Intel and partners Bluefors and Afore have created a cryoprober, named the Cryogenic Wafer Prober, that allows researchers to test qubits on 300mm silicon wafers at temperatures of only a few Kelvins. According to Intel, this is the first such quantum computing testing tool to ever exist.

A recent DigiTimes report claimed Apple will start using TSMC’s next-generation 5nm process technology in its iPhones next year. Apple also used TSMC’s first-generation 7nm process node exclusively to manufacture its A12 processor.

Researchers have demonstrated the first practical malware for Intel’s Software Guard eXtensions (SGX). The academics believe that current SGX vulnerabilities can turn Intel’s supposed security feature into something that could ultimately harm users, as SGX enables attackers to deploy “super-malware” with ready-to-hit exploits.

On Thursday, Intel notified its partners that it's going to discontinue the Itanium 9700-series Kittson processors, which were the last processors on the market to use Intel’s Itanium architecture. Intel plans to stop shipping the Itanium-based Kittson processors by mid-2021

DigiTimes based its report Asus confirmed in December 2018 that Intel's processor shortage was negatively affecting its business.

Drivers make the world go 'round. That is true of all the actual drivers who ferry goods and people, of course, but it's also true of the software that improves the performance of whatever hardware it's associated with.

Industry analyst and SemiAccurate founder Charlie Demerjian published an article today claiming that Intel has.

TrendForce expects Intel's worsening 14nm CPU shortage to impact notebook shipments during the lucrative holiday season as Whiskey Lake processors fall behind schedule.

The enthusiast world is salivating at the impending release of Intel's ninth-gen CPUs, and while the company has tipped its hat that the processors are coming to market soon, the timing of the release is up in the air.
