To watch the press conference live, interested viewers can navigate to the Intel Newsroom site during that time to view the video feed. The feed will also be embedded in this post once it becomes available. In a media advisory, the chipmaker said that Intel Vice President Gregory Bryant from the Client Computing Group and Executive Vice President Navin Shenoy from the Data Center Group, will be the main presenters.

Intel will also have a booth at the show to showcase some of the many technologies that it is working on. Last year, Intel showed off 5G, autonomous driving, virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence demos in its booth, as the company focused on how data affected human lives. This year, the theme is how Intel’s technology is helping to drive the “smart, connected data-centric world.”

Intel partners and computer makers like Dell, HP, Lenovo, and others will also be at CES. And we’ll be there to cover how Intel technologies are powering new computer designs, ranging from desktops to laptops and everything in between.

Most recently, Intel announced a new social good partnership with the National Geographic Society and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation that leverages the power of Intel’s TrailGuard A.I. work in a camera system built to combat poaching in the wild. The camera uses Intel’s Movidius Vision Processing Unit for object recognition. If humans are detected by the camera in Africa’s wildlife reserves, park rangers are alerted in real-time, so poachers can be stopped before they can kill an endangered animal. Given the theme of Intel’s press conference this year of bringing to light technologies that have a direct impact on the human experiences, the company may use CES as a venue to further showcase its anti-poaching initiative and similar efforts..

Here’s how the M3 Max chip compares to the most powerful Windows laptops
The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Max chip seen from behind.

Apple's M3 Max is an incredibly powerful chip, significantly increasing Apple Silicon's CPU and GPU performance. It's gotten a ton of press, but is it necessarily faster than the fastest Windows laptops?

To find out, we pitted it against the Lenovo Legion 9i, a gaming laptop equipped with the ultrafast Intel Core i9-13980HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090, and the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 with the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX and the RTX 4090. We can't compare the MacBook Pro 14 with the M3 Max directly to the Lenovo and Asus in that many benchmarks, particularly gaming, due to limits in testing and cross-platform compatibility. But we could compare enough to get an idea of how these various chips stack up against each other.
A brief look at architectures
The Apple M3 Max is an ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) currently at the high end of Apple Silicon's lineup. It represents the first chips made using a 3nm process and redesigned GPU architecture. On the CPU side, Apple increased the speed of its performance cores by 15% and its efficiency cores by 30% over the M2. Overall, Apple is promising a 20% to 25% improvement in performance. On the GPU side, Dynamic Caching is one technology that speeds up a variety of GPU processes, while gamers will benefit from mesh shading and hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

CPU owners are suing Intel. Here’s the surprising reason why
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger holding a chip.

Five unhappy owners of Intel CPUs have just started a class action lawsuit against the company following the discovery that, allegedly, Intel knowingly sold processors affected by a dangerous vulnerability -- and it has been doing this for years. The flaw in question is called Downfall, and while it doesn't affect Intel's best CPUs, it's present in chips ranging from the 6th to the 11th generation of Intel processors.

Dating back to Skylake CPUs and still present in Rocket Lake chips, the Downfall vulnerability was first made public by security researcher Daniel Moghimi. This flaw targets the Gather Instruction process in Intel CPUs. Normally, this allows the CPU to quickly access various data in its memory, but unfortunately, this also means that any vulnerabilities within Gather Instruction grant the threat actor a lot of access to the affected PC. Be it through malware or by direct access, attackers could potentially steal a lot of sensitive data from affected chips.

I got a rare peek into Intel’s largest offshore manufacturing facility — here’s what I learned

It is rare to see a technology giant open its doors to showcase how it really operates. But that is exactly what Intel had in mind when it invited global press and media representatives to visit its factories in Malaysia. As a part of its Tech Tour 2023 event, the chip maker gave us a detailed insight into how exactly a CPU is made. I learned a lot, but before I share my experience, here’s a brief about the company’s history and future plans in Malaysia.

Intel established its first offshore facility in Malaysia in 1972 with a total of 100 employees. Today, there are two major facilities in Penang and Kulim that expand close to 900,000 sq. ft. with 15,000 employees.
