A CPU collector/enthusiast has taken the top off of an Intel 4004 processor and taken pictures of the chip's insides, showing the 10,000nm chip in all its glory.
AMD's 3D V-Cache tech is making its way down to the cheapest Raphael processor, with the new Ryzen 5 7500X3D. Found listed at a UK retailer, the 7500X3D will become the cheapest entry point to X3D chips on the AM5 platform, offering six Zen 4 cores and 102 MB of combine cache for maximum gaming performance.
A new Geekbench listing for a midrange Panther Lake CPU, Core Ultra 5 338H, shows a modest bump in performance, but confirms more important details like the exact GPU being utilized under the hood, while clearing up the naming scheme confusion that previously made it part of the flagship "X" branding reserved only for SKUs with 12-core GPUs.
Intel cut 20,500 jobs under new CEO Lip-Bu Tan β totaling 35,500 in two years β and reduced R&D spending by over $800 million per quarter as it streamlines operations, cancels lower-priority projects, and concentrates investment on strategic projects.
Intel's third-quarter results were constrained by production and substrate shortages, forcing the company to prioritize data center CPUs over client chips, which will likely make Raptor Lake CPUs more expensive going forward.
Intel said that its 18A process is advancing on schedule with usable yields to begin Panther Lake volume production, but low marings will slow the ramp and capacity expansion until yields reach 'industry standard' levels in 2026 β 2027.
Intel returned to profitability in Q3 2025 with $13.7 billion in revenue and $4.1 billion profit, driven mainly by one-time gains, as client and data-center sales improved despite ongoing capacity shortages.
A Chinese enthusiastβs benchmark suggests Appleβs new M5 chip delivers record-breaking single-thread performance in CPU-Z, outperforming top AMD and Intel CPUs even while running Windows 11 in virtualization mode. But its multi-thread performance should be better.
