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.

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.

Intel Z77 Motherboard Lineup for Ivy Bridge Processors surfaces
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsIntelDZ77RE-75KDZ77GA-70K
Together with the launch of its first wave Ivy Bridge processors, Intel will release new LGA 1155 motherboards based on the Z77 PCH (platform controller hub) that will offer native support for USB 3.0.
It now seems that 11 LGA 1155 models will be introduced in the first half of 2012, two of them belonging to the company's extreme performance series as softpedia reports:
These are the DZ77RE and DZ77GA and both feature “Max-OC” support (whatever that might mean), are two-way SLI and CrossFireX compatible and use the standard ATX form factor.

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.

Intel Creates $300 Million Fund to Make Ultrabooks
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksIntel
There's a new segment of portable PCs coming soon, and they're called Ultrabooks. Intel took the wraps off of the design direction at Computex 2011 for exceptionally thin-and-light notebooks that take many design cues from Apple's MacBook Air.
Asus and Acer have already announced Ultrabook products, and there will be plenty more coming because Intel is pushing hard for the growth of this new segment that the chip giant believes will be 40 percent of the consumer laptop market segment by the end of 2012.

Intel Throws $30 Million into Cloud and Embedded Computing
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Back in early 2009, we ran a piece in the QuickStart section of Maximum PC magazine on what effect the recession was having on the tech sector and what it might mean for company roadmaps. For that piece, an Intel spokesperson told us during a phone interview the chip giant has been through tough economic times before and the company understands "you can't save your way out of a recession; you spend your way out." It's over two years later now, times are still tough, and Intel is still spending money.
Announced on Wednesday, Intel Labs said it's investing $30 million on two new Intel Science and Technology Centers (ISTC) located at Carnegie Mellon University. These new centers will focus on c...

Intel grows in Q2 2011 GPU market
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsIntel
Jon Peddie Research published its report about the GPU market in Q2 2011. The firm says GPU shipments were up 6.3 percent sequentially while PC sales grew just 2.4 percent, and that Intel made big gains in marketshare at the expense of both AMD and NVIDIA.
Between the first and second quarters, Intel purportedly enjoyed a 19.6% surge in shipments of graphics-enabled products, while AMD and Nvidia saw respective declines of 7.3% and 5.3%. Interestingly, JPR also says that Nvidia's slice of the discrete graphics market got 30% larger in the second quarter, reportedly because of design wins in many Sandy Bridge notebooks.
The research firm also sprinkles in a bit of news about the overall grap...

Intel's Haswell IGP to Feature DirectX 11.1, Increased Professional Application Support
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsIntel
Intel's integrated graphics processors have long had a poor reputation when it comes to gaming, and while the IGPs get a little closer to competitiveness with each iteration, that is still largely true. However, there's another area in which the chips are surprisingly competitive: workstation applications.
At least on paper, Intel's current IGPs are fully certified for high-end programs like Photoshop CS5, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks, and future Ivy Bridge and Haswell IGPs add a lot of other big names to the list. This slow build-up of certifications means that Intel solutions may begin to replace dedicated FireGL and Quadro cards from AMD and nVidia in low and mid-end workstations, another cont...
