Tom’s Hardware is marking its 30th anniversary with a CPU retrospective that begins with the Intel Pentium II and ends at AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, using three decades of reviews to trace how desktop processors went from a clock-speed arms race to today’s battle over cache, chiplets, efficiency...

A “best CPUs of all time” ranking cannot simply be a scoreboard of the fastest chips available today. It has to account for context: the workloads of the era, the price buyers paid, the technical leap delivered, the upgrade path it enabled, and the way it changed expectations across the PC...

Intel’s planned Directed Package-Level Thermal Interrupts support for Linux 7.3 is a small kernel change with unusually broad implications for power efficiency, responsiveness, and multicore scalability on compatible Intel systems. Rather than waking every online CPU in a physical processor...

Intel may manufacture most of the compute tiles for its forthcoming Nova Lake-S desktop processors on its own 18A process rather than relying primarily on TSMC’s 2nm production, according to a new report cited by TweakTown and other outlets. The reported change follows an improvement in Intel...

Intel’s latest education push with ASUS is a useful demonstration of where on-device AI fits in schools, but it is not evidence that classroom privacy has become a decisive competitive advantage for Intel hardware. At ISTE+ASCD 2026 in Orlando, ASUS and Intel jointly showed an education lineup...
