Intel reports record Q3 2011 earnings results
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
On the same day that Apple posted its somewhat disappointing Q4 earnings results, Intel is reporting the opposite with record-breaking Q3 earnings. The chipmaker surpassed the $14 billion revenue mark for the first time, reporting $14.2 billion in GAAP revenue, which has increased 28 percent from the year before, up $3.1 billion. Its net profit came in at $3.5 billion, up by $513 million or about 17 percent year-over-year.
This is the sixth consecutive record-breaking quarter for the company, revealing strong double-digit growth in notebook PCs. The PC Client Group revenue was $9.4 billion, up 22 percent from the same quarter last year. The continued growth in data centers for mobile and clo...

Intel Sues Over "Intel" Trademark Infringement
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
In its filing, Intel claims that Intelspec uses a "name and mark that wholly incorporates and emphasizes the world-famous Intel trademark." According to Intel, the result is confusion and assumptions that Intel may be the source or sponsor of the goods and services provided by Intelspec - or "that there is an association" between the two companies. Intel also claims that Intelspec dilutes the Intel trademark.
The chip maker is asking for a judgment that would, at Intel's discretion, cancel or transfer all rights to the intelspec.com domain name to Intel. Intel also wants a judgment that forces Intelspec to "cancel or modify" its corporate name, as well as a reward for damages and profits Int...

Intel ditches smart TV division
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Chip giant Intel is to drop out of the smart TV market due to a lack of demand for internet-enabled flatscreens.
The company will fold its TV-based Digital Home Group, and move the engineers onto tablet, smartphone and Ultrabook development.
Intel's Atom CE4100 chip currently powers D-Link's Boxee Box and Logitech's Revue digital media players, as well as Sony's Google-powered televisions. But it's set to be the last chip of its kind, with competitor ARM likely to fill the void Intel leaves.
"This is a business decision where we're taking those resources and applying them to corporate priorities," Claudine Mangano, an Intel official, told Bloomberg.

Intel To Revamp SSD Lineup in 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
It looks like Intel has concrete plans with its SSD lineup moving into 2012. A roadmap slide sourced by VR-Zone reveals that its main SSD lines feature major additions or replacements that will take shape by the third quarter of 2012. To begin with the enterprise-grade 700 Series, Intel will have launched SSD 720 "Ramsdale" family of PCI-Express SSDs with SLC NAND flash memory, and SSD 520 "Cherryville", a successor of SSD 510; by the end of 2011. These products will lead the lineup through, with no changes in the first quarter of 2012.
In 2012, Intel will launch "Ramsdale MLC" PCI-Express SSD, a variant of Ramsdale that uses MLC-HET NAND flash memory, that increases capacities, while offer...

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.

Intel Gets Some Navigation Help With Telmap Acquisition
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Intel dives deeper into software. The company confirmed that it has acquired Israel-based Telmap, a developer of navigation software.
Intel did not disclose further details, but it appears as if the company is intending to use Telmap to expand its "mobile software services capabilities".
"Telmap will allow us to provide AppUp developers with great, differentiated location capabilities in the form of a standard set of location-based APIs and software that developers can easily integrate into their AppUp apps," wrote Intel's Peter Biddle in a blog post.
Telmap has 210 employees and claims that says it will post sales of about $33 million this year. As part of Intel, Telmap will become a fully ...

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 grabs Telmap for cross-platform AppUp location services
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Intel has acquired navigation and location-based software specialist Telmap, and will use the company’s technology for cross-platform local services in its AppUp system. Eventually, Intel is planning to offer developers coding for AppUp a set of standardized location-based services (LBS) APIs, with which they’ll be able to integrate potentially complex mapping, local search and other content into their apps with the addition of “just a few lines of code.”

Report: Intel Prepping Low-Cost Thunderbolt Controller for Early 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Intel introduced the world to the next generation of Thunderbolt controllers at IDF 2011 recently. We were told that the next-generation controllers, codenamed “Cactus Ridge," will be available next year when chips based on the Ivy Bridge architecture begin shipping. But a fresh rumor suggests that the two Cactus Ridge chipsets revealed earlier in the month aren’t the only Thunderbolt controllers that Intel has lined up.

Intel Intros New Z68-based Extreme Series Desktop Boards
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsIntelDZ68ZVDZ68BC
Intel released two new Desktop Board Extreme Series motherboards based on the Z68 chipset, supporting Core processors in the LGA1155 package, the DZ68ZV and DZ68BC. The DZ68ZV uses the same exact PCB as the DP67BG, replacing the P67 PCH with Z68 (they're pin-compatible). It lacks display connectivity. The only plus here is support for Intel Smart Response Technology. It uses a 8-phase active-swiching/load-balancing digital PWM power circuitry for the CPU, and quite a few overclocking features. Expansion slots include two PCI-Express 2.0 x16, three PCIe x1, and two PCI. Storage connectivity includes two SATA 6 Gb/s four SATA 3 Gb/s and one eSATA 3 Gb/s. Then there's 8-channel HD audio, USB 3....

Intel: current Thunderbolt ports will support optical cables
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Thunderbolt ports on current Macs will support optical cabling, according to Intel. If you recall, the company's original specification for the technology (codenamed Light Peak at the time) was to use optical cables and eventually reach speeds of up to 100Gbps. But in its first implementation Intel decided to go with regular copper wires instead, in order to save costs while still being able to hit the initial target of 10Gbps speeds.
Though many were disappointed by what was perceived as Intel scaling back the technology, it was necessary to get the technology out in the market at reasonable prices, and because of the way Thunderbolt is designed the move didn't necessarily affect Intel's fu...

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.
