Google, Intel and Microsoft form data protection consortium

[ad_1] Some of the early contributions include a Microsoft framework that helps you write code to run inside Trusted Execution Environments, an Intel framework for protecting code at the hardware level and a Red Hat tool that abstracts secure environments to the point where you can create and run private “serverless” apps. Appropriately, the Linux […]

Build the PC of your dreams… on PS4, Xbox and Switch

[ad_1] It also features a full-fledged story mode in which you, the player, take over your uncle’s repair shop. Think: Stardew Valley, but with a PC repair shop instead of a farm, and altogether less bucolic. It’s a classic started from the bottom tale in which one of the first tasks the player must complete […]

Are Intel’s 10nm Ice Lake CPUs worth the wait?

[ad_1] Welcome to the latest episode of Upscaled, our explainer show where we look at the parts that make our favorite tech faster. In this episode we’re testing Intel’s 10th gen, 10nm CPUs. Smaller transistors are one of the ways companies can speed up a chip, and Intel has been trying to get its transition […]

Apple buys the ‘majority’ of Intel’s smartphone modem business

[ad_1] The arrangement still gives Intel the ability to develop modems for computers, Internet of Things devices and self-driving cars. It’s not completely out of the cellular chipset business, then, it’s just scaling back. This will let the chip designer focus on 5G in spaces where it “most closely aligns” with what its customers want. […]

Apple in ‘advanced’ discussions to buy Intel’s modem division

[ad_1] We’ve asked both Apple and Intel for comment. There have been not-so-subtle hints this might happen. Apple poached Intel’s 5G leader weeks before the Qualcomm deal, for one thing. It has also signaled more than once that it wants to develop its own cellular chipsets between job listings and a decision to add jobs […]

Intel’s ultra-efficient AI chips can power prosthetics and self-driving cars

[ad_1] The Loihi chips are installed on a “Nahuku” board that contains from 8 to 32 Loihi chips. The Pohoiki Beach system contains multiple Nahuku boards that can be interfaced with Intel’s Arria 10 FPGA developer’s kit, as shown above. Pohoiki Beach will be very good at neural-like tasks including sparse coding, path planning and […]

Microsoft’s dual-screen tablet could run Android apps

[ad_1] According to IHS Markit’s “supply chain info,” the new Surface could have two 9-inch screens and a 4:3 aspect ratio, and it will reportedly use Windows Lite OS. We knew Intel was “working closely” with Windows on a foldable tablet, and IHS Markit claims this device will come with Intel’s 10-nanometer Lakefield processor. It’s […]

Intel’s Performance Maximizer tool overclocks CPUs with one click

[ad_1] This kind of tool isn’t anything new — AMD offers a similar one for its Ryzen processors — plus, it’s only compatible with a handful of 9th generation Core CPUs. Just six, in fact, including: Core i9-9900KF, Core i9-9900K, Core i7-9700KF, Core i7-9700K, Core i5-9600KF and Core i5-9600K. Like only a few other tools, […]

Pushing a 28-core CPU to its limits: 6GHz and beyond

[ad_1] The usual precautions apply. The motherboard has to be insulated with dielectric grease to fend off any accidental drops of water. Likewise, paper towel lines the gap between each memory slot, and then yet more paper towel wraps around the pot and memory sticks, to soak up condensation. A small fan helps blow the […]

Intel’s Project Athena laptops can sense when you’re near

[ad_1] All these laptops are attractive, thin and light devices that meet Athena requirements. That means they should deliver at least nine hours of battery life at a minimum level of brightness (250 nits), get up to four hours of power in 30 minutes of charging, and cost just slightly more than $800. They’ll also […]
