Changes will be noticeable in the long term As Seekingalpha writes, new US rules on chip exports to China are unlikely to have much of a short-term impact on companies like Nvidia and AMD, but the long-term picture could be very different. Nvidia and ASML said the rules would have a minimal near-term impact on their results of operations. However, China accounts for up to 25% of Nvidia's data center sales, and its chips intended for the market, particularly the A800 and H800, are now on the banned list. Analysts believe AMD and Intel could also feel the impact. In the long term, some companies may experience a decline in revenue, which could limit investment. At the same time, the United States is trying to find a balance between allowing sales and protecting its interests. “The US government doesn't want to just say no to everything, but it does want to be able to control every transaction that it can,” said IDC Vice President Mario Morales.

On average, there is almost no difference between the new and old generations Yesterday, Intel introduced the Core i9-14900K/KF, Core i7-14700K/KF, and Core i5-14600K/KF processors of the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. Today their reviews appear on the Internet. [caption id="attachment_70245" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel[/caption] Let us remember that only Core i7 models received more cores than their predecessors, while all other new products are content with only increasing frequencies.  Because of this, which is logical, the performance increase for all new models, except for the Core i7, is not particularly large.   If we talk about the Core i5-14600K, on ​​average, according to TechPowerUp tests, in various applications this CPU is only 2-3% faster than the Core i5-13600K, and this difference can be neglected. In games, as expected, the situation is the same. Interestingly, the consumption of the new product is slightly lower than that of its predecessor: 93 W versus 105 W. This is an average based on data from 47 applications.  The Core i9-14900K is the same amount faster than the Core i9-13900K, which makes the new product identical to the Core i9-13900KS model. The latter was simply renamed Core i9-14900K since even the frequencies of these CPUs are the same.   The Core i7-14700K can be called the most interesting among the new products, especially considering the unchanged price. However, this is only on paper. In reality, the increase is also very modest. The new CPU is on average faster than the Core i7-13700K by about 5%.  Of course, as always, when it comes to modern multi-core processors, you need to look at those tests that are important to a particular user. Because, for example, in Blender Core i7-14700K is no longer 5%, but 14% faster than its predecessor. And in several other applications that actively use all cores, the situation is approximately the same, since after all, the new CPU has four more small cores.   Overall, however, the new generation is, as expected, only a very slight acceleration of the previous generation. Intel needs new CPUs to fill the gap before the release of Arrow Lake, which is not expected until the end of 2024.

Next will be Core and Core Ultra Intel has unveiled its new 14th-generation Core processors, and now the company has confirmed that these will be the last Core I CPUs.   We already knew that the upcoming Meteor Lake would switch to the Core Ultra brand. In addition, there will be just Core models. But there will be no more Core i models.  It is worth understanding that the 14th generation Core will also include mobile processors that will be released later. They will still be named Core i.   Intel says goodbye to the Core i brand. [caption id="attachment_70101" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel[/caption] Let us remember that the first Core processors appeared in 2006, but these were the Core Duo and Core Solo models. The first Core I came out in 2009. 

So far tested on a CPU with a consumption of more than 800 W Intel seems to be hinting to us that in the future processors may well be able to consume more than 1 kW of power. Together with Submer, the processor giant announced what participants say is a revolutionary development in the field of single-phase immersion cooling technology, providing heat dissipation from processors with power up to 1000 W.  [caption id="attachment_69912" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel[/caption] The system is designed to “revolutionize data center cooling by reducing the number and cost of components required to comprehensively capture and dissipate heat in chips with a TDP of over 1,000 watts.”  Intel is preparing the market for processors that consume more than 1 kW of power. For testing, Intel used an unnamed processor that consumed more than 800 W. It is quite possible that this was a modern representative of the Sapphire Rapids line.  [caption id="attachment_69913" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel[/caption] The companies note that the new development will reduce customer costs, it is universal and can compete with systems based on direct liquid cooling. The companies also note the simplicity of the design and the ability to use 3D printing to create elements of this design. The development will be officially presented at the OCP Global Summit event, which will be held from October 17 to 19.
