Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “I pray this works… – Intel CES 2022”.
We’Ve been through all the stages of GPU shortage grief, and now we just don’t feel anything anymore. But who’s. This sliding into my DMS Concrete news about dedicated intel arc GPU’s. This could be our salvation.
Holy crap., There’s a whole bunch of other, really good stuff in here. Dang.. Now, what we know is intel is shaking things up in a big way., But the question is: can intel deliver a competitive product with enough supply to make 2022 a better year than 2021? I have got some thoughts and I’ve got a segue to our sponsor GlassWire.
GlassWire lets you see past and present network activity, detect malware on your PC or Android device and block its connections to prevent things from getting worse. Use, offer code Linus for 25 % off At the link down below. ( upbeat music ), The whole gaming industry has been waiting with bated breath for arcs, since it was still called XeDG2 and we are going to have to wait a little longer.. But the big news today is that it’s close.
Intel is already shipping like now arc GPU’s to OEMs, who are going to be integrating them in both desktop and mobile, designs. And they’re, expecting more than 50 new arc power, desktops and laptops right out of the gate. And before you groan about not even wanting an intel GPU, it’s worth remembering a couple of things. First, is that this ain’t, your grandma’s intel HD graphics. Over the last 10 years, Intel has improved their GPU hardware and drivers by leaps and bounds to the point where We’Re actually getting, I dare say kind of hopeful.
And second, is that arc ain’t, some reheated 14 nanometer plus plus plus., It’s based on TSMC’s and six process, which is currently only used by AMD’s new mobile radeons and APUs as far as GPU capacity goes.. So we are tapping fresh supply of a cutting edge node.. That is good news for GPU availability.. Even if you don’t care about intels, not only that but intel showed off deep link, a technology that allows an intel integrated GPU to work alongside arc dedicated graphics, to accelerate a task that would otherwise be limited to one GPU.. Their example used to davinci resolve to encode a video stream using deep link hypering code, which dramatically improves export times using what they’re calling next generation quick sync video, technology.
Deep link allows for power sharing too between the CPU and GPU.. This is similar to AMD smart shift max and invidious max Q, dynamic boost., But only AMD can match Intel’s platform scale control over the CPU GPU and chip set to fully optimize it., And that’s not all the new GPS can do. Intel has confirmed that death stranding Director’S cut is gon na, be among the first titles to support their new XCSS AI up-scaling algorithm.. In principle, it works very similarly to how invidious deep learning super sampling does. By training a neural network with a dataset that is tailored to computer graphics. Then running the game on your local computer at a lower resolution, then upscaling it using the GPU’s AI accelerators., which intel is calling XMX or Xe Matrix, eXtentions. Painful, naming aside.. This means that, while early indicators are that the first arc, GPU codename Alchemist, will be a modest mid range offering., It may be able to punch above its weight class, especially compared to AMD’s radeon products which are using a non AI.
Accelerated super sampling technique called fidelity effects, super resolution.. If that’s true, then it means we will finally have some disruptive competition in the GPU space likely got with AMD ryzen family in the CPU space. And speaking of CPUs Intel’s, launching some new ones of those two starting with the quora 9 12 900 K S.. Now they didn’t spend much time talking about it, but it is apparently shipping to OEMs by the end of the quarter. And supposedly will reach 5.5 gigahertz single-threaded and over five gigahertz, all core.. On the surface, this one’s actually a bit of a head-scratcher, seeing as they just launched the 12 900 K non-S.. But if you think about it for a moment, it’s clear that Intel is releasing this so soon, specifically to respond to AMD Ryzen 7 5800×3. These claim to be the world’s fastest gaming CPU.
competition is great., Isn’t it And from what we’ve seen of 12th gen core, this keeps spending. Skew might actually be worth buying for enthusiasts. This time., That is assuming you’ve got the cooling to handle it. We’re gon na.
Have to see the performance and cost for ourselves not to mention power consumption before making a final judgment call., And that’s not the only desktop CPU that Intel’s launching. Non-K Alder lake is finally upon us with half the maximum base power at 65 Watts or less.. So, unlike the KS, these chips are expected to be a lot Tamer on the heat output, despite sharing most of the same specs as their K. Counterparts.. It’S worth mentioning too that, while 12th gen K series CPU’s will turbo basically forever.. These non-KS have the same turbo duration limits as previous generation CPU’s., So there’s even more of a difference for K chips compared to non-K chips.
Now. And it’ll be really interesting to see how these end up performing in the real world., Particularly the core i5, whose K cousin has already become a go-to for mid-range builders.. These new chips are coming alongside new chip sets, obviously H670 B660 and H610. All have wifi6E and ram. Overclocking is supported on all, but the age 610., But the primary differentiator between H670 and B660 being the amount of available IO. B660 has half the number of DMI 4.0 lanes to connect to the CPU..
So consequently, these boards will have a lot fewer ports because of the overall lower bandwidth available to the chip. Set. PCIE raid support is also not available on B660, but none of this is a major concern for small form factor builds.. So I can see these being a popular way to reduce costs there, given that the other capabilities are on par. For non over clockers 8670 looks like a great alternative to Z690. And it feels good to be able to say that., So big props to AMD for Getting intel back on the rails, here. Big props, to our merchant team too, by the way.. Look at this thing basically indestructable and comes in 14 freaking colors..
How awesome is that And you can get a water bottle, while you’re at it. It’ll keep your drink cool.. Now intel thinks their new laminar CPU coolers are gon na, be cool too. With the RH one, bundled with core i9 featuring RGB lighting of all things.. That is how you know Intel is under new leadership.. When was the last time you saw Intel do anything with RGB that wasn’t a skull Kenyan Knuck..
Now these things don’t look super different from the typical intel stock coolers that we all know and hate., But we’re going to withhold judgment until after we’ve tested them and get subscribed, because we will totally be doing that.. Finally, intel gave us the low down on 12th gen mobile, which has broken out into three product stacks with a total of 28 processors.. The enthusiast H series, the ultra late U-series and the mid range P-series.. Only the H series will have core i9 skews., But, unlike the desktop chips, you are capped at six performance cores.
Alongside the eight efficiency cores., Making the core i9 the same as the core i7. It even shares the same 45 watt maximum base power.. Is it pointless? Maybe not. These higher core clocks could result in real-world performance differences. Only time and laptop manufacturers integrations into their products will tell us the true story. Dropping down to the new P-series core i7 is similar in spec, except for bass, frequencies.
And the base power cap is a mere 28 Watts, with 64 Watts available for boost.. I’M really glad that intel is providing these power limit numbers, but it’s gon na make things confusing when you’re, comparing laptops at best buy to have such broad ranges of power consumption for these chips.. Thankfully, the P-series skews only use four digits in their model numbers which should help to distance them somewhat from their H-series higher-end counterparts.. The U-series, meanwhile, is even further restrained and looks more like a P-series core i3 to be honest with you..
These come in at just 15 Watts base and 55 Watts boost on the five series and a measly nine Watts base and 29 Watts boosts on the further restricted zero series.. This particular distinction is definitely gon na cause confusion at best buy. And if you’ve wondered how a laptop with almost all efficiency cores will run. Take a look at these Pentium and Celeron skews..
Only a single P core., I’m actually pretty interested in these, though Anthony.. I think they could be pretty cool.. Of course, these U-series skews aren’t just i3s they’re meant for the extreme end of thin and light., And regardless of which class of CPU, you choose you’re gon na end up with Intel’s new Evo platform., Which includes thunderbolt for and attend ADP or better camera., Except asterisk..
Asterisk not always GG intel. Intel says that these exemptions are literally just for form factors that do not have enough physical room for a 1080 P sensor, which is fair enough. I guess, but it’s still confusing., But Hey at least Jill’s, get what intel’s calling GNA Gaussian and Neural Accelerator., Which should help with image and audio noise reduction during calls..
Now one surprise that intel didn’t give us a heads up on is the fruits of their acquisition of screenovate just last month promising to make mobile devices more interconnected, even across different platforms.. Not only can intel Evo powered laptops communicate with iPhones to use iMessage on PC, but they can also download health data from smartwatches, extend the screen to Android tablets and cast photos and videos to smart TVs.. The software they showed off looks pretty early, but they say it will be available by holiday 2022. Ben we’ve got some weirdo form factors that might catch on. Intel says that foldable display tech is coming to a laptop near you., And while some of these examples look Absolutely atrocious to use like the dual angle thing they’ve got going on here., Some like the tabletop or journal when paired with a separate keyboard. I can kind of get into that and getting some big Dell XPS M 2010 portable desktop vibes, here., So intel’s firmly back in the game, and we need to give credit where it’s due., It’s clear that they finally have a vision for the future, with Pat Gelsinger.
At the helm. And they’re getting so scrappy. They’re, even taking shots at Apple’s, marketing. Look at that., It’s so pointless..
