Intel ships about 80 percent of all notebook PC processors each year, meaning that you’ll probably end up buying a notebook PC with one of these new chips inside. In January, Intel announced the Alder Lake-H, A

If you’re like me, you may have been freaked out by those recent headlines pushed your way.
