Is Intel Going to Kill its Celeron Processor Brand?
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
The information comes courtesy of TweakTown, which says that Intel may be replacing Celerons with Pentiums. So far, there is not much substance to this rumor as it is based on speculation surrounding the release of the Pentium 350 as a low-end part for servers.
In the past, Intel has occasionally played with the idea to get rid of some old brand names that carried baggage with somewhat negative connotations. For example, we had credible information back in the beginning of 2006 that Intel was pretty much set to drop the Pentium brand. As the first Core 2 Duo processors (Conroe core) were prepared to replace the 65 nm Pentium 4 processors, which had assumed a reputation of being inferior to A...

Intel Launches Core i7-2700K Processor
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelCore i7-2700K
Well it was expected for a while now, Intel released its latest performance-segment processor, the Core i7-2700K. The i7-2700K is a quad-core chip in the LGA1155 package, based on the 32 nm "Sandy Bridge" silicon. It is clocked at 3.50 GHz, and features an unlocked base clock ratio multiplier, which makes overclocking possible. It features AVX instruction set, AES native acceleration, HyperThreading (which enables 8 logical CPUs), 256 KB L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache.

Report: Don't Expect Ivy Bridge Before March
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Intel’s spiffy Sandy Bridge processors haven’t even been available for a year yet, and already their doomsday clock is ticking. Ivy Bridge, the slimmer, trimmer 22nm next generation version of Intel’s 32nm Sandy Bridge processors, are barreling down fast. So fast, in fact, that you can already pick up motherboards built to accommodate Ivy Bridge’s PCIe 3.0 support. But when is Ivy Bridge actually going to hit? Intel will only say “Early 2012,” but one source claims to know a more specific time frame.

Intel Confirms Bundling LGA 2011 CPUs with Own-Brand Liquid Coolers
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Next to AMD Intel has recently confirmed its plans to sell special kits of the high-performance Sandy Bridge-E processors that in addition of the CPU will also include an Intel branded closed loop liquid cooler.
This is the first time that the chip maker will bundle any of its processors with a water cooling solution.
In addition to selling the liquid cooler as part of a kit, Intel also plans to release this solution separately (also a premier for the company), in order to address other platform as well.

Some Intel LGA1156, LGA775 Processors to be Discontinued
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Intel is preparing to discontinue a couple of Core processors in the LGA1156 package, and a few older processors in the LGA775 package. These include the Core i5-661 and Core i3-530, two of the first Clarkdale dual-core processors, Pentium Dual-Core E5700, Celeron E3500 and E3400.
Intel will take orders for Core i5-661 and Core i3-530 till April 27, 2012, and will ship the last of them by October 5, 2012. Orders for Pentium E5700, Celeron E3500 and Celeron E3400 will be taken till December 30, 2011. While the last of the tray shipments will be completed by June 8th, 2012, boxed versions will ship till supplies are depleted in Intel's warehouses.

Intel Atom N2600, N2800, D2500, D2700 CPUs quietly break cover
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelAtom N2600Atom N2800Atom D2700Atom D2500
At some point over the weekend, Intel quietly slipped some new processors onto its website along with some of the existing parts. The new processors are low power parts that slurp down little power and seem to be aimed at netbooks and nettops. The new processors include the D2500 and D2700 desktop parts and the N2600 and N2800 parts for netbooks. With anything portable that has limited space for battery power, power miserly processors are a big deal.

Intel: We're Not Ditching The Atom Brand
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Recent reports indicate that Intel plans to re-brand its Cedar Trail processors slated for 2012 because demand for Atom-based netbooks, nettops, handheld devices, consumer electronics products and embedded devices have dropped significantly. The reason behind the decline, according to industry sources, is due to the "poor brand image" of Atom CPUs.

Aw Nuts, Intel Core i7 2700K Won't Drive Down Price of 2600K Processor
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelCore i7-2600K
Sorry folks, as much as we dislike being the bearer of bad news, sometimes it's inevitable. This is one of those cases. though it's not the end of the world. It appears as though Intel's upcoming Core i7 2700K processor isn't going to shove aside the Core i7 2600K at the $317 price point as previously rumored, and could cost as much as $350 at launch.

Intel's solar-powered CPU prototype
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Justin Rattner, Intel Chief Technical Office, today showed off a prototype CPU with such a low power rating that it can run from a solar cell the size of a postage stamp.
Code-named Claremont the Pentium-class processor is capable of operating at less than 10mW and still run operating systems such as Linux or Windows.
"It's part of our long standing obsession with power reduction," said Intel CEO, Paul Otellini when he showed a sneak peak of the setup on Tuesday.
The huge power saving has been made possible by operating the transistors in the processor at near their threshold voltage.
The threshold voltage is the voltage at which the transistor turns on.
Today's processors operate at several...

Upgrading to Ivy Bridge to be blocked by UEFI changes?
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Meanwhile VR Zone reports that current motherboards may not be compatible with Intel's forthcoming Ivy Bridge processors due to a UEFI related issue. If motherboard makers are unable to fix this problem it will be quite a disappointment as most vendors have gone out and said that their 6-series boards are compatible with Ivy Bridge.

Intel Sued Over Atom Power Management Feature

Intel used such a technology, called Speedstep, since 2000, but is now being asked to pay damages, license fees, and attorney's fees in a patent infringement suit.
The suit was filed by Frisco, Texas-based Power Management Systems, which claims rights to a patent that describes a "power management apparatus collocated on the same integrated circuit as the functional unit that it manages."

Intel to Release New Itanium CPUs in 2012: New Architecture and Up to Eight Cores
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Intel held a keynote at Hot Chips conference in Stanford University last week where it announced some details of upcoming Itanium CPUs. While originally meant to conquer the enterprise market, Itanium is mostly used for the ultra high end enterprise space. Itanium isn't backwards compatible with x86 and uses Intel's VLIW IA-64 architecture. Intel claims that Itanium is a four billion dollar business and more than 80% of world's top 100 companies utilize Itanium.
The codename for the new CPUs is "Poulson" and it is the 10th Itanium CPU lineup. The biggest updates are a new architecture, twice as many cores (up to eight), twice the instruction throughput and a 32nm process.
