There will also be models on regular Core Yesterday we learned that laptops with Intel Meteor Lake processors can be quite affordable , and today the characteristics of the entire line of Samsung Galaxy Book 4 appeared on the Internet. [caption id="attachment_82438" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung Galaxy Book 4[/caption] The Windows Report resource has declassified the Galaxy Book 4, Galaxy Book 4 360, Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360, Galaxy Book 4 Pro and Galaxy Book 4 Ultra models. These new products will be built on both energy-efficient CPUs and productive ones. More precisely, you will find at least Core 5 120U, Core Ultra 7 155U and Core Ultra 9 185H. However, we recall that the Core 5 120U will belong to the Raptor Lake Refresh line, since Meteor Lake models are always designated as Core Ultra. However, it is possible that basic Samsung laptops will be available with Meteor Lake. Up to Core Ultra 9 and RTX 4070 Laptop. Samsung Galaxy Book 4 laptops declassified [caption id="attachment_82439" align="alignnone" width="780"] Samsung Galaxy Book 4[/caption] As for the rest, all laptops will be lightweight (from 1.26 to 1.86 kg), base models will have only 8 GB of RAM, battery capacity will vary from 54 to 76 Wh, and charging will range from 45 to 140 W . In addition, the top model will have a discrete graphics card in the form of the RTX 4070 Laptop. Names the source and prices. The base Galaxy Book 4 will cost around $1,000, and if we talk about Meteor Lake models, the Book 4 Pro will start at $1,450.

Now with Core i5-12500H Huawei has updated its all-in-one MateStation X 2023, making it cheaper at the same time. [caption id="attachment_79585" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei with Intel processor[/caption] Instead of the original Core i9-12900H, with which the PC was originally released at the end of last year, the updated version is equipped with a less powerful Core i5-12500H. But this PC is cheaper: $1,300 versus $1,780. Huawei with Intel processor and large screen. Introduced cheaper all-in-one MateStation X 2023 At the same time, there is 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, like the older modification of the original version. The remaining parameters remained unchanged. This primarily concerns the large 28-inch screen with a resolution of 3840 x 2560 pixels and an aspect ratio of 3:2. True, the frame rate remained normal (60 Hz). The rest includes stereo speakers, a webcam, a Wi-Fi 6 adapter, two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1.

This is the Emerald Rapids generation The first leak has appeared on the Internet regarding the new Emerald Rapids generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, which will be presented on December 14 along with Meteor Lake . [caption id="attachment_79561" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel processor[/caption] The flagship Xeon Platinum 8592+ has been revealed, which will offer 64 cores, which does not yet look particularly impressive compared to AMD’s 96-core monsters. And relative to Sapphire Rapids, this is an increase of only 4 cores. All cores, by the way, will be large. Technically, these are Raptor Cove cores, like the current Raptor Lake. The new CPU will receive 320 MB of third-level cache. The total with the L2 cache is already 448 MB. This will be one of the main improvements over the current generation Xeon Scalable. [caption id="attachment_79562" align="aligncenter" width="760"] Intel processor[/caption] The peak power of this Intel processor can reach 922W. 64-core Xeon Platinum 8592+ appeared on the Internet The test sample had frequencies of 1.9-3.9 GHz, and all cores can simultaneously operate at 2.5 GHz. The production CPU is expected to operate at frequencies of 2.0-4.0 GHz. The power limits PL1 and PL2 are 350 and 420 W, respectively. The peak reaches 764 W, but the CPU can be configured so that the value reaches 922 W. [caption id="attachment_79563" align="aligncenter" width="483"] Intel processor[/caption] The test copy in the CPU-Z benchmark scored 610 and 25,741 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively, but the result is not very good, which is apparently due to the unavailability of the software.

6-seater cars will begin transporting passengers in central Tokyo in 2026 Honda Motor Company has announced that it plans to launch a self-driving taxi service in Japan along with Cruise and General Motors (GM). The joint venture will be created by the partners in 2024, and the driverless taxi service itself should start operating in 2026. First, driverless taxis will transport passengers in the center of Tokyo, and then beyond. [caption id="attachment_71932" align="aligncenter" width="612"] Self-driving taxis[/caption] To transport passengers, a Cruise Origin car will be used without a driver's seat and steering wheel; the interior of this vehicle can accommodate up to 6 people. At first, the service will be launched with several dozen cars, and then their number will increase to 500. Passengers will be able to order an unmanned taxi using a mobile application and pay for the service there. Honda and General Motors will launch self-driving taxis in Japan [caption id="attachment_71933" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Self-driving taxis[/caption] It is known that Cruise Origin cars have level 4 autonomy, that is, they can move without a driver if a number of conditions are met. According to international standards, there are 5 levels of car autonomy: the first involves only a little automatic assistance to the driver - this could be, for example, an autonomous emergency braking system; Level 5 is a fully self-driving car. In April of this year, a law came into force in Japan allowing the movement of driverless cars with Level 4 autonomy in some cases.

New products are faster than their predecessors The first results of testing Core i5-14600 and Core i3-14100 processors have appeared on the Internet. The first includes six large cores and eight small ones, while the second has only four large ones. The frequencies in the same order are 2.7–5.2 GHz and 3.5–4.7 GHz.  [caption id="attachment_71920" align="aligncenter" width="780"] i5-14600[/caption] So far there are results only in Geekbench, but they allow you to understand the difference between the new products and the previous generation.   Core i3-14100 without small cores appeared in tests for the first time along with the Core i5-14600 Specifically, in Geekbench, the younger processor scored 2509 and 8881 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively, while the results of the older one were 2785 and 16,110 points.  [caption id="attachment_71921" align="aligncenter" width="686"] i5-14600[/caption] Since the results in multi-threaded mode are more important, we note that the result of the Core i5-14600 is higher than that of the Core i5-13600K and close to the Core i5-14600K. The result of the Core i3-14100 is significantly higher than that of the Core i3-13100, but still, the Core i5-13400 remains far ahead.

The difference is minimal An Intel slide from the presentation of the new 14th-generation Core processors has leaked online. The slide demonstrates the gaming performance of the new CPUs. More precisely, it compares the new Intel flagship in the form of the Core i9-14900K and the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. [caption id="attachment_64924" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Core i9-14900K[/caption] The Core i9-14900K will be one of the best gaming processors. The new Intel product turns out to be on average 2% faster, although in some games the advantage of a particular CPU can reach 20% or more. Considering that in TechPowerUp tests the Ryzen 9 7950X3D shows identical gaming performance to the Core i9-13900K, Intel’s data regarding the new flagship seems as plausible as possible. At the same time, as always, the final result greatly depends on the choice of games, so different sources can see slightly different results. Let us remind you that Intel will announce new CPUs on October 14, and initially, apparently, only older models with an unlocked multiplier will be presented to us.

The announcement of new CPUs is expected in October The Intel Core i7-14700KF processor appeared in Geekbench 6, where it showed an excellent result compared to its predecessor.  [caption id="attachment_60432" align="aligncenter" width="524"] Core i9-13900K[/caption] The new product scores almost 3,100 points in single-threaded mode and almost 21,200 points in multi-threaded mode. In the second case, this is close to the result of the Core i9-13900KS and higher than the result of the Core i9-13900K, which is unexpected, since the new product has fewer cores and a lower frequency. In comparison with the Core i7-13700K, there is an increase of 20%. However, the secret here is simple: the processor has been overclocked. It operated at 6 GHz versus the native 5.6 GHz. That is, out of the box the Core i7-14700K/KF will offer slightly lower performance, but now it’s clear what can be achieved with minor overclocking.  Core i7-14700KF, which is faster than Core i9-13900K [caption id="attachment_60433" align="aligncenter" width="415"] Core i9-13900K[/caption] The new product will have 8 large and 12 small cores, while its predecessor has 8 large and 8 small cores. Core i7 in all variations will be the only processor in the Raptor Lake Refresh line, whose number of cores will increase compared to its predecessor. In other cases, we will only talk about increasing frequencies.

And by the time the CPU is officially released, performance may be even higher One of the first devices based on the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H mobile processor was tested on Geekbench. The result was very good: this Meteor Lake CPU scored approximately the same points as the current flagship Core i9-13900H. [caption id="attachment_60349" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel Core Ultra 7 165H[/caption] At the same time, several points should be noted: firstly, testing was carried out in the “Balanced” power mode and not “Maximum performance”, and secondly, by the time of the official release, CPU performance may be higher. Intel Core Ultra 7 165H with a frequency of 5 GHz demonstrates excellent performance in Geekbench [caption id="attachment_60350" align="aligncenter" width="441"] Intel Core Ultra 7 165H[/caption] Now a little about the characteristics. Intel Core Ultra 7 165H - 16-core 22-thread processor. High-performance cores (6) - Redwood Cove, energy-efficient - Crestmon (8 in number). But that's only 14 - where are the other two? The fact is that 14 cores are in the CPU chipset, and two more energy-efficient ones are in the SoC chipset; they will be used for tasks that require minimal computing power. The volume of third-level cache memory is 24 MB, and CPU frequencies are 3.8–5.0 GHz. TDP - from 15 to 28 W. In Geekbench 6.1, performance was 2502 points in the single-threaded test and 12,545 points in the multi-threaded test. For comparison: the performance of the Core i9-13900H is 2450 and 12800 points, respectively.

Although it's unclear why The Core i5-14600K processor appeared in the latest Cinebench 2024 benchmark. The result is unexpectedly noticeably higher than that of the Core i5-13600K, although these processors are almost completely identical. [caption id="attachment_56242" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Core i5-13600K[/caption] The new product scores 124 and 1430 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively. This is respectively 8% and 14% higher than the previous model. For comparison: in Cinebench R23 there is a 3% increase only in multi-threaded mode. The Core i5-14600K significantly outperforms the Core i5-13600K in the new test [caption id="attachment_56243" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Core i5-13600K[/caption] Let us remind you that technically we are talking about the same CPU, only the new product has a frequency of 200 MHz higher. It is still unclear where the difference of 14% comes from, especially given the lack of difference in the other version of the benchmark. However, this gives hope that in several other applications, Raptor Lake Refresh processors will look better compared to their predecessors. Let us remind you that the older new items in the line will be presented on October 17.

Frequency reaches 6GHz The Core i9-14900K processor lit up in the CPU-Z test, which confirms its characteristics, and at the same time allows you to compare the new product with its predecessor. [caption id="attachment_51251" align="aligncenter" width="780"] new Intel CPU[/caption] The new CPU will indeed be an almost complete copy of the Core i9-13900K. The same 24 cores, the same amount of cache memory, but the frequency will increase to 6 GHz, that is, by 200 MHz.  Not 3%, but as much as 8-10% of the increase in the new Intel CPU. In the benchmark, the CPU scores 978 and 18,118 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively. Thus, the new product is 8-10% faster than its predecessor. This is not bad, considering the almost identical parameters, but you need to understand that in real applications the gain may be less. But relative to the Core i9-12900K, the increase reaches a much more impressive 19% and 59%, depending on the mode. Let us remind you that the Raptor Lake Refresh line is expected in October.   [caption id="attachment_51254" align="aligncenter" width="780"] new Intel CPU[/caption]

These are specialized solutions for network infrastructure In just a few weeks, Intel will release Meteor Lake processors, which, among other things, will be the company’s first-born, produced using the Intel 4 technical process. However, another company beat Intel itself and was the first to present its chips created using the same technical process. They were Ericsson RAN Compute. [caption id="attachment_84939" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel 4 process[/caption] Ericsson announced new RAN Compute These, of course, are not classic CPUs, but specialized solutions for network infrastructure, but the very fact that Ericsson has surpassed Intel is quite interesting. However, for Intel’s IDM 2.0 strategy, within which the processor giant also wants to become a semiconductor manufacturing giant, this is rather a plus. It doesn’t make much sense to say anything about RAN Compute chips from a technical point of view, but it’s still worth noting that, according to the company itself, the high-performance RAN Processor 6672 and Radio Processor 6372 processors provide four times greater performance compared to the previous generation and can support up to six 4G and 5G modes in one device. In addition, the new chips consume 30–60% less energy, which is likely due in large part to the new technical process.

For free Bitsum has released the CoreDirector application, which allows you to optimize the performance of Intel processors with small cores.  [caption id="attachment_83317" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel processors[/caption] To make small cores of Intel processors work normally. It is essentially a thread scheduler that allows the user to configure the CPU to force small CPU cores to be used or not used in the selected application. Of course, we are talking about 12th generation Core processors and newer, which generally have these small cores.  The software is very simple. In fact, it has only three operating modes: small cores are forcibly disabled, forcibly enabled, or their control is given to the OS to a greater extent - this is a kind of hybrid mode.

Gelsinger isn't shy about criticizing his company. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger spoke about three big mistakes and failures of the company. [caption id="attachment_79812" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Intel[/caption] The head of Intel called processors for smartphones the first such failure. Recall that Intel has been releasing Atom platforms for Android smartphones for some time, and these platforms have generally been quite competitive. They never became widespread, but there were even flagships based on Atom. True, the story did not last long. The first smartphone with such a SoC was released in 2012, and the direction was closed in 2016. These are three huge mistakes and failures of Intel. Gelsinger also believes that Intel was wrong to abandon plans to create graphics processors focused on computing. More precisely, we are initially talking about the Larrabee line, which was canceled just after Gelsinger left Intel in 2010. The project later became Xeon Phi, but with much less ambition. Soon it was closed too. Gelsinger notes that Intel would not have had to subsequently buy five different AI companies if the Larrabee project had continued to be developed. The third point concerns the semiconductor business. Now Intel is actively developing it, trying to become a major market player together with TSMC and Samsung, and also promising that it will master five technical processes in four years, but the head of the company believes that it was necessary to start much earlier. However, in this case the company is at least actively working in this direction.

In total, growth is promised in 17 games Intel has released another graphics driver for its Arc video cards, which once again significantly increased performance in a number of games. The increase, depending on the game, can be a modest 6%, or even 53%, as in the case of Returnal and Guild Wars 2. [caption id="attachment_79575" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel[/caption] Miracles of optimization from Intel. But that's nothing compared to the results for Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Intel says that when running DirectX 11 mode in Full HD resolution, performance increases by 750%! This once again shows the importance of optimization for modern video cards. In total, driver 31.0.101.4952 improves performance in 17 games, and in only two the increase is less than 10%.
