Intel dishes on Tiger Lake, 'SuperFin' transistors and what lies ahead
Intel has spent the past decade refining its FinFET transistor technology, starting with its Ivy Bridge CPUs in 2012. Now, Intel is ready for its next big architecture leap, SuperFin, its name for a refined FinFET process combined with a "super metal insulator metal capacitor." For users, that mouthful means that Intel has been able to deliver its biggest speed improvement ever within a single node (in this case, its 10 nanometer architecture).
Intel's discrete Xe GPU for gamers is coming in 2021
Intel's Xe GPU for gamers will arrive in 2021.
Intel's first discrete GPU is built for developers
At its CES 2020 keynote, Intel showed off its upcoming Xe discrete graphics chip and today, we're seeing exactly how that's going to be implemented. First off, Intel unveiled a standalone DG1 "software development vehicle" card that will allow developers to optimize apps for the new graphics system. It didn't reveal any performance details for the card, but did show it running the Warframe game. It also noted that it's now "sampling to ISVs (independent software vendors) worldwide... enabling developers to optimize for Xe."
