Intel denies reports of ultrabook hardware subsidies
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Earlier this week, Digitimes reported that Intel is providing $100 "marketing subsidies" for ultrabook manufacturers in order to lower hardware prices, but Intel's Bill Calder told CNET today that "there is no $100 subsidy for ultrabooks," and that "the report from Digitimes was false." We're not clear if Intel's message about subsidies is purely semantic, because they still fund manufacturers at some level; as analyst Nathan Brookwood tells CNET, the company routinely offers money to manufacturers in the form of cooperative advertising. Instead of paying companies to build hardware, Intel offers advertising funds, thereby avoiding the Federal Trade Commission's ire over anticompetitive beha...

First Intel powered smartphone, made by Samsung for Sprint, coming to 2012 CES?
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungIntel
Speculation is growing that there will soon be a smartphone that can say it has "Intel Inside". Sources for Android and Me are saying that Samsung is the manufacturer of the Intel flavored phone which will be available for Sprint. The phone, which is allegedly going to run Android 4.0, will first be seen during next year's CES. And there is some substance behind the rumors.
PC World's Agam Shah reports that Intel has been able to get Ice Cream Sandwich on its Atom processor, co-named Medfield. Shah adds that Intel has been working on optimizing the processor for certain devices, and should be ready in time for when these devices are being released. As for talk that Intel's x86 processors can...

I mentioned last week that Intel was said to be working on a new wired docking device for the Ultrabook lien that is tipped to be using Thunderbolt. This week we have another new rumor that points to Intel working on a second docking system for Ultraboosk, and this one is wireless. The new docking station uses WiGig tech that offers more bandwidth than 802.11n.

AMD 'Not Competing with Intel Anymore'
Like UnlikeFiled in: IntelAMD
Yesterday a big discussion already started in our forums after the an AMD spokesman made a remarkable remark.
"We're at an inflection point," said AMD spokesman Mike Silverman, according to a Mercury News report. "We will all need to let go of the old 'AMD versus Intel' mindset, because it won't be about that anymore."
Speculations are that AMD simply might halt high-end processors and focus more on mobile parts like the current Llano processors. We can already see processor prices rise ...
If anything, 2011, with more than half a year of lacking an actual CEO, was a clear symptom that Advanced Micro Devices had to do something, and soon. The company has a new leader now and, sure enough, t...

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's gettin' kinda heavy, it's got the power, gonna break your heart
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Intel spent most of yesterday standing in the bar at the SC11 conference showing off the size of its computing prowess. Admittedly, it's on a roll; the Xeon E5 processor powers ten of the Top 500 supercomputers in the world, and Intel chips as a whole are found inside 85 percent of all the machines on the list -- not to mention the E5's newly minted PCI Express 3.0 compatibility. The Santa Clara chip maker is also building a new Exascale lab at the Barcelona Computing Center, a ten petaflop "Stampede" machine at the Texas Advanced Computing center and several other machines for Government agencies like NASA. The Seattle shindig was a great excuse for Intel's Rajeeb Hazra to show off the new ...

Intel to make future notebooks MasterCard PayPass compatible
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksIntel
When Intel bets on a certain type of technology, it usually becomes a standard. That’s the kind of power they have because of their massive scale. An astonishing 80.2% of the computers that were sold in Q3 of this year had Intel chips inside. MasterCard, looking to take advantage of Intel’s dominance, has announced that they’ve partnered with the chip giant so that future personal computers will be able to read PayPass enabled credit/debit cards. The deal is a “multi-year strategic collaboration”, which means it’ll take a while before you’ll actually see a PayPass logo on a notebook at your local electronics shop.

Intel is working on a new CPU line that is designed exclusively for tablets.
It looks as though Intel's upcoming mobile chip, codenamed Medfield, will be making its way to smartphones but steering clear of slates with this new tablet chip taking its place.
Digitimes is reporting that the new tablet processors will be particularly focused on thermal design power (TDP) and performance.

Jon Peddie Research has released its third quarter report on the graphics market, announcing 16.7% sequential increase in shipments to 138.5 million. That's above the 10-year average of 13.9%, but still in line with seasonal expectations as vendors stock up for the holidays. Intel alone witnessed a 28.5% growth in shipments on-quarter and 36.5% on-year, which is almost entirely comprised of the embedded graphics chips inside its latest-generation desktop and mobile processors. The company has maintained its majority share of the graphics market with 60.4% slice -- up 10.1% from the previous quarter and 9.5% on-year.
Although it has experienced a 9.9% growth in shipments -- thanks to its legi...

Intel doesn't expect ultrabooks to hit $699 anytime soon
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksIntel
Intel's Asia-Pacific GM Navin Shenoy in an interview Tuesday said that ultrabooks weren't likely to get down to typical Windows PC levels in the near future. While Intel was helping to find ways to lower the price, Shenoy told Reuters that "more work needs to happen" from partners to dip much below the $999 price set by the originator of the category, the MacBook Air. The magic $699 price thought to bring mainstream adoption would come, but it wouldn't be in the first wave.
"At some point you'll have to be at that price point, but it doesn't have to be overnight," he explained. "It takes time to engineer a cost down."
He rejected, however, the calls from Windows PC builders to lower chip pri...

Just a few weeks ago Sony reportedly declined to offer a reason why it didn't want to jump on the ultrabook bandwagon. But speculation pointed to a company concerned over the high cost and low profit margins associated with Intel's new form factor. Sony also previously launched its own Z-series of ultra-portable VAIO laptops sporting high-performance hardware crammed inside an ultra-thin 0.66-inch design.

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.
