The Hot Take: New P-Cores and bus, sounds like Intel is trying to innovate again. Which is good for all of us, healthy competition will help bring/keep prices down for CPUs at least.
Intel has officially confirmed its next-gen Xeon 7 Diamond Rapids CPUs are coming in 2027, featuring 50% higher core counts and twice the memory bandwidth of Xeon 6 in a bid to compete against AMD’s upcoming EPYC Venice CPUs.

The Hot Take: CISC monsters coming from owner of the x86 ISA.
COMPUTEX 2026 Intel’s upcoming Diamond Rapids Xeon will boost core counts to 192, a 50 percent increase over last generation, the x86 giant revealed at Computex in Taipei this week. But while core counts continue to rise, in doing so Intel has managed to cut thread counts by a quarter. Yep, Hyperthreading – Intel's marketing for simultaneous multithreading – is officially dead. Intel first added support for SMT all the way back in 2002. The technology boosted utilization by enabling two threads to harness idle execution units during a single…

The Hot Take: We'll see where glass takes us, it's an interesting change for sure.
Intel Foundry is leading the race towards Glass Substrates with its Rio Rancho facility, aiming to become the world's first to initiate mass production. Glass Substrates Are The Future of Semiconductors & Intel Foundry is Well on Its Way To Become The First To Initiate Mass Production Glass Core substrates have been gaining interest, as they have several benefits over traditional organic substrate solutions. The current substrates are also facing shortages due to the AI supercycle, leading one of the biggest substrate suppliers, Ajinomoto,…

The Hot Take: Performance and less hybrid coming back to x86.
Intel's next-generation desktop platform is apparently going to persist for approximately three and a half full CPU generations if you include the mobile-only Titan Lake. That's just one of the major details released by serial leaker Moore's Law is Dead in a new video that also includes the claims that upcoming Intel CPUs will not only skip

The Hot Take: NICE, Intel you can send me samples too! :D
Intel’s next desktop CPU family is apparently hitting shipping lanes, albeit as early engineering samples. Nova Lake is expected to be a much bolder reset than merely a routine refresh and could become Intel’s most aggressive swing at the high-end PC market in years, with performance claims that sound almost exaggerated until you remember

The Hot Take: APU's competition starting to heat up for that Ai dollar.
Intel's next-generation Razor Lake-AX chips will compete directly against AMD's Medusa Halo while featuring on-package memory. Intel Is Bringing Back On-Package Memory With Its Next-Gen Razor Lake-AX Chips That Fight Against AMD's Medusa Halo On-Package Memory was last used by Intel for its Lunar Lake SoCs. These SoCs were aimed at low-power mobile platforms, and while the chips themselves offered solid performance in a 30W budget, Intel's next on-package memory solution will be a big one. As per Haze2K1 on X, Intel Razor Lake-AX SoCs will…
