LGA 4710 Review Intel seems to be stirring the tech world once again with the emergence of the LGA 4710 socket. Recently, photos of this new processor socket were leaked online, sparking curiosity and speculation among tech enthusiasts and industry experts alike. The LGA 4710 Enigma At first glance, the LGA 4710 appears to be a new socket for server processors. Intel currently utilizes the LGA 4677 for its Xeon Scalable processors, with the next-generation Xeon Scalable set to employ the LGA 7529. The exact purpose of the LGA 4710, however, remains shrouded in mystery. Speculations and Possibilities There are theories suggesting that the LGA 4710, bearing resemblance to the current LGA 4677, might be an enhanced version of its predecessor. This enhancement could enable the implementation of additional technologies such as support for new versions of PCIe or CXL (Compute Express Link). Beyond Traditional CPUs An intriguing aspect of the LGA 4710 is the possibility that it may not…

Intel is confident that its angstrom-level 18A manufacturing process will surpass TSMC’s 2nm N2 technology and enter mass production much earlier. Intel is on track with its plan to master five advanced manufacturing processes over four years and is now ready to introduce its angstrom-level 20A (2nm) and 18A (1.8nm) technologies ahead of competitors like TSMC and Samsung. Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, believes that the Intel 18A, which is scheduled for mass product use in the second half of 2024, is “slightly ahead” of TSMC’s N2 (2nm) technology planned for the second half of 2025. The 20A and 18A processes from Intel have brought two major innovations: gate-all-around (GAA) field-effect transistors and PowerVia, a technology for power delivery to the semiconductor crystal from its backside. Intel 20A is expected to explore all the features of these innovations, while Intel 18A aims to be a “technological springboard” for Intel to reclaim its leadership in the semiconductor industry. Intel plans to start…

Lenovo has introduced the updated and lighter ThinkPad X1 Carbon and X1 2-in-1 laptops, powered by Intel Core Ultra chips based on the Meteor Lake architecture. The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon and X1 2-in-1 (formerly known as X1 Yoga) feature a refreshed design with a new chassis construction, making them lighter and more compact. One of the most notable changes in the new ThinkPad X1 Carbon is its more compact size while maintaining a 14-inch screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. A unique feature is the metal protrusion above the screen, housing a webcam and an IR camera, referred to by Lenovo as the “communication panel.” First seen in the 2023 ThinkPad Z models, this panel allows the lid to be lifted easily, although lifting the lid to start work is not necessary as the power button has been moved to the right edge of the laptop. The sturdy carbon fiber chassis is matte black, which helps in reducing fingerprint…

ASUS has announced the P13R-M and P13R-M/10G-2T motherboards, designed for building servers using the latest Intel Xeon E-2400 processors, which feature up to eight computing cores and a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up to 95W. Built on the Intel C262 chipset, these motherboards accommodate the LGA1700 socket CPUs. They have four slots for DDR5-4400/4000/3600 UDIMM memory modules, supporting a total capacity of up to 128GB.

Intel has unveiled its 14th generation Core processors (Raptor Lake Refresh), including the high-end models Core i9-14900K/KF, Core i7-14700K/KF, and Core i5-14600K These processors were anticipated, and only the senior models with an unlocked multiplier were announced today. There have been many leaks about these CPUs, so Intel didn’t reveal anything new except for the pricing. The new generation is minimally different from the previous one, except for the Core i7 models, which have four additional small cores compared to their predecessors. Intel has decided not to increase prices, which is a relief, as there were rumors suggesting otherwise. This was also a concern last year. Here are the specifications of the new processors: Intel chose the Core i7-14700K to demonstrate the performance increase with the new generation, as it can truly showcase this improvement. The new CPUs will be available for purchase starting tomorrow. The new Intel processors represent a continuation of the company’s focus on providing high-performance multi-core…

MSI is set to expand its product range next year to include support for the new ATX12VO power standard. The manufacturer is preparing to release a corresponding motherboard based on the AMD B650 chipset with the AMD Socket AM5 processor socket, as well as a power supply unit. The ATX power standard has been used for decades and remains relevant for power supply and motherboard manufacturers. However, in recent years, some manufacturers have shown interest in the new ATX12VO power standard, introduced by Intel three years ago. The ATX12VO (Advanced Technology eXtended 12 Volts Only) feature is notable for excluding the use of 3.3- and 5-volt circuits from the power supply, leaving only 12-volt lines. Further voltage conversion and power distribution are directly handled by the motherboard, which can do this task more efficiently. The advantages of ATX12VO are clear, both from the perspective of motherboard manufacturers and power supply producers. Its use significantly simplifies the design of these products.…
