Reading was once a quiet activity tied to libraries and printed pages. Today it’s a layered experience guided by algorithms that know more about taste than most friends do. Artificial Intelligence is changing not just what people read but how they discover and interact with books. Every recommendation feels tailored […]
We have been using and selling primarily Intel CPU’s since the late 1980s and while we switched over to AMD briefly in the mid 2000s but went back to Intel when they regained their supremacy. Intel’s namings conventions have changed over the years but put simply today they are based […]
Gaming at high resolutions with buttery-smooth frame rates has long been the holy grail for PC enthusiasts. While powerful graphics cards certainly help, technologies that intelligently upscale games have become increasingly vital. One such innovation is Intel XeSS (Xe Super Sampling), an AI-powered (we know, everything claims to be AI-powered […]
It’s easy to not understand the difference between the U and H series in the Intel CPU line. We have several articles explaining what the different suffix letters mean in Intel CPU’s but at the request of one of our clients we produced this short explanation of the technical differences. […]
Earlier today one of our techs noticed “Artifical Intelligence (AI) Host for the Microsoft Windows Operating System and Platform X64” program running in the background of a few users. She was even more concerned when she noticed that her own Windows 11 Pro was not running that “Artifical Intelligence (AI) […]
Have you tried to buy a new computer or new CPU lately. The are new letters (suffixes) at the end of the CPU names. Intel has tried to streamline some of their product offerings and so the old Intel CPU suffixes may no longer apply. In general the suffixes provide […]
One of our larger clients was struggling to decide which CPU to purchase in their new Dell laptops so we produced the table below for them. As you can see it compares all of the Intel Core Ultra CPUs that are in common Dell products today. The key question is […]
Are you curious about the true capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Join Carissa Veliz, from Oxford University’s Institute of Ethics in AI, on this episode of the AI Decoders Show. Explore the myths of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), the deceptive nature of large language models, and their ethical implications. 0:00 […]
We just had our staff complete some Intel security courses and one of them strangely focused on “Intel Software Guard Extensions“. SGX is a set of security-related instruction codes built into some Intel CPUs like 6th Generation Core i5 and i7 CPU’s. SGX allows applications to create protected areas of […]
If you are confused by all of the Intel GPU branding, you’re not alone. To help our own technicians understand the differences between Intel’s Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) we created this simple table to summarize all of the currently (January 2025) supported Intel GPU’s. GPU Name First Intro Last Update […]
We have been receiving a lot of questions about the new Intel core Ultra Series CPU’s. In response, we have created several articles explaining what makes the Core Ultra different and also in our review of the Dell latitude 5450 laptop. However we think it’s probably useful to have a […]
It’s not news to anyone who follows the industry that Intel has fallen behind in the performance race. Chip companies like AMD, NVIDIA, ARM, and Qualcomm, all have superior performance in some category. If that’s true, why are Intel CPU’s in more new corporate computers than all of the others […]
We had just completed an article on what the Ultra means in Intel Core Ultra, when one of our clients asked which CPU’s she should be buying now. Here was our response: Given these two facts I wouldn’t consider purchasing a computer that was not running in Intel Core Ultra […]
If you’ve been following the stock market or the chip industry in any way you will know that Intel started falling behind competitors in the early 2010’s. Companies like TSMC are now a generation ahead of Intel in manufacturing, while AMD and ARM (which sell their designs to thousands of […]
“An Intel EVO Design” is an ingredient brand meaning that it is not a single function or feature or device. When you see the Intel EVO sticker or graphic you really can be assured that you’re getting high quality equipment that will work seamlessly together and provide usually executives and […]
A client of ours has a Lenevo Thinkbook 14 Gen 2 which she wants to wipe and load a fresh Windows 10 or Windows 11. She followed our video instructions on how to do a bare metal Windows 11 (same as Windows 10) install but got stuck on the WHERE […]
