What IT Do

Intel Corporation launched its Core™ Ultra, formerly Meteor Lake, line of mobile processors, a mix of H-series and U-series parts, and the beginning of what the company is referring to as the "AI PC." The majority launched in December, while a few models are expected to launch during the first three months of 2024. The chips are Intel's first consumer processors running on its Intel 4 node, using the company's Foveros 3D hybrid architecture. They will also be the first line of Intel processors using Neural Processing Unit or NPUs. Intel believes that the NPU will further bring about the age of the "AI PC." But Apple, Qualcomm, and AMD each have versions, so only time will tell if that belief is true. The launch of Intel's tile-based Meteor Lake System on Chip (SoC) marks the first step in a series of power-efficient and AI-focused chips on Intel 4 for the mobile market, which is ultimately created to satisfy the growing need to utilize AI inferencing...

Double Data Rate 5 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory or DDR5 is the current standard for memory module Double Data Rate 5 Random-Access Memory or DDR5 is the current standard for memory modules on consumer PCs. DDR5 came to market in concert with Intel's 12th Generation Core processors (headed by the Core i9-12900K) and associated Z690-chipset motherboards. Motherboards using the Z690 chipset are the first consumer boards to support DDR5 memory modules and Alder Lake chips. Development of DDR5 lies mainly with its increased capacity of 64Gb (gigabits) per integrated circuit (IC) or the chips on the memory modules. This represents a fourfold increase compared to DDR4. Previous generations of DDR memory have typically doubled capacity compared with their predecessors. The quadrupling of maximum IC capacity brings with it DIMMs of up to 128GB per DDR5 module. The typical four-slot DDR4 desktop motherboard can hold up to 128GB of memory in total using four 32GB consumer DIMMs, ...
