Welcome to the Tech Meme Ride Home for Thursday August 1st 2019. I'm Brian McCullough today. Intel's Faster New Chips, Birds More Dur durable new scooters, Samsung's new lack of a

headphone jack, Cisco settles with the government IBM faces an age

discrimination lawsuit, Cloudflayers planning an IPO, and the new season of Fort Knight.

Here's what you miss today in the world of Tech.

Intel has unveiled its first 10th generation laptop

CPU's get to know Ice Lake built on Intel's new 10 nanometer Sunny Cove architecture. What might these new chips

mean for you? Well, Intel of course claims that they're faster, but also, yeah, there's going to be some serious naming confusion because there are

11 new chips coming our way with a range of configurations and equivalently complicated nomenclature, quoting and gadget.

As usual, Intel is breaking up its laptop chip family into the Y series,

which are meant for incredibly slim and efficient machines and the U-series which are geared

towards more capable ultra-portables like Dell's XPS 13. Surprisingly enough

why series chips are getting a bit more capable this generation with the first ever

quad core models. I won't expect them to be capable of 1080-P gaming machines even with

G7 Iris Plus graphics but they should at least be more powerful

than any of Intel's previous notebook chips.

Just like Intel said before, the 10th gen processors reach up to 4.1 gigahertz boost speeds in the most powerful model.

Whereas the 8th gen I7 8565 you got up to 4.6 gigahertz. Still the new ships are faster in other ways.

Intel claims its Sunny Cove architecture can handle 18% more instructions per clock than

before. That lets them do more work at equivalent clock speeds and coupled

with other upgrades like a significantly larger L1 and L2 cache the 10th gen

CPU should be noticeably faster in day-to-day work."
