Intel also bumped up memory support from DDR4-2933 to DDR4-3200, matching AMD's Ryzen, and added support for 20 lanes of PCIe 4.0, a needed addition that comes two long years after AMD led the industry with the first PC chips to support the interface. Intel also reworked the internal PCIe subsystem to accommodate the x4 direct connection (the chips now support 20 lanes) for M.2 SSDs to the CPU. Intel also widened the DMI 3.0 connection (the pathway that connects the CPU and chipset) from four lanes to eight, doubling throughput up to a theoretical ~7.86 GB/s. … [Read more...] about Intel Teases Rocket Lake Core i9-11900K, Intends to Retake Gaming Crown With 19% IPC Increase

Everything Intel has announced at CES 2021 so far
“This is unique in the industry because it’s optimized for the true mobile enthusiast, with features that you normally only find in high-end desktop systems coding reaching speeds up to 5 GHz across multiple cores,” Walker added. “It includes support for PCIe Gen 4 architecture with 20 lanes to the CPU. This is going to give you the flexibility and powers of the fastest storage and graphics available today, providing close to 40 gigabytes a second, which is five times more CPU-attached bandwidth than any other laptop platform outside of our own 10th-Gen core family.” … [Read more...] about Everything Intel has announced at CES 2021 so far

The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is now on sale, with the first Intel Ice Lake chip in tow
Intel fans were understandably disappointed at the revelation that Ice Lake desktop chips will not land in consumer devices anytime soon, but the mobile Ice Lake chip that ships in the XPS 13 2-in-1 is proving to be no consolation prize. In fact, leaks from a test of an Ice Lake i7 CPU running in an HP Spectre x360 laptop shows clear areas of strength over AMD’s powerhouse Ryzen 9 3900X chip, to say nothing of the kinds of hardware that the Ice Lake mobile series is more likely to face head-to-head via comparable consumer devices. … [Read more...] about The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is now on sale, with the first Intel Ice Lake chip in tow
Intel’s CEO Says Using Competing Process Tech In Intel Fabs Is an Option
Bob Swan: I would say, first, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time; sorry we're so time-starved. I look forward to being back at CES in person, or seeing you at Architecture Day or Analyst Day. It's been a tough couple of years. We're coming out of 2020, and our guidance said it'll be the best year in the company's history. It's the fifth best year in a row, and to your question, Ian, it's all about innovation and execution. And we're getting our mojo back as we exit the year. We're excited about what we're going to be able to do for our customers in 21. And I look forward to continuing the dialogue with you all. So Happy New Year. Thanks. Thanks so much for taking the time. … [Read more...] about Intel’s CEO Says Using Competing Process Tech In Intel Fabs Is an Option
