Intel is refreshing some of the 10th Generation Comet Lake-S “Celeron” processors

In a very surprise move it appears that Intel is refreshing and upgrading some of the ‘Celeron’ processors in the Comet Lake 10th gen CPU lineup. The discovery of two new unannounced Comet Lake-S Celeron processors certainly hints that a refresh is coming. Intel has not refreshed any of the Comet lake- S CPUs till now. Continue reading Intel is refreshing some of the 10th Generation Comet Lake-S “Celeron” processors

Intel’s Alder Lake-S iGPU has been spotted in “SiSoftware” database with 32 execution units/EUs

Intel’s next generation of Alder Lake-S Core processors are said to be the company’s first 10nm mainstream desktop processors, and we have already seen documents, datasheets, and release notes for these CPUs which also appeared on Intel’s own developer website. These processors have been confirmed to support a new LGA1700 socket. Continue reading Intel’s Alder Lake-S iGPU has been spotted in “SiSoftware” database with 32 execution units/EUs

Linux creator ‘Linus Torvalds’ speaks about the lack of support of AVX-512 on Intel’s Alder Lake-S CPUs

Just few days ago I explained in one article about the lack of AVX-512 instruction support on Intel’s next-gen Alder Lake-S CPUs. Now, Linux and Git creator Linus Torvalds has commented on this, and shared his own views on the AVX-512 instruction set (Advanced Vector Extensions 512) found on select Intel processors. Continue reading Linux creator ‘Linus Torvalds’ speaks about the lack of support of AVX-512 on Intel’s Alder Lake-S CPUs

Intel is finally retiring its 9th Gen Core-X ‘Skylake-X’ series of CPUs, giving them an End-of-Life/EOL status

Intel has recently issued a new product change notification (PCN) in which the company has announced the discontinuation of its 9th Gen Core X series “Skylake-X” HEDT processors. The new PCH applies to all the Skylake-X processors based on the ‘LGA2066’ socket as well as the Xeon W-2000 series workstation processors, which also use the same socket, and are based on a similar IP.

Intel’s Alder Lake-S CPUs won’t support the AVX-512 instruction, which further confirms the use of ARM’s big.LITTLE design

Intel’s 12th next generation of Alder Lake-S Core processors are said to be the company’s first 10nm mainstream desktop processors, and we have already seen documents, datasheets, and release notes for these CPUs which also appeared on Intel’s own developer website. These processors have been confirmed to support a new LGA1700 socket. This socket will have support for at least three generations of Intel CPUs. Continue reading Intel’s Alder Lake-S CPUs won’t support the AVX-512 instruction, which further confirms the use of ARM’s big.LITTLE design

Intel’s Core i7 ‘Rocket Lake-S’ CPU lineup rumored to feature an uneven ‘8 core 12 thread’ configuration

Rocket Lake (RKL) is a planned microarchitecture designed by Intel as a direct successor to the Comet Lake-S series of desktop CPUs and high-performance mobile devices. These were expected to hit the market by the end of this year, but the roadmap from Intel paints a different picture. Continue reading Intel’s Core i7 ‘Rocket Lake-S’ CPU lineup rumored to feature an uneven ‘8 core 12 thread’ configuration

Intel is finally retiring its ‘Gemini Lake’ family of CPUs, giving them an End-of-Life/EOL status

Intel has finally decided to discontinue the Gemini Lake series of third-generation low-power SoC processors. This move is not unexpected though, since Intel already introduced the updated Gemini Lake Refresh chips back in October last year.
