One thing is for certain; the landscape of the server market will change drastically if regulators approve the merger. Intel is the dominant server chip provider in the market, but recent 'defections' on both the consumer side (Apple) and server side (AWS) of its businesses already signal a potential weakness that few would have imagined a few years ago. A faster cadence of ARM architecture innovations could certainly pose a threat to Xeon's position, not to mention its Habana/Nervana AI products. … [Read more...] about Jensen Huang Says Nvidia-Branded ARM CPUs Are a Possibility

The Pentium Silver J6005 leads the way for desktop Jasper Lake parts. The quad-core part seemingly rocks a 2 GHz base clock and 3.3 GHz boost clock. In comparison to the existing Pentium Silver J5040, the Jasper Lake chip only shows a 100 MHz increase in boost clock speeds.  … [Read more...] about Intel Jasper Lake CPUs Allegedly Uncovered

After what seems like an eternity, AMD finally came out of the woodwork and officially announced launch dates for its highly anticipated CPUs and GPUs. The Zen 3 keynote will be on 10/8/2020 at 12pm PT, and the RX 6000 "Big Navie" keynote is on 10/28/2020 at 12pm PT.Based on what we already know, Zen 3 will be based on an enhanced 7nm node from TSMC (either N7P or N7+), and focus significantly on increasing IPC performance through improvements to latency with the L1-L3 caches and increased cache capacity. … [Read more...] about AMD Announces Keynote Dates for Zen 3 and Big Navi

Based on the Comet Lake microarchitecture and built on Intel's 14nm process node, the Core i9-10850K features 10 cores, 20 threads and up to 20MB of L3 cache. Intel recently launched the Core i9-10850K as a viable option for consumers who desire near Core i9-10900K-like performance at a lower price point. The Core i9-10850K is no scrub though. The 10-core chip still flexes a 3.6 GHz base clock and a boost clock that easily hits 5.2 GHz via Intel's Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) technology. … [Read more...] about Intel Core i9-10850K Avengers Edition Goes On Sale For $469.99

ASRock Industrial is about to launch one of the world’s first motherboards (PDF) for ultra-compact form-factor (UCFF) desktop PCs based in Intel’s 11th-Gen Core ‘Tiger Lake-U’ processors (via momomo_us/Twitter). The NUC 1100-series motherboards combine Intel’s latest quad-core CPU as well as Iris Xe graphics and promise to deliver good performance for productivity applications, premium multimedia capabilities for HTPCs, as well as decent gaming performance. … [Read more...] about ASRock Preps Tiger Lake-Based NUC Motherboards: Willow Cove & Iris Xe GPU in Desktop PCs
