Researchers discover that Intel chips have an unfixable security flaw
[ad_1] The vulnerability is another in a string of Intel chip flaws that have damaged the chipmaker’s reputation of late. In 2018, Intel faced heavy criticism over the Meltdown and Spectre flaws in Intel chips that could have allowed attackers to steal data. CSME, which has its own 486-based CPU, RAM and boot ROM, is […]
Intel is losing against AMD
[ad_1] A rapid rise Ever since AMD launched the Zen architecture just over three years ago, it has progressed at a relentless pace. At the time, Intel’s $1,100 8-core i7-6900 seemed like it had all the cores you’d ever need. However, AMD moved the goalposts, unveiling the 8-core Ryzen 7 1800 at a much lower […]
Intel’s 10th-gen Core CPUs will let you game on ultraportables
[ad_1] The heart of the 10th-gen CPUs is Intel’s Sunny Cove architecture, which features a quad-core, eight-thread design and speeds up to 4.1GHz. In comparison, the 8th-gen i7-8565U scaled up to 4.6GHz, while the previous i5 and i3 CPUs topped out at 3.9 GHz. We don’t have the full breakdown of specs for the new […]
AMD’s third-gen Ryzen 9 CPU is a 12-core powerhouse for $499
[ad_1] All of AMD’s 3rd-gen Ryzen chips will feature its new Zen 2 architecture, a chiplet-based design that’ll offer a 15 percent performance improvement across every application. They’ll also have double the floating point performance and double the cache over its last CPUs. The 3900X features a base/boost speed of 3.68GHz/4.6GHz and 70MB of total […]
