Intel is finally bringing on-device AI to desktop PCs with the launch of its new Core Ultra 200S series of CPUs. The new CPUs bring a boost clock speed of up to 5.7GHz, offering up to 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores. Here are all the details!
A recent WSJ report says that Qualcomm approached Intel for a possible takeover. Intel is struggling with its foundry business and is unable to compete in the server space as well. That said, the deal is unlikely to go through as it would draw the scrutiny of regulators globally.
Intel's new Lunar Lake architecture is redesigned to offer best-in-class efficiency, outperforming even ARM chips. Intel has now packed the CPU, GPU, and NPU onto the Compute tile. And it's manufactured on TSMC's N3B process node. The CPU cores -- Lion Cove and Skymont -- have been enhanced dramatically for improved efficiency and performance. Intel has removed HyperThreading from its CPU after two decades. The new Lunar Lake NPU can perform up to 48 TOPS alone. And the integrated Xe2 GPU is 30% faster than Meteor Lake GPU at half the power.

Intel has finally unveiled its Lunar Lake mobile processors for thin and light laptops. The Core Ultra 200V processors consume 50% less power than Meteor Lake processors and offer up to 20 hours of battery life. It even beats Snapdragon X Elite in certain battery life tests. The Xe2 GPU and NPU have also been overhauled. The NPU can also perform up to 48 TOPS.
Intel's new Lunar Lake architecture is generating quite a buzz as the company moves to a mobile-first approach, emphasizing efficiency at every step. Intel is taking Qualcomm head-on to prove x86 chips can be as efficient as ARM-based SoCs. Intel has moved to TSMC's 3nm process node to manufacture its Compute tile and has added integrated memory directly on the SoC, similar to Apple Silicon. There are many such radical new changes Intel has opted for Lunar Lake. Go through our article to find all the key architectural changes.
The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is one of the top-of-the-line CPUs in 2024. To find out how good it is, we decided to run the 155H through a variety of benchmarks that shed some light on the kind of performance it delivers. I ran Geekbench, Cinebench, 3DMark, PCMark 10, and CrossMark to get a concrete idea. This is a capable chipset with a pretty solid integrated GPU that can deliver some nice performance, and even let you throw some gaming into the mix.
Intel has finally revealed a launch window for its upcoming lineup of Lunar Lake processors. The chips are set to launch in Q3 2024 with the collection being spread to over 80 laptop designs and 20 manufactures. Intel Lunar Lake is poised to be 3 times more powerful in AI processing compared to Meteor Lake. This will be in turn powered by a boosted NPU capable of outputting 40 NPU tera operations per second.
The best gaming CPUs from Intel and AMD are the Core i9-14900K and AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D respectively in the premium segment. For mid-rangers, the i5-14600K is a really good gaming CPU along with AMD's Ryzen 5 5700X3D for AM4 motherboards. Lastly, budget-centric users can pick up the AMD Ryzen 5 5600, Ryzen 5 7600, or Intel Core i5-12400.
Intel Core i9-14900KS has been released at a recommended customer price (RCP) of $699. This has a higher base power consumption of 150W, compared to 125W of the non-KS i9-14900K. The thermal velocity boost frequency is now 6.20 GHz, which is 200MHz higher than the non-KS processor. This is a special edition CPU from Intel compatible LGA 1700 motherboards, part of the 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh lineup.
Intel Arrow Lake has been spotted by X user @InstLatX64 on the Intel-gfx-ci.01.org website. Here, 24 threads and 3GHz (assumably the base clock) has been mentioned. The roadmap by the company suggests a 2024 release date for Intel Arrow Lake. Moreover, AVX512 instructions are disabled on this processor but that could be because of this Arrow Lake processor being an early engineering sample.
A new rumor states that Intel has canceled its plans to have a mobile dedicated GPU for laptops based on the latest Battlemage architecture. Now, we may only see Arc dedicated GPUs for desktops and none for laptops. Still, Battlemage could be used for integrated Arc graphics on laptops. The rumor also has details on release date of new Intel Arc graphics built on Battlemage architecture. Reportedly, Intel is targeting a Q4-24 or Q1-25 launch.

Next Unit of Computing (NUC) is a kind of small form factor personal computer which was sold by Intel. In 2023, Asus acquired the NUC division from Intel and was excited to continue further development. However, a spokesperson at Asus has now revealed that the NUC 13 Extreme made by Intel will not be updated. At CES 2024, Asus has launched three new NUC offerings. The ROG NUC is a compact gaming powerhouse with up to RTX 4070 graphics, and Intel Core Ultra 9 processor. Two other Mini PCs being the NUC 14 Pro and NUC 14 Pro+ have also been released by Asus.
On the ASUS website, Intel Core 'non-Ultra' processors have been spotted in upcoming Vivobook and Expertbook series laptops. Three CPU variants were revealed here, being the Intel Core 3 100U, Intel Core 5 120U, and Intel Core 7 150U. These Non-Ultra processors have not been talked about much, but we finally have some details on them.
New Intel 14th Gen processors have come out. But, Intel is yet to release its non-K (locked) variants of Intel 14th Gen desktop processors. Now, various Intel 14th Gen processors have surfaced online. The new leak shows specs and preliminary pricing of i9-14900, i7-14700, i5-14500, i5-14400, and i3-14100 processors. The F variants of these CPUs have also been spotted here. The leaked specs show slightly lower clock speeds than K variants and an included stock cooler.
Intel ExtraSS is an upcoming frame generation technology. It is expected to be open source, since it was tested on Nvidia's RTX 3090 graphics card. Intel's method of achieving FG is a little different from AMD and Nvidia, which rely on interpolation. Intel's vision will use extrapolation instead, and as a result ExtraSS could have better latency than current FG methods which use interpolation. The technology is currently under development.
