Intel Compares 15W AMD Cezanne SKUs w/ 28W Tiger Lake-U Refresh at Computex 2021edit
Intel made another marketing blunder during its Computex 2021 Keynote. Comparing its newly launched Tiger Lake-U refresh to AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800U APU, it was demonstrated that the latter performs 15-30% better than the latter, but there’s a catch. The Core i7-1195G7 draws nearly twice as much power as the stock TDP rating of the Cezanne SoC. While the Ryzen 5000U processors have a TDP of just 15W, the competing Tiger Lake-U lineup comes with a TDP of 28W, with some vendors expected to increase it to 35W in premium designs.

Intel Sapphire Rapids-SP Delayed to 2022 as Chip Production Grows by 2x in the Last Four Yearsedit
During Intel’s Computex 2021 press conference, it was revealed that the 4th Gen Xeon Scalable processors, otherwise known as Sapphire Rapids will now be launched in the first half of 2022 instead of late 2021. This is despite the fact that multiple company execs had stated in the past that the next-gen server processors would launch by the end of 2021. This is likely the result of limited 10nm production which will become Intel’s primary process node in the second half of the year.

How secrecy on cybersecurity is giving hackers an advantageedit
Business is booming for cyber extor- tionists. DarkSide, a hacking group that shut down a key US oil pipeline in May, has collected over $90 million recently in hard-to-trace Bitcoin from 47 victims, according to the analytics firm Elliptic. That hack ended after Colonial Pipeline paid nearly $5 million in ransom to regain control of systems needed to sup- ply gasoline to eastern US, and was widely dubbed a ‘wake-up call’ to batten down loose digital hatches. After the subsequent executive order on cybersecurity from US President Joe Biden, regulation is expected to tighten. But there are key gaps.
