactory has not yet sold even just a single...

Not only are there are handful of laptops available based on Intel's latest Core Ultra Series 2 lineup, otherwise known as Lunar Lake, but they're mostly all relatively affordable models. There are several options hovering around the the $1,000 mark, the least expensive of which is the ASUS Vivobook S 14 with a...

I come from a generation where hulking computer cases were a serious flex—it suggested some seriously powerful hardware resided inside. They still can be a flex, but there's been a definite shift (generally speaking) towards more compact systems. Well, it doesn't get a whole lot more compact than a mini PC (PC sticks...

Qualcomm just revealed its shiny new mobile processor at the Snapdragon Summit, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The Snapdragon 8 Elite is the first smartphone chip to feature the company's Oryon CPU architecture, which debuted earlier this year in the Snapdragon X Elite laptop processors. Qualcomm says it rearchitected Oryon...

Intel kicked off the Arrow Lake party with a mix of "K" (unlocked multiplier) and "KF" (unlocked multiplier + disabled onboard graphics) models, and namely the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K and 265KF, and Core Ultra 5 245K and 245KF. Eventually we will seen non-K models make a debut, evidence of which can be...

As is customary whenever a company like AMD or Intel launches a new processor lineup, someone is going to rip off the integrated heatspreader (IHS) to expose the die area. That's precisely what has happened with a purported Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) processor, and what makes this especially interesting is...

Lenovo held its 2024 Tech World event this week and about midway through, Intel chief executive officer (CEO) Pat Gelsinger hopped on stage to discuss the artificial intelligence (AI) era, which he likened to being as disruptive as when the internet first burst onto the scene. He also touched on Intel's collaboration...

Once upon a time, there were a myriad of CPU architectures vying for dominance. Occasionally, you'd even have multiple architectures from the same vendor competing against each other. As happens in competitive environments, processor ISAs died off one-by-one until the modern day, where we basically have x86-64 for...

Memory overclocking can have a huge effect on application performance, depending on the app in question. One of the key features of Intel's new Arrow Lake processors is that they can support stratospheric memory transfer rates. However, that may only apply to the high-powered "K" series processors, at least if ASRock...

With the impending launch of Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs seemingly around the corner, we are seeing many companies confirm product compatibility with the LGA1851 socket. As such, Noctua has confirmed which coolers in their line-up will be compatible and has also given instructions on how some users can get free upgrade...

In case you missed it, Intel last week officially launched its Core Ultra 200S series processors, otherwise known as Arrow Lake, for the desktop platform. The initial launch comprises five CPU SKUs in total, including three main "K" models and two "KF" variants, but could there be a faster sixth SKU waiting in the...

Back in late 2021, Intel's 12th generation of desktop CPUs, codenamed Alder Lake, was a revelation. After years of mostly spinning its wheels and ceding performance crowns to rival AMD, Chipzilla was finally back on top. And aside from some modest refinements like faster memory support and expanding the number of...

In our reviews of Lunar Lake systems, we've noted that a particular bright spot for the new Intel SoC, besides its excellent efficiency, is its graphics performance. However, the previous-generation Meteor Lake machines could also offer great graphics performance—when using unlimited power budgets, at least. How does...

Intel's 13th and 14th generation CPUs got gold stars when they launched, offering blistering performance for both single and multi-threaded workloads. As most of you probably know by now though, some of these processors also suffered from instability and were ultimately damaged due to some firmware bugs. A voltage...
