Intel Plans New Processors For June

By Digital Trends Staff June 7, 2004

The company will launch its Intel 915 Express and Intel 925 Express chipsets along with nine new Pentium 4 and Celeron processors. Chipsets, a collection of chips that assist in shuttling data to and from the processor and controlling input/output, are similar to a central nervous system. PCs using the 900 family chipsets and the Pentium 4s are scheduled go on sale the weekend of June 19. The Celerons will come out a few days later, sources familiar with Intel’s plans said.

Together, the chipsets and processors, which the sources said will include a new Pentium 4 560 running at 3.6GHz, will generate a variety of new desktop PCs that will offer greater performance than today’s desktops and some new capabilities as well, including the option for a built-in wireless access point, dubbed Intel Wireless Connect Technology.

It just became the perfect time to buy a last-gen Intel CPU

Intel Core i9-13900K held between fingertips.

In a surprising twist, Intel has just decided to discontinue its entire lineup of 13th-generation Raptor Lake CPUs, and it's happening faster than anyone might have expected. Who would have thought that Intel would bid farewell to some of its best processors so soon? While today is a sad day for Raptor Lake, the news is good for those wanting to buy a CPU -- while supplies last, that is.

The discontinuance applies to Intel's lineup of overclockable Raptor Lake processors, bar the 14th-gen refresh, of course. This means that CPUs like the Core i5-13600K are no longer in production and vendors will no longer be able to restock them as of May 24, 2024. This comes from an official product change notification document from Intel, which was spotted by Tom's Hardware. The full list of affected processors is as follows:

I tested Intel’s XeSS against AMD FSR — and the results speak for themselves

Intel Arc demo: Ryan Shrout plays Shadow of the Tomb Raider on a gaming PC.

AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and Intel's Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) are two of the most prominent upscaling options you'll find in PC games, and for one simple reason: They work with any of the best graphics cards. Choosing between them isn't simple, however. There are some big differences in image quality and performance, even with the same graphics card and the same game.

We've been testing AMD FSR and Intel XeSS for months across various games, but it's time to compare them point for point. If you're looking for a simple answer on which is best, you w0n't find it here. However, we'll still dig into the nuances between FSR and XeSS and what you need to know about the two upscaling features.
