We’ve heavily criticized Intel’s NUC and some readers argued that the system demonstrated back then was not actually a production model. From what we’ve heard, this one is and it’s not much different from the one displayed in spring. Maybe the most important aspect we must emphasize is the pe... |

We already reported on Clover trail’s capabilities and features here and the prototype tablet was also discussed here, but there wasn’t much info on the user interaction and the general responsiveness of the tablets.
We know the performance is not really on par with what top-performing ARM Android tablet... |

We’ve already detailed here that Intel’s x86 Atom has very slim chances when taking on Qualcomm’s ARM processors or any other new generation ARM mobile CPU from Samsung or Nvidia. Intel’s IDF 2012 Medfield launch is plagued by catastrophic benchmark results. Many industry insiders were wonder... |

During this year’s IDF event in San Francisco, California, many companies have displayed their new and most advanced technologies. One unsurprising, but rather forgotten participant is the well-known technology developer Rambus. The company has managed to make a very bad name for itself after suing mos... |

We reported here on OCZ’s new Vector drive and here about the Argon processor that powers it, but most important is that the company’s CEO says that the new device will change the SSD world. We know that NAND prices will fall quite a bit as Toshiba gets its production back on track, and we reported that h... |

Intel’s always-on / always-connected concept is quite interesting and somewhat useful as everything is completely updated when you open the lid of your UltraBook, but it will actually make the CPU drain quite a lot of power as it’s not really idling too much. Intel envisions a world where your mobile com... |

OCZ has worked very much to become one of the top SSD makers and now we can definitely say that the company actually is the most influential independent solid state disk drive designer. Sure Intel makes its own SSDs, but it is the world’s largest semiconductor company, it makes its own NAND flash and, if so de... |

Gigabyte has come up with a very interesting concept. We’re talking about a barebone that becomes an AIO system once the user chooses how much RAM memory he needs and chooses an LGA1155 CPU along with an HDD or an SSD. The system supports Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge processors with a maximum TDP of 95 watts wh... |

In a very interesting turn of events, we’ve just found out that Intel actually has functional 14nm processors that have been tested by the company and are able to run Windows, but the outfit is not willing to announce them at IDF 2012. Intel’s 14nm Haswell is codenamed Broadwell and according to Fudzilla... |

We reported here that there are strong chances Intel will not launch the top performing desktop version of the new Haswell architecture next spring and it seems like we were actually right about this. AMD’s lack of a worthy x86 performance competitor seems to be the reason behind Intel’s delay. Intel is... |

Intel’s ThunderBolt technology might actually get a useful line of devices that will truly put all that bandwidth to good use. Lucid is hard at work developing an external TunderBolt dock that will allow the user to access the performance of a discrete GPU on his ultra-thin notebook. The company is an expert a... |

Intel’s Atom architecture took the computing market by surprise with its incredibly low power consumption, but also the unbelievably low performance. Now it seems that tablet makers have taken a good look at the way netbooks evolved and are apparently steering clear of Atom. During this year’s IDF event ... |

It seems that the big message to take home from this year’s IDF event in San Francisco is that the new architecture is power-efficiency oriented and there was practically no emphasis on performance. Not even the impressive new iGPU is allowed to truly shine and display its peromance.Intel is keeping the TDP spe... |

By the end of this year, Intel intends to have at least one tablet loaded with Windows 8 out and about, one that may or may not bear its brand.
Intel is the main promoter of ultrabooks, but it doesn't actually make those things. OEMs, like Samsung, do it instead.
The same sort of situation is bound to come a... |

Anyone hoping that Intel's next-generation mobile chip will one-up Tegra 3 will probably be disappointed.
Intel has been advertising its Medfield chip as a competent competitor to ARM-based mobile platforms.
Alas, while the processing prowess and power consumption might be decent enough, the graphics leave muc... |
