Intel's next-generation central processing units (fourth generation, Haswell) will be the most efficient in the company's lineup, ever. This, however, has raised some problems.
Basically, the chips are more efficient than the power supply can be, to the point that they must either be limited in their powe... |

Even as it hops over, or pushes through, all the hurdles in the path of going private, Dell continues to do its job as world-class provider of computers and other consumer electronics devices. Case in point, the company is developing more notebooks for the Latitude series, two of which are expected to debut during t... |

It wasn't that long ago that Intel revealed the Atom Silvermont processor, and the supposedly massive implications it had for the tablet market.
Intel hopes to finally score a big set of points on the tablet industry.
Alas, if it thought it could truly ride the success of the slate market, it was mistaken, o... |

The Lynx Point chipset is no longer a far-off dream, but something that has begun to spawn motherboards left and right. And it should be, with Intel's new CPUs around the corner.
Intel's fourth generation of Core-series central processing units will be officially introduced between June 4 and 8, at Comput... |

Of the whole list of ULV Haswell mobile CPUs, only two have been detailed so far, while the others are completely wrapped up in mystery, except for the type of GPUs they have (HD 4000 / 5000 Series).
The two chips that CPU World found more information on are the Core i5-4350U and the Core i7-4650U.
The latter is, o... |

Intel doesn't intend to release the Haswell CPU line before Computex 2013 (June 4-8), but that hasn't stopped the Core i7-4770K from being reviewed in China, or the desktop series from already selling.
Now, it has come to light, or at least rumor has it, that notebooks will reach retail channels by the en... |

A while ago, it came to light that Intel's Haswell central processing units had a certain trait that made them partially incompatible with most power supplies of today. See more on that here. There is no easy way to figure out which PSUs have what it takes to run the chips properly at low energy settings. It�... |

Intel hasn't formally introduced its Haswell collection of central processing units, and doesn't plan to do it until next month, June 2013. Yet this was not enough to prevent the chips from selling early.

Back in March, we found out about a benchmark involving Intel's upcoming Core i7-4770K central processing units, and it wasn't altogether encouraging, so we decided to wait for a second opinion.

All central processing unit series have a so-called flagship CPU, and for the Haswell collection, that highest-end chip is called Core i7-4770K.
Logically, I'd expect the CPU to have to be launched before any overclocking records are set.
Then again, this isn't the first time a chip gets put through its p... |

Intel has revealed something really important about Haswell CPUs, something that makes them incompatible with the majority of PSUs on the market.
