In this demo video Intel is actually running some Ray Tracing, Sweet!

Intel has a new logo for the second generation of Core processors. I don't know about you guys but I'm curious to see what this Sandy Bridge can do. Maybe the logo should have been Green Fire! lol

In a positive spin Intel is diversifying their business and thinking outside the chip... So far however I'm not impressed with the buyout of McAfee.

We can't actually have AMD being more innovative than Intel now can we? lol

It's the day-after the honeymoon and how does Intel justify this unlikely marriage with McAfee? Like this...

When you wake up the next morning with an ugly chick on your arm, would you rather gnaw your own arm off or wake her up and pay $7.68 billion in McAfee stocks?

Many have tried and failed to challenge the tech giants Intel & AMD; however newcomer Lyric feels they have just the answer or at least the best guess.

32 cores, 128 threads, 8MB shared L2 cache, 1.20GHz

Intel is the most likely buyer for Infineon's wireless business now up for sale, though Broadcom is a better fit and Samsung is clearly interested, according to market watcher Will Strauss.

Infineon said earlier this week it is making progress in discussions to sell its wireless group which generated about $1.2 billion in sales last year. That represents about a third of total revenues at Infineon which is seeking to focus on its larger and more profitable automotive chip business.

Depends how much they pay us

Intel Executive Vice President David Perlmutter has bluntly told the Israeli government that however much it pays the chip maker to set up a new plant in Israel will decide if the project goes ahead.

Intel and Israel have had a long love affair of grants and establishing plants. At present the company is the country's largest private employer in the high-tech industry, with more than 7,000 employees, and it is also the largest exporter, with exports of two billion dollars in 2009.
