Kicking Pat Gelsinger, Intel’s CEO, has ruled out the notion that the company will build semiconductor facilities in the UK because it’s not part of the European Union anymore.
Gelsinger told the BBC that it would definitely have considered investment in the UK but Brexit has dashed any hopes of that happening.
Nokia said that its Nokia AirFrame data centre solutions will be upgraded with the third Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors to increase their compute capacity, faster data lanes and higher memory capacity.
This means that AirFrame products will be upgraded immediately following the availability of the latest processors.
Nokia’s AirFrame data centre is designed for running demanding virtualised and cloud-native software workloads in the 5G era.
Chipzilla is rolling out its Intel Partner Alliance today with the big idea of making it easier for the channel to take advantage of online tools with a redesigned portal.
Intel wants to unify disparate programmes and to bolster the support it can give online. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, partner demand for training has increased substantially.
The Intel Partner University and Solutions Marketplace have been added to the portal and to unify all of its programmes under one umbrella, with including Technology Provider, IOT Solutions Alliance and Cloud Insider.
An international team of security boffins, including experts from the University of Birmingham, have discovered new vulnerabilities in Intel processors.
This category of attacks, dubbed PLATYPUS, exploits fluctuations in a device’s power consumption to extract sensitive data such as cryptographic keys.
These attacks were difficult to execute as they required accurate power measurements which were difficult to execute using malware. That is why attackers were known to require physical access to the target device, and measurement tools – such as an oscilloscope.
However, new research by the Graz University of Technology, which partnered with the University of Birmingham and the Helmholtz Center for Information Security (CISPA), uncovers a method that makes it possible to access sensitive data using power side-channel attacks with unprecedented accuracy – even without physical access.
Intel’s data centre revenue from enterprise and government customers took a major hit in the third quarter, dropping by 47 percent year on year.
Chipzilla was swift to blame the coronavirus claiming it also hurt its IoT and memory businesses, but Wall Street was not believing these dog ate my homework excuses, as the company’s stock price dropped by more than nine percent in after hours trading Thursday.
Intel said that despite a per cent decline, its $18.3 billion in third-quarter revenue was above guidance the company gave back in July — and $40 million higher than Wall street’s expectations. The company’s earnings per share of $1.11 was in line with what analysts were looking for.
Intel has announced new measures to help its channel partner network during the coronavirus pandemic.
The tech giant said the relief package will provide partners with ways to lower business costs, deal with supply chain issues, as well as maintain their tier in the Intel Technology Provider programme.
Chipzilla has already committed $50 million in pandemic response efforts, focused on accelerating access to tech, speeding scientific research and ensuring access to online learning for students.
Cloud outfit Datto has teamed up with Intel on its Datto RMM, its remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform.
Datto and Intel customers will now have direct capability from Datto RMM to remotely and more securely control devices “out-of-band”, meaning the hardware is either powered off or the operating system is unresponsive. This introduces a level of access to support endpoints that MSPs would otherwise struggle to achieve using traditional remote control tools.
After cancelling its attendance at the Mobile World Congress, it seems Chipzilla is still rather scared of getting its ample bulk into an aircraft.
Intel has cancelled its channel event in Milan because of the coronavirus. While there has been a case of Kung Flu in Italy, it seems that Intel is taking no chances.
In an email sent to partners, Intel channel VP Greg Baur said the vendor had made the “difficult decision” to scrap the three-day event because a number of partners would have been unable to attend.
Chipzilla has announced details of its new Intel Partner Alliance, which it claims has been designed to enable and empower businesses to connect, and grow.
Launching in the second half of 2020, the Partner Alliance programme will unify the firm’s multiple existing initiatives into a single, integrated platform to help enhance the value, relevance and experience it delivers to partners.
Opinion Chinese multinational Huawei has revealed its plans to use its entire product reach to dominate the marketplace from mobile phones up through the desktop to the server level. Oh, and smart everything too, like motor cars and robots.
Last week, in Shanghai, your correspondent attended the Advanced Intelligence conference and attended a number of keynotes. You can find some of my coverage at Fudzilla.com.
It was pretty impressive stuff, and the keynotes spelled out the future.
The chairman of Huawei implied today that the traditional ways of distribution are a thing of the past.
Guo Ping, the rotating chairman of Huawei told ChannelEye that there is a parable in China about an “old man moving a mountain”. Here, Huawei is the old man who despite blockages eventually win the way.
He said that distributors and the dealer network in the UK could perhaps consider a multisource strategy.
Chipzilla has said that laptops verified through its Project Athena programme will carry a sticker “Engineered for mobile performance”.
Designed to draw customers to the laptops that meet the program’s target specification and key experience indicators (KEI), the identifier can be found for the first time with the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 laptop – one of the first Project Athena systems.
The branding will also be visible alongside the HP Elitebook 1040 and 830 machines arriving over the coming weeks, and additional machines from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung before the end of the year.
Chipzilla has told the world+dog that it is easing some of the problems that have plagued the supply of CPUs over the last year by stepping up production.
The PC market has struggled with shortages at a time when the commercial segment has been growing with many customers taking measures to migrate away from Windows 7 before support ends in January .
Intel’s CEO Bob Swan said that the supply issues were easing and PC demand continued to improve, particularly in the commercial segment.
Intel has unveiled details surrounding its new Project Athena Open Labs project which is designed to support and optimise components for the upcoming Project Athena class of advanced laptops.
Project Athena aims to create a more power-efficient and responsive class of laptop that capitalises on next-generation technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence.
Beancounters at research firm IHS Markit have slashed its outlook for 2019 semiconductor sales by more than 10 percentage points, projecting revenue to decline 7.4 percent to $446.2 billion.
The outfit had predicted 2.9 percent growth for 2019 revenue in December.
This would mean that the semiconductor industry is facing its biggest annual percentage decrease since 2009, when chip sales dipped by nearly 11 percent.
