The world's largest chipmakers touted their most powerful processors at an industry gathering in San Francisco this week, but perhaps just as noteworthy was a high-profile no-show.
An independent security researcher has flagged plans to reveal a proof of concept security exploit that could work remotely against any machine using Intel processors, including those used in Apple's famously secure Macs.
After months of deriding rival AMD's strategy of cramming four cores onto one chip, Intel is set to take that concept two cores further.
Intel has been showing off a programming model which it claims will help C and C++ developers take advantage of a parallel computing without the need for any code changes.
The ability to connect practically all electronic devices to the Internet will unleash a burst of innovation and business opportunities that will rival the impact on personal computers, Intel CEO Paul Otellini has revealed.
Last week I had the chance to hear HP give their world view on why you should join them and Intel on Itanium for your next generation of servers.
In the world of processors, attention seems firmly focused on the fast-paced desktop and mobile markets. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing going on in server-land.
Multicore processors have been around since 2005, when Intel shipped its first dual-core processor and the advantages of many cores have been widely touted, but a working model for costing software to work with them is still on its way.
The average datacentre lasts between 15 and 20 years, so when the current generation of datacentres near the end of their working life, will their replacements be at all familiar?
Intel demonstrated two quad-core processors Tuesday in the United States, "Clovertown" for servers and "Kentsfield" for PCs, directing attention toward the future during a more troubled present.
Since Mac and Windows OSes now run on Intel-based hardware, shouldn't it be easy to run both on the same computer?
Presenting on the go? We look at 11 ultra-light projectors that take the drag out of presentations.
The wait is finally over for the ASUS Eee PC 1000, a notebook that promises to make a dent in the netbook market. It's the most well-equipped and largest in the Eee series and has cast aside the usability shackles of its diminutive predecessors.
The P4 strikes us as a good, reliable machine with plenty of features. Despite its conservative appearance there is modern technology inside, providing solid performance.
If you thought dual cores were over the top, get ready. Intel presents the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, a single CPU with four distinct processing cores. The first quad-core CPU will remain an enthusiast part for a while, but as a glimpse of the future, it's clear that clock speed is out and core counts are in.
