Intel made interim Chief Executive Officer Robert Swan's role permanent on Thursday, marking the first time the chipmaker has picked a leader who did not rise through the company ranks, sending Intel shares down and boosting rivals.

Intel's patent is so detailed that Lets Go Digital managed to create concept images showing the device in action.

Intel will receive a grant of about $1 billion from the Israeli government for its latest investment plan to expand its chip manufacturing operations in the country, Israel's finance minister said on Tuesday.

Intel's fourth-quarter revenue was light, as was its revenue forecast for 2019

The Oregonian reported that the company plans to expand its Oregon factory, D1X, to prep for the 7nm shift.

Apple considered tapping Samsung Electronics and MediaTek along with existing vendor Intel to supply modem chips for 2019 iPhones, according to an Apple executive's testimony at the trial between Qualcomm and the US Federal Trade Commission on Friday.

Intel said on Monday at the CES in Las Vegas that it is working with Facebook to finish a new artificial intelligence chip in the second half of this year.

This sounds like good news for shareholders.

Amazon does not plan to sell this chip directly to customers, but the decision by one of the world's biggest buyers of computer processors to go the do-it-yourself route is likely to have a major impact on Intel, the iconic Silicon Valley chip maker.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is poised to secure a crucial order from IBM for premium server chips, validating the company as a serious challenger to global chipmaker Intel in the high-value data center market.

An earlier 5G-only modem, the XMM 8060, "is becoming a development platform" rather than a commercial product, said an Intel spokeswoman. Thus Intel "will miss the 2019 5G launches, but it is targeting large-scale rollouts from customers such as Apple and [partner] Spreadtrum," said Malik Saadi, vice president of strategic technologies for market watcher ABI Research.

A report from Fast Company says that Apple will go ahead with using Intel modems for the first 5G iPhone, set to launch in 2020.

Intel's exclusive deal to provide modem chips for new iPhones has strained its ability to supply such longtime personal computer partners as Taiwan's Acer and Asustek Computer, which face shortages of a key component heading into the year-end shopping season, industry sources said.

Intel said its making progress on improving 10nm yields and reiterated its pledge to have 10nm chips shipping by the 2019 holiday season.

Intel is denying a new report that claims the chipmaker is abandoning its 10 nanometer manufacturing process following years of delays.

Taiwanese PC giants, such as Acer, Asustek Computer, Compal Electronics and Quanta Computer might expect setbacks in production due to the CPU shortage.

Amid struggles to deliver its 10nm technology, the technology and manufacturing group will be split into three parts.

AMD's steady climb in CPU market share thanks to its second-generation Ryzen processors is becoming even more apparent as we head into the closing months of 2018. We've been following this trend via sales data from Mindfactory (as compiled by Redditor Ingebor), which showed AMD with a 45 percent share in June, at parity with Intel in July, and slightly overtaking the company in August with a 51 percent share.

The company announced Monday at the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) that samples of its silicon photonics transceivers targeting 5G wireless infrastructure and data centers are available now, with production set to start in the first quarter of 2019

The filing is the latest salvo in that dispute, designed to put pressure on Apple to settle.

Intel has begun narrowing its search for a new chief executive officer and could bring in an outsider to lead the world's second-biggest chipmaker for the first time.

This is the latest report from Jon Peddie Research on the GPUs used in PCs. It is reporting on the results of Q2'18 GPU shipments worldwide. Overall GPU shipments decreased -1.5% from last quarter, AMD decreased -12.3%, Nvidia decreased -7% and Intel, increased 3%.

ICE TECH is one of China's leading companies in AI algorithms and chip technologies.

ARM's now-public roadmap represents its first processors that are designed for the PC space. ARM claims its chips will equal and potentially even surpass Intel's in single-threaded performance.

Intel on Tuesday disclosed three more possible flaws in some of its microprocessors that can be exploited to gain access to certain data from computer memory.

As PC sales have stagnated, Intel has increasingly been depending on its sales to data centers.

Apple this morning released a new supplemental update to macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, which is designed to address a bug that caused the new eighth-generation quad-core and 6-core Intel processors in the 2018 MacBook Pro models to throttle inappropriately.

Intel Corporation today announced that its board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share ($1.20 per share on an annual basis) on the company's common stock. The dividend will be payable on Sept. 1, 2018, to stockholders of record on Aug. 7, 2018.

Last week, Apple announced new versions of its 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models with Touch Bar. Perhaps most notable is the new power that is now available with the 15-inch, including the Intel Core i9 processor. A new video, however, raises concerns about whether or not the MacBook Pro can handle the heat of the i9 processor.

Intel's market leadership in the semiconductor industry may be at risk, according to Evercore ISI. The firm lowered its rating to in line from outperform for Intel shares, saying the search for the company's next CEO will add to investor uncertainty.

There are so many ironies in the hardware business that it is amazing that we aren't covered in rust. One irony is that after decades of socket compression in the datacenter, the time of the single socket server may have returned. And if it does, it will be largely AMD's doing with the Epyc line of X86 chips, which were created to give no-holds-barred performance sufficient to knock out a slew of two socket Xeon machinery in the datacenter.

There is a rumor going around that Intel is getting ready to kill its "Extreme Edition" branding that it uses for certain high-end desktop (HEDT) processors. It was put out there by Francois Piednoel, a former Intel chip architect who worked at the company for two decades, who called the decision a "big mistake." Maybe it would be, but Intel is not axing the Extreme Edition brand.

While Intel has yet to detail its upcoming Cascade Lake processors for servers, some of the key characteristics are beginning to emerge. According to a new report from ServeTheHome, some of the new chips will support up to 3.84 TB of memory per socket, double the amount supported by contemporary Skylake-based Xeon Platinum M-series CPUs that support 1.5 TB of DDR4, due to combining 512 GB Optane DIMMs and 128GB DDR4 DIMMs. For a dual socket system, this rises to up to 7.68 TB per node.

Intel could avoid the most severe effects of a new list of Chinese tariffs proposed by US President Donald Trump by shifting its production among its facilities, analysts said Monday.

Intel has started production of modem chips that will go into Apple's upcoming iPhones later this year, while the US semiconductor company continues to eye markets beyond personal computers and pledges to take the lead in fifth generation, or 5G, wireless communication after 2019.

Intel wants to compete with AMD's Radeon and Nvidia's GeForce products

Semiconductor Manufacturing International (SMIC), China's top state-backed contract chipmaker, has placed an order for one set of extreme-ultraviolet lithography equipment, according to people familiar with the matter.

Intel announced the appointment of yet another big-name chip architect and provided more evidence that its multi-year quest to diversify beyond the PC is finally paying dividends. But the company also pushed volume production of 10-nm chips from late this year to next year, saying that progress in improving yields is slower than expected.
