Raja Koduri leaves AMD to join Intel.

A surprising news was confirmed by Intel the chief architect of Radeon technology group part of AMD Raja Koduri is joining Intel to lead their newly formed Core and Visual Computing Group. It seems that Intel want to get piece of the graphics pie. They have such graphics unit from before but it looks now that they want to spend some money and get results. Its not sure that they will start to develop product line from zero or they will continue based on their old work, but only the future will shows us what will hapen. Even if they take decision to start from zero Intel is big company and the can afford it. But if after few years they dont make good sales maybe some of the holders will be unhappy.
So lets wait for more new from intel

Two new high clock speed CPUs from Intel

There are rumors for two new CPUs from Intel Core i5-7640K and Core i7-7740K. They are expected to be positioned over the current leaders i5-7640K and i7-7700K. With 100 MHz higher base clock frequency i7-7740K will have 4.3 GHz base and 4.6 GHz boost clock. For the i5-7640K the clock will be 200 MHz higher or that means 4GHz base clock and 4.4 GHz boost clock.

The higher clock rate will mean higher TDP so the TDP of the i7-7740K will be 100 W instead of 91W. Probably it will come with the same CPU cooler.

Intel is trying to offer something more for the upcoming battle with the expected to be good AMD Ryzen CPUs.
