When Lunar Lake processors appear in Q3, new Thread Director technology will attempt to pass all workloads through the new high-performing and power-efficient 'Skymont' Efficiency cores.

Intel's Senior Principal Engineer for P cores, Ori Lempel, gave a brief talk on the new ‘Lion Cove’ P cores explained why HyperThreading was no longer required.

Two more vulnerabilities in CPUs have surfaced this week, one in Intel hardware and the other in AMD's offerings.

Processor manufacturer Intel has reported second-quarter revenue of US$12.9 billion (A$19.41 billion), a fall of 15% year-on-year, in what is being interpreted as a good three months for the company given it is the smallest year-on-year drop in five quarters.

Processor manufacturer AMD has issued an advisory about a cross-process information leak in some of its hardware, that it rates to be of medium severity, following the release of details of the flaw by Google Information Security researcher Tavis Ormandy.

Processor specialist AMD's new Ryzen 6000 Series laptop processors combine the Zen 3+ core architecture with RDNA 2 architecture on-chip graphics.

Promising the "world's best processor for thin-and-light Windows laptops just got better", Intel's two new 11th-gen Core processors feature Intel Iris Xe graphics, Intel Wi-Fi 6/6E (Gig+) and Intel 5G Solution 5000.

Intel says its new processor is faster than AMD’s top Ryzen processor, but both companies series of processors, from the low-end to the high-end, are still challenged by Apple’s M-series processors, with the M1 soon to be augmented by an even more powerful M2.

After the last decade of mostly incremental changes and 7nm missteps, along with getting its butt seriously kicked by AMD, Intel's CEO Pat Gelsinger has announced an ‘IDM 2.0’ strategy for manufacturing, innovation and product leadership. Is Intel back?

The newest range of AMD's epic EPYC server processors, known for kicking Intel's butt, is launching in the US on March 15, which is a very early 2am start for Australians on March 16.

Computer processor firm AMD has reached an agreement to buy semiconductor manufacturer Xilinx for US$35 billion in an all-stock transaction as it seeks to take the fight to market leader Intel.

Finnish telecommunications equipment provider Nokia has joined with Tampere University to set up a so-called centre of excellence to help in developing system-on-chip custom processors for its ReefShark chipset portfolio.

AMD has announced the first AMD Ryzen mobile processors for Chromebooks, along with two new Athlons for Google's portable platform.

The coronavirus outbreak could cause around a US$42 billion revenue gap over the next 9 months for smart device vendors, according to a new global report.

An anticipated deal for processor maker Broadcom to buy security firm Symantec has fallen through due to the insistence of the latter on a price of US$28 per share, which was not acceptable to the former.

With Intel's processors in the news since January 2018 over CPU flaws, it should come as no surprise to see AMD urging government agencies and corporate bodies to "keep an open mind about their CPU and GPU options when purchasing their fleet of desktops, notebooks and servers".

Chip manufacturer AMD has taken a potshot at rival Intel, accusing the latter of forcing people to buy more expensive processors than they need in order to get the grunt for which they are looking, terming this impost the "Intel tax".

American semiconductor equipment Revasum hopes to pick up steam after listing on the ASX in December and says it is not fazed by the fact that its stock has not moved from the price it listed at: $1.70.

AMD's new Athlon processors, Athlon PRO processors, and 2nd Gen Ryzen PRO desktop processors "provide generational leap in performance, every day to enterprise-focused workloads, and unified Socket AM4 infrastructure", the company claims.
