BrandPost: Deploy Windows 10 Pro images using one consistent process, no matter the CPU

Comparing laptops for your remote workers is critical in this work-from-home era, especially if the laptops you’re considering contain a CPU from a different manufacturer than the ones already in your fleet.After all, being able to use the same deployment process across all devices—regardless of processor—makes things easier on your IT staff.This white paper offers a detailed comparison of time and steps on AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U and Intel Core i5-10310U vPro processor-based HP EliteBook 800 G

In a radical change, Intel will build x86 chips for other companies

Intel’s manufacturing revival includes an intriguing footnote: The company’s new foundry business plans to make its x86 processor portfolio and other technologies available for other chipmakers to potentially license. It’s a radical shift for Intel, which has historically been very protective of its x86 product designs.Specifically, Intel’s new Intel Foundry Services will offer access to Intel’s intellectual property, including “x86 cores, graphics, media, display, AI, interconnect, fabric an

Watch us build our 'unicorn' PC, live!

Back in early 2020, AMD released two budget Zen 2 chips, the 3100 and the 3300X. Then the pandemic hit, and getting your hands on affordable components became...difficult.But while the 3100 pops back into stock now and then, the 3300X has remained mysteriously unavailable. Given that this $130 four-core, eight-thread processor held so much possibility for kickass builds under $500, we were dying to get our hands on one since its launch. But even after we did, we waited, since it didn’t seem f

Is your VPN secure? How to make sense of VPN encryption

Virtual private networks use slick marketing terms to charm potential users, but you can easily get tangled up when trying to pick it all apart.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger pledges a return to greatness through chip design

On Tuesday, newly minted Intel chief executive Pat Gelsinger outlined his vision for returning Intel to greatness: a manufacturing strategy called “IDM 2.0” that will impact Intel’s development of 7nm chips, including the upcoming Meteor Lake.At its heart, Gelsinger’s IDM 2.0 is about fabs: building two new fabs in Arizona to help alleviate worldwide semiconductor supply concerns; establishing a brand-new Intel Foundry Services business to sell chips from those fabs to other customers; and, c

Firefox's new SmartBlock makes private browsing less of a headache

Firefox 87 just dropped with a killer new feature for privacy buffs: SmartBlock for private browsing.Mozilla’s browser has been pushing hard on pro-privacy features recently in a bid to differentiate itself from Google’s juggernaut Chrome.
