In May, while surfing the Internet, one could encounter info, supposing that Intel and AMD have signed an agreement regarding AMD technologies licensing. However, the Intel Co. representative disproved this.



At present, there is indirect evidence of such Intel CPU existence. The SiSoftware Sandra database incorporates an Intel processor engineering prototype with the integrated HD Graphics Gen9 GPU, possessing the 694C:C0 ID, which corresponds to one of AMD solutions ID.


Moreover, specifications indicate the 1,000 MHz frequency and 1,720 SP rates, which imply that we are facing Intel with AMD GPU. Even if we are talking about the Polaris generation architecture, this video card’s productivity advances the product to Radeon RX 470. The desk-type card has higher frequencies and more streaming processors, but for the integrated sample it would be incredible. After all it may be a case of the Vega gen. We should also note that this CPU model is of the Kaby Lake line, not any …

Within the confines of CES 2015, Intel has officially introduced the fifth generation of Intel Core mobile processors. The lineup is targeting traditional laptops, ultrabooks, 2-in-1 devices, chrome-books, all-in-one items as well as mini-PCs. Besides, the company pin hopes for their CPUs to be additionally implemented within ‘All-inclusive Internet/Internet of Things’ embedded device concept.



New processors are designed according to 14-nm Intel Broadwell architecture. Due to the transition to a brand new technological process, the number of transistors has increased by 35%; herewith, the core area has reduced by 37%. Such innovative move provided for the enhancement of efficiency with simultaneous cut of power consumption. As a result, devices with the integrated Intel Core CPUs are called to run 1.5 hours longer in standalone mode.


The 5th generation lineup might boast the support for the latest codecs (HEVC, VP9, VP8), technologies (Intel WiDi 5.1, Intel RealSense …

The Enermax company releases two new MaxTytan series power supplies of 1050 and 1250 W rated capacity. These products are 80 Plus Titanium certified and are highlighted due to the presence of the watt-hour meter in their construction, which monitors current system energy consumption.



The Enermax specialties are equipped with high temperature (105°C) capacitors, produced in Japan, and are protected from various abnormal modes. Through a 12V circuit the upper model can provide up to 104 А (1,248 W), and the lower sample — up to 87.5 А (1,050 W). Peak bearable power of these devices is 1,375 and 1,155 W.


Enermax MaxTytan components are chilled by 140 mm fans, based on Twister bearing. The fans start rotating only after load overcomes 70% of nominal power. The supply kit contains the CoolerGenie fan controller, allowing to enable chilling only after power consumption exceeds 40/55% of rated values. In the meantime, the fans, linked to CoolerGenie, keep rotating for 40-60 …
