Overclocking is generally a term more familiar with custom PC builders, gamers, and modders who push their machines to the limits. The process is mostly done for tasks like improving the frame rate during gaming sessions. It involves adjusting different settings on the machine such as CPU frequency, RAM settings, power, and voltage. Now, Intel […]
At Computex 2019, a couple of days back, we saw the Asus Zenbook Pro Duo laptop. It packs an Nvidia RTX 2060 and is surely aimed at gamers who might need some extra space during their sessions. Then we saw the Omen X 2S with a futuristic design from HP. Silicon giant Intel has also […]
Computex 2019 has kicked off and Intel has unveiled details about its first 10nm commercial processors — Ice Lake processors. The new Ice Lake processors retain the same number of cores and threads as its 8th-gen processors, but Intel says that the 10th-gen core chip brings 18% increase in instruction per cycle (IPC) over its […]
It now seems that the Snapdragon chips have started to perform at par with Intel’s powerful chips. Last year, at the Snapdragon event, Qualcomm announced the ARM-based Snapdragon 8cx 7nm chip designed for Windows 10 laptops. Later, the company came up with the 5G version of Snapdragon 8cx in February. Now, at the Computex 2019, […]
Since the vulnerabilities of Spectre and Meltdown appeared, specialists in information security services anticipated that implementing software fixes for these flaws implied a decrease in the performance of a system, although due to the new information related to this type of cyber errors the exact impact is still unknown, and there is still not enough […]
When I first came across Clear Linux about two years ago, the information available on the project was limited. It was simply being called Intel’s custom distribution that will offer the best Linux support on Intel hardware in cloud deployments. As developers were also working to add support for Steam, gamers also expected to get […]
The tech company Intel has confirmed that the problems discovered on their processors chips imply a decrease in the performance of the computers of some users, report experts in information security services. According to the reports, the data centers could be affected to a greater extent by these corrections, although they mention that this impact […]
Zombieload is the latest Intel CPU vulnerability to plague everything from desktop computers to enterprise level servers. However, due to the increasingly complex nature of online attacks, it is becoming harder for companies to detect and fix them. These fixes are usually half measured at best and cause the processors of enterprises as well as […]
At its Investor Day today, Intel opened up about the roadmap for future processors.
