Intel Tips Crypto Element for 'Ivy Bridge' Chips
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Intel announced a digital random-number generator (DRNG) at an industry conference on Thursday, that the company said would be incorporated in future Intel products to be announced next month.
Intel's DRNG will be built into the "uncore" peripheral logic that will surround the cores at the heart of Intel's 22-nm chips, Intel executives said. The DRNG will be built into products "across the spectrum" of Intel products, Intel executives said.

The Intel Upgrade Service: Once again charging you $50 to do stuff your CPU already does
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Fans of creative nickel-and-dime schemes will love this: Buy an Intel i3-2312M, i3-2102 or Pentium G622 and it just isn't powerful enough, you can grab a $50 upgrade card. Enter the card's code online and hidden capacity in your chip will suddenly become available for use. Those with longer memories will find this offer familiar, because Intel did the same thing last year with the Pentium G6951. You may be peeved at the idea of buying the same thing twice, but remember that the company is only targeting the limited service at low-end consumers who want a little bit extra from their budget desktop. If you're interested in how much performance can be wrung from these chips, check out the sourc...

Apple eggs Intel into making better mobile CPUs
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUAppleIntel
With the speed of a limping slug, Intel is slowing coming 'round to accepting that fact the future of end-user computing lies in lightweight mobility -- and hey, it might be a good idea to come up with a low-power, high-performance chip that can compete with the incredibly successful ARM processors.

Sandy Bridge-E to ship without CPU cooler
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelCore i7-3960X Extreme EditionCore i7-3820Core i7-3930k
Intel has decided to ship its Sandy Bridge-E processors without a bundled CPU cooler, as vrzone reported:
How many of you rely on aftermarket coolers for your CPU? We don't know anyone that thinks Intel's stock coolers are great and when details reached us of Intel not shipping coolers with its upcoming Sandy Bridge-E processors we were at first surprised, but considering the target market it makes a lot of sense.

Intel to Offer CPU Upgrades via Software for Selected Models
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Intel has posted an upgrade service page on their website which indicates that Intel will again be offering upgradeable CPUs. This is not totally unheard of since Intel offered a similar service for Pentium G6951 a year ago. Back then, $50 bought you Hyper-Threading and 1MB more L3 cache, and the SKU of the CPU changed to G6952. This time Intel has expanded the lineup and the upgrade service is available for three CPUs: i3-2312M, i3-2102 and Pentium G622. Unfortunately we don't know the price yet but we do know that the upgrade offers higher frequency and possibly increased amount of cache.

Sandy Bridge E Core i7-3960X performance revealed early
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelCore i7-3960X Extreme Edition
Although an exact release date for Intel's upcoming X79 chipset and Sandy Bridge E processors remains uncertain, DonanimHaber has revealed some new details about one of the parts. The Turkish site has published some internal slides that compare Intel's existing hexa-core Core i7-990X Extreme Edition processor to the new flagship i7-3960X. Unsurprisingly, the new part is claimed to offer a dramatic speed boost.
Despite winding the core clock frequency down from 3.46GHz to 3.30GHz, the i7-3960X actually has a higher peak Turbo Boost speed, revving up to 3.9GHz versus 3.73GHz. The slides also indicate that the new 32nm six-core (12 threads) processor will come with an extra 3MB of cache (15MB v...

Intel adds four 17W mobile Sandy Brige CPUs
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelCeleron 847Core i5-2557MCore i7-2637MCore i7-2677M
All four offerings have 17W thermal envelopes and FCBGA1023 ball-grid-array packages, so they're sure to show up in ultraportables from various manufacturers. The Celeron 847's low price should make it ripe for cheap consumer ultraportables—the kind that rub elbows with Atom netbooks yet feature better displays, faster hardware, and Windows 7 Home Premium.

Intel's Ivy Bridge CPU Launch Slips to March 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Power users were hoping to get their hands on Intel's Ivy Bridge silicon by the end of the year, the time frame the Santa Clara chip maker originally gave for the successor to its existing Sandy Bridge CPUs. Now we're hearing that users will have to wait until March 2012 in order to give notebook vendors more time to sell their existing Sandy Bridge systems.

Tilera takes aim at Intel and AMD with 100-core chip
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelAMD
Tilera on Tuesday announced a new general-purpose CPU with 100 processing cores, which the company hopes will provide headway into a server market dominated by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices.
The low-power 100-core TileGX-3100 chip was co-developed with "leading cloud companies" with the aim of installing it in servers that run database applications and handle large volumes of Internet transactions, the company said. A Tilera spokeswoman declined to name the cloud companies that helped co-develop the chip, saying announcements would be made over time.
