Intel CPUs, GPUs, and manufacturing in flux

This cluster tracks Intel’s hardware and process roadmap from chips to fabs. A leaked 12‑P‑core Core 9 'Bartlett Lake-S' processor signals new non‑consumer silicon, while Arc GPU benchmarks and a fresh driver release highlight multi‑card setups and major FPS gains in titles like Resident Evil Requiem and The Witcher 3. In parallel, a look inside ASML’s ultra‑expensive High‑NA EUV tools and an IP analysis of TSMC vs Intel in silicon photonics underscore the manufacturing and optical interconnect technologies that will underpin future Intel products. Together these posts show Intel competing across the full stack, from cutting‑edge production equipment and photonics IP to CPUs and gaming‑focused GPUs.
