Intel Confirms Larrabee Graphics Card is Dead
Last week Intel blabbed to us that its high-end Larrabee card would never debut as a "standalone discrete product," and now its demise has been made official. Can you hear Nvidia and AMD crowing from where you are too? [Reuters]

Intel's High-End Larrabee Graphics Card Won't Be Released Anytime Soon
Intel just told us that its first Larrabee graphics card isn't ever coming out "as standalone discrete product," because they're behind where they'd hoped to be in development, meaning you won't be shoving one inside of your PC anytime soon. More »

Pre-Release Intel Core i9 Chip Hits eBay for $1,200
It may not be due out until early next year, but an engineering sample of Intel's monster Core i9 processor (the kind we saw benchmarked) ended up on eBay. The 2.4GHz Xeon Westmere Gulftown chip's auction ended, unfortunately, so all you nerd millionaires can forget about snagging the expensive escapee. More »

The FTC Still Wants to Slay the Intel Monopoly Monster
Sure, Intel paid off AMD to drop their antitrust suit, but the FTC's still mighty interested in their their fights with Nvidia, and concerned about preserving competition in the chip marketplace overall. It could get ugly. [BW]

MacBook Pro Core i5 and Core i7 Processors Rumored to Arrive in January
It's obvious that Intel's Arrandale-based Core i5 and Core i7 processors' release is right around the corner, but Fudzilla is reporting that it's happening in January. If true, this could mean that a MacBook Pro refresh would follow rather soon. More »

Database Created by FCC for Devices Using White Space Spectrum
After the FCC approved the use of the free spectrum which exists between TV channels, known as white space, little's been done since, thanks to a whole heap of other ongoing issues. The FCC is now starting up a database for cataloging them, so devices can grab some of the spectrum that's going spare. More »

Intel Core i9 Benched: Six Cores of Pure Joy
On paper, the Core i9 might not sound that exciting: It's a lot like the Core i7, except built with a 32nm fabrication process and two extra cores, for a total of six. Early benchmarks, though, say it flies. Sometimes. More »

Atom Processors To Get the 32nm Treatment in 2011
Attention, people who like to maintain a complete mental taxonomy of every processor: Cedar Trail has been outed as the new Atom platform for 2011, with the name Cedarview going to the processor itself. Along with 32nm fabrication, some goodies: More »

Intel Atom's Snow Leopard Compatibility Re-Hacked
The 10.6.2 update for Snow Leopard didn't include Atom chipset support, so it wouldn't work on hackintoshes—but didn't keep enterprising hackers from finding a workaround. They promised it last week, and now they've delivered: Atom support is back, although apparently implementing the fix isn't the easiest project. Still, the ball's in Apple's court now. Is this going to turn into a Palm Pre-iTunes thing, or will Apple just let it lie? [Yahoo]

Asus Eee PC 1201N...$500 Seems Like a Great Deal, But Have We Been Had?
On one hand, the Asus Eee 1201N, the first Ion-packing Eee, will arrive December for $500. That includes Win 7, a dual core Atom processor, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD and 12-inch (1366 x 768) display. But on the other... More »

Intel Deems The Dual Core Atom 330 Too Hot For Netbooks
We've been curious as to why Intel decided to keep the N330 chip out of netbooks, and now we finally know: The chip's just too damn hot and not even all that fast. More »

Intel's 32nm Arrandale Core i5 and i7 Chips for Anorexic Notebooks
We know, the Core i7-i5-i3 stuff is confusing. Not to make it worse, but Digitimes outs some of Intel's notebooks plans for next year: a triplet of processors of Core i7 and i5 processors, codenamed Arrandale, for skinny laptops. More »

AMD's Atom-Mauling Bobcat and High-End Bulldozer Chips
Sure, AMD's sorta reveling in getting handed $1.25 billion by Intel, but more importantly, they've just revealed the future of AMD chips: The promised Atom competitor Bobcat, and a new high-end architecture called Bulldozer. More »

The Intel Reader Photographs Text and Reads it Back to You
Intel's Reader for the visually impaired isn't a concept; it goes on sale today. Using an Atom processor, 5-megapixel camera, and Intel's Linux-based Moblin OS, it turns book pages into digital text and MP3s…then reads aloud in a synthesized voice. More »

Latest Snow Leopard Developer Build Breaks Hackintosh Support... Again
Enough with the back and forth already, Apple. If you're going to kill Atom support then just kill it. Don't toy with us, taking and giving like some sort of merciless god. More »

Gigabyte BIOS Update Fixes iPhone Syncing Issues
Gigabyte's been listening to all of the iPhone syncing issues from motherboard owners using Intel's P55 chipset. They've put out a beta BIOS that addresses the problem. Unfortunately, that doesn't help all the Asus and MSI users who are having the same troubles, but hopefully now that Gigabyte has set an example the others will follow. More »

Intel Swears That It's Gonna Stop Its Firmware From Bricking Any More SSDs
A few weeks ago, Intel pulled a firmware update the day after it came out because many users running 64-bit Windows 7 found that it bricked their SSDs. Whoops. The good news though is that Intel has acknowledged and replicated the bug and is working on a fix. The bad news? There's no timeline for when the fix will come out.[Reg Hardware]

Nvidia Confirms Intel's Senseless USB 3.0 Delay Until 2011
Bad news: Nvidia has confirmed Intel's stance on USB 3.0—no Intel chipsets will support the new standard until 2011. Short of Intel stating something different, USB 3.0 probably won't hit mass consumption until then. Is there any hope? More »

Intel Hit With a Massive Antitrust Suit, In the US This Time
Remember how Intel got smacked in the face with a $1.45 billion fine in the EU for shadily suffocating AMD into submission? Today, New York's Attorney General has brought the fight to the US. This is going to get messy. More »

Via Nano 3000 Wants to Rip Out the Eyes of the Intel Atom
Via's latest nano processor, the 3000, has gone official today for a release in early 2010 in speeds ranging between 1 to 2GHz. The promise? 20% lower power consumption than old Vias, and 1080P playback. Intel's gotten cocky enough in the space that we don't mind the competition one bit. More »

This Is the First USB 3.0 Motherboard
Intel might be dicking around on USB 3.0, but Asus ain't. The Xtreme Design P7P55D-E is apparently the very first USB 3.0 motherboard. It's an Intel P55-based mobo that uses a third-party USB 3.0 controller for a pair of ports. More »

Intel May Postpone USB 3.0 Support on Chipsets Until 2011
A report has surfaced alleging that Intel has pushed back the implementation of USB 3.0 in its chipsets a whole year, to early 2011. It's unconfirmed, and we hope it's not correct—it'd seriously slow down USB 3.0's adoption. More »

Nvidia's Nforce Chipset Is Dead in the Water
I used an Nvidia Nforce-based motherboard in the first computer I ever built, so I'm a little sad to see that Nvidia's freezing all development on their Nforce chipset because of licensing issues with Intel, primarily over whether or not Nvidia's license covers chipsets for Nehalem-based processors. Nvidia's not developing new chipsets for AMD's processors, either. Lame-o. [PC Mag]

Intel's Light Peak Optical Standard Actually Originated at Apple, Will Come to Apple Hardware
Engadget has it on very good authority that there's a legitimate reason for the odd appearance of a Hackintosh at IDF last week: Apple was actually the catalyst for Light Peak and is working closely with Intel on the project. More »
