Intel may postpone mass shipments of Ivy Bridge processors
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Intel recently notified partners of its plans to postpone mass shipments of the company’s Ivy Bridge processors, reports DigiTimes. The company still plans to announce new products that will ship in small volume in April according to the report, although mass shipments are not expect to occur until after June. The supposed delay comes as a number of notebook vendors are seeing weakening sales from the diminishing global economy and other factors. Both vendors and Intel are said to have large inventories of Sandy Bridge processors, so the delay could be seen as a way to minimize the impact of leftover CPUs.

Intel's upcoming My WiFi Dashboard with Wi-Fi Direct unveiled
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Intel’s upcoming My WiFi Dashboard utility will feature Wi-Fi Direct as well as other interesting options, according to a slide obtained by VR-Zone, which shows a screenshot of Intel’s new WiFi software. With different functions presented around a sphere-like object, the overall design sends reminders of old motherboard utilities that were usually more visually striking than functional.
Hopefully that won't be the case here. The utility's Wi-Fi direct feature will allow users to connect wireless devices in much the same way as they would currently connect them to Bluetooth. This means they'll be able to transfer files between devices and synchronize them with ease.

CyberPowerPC Embraces Intel's Overclocking Warranty Plans
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelCyberPower
Boutique system builder CyberPowerPC claims it's the first U.S. computer manufacturer to offer Intel's Performance Tuning Protection plan, which gives reckless or unlucky overclockers the opportunity to take a one-time mulligan on an overclock-gone-bad and receive a replacement processor. Intel charges a nominal fee (compared to the cost of a replacement processor) for the added protection, but CyberPowerPC's offering it for free on select setups.

Intel quietly outs seven new Sandy Bridge CPUs to check we're paying attention
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelCore i5-2550KCore i5-2450PCore i5-2380PCeleron B815Celeron B720Celeron 867Celeron 797
Intel opened its back door and shuttled out a refresh of its chips without so much as a phone call, typical! Three desktop Core i5 chips made their way into the big bad world, the i5-2550K replacing the i5-2500K, the i5-2450P replacing the i5-2400 and the i5-2380P replacing the i5-2320. There's a suspicion that the P that follows the two latter models means the GPUs have been disabled / removed to differentiate the price. The four Celerons, two low-voltage, two ultra-low voltage similarly replace older models, from the $70 B720 (replacing the B710) through to the $134 Celeron 867, supplanting the 857.

Unredacted docs show hiring collusion between tech giants Apple, Google, and Intel
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleIntelGoogle
Last week, heavily redacted documents were released regarding an antitrust lawsuit that the US Department of Justice had brought and settled against Googe, Apple, Adobe, Intel and other companies back in 2010. Even in the heavily redacted documents, evidence was seen that the companies had been engaged in collusion. Essentially, the companies all had informal agreements to not hire or "poach" each others' employees.

Sales of Intel's Atom processor have hit an all-time low in Q4 2011. The chip giant pulled in $167 million of Atom sales, a far cry from the $438 million peak achieved two years ago as X-bit Labs reports.
While Intel Corp. is facing great demand towards its advanced Core i-series "Sandy Bridge" microprocessors, the firm of witnessing rapidly dropping demand towards its low-cost/low-power Atom chip line. In Q4 2011 sales of Intel Atom hit all-time low, which is another evidence of dropping popularity of netbooks and ultra low-cost PCs powered by Intel in general.

Intel CEO Says That 4G Will Be Integrated into SoCs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Intel CEO Paul Otellini reportedly said during the most recent conference call with financial analysts that wireless wide area network (WWAN) functionality will be integrated into its SoCs developed from smartphones and tablets. This would seemingly help Intel distinguish its SoC solution from ARM's non-x86 design which is currently used in chips offered by Nvidia, Qualcomm and others.

ARM Doesn't See Intel as a Competitive Threat
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Following Intel's announcement of its Medfield smartphone processor for 2012 commercial products, ARM played down the potential impact of Intel's debut product and Intel's competitive strength. In an article posted by Digitimes, Jeff Chu, ARM's director of consumer, client computing, implied that Intel cannot succeed because it does not offer different products for different purposes. As a result, Intel cannot support the needs of market segmentation, ARM said.

Intel does the executive shuffle
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Time to update your Intel executive playing cards. The chipmaker is doing some serious reshuffling high up in its ranks. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that SVP Brian Krzanich and EVP Dadi Perlmutter will be taking on the roles of chief operating officer and chief product officer, respectively. The big moves come on the heels of some positive looking financial results. The Journal suggests that the decision may be part of the company's attempt to line up a successor for current Intel CEO, Paul Otellini.

Intel offers overclocking protection warranty
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Computer chipmaker Intel has just launched its Performance Tuning Protection Plan meant for users who want to overclock their unlocked Core i-series CPUs without worrying about the consequences if they go too far. The plan will replace a single processor if it fails when taken outside of Intel's specifications. This is in addition to Intel's standard three-year warranty, but does require owners to pay a separate fee.

Intel Q4 revenue beats estimates, netbook interest continues to crater
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Intel lowered its revenue forecast in December, anticipating a drop due to hard drive shortages caused by the flooding in Thailand. Today the numbers hit, and it turns out the company actually beat its own estimates. Intel reported $13.9 billion in revenue for the quarter — its reduced estimate had come in at $13.7 billion — up 21 percent from the same time last year. While a pleasant surprise given the circumstances, the figure still represents a two percent drop compared to Q3 of this year, owing to decreased sequential revenues from its PC Client Group, as well as rapidly-dwindling interest in netbooks. The company's Atom line was the worst offender, with revenues dropping 38 percent from...

AMD Aims to Undercut Intel with Ultrabook Alternative
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelAMD
The message at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year was loud and clear: Ultrabooks are here to stay. Intel finds itself in similar territory after spearheading the once hugely popular netbook market, and so does AMD, which has a chance to take a mulligan and do things differently this time. AMD waited too long to get into netbook alternatives, and this time around, the Sunnyvale chip maker doesn't want history to repeat itself.

Intel-powered Windows 8 tablets to struggle for sub-$600 pricing?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMicrosoftIntelWindows 8
Microsoft has a big battle ahead to overcome the overwhelming popularity of the iPad on the tablet computing front, and its Intel-powered slates might be starting at a distinct disadvantage if a DigiTimes report is to be believed. The site indicates that neither Intel nor Microsoft are willing to cut their prices to help manufacturers, the former providing the Clover Trail hardware and the latter the Windows 8 software, which could see these machines starting at $599 and going way up from there. This could send manufacturers looking for lesser-expensive ARM-powered hardware, creating tablets incapable of executing the current gamut of x86 Windows software. Will users pay a premium for app co...
