ONE-NETBOOK teased its upcoming OneXPlayer X1 and revealed that the 3-in-1 convertible laptop will get the all-new Intel Core Ultra processor. More specifically, the Intel Core Ultra 7 (100H), which has 8 Xe-Cores, perfect for gaming on its 10.95-inch touchscreen display.
The all-new Intel Core i9-14900K is one of the world’s fastest desktop processors, capable of delivering 6GHz of frequency right out of the box. These 14th Gen processors provide up to a 23% gaming performance uplift compared to its competitors, while Intel’s new gaming-focused features aim to deliver better-than-ever application threading alongside existing Intel Thread Director application thread scheduling.
Intel introduces one of the industry’s first glass substrates for next-generation advanced packaging, enabling the continued scaling of transistors in a package and advance Moore’s Law to deliver data-centric applications. Why glass? It offers distinctive properties such as ultra-low flatness and better thermal and mechanical stability, thus providing much higher interconnect density in a substrate.
The new Intel Thunderbolt 5 connectivity standard is capable of delivering 80 gigabits per second (Gbps) of bi-directional bandwidth, and up to 120 Gbps with Bandwidth for an optimal display experience. This standard will be broadly compatible with previous versions of Thunderbolt and USB, along with current standards like USB4 V2.
Remember the tiny Intel 486 computer built by The Eric Experiment? Well, many fans were wondering if it can run DOOM, and the answer is yes. The entire system is based on a single-board computer (SBC) and an Intel 486DX4 processor running at 100Mhz, paired with Tseng ET4000 graphics.
Technology enthusiast Eric Mackrodt, better known as The Eric Experiment, built a tiny Intel 486 computer from scratch, complete with a 3D-printed case as well as monitor. This project spanned 2-years and built around an Intel 486DX4 100Mhz processor, a Tseng Labs ET4000 SVGA graphics controller, and an SMC Ethernet card.
First, there was a man hiding SSDs in a scooter, now this person was caught trying to smuggle 239 Intel CPUs, worth nearly $50,000 USD, around his waist. It all started when customs officers at the Gongbei Port, the entry point from Macau to China, noticed a man with a bulky shirt and pants that didn’t quite match his physique.
The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation announced today that Intel co-founder Gordon Moore has passed at the age of 94, quietly at his home in Hawaii surrounded by family. Intel paved the way for the future of the semiconductor industry after Moore and Robert Noyce founded the company in July 1968.

Forget fans or even liquid cooling systems, this modder decided to use a solid 8-pound copper block to cool an Intel Core i9 processor. This kept the processor at a stable 95°F (35°C) and even under heavy load, it reaches a maximum of 176°F (80°C). A typical cooler or fan would still see an Intel Core i9 processor reach an average temperature of 158–176°F (70–80°C) running basic apps or any kind of game.
