Intel is prepping to launch its second 10 core CPU for the consumer market, namely the Core i9-10850K aimed at gamers and enthusiasts. This will be the second Core i9 part of the Comet Lake-S lineup. At present, the Core i9-10900K is out of stock at most retailers with the price nearly twice as much at a few select stores that actually do have it.

AMD’s Ryzen 7 3700X was hands down the best consumer processor of 2019, period. Hell, it might as well have been the best CPU of the decade. With a package power draw of just about 65W, it matches the Core i7-10700K (a 250W CPU) in non-gaming workloads while trailing the Core i5-10600K by around ~10% in gaming all the while costing much less. It just doesn’t get better than that!

Earlier, we’d reported about Intel’s decision to delay its 7nm products by another year due to unresolved issues with its fabrication process. This was undeniably positive news for AMD, giving the company another year of exclusivity as the only CPU maker delivering 7nm x86 chips for desktop and mobility. Shortly after the Intel announcement, AMD’s shares soared, with the company gaining sixteen percent on NASDAQ at closing time. While AMD is only a fraction of Intel’s size in terms of overall market capitalization, Intel’s delay offers AMD a window of opportunity to further cement its process leadership.

The engineering sample of the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G bears the 100-1000000149 OPN code. Many engineering samples are out already and they have final clock speeds tested. Although, this sample does not feature the final clock speed and works on a 3.0 GHz base frequency and a 4.0 GHz boost-up frequency. The Ryzen 7 4700G and the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G officially work on 3.6 GHz base frequency and 4.45 GHz boost frequency for comparison. The final models are not standing on the expectations with the silicon that was used by the leaker. However, still, the general and graphics capabilities of the APU steals the show.

Intel has said its new 7-nanometer chip technology was six months behind schedule and it would consider farming out more work to outside semiconductor foundries, eroding a founding principle that manufacturing is key to its success. The setbacks will have little effect in the next few quarters but will cause a years-long domino effect, delaying chips meant to counter the rise of rivals AMD and Nvidia until late 2021 or even 2023.

Dell is one of the known brands out there when it comes to laptops and PCs. Although it is better known for its XPS line of slim and premium laptops, it has also carved its name in the gaming segment, both in India and globally. In India, it has the G-series and Alienware desktops and laptops to keep its grip intact in the entry-level and professional-level gaming segments. And both the portfolios got a boost recently with new G5 15, G3 15 and Alienware m15 R3 products.

Another research suggests that using Big Data coupled with AI, tasks like customer acquisition, job boards, candidate engagement, candidate experience and many more would be greatly dealt with by AI tools. For instance, it is estimated 56% of applicants have a negative impression of a company if they don’t hear back after submitting an application. Big data transformed retail, FMCG and other necessary sectors over last few years and now it is going to revolutionize how companies hire their resources.

Design can only do so much for semiconductor performance. The manufacturing step is crucial to ensuring these components can store more data, process information faster and use less energy. Combining the two helped Intel improve both sides of its operation for decades. However, Taiwan SemiconductorManufacturing Company has succeeded by just focusing on production and leaving the design to other companies. Its factories have passed Intel in capabilities. And that’s helped Intel rivals such as Advanced Micro Devices catch up on performance. AMD shares rose 11% Friday.

It’s pretty simple, an Amazon listing ideally means that the product in question is about to launch in India soon and this time we are talking about the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. Multiple listings of this product have been spotted on the e-commerce portal so it’s pretty much confirmed that this gaming laptop will be up for sale very soon. Reports from last week had indicated that Asus was about to launch an AMD-powered notebook soon and now we know it is the ROG Zephyrus G14.

Intel has been a major silicon giant in the business for decades now. It has huge market capitalization as they are in a variety of businesses but obviously their core business has always been its CPUs. After its recent confession that they will take another year to actually land their 7nm based CPUs, their arch-rival AMD saw a huge boost to its share value, with AMD shares gaining as much as 16% on NASDAQ. Both Intel’s woes and share gains seem to positive news for AMD.
