Assassin's Creed Mirage is prepping for its October 5 launch and ahead of that, Ubisoft has dropped system requirements for the same. Unlike the norm with AAA PC games these days, this ninth-century Baghdad-set title appears to be rather forgiving on hardware, essentially going back an entire graphics generation. Running the game on Ultra settings does not require AMD's latest 7000 or Nvidia's 40 series cards. That said, the accompanying ‘PC Features' trailer shows Intel as its official partner, assuring that it's been optimised for the Arc GPUs and the respective 13th-Gen processors. This feels like a weird choice since it's not a really popular graphics card in the PC gaming community.

Intel Corp. Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger, plotting a comeback for the once-dominant chipmaker, made the case that the company's technology will be vital to an industrywide boom in artificial intelligence computing.

Intel Corp. is betting on an unexpected material to help the world's computers handle ever-growing artificial intelligence workloads: glass. As processors become larger and more complex, their ability to communicate with the rest of the computer is going to become a chokepoint, according to Intel researchers. Glass-based substrates, which sit between the chip and connecting components, are the answer to this challenge, the company says.

With the growing need for computational power and performance, processors are getting bigger—much bigger. Even some of today's gaming graphics cards push the boundaries of a small package, but they're relatively small-fry next to AI accelerators and supercomputer chips. From here on out, it's all about cramming more and more stuff—chiplets, memory, interconnects—onto a single processor. But there are limits to what's possible.

It seems the latest Intel Arc driver update has caused an array of unintended issues with the Acer Predator BiFrost model of the A770 GPU. In an attempt to add more stable support for Starfield's launch last week, Intel sent out two updates to the A770 in late August/early September. While these have had mixed results for A770 cards trying to play the game, it seems to have caused inadvertent problems for the 16GB Acer version.

Intel's next-gen 18A node has garnered immense interest from the industry, with an analyst citing that ARM might be one of the first customers utilizing the new process.

This has to be one of the weirdest bugs I've seen squashed in recent driver release notes: some players with Intel Arc graphics may have noticed that characters in Starfield had their eyebrows blown off their face when using previous driver versions. The latest driver, version 31.0.101.4676, brings them back.

According to Bethesda's support team, PC players playing Starfield using an Intel ARC GPU might have problems running the game as Intel's GPUs don't meet Starfield's minimum system requirements.

Intel's own microcode has been found to be the culprit causing various "Unsupported CPU" BSOD issues on 13th Gen CPUs & the company is already working on a new microcode.

There was always going to be a certain amount of jank when Starfield launched. It is, after all PC gaming in 2023 and practically every big launch has to have more than its fair share of bugs, crashes, or GPU blowouts. But as a Bethesda game there was always going to be more to it than that. And, while it's certainly not bug-free on other graphics cards, it seems that Intel's Arc GPUs are suffering more than most.

Intel's support for Starfield has been rocky but the latest Arc Game-On drivers resolve most of the glaring issues, offering a better experience to gamers.

Intel counterfeit CPUs have been revolving around the market for a while now. A Reddit user has reported a unique case, claiming to receive an inferior Intel processor than the one he ordered.

HWMonitor, a highly popular hardware monitoring application, has added support for Intel's Raptor Lake Refresh and the Meteor Lake CPU lineup.

Intel plans on taking the help of TSMC in the future, as its foundry division becomes a victim of delays and process inefficiencies.
