news hardware Intel announces crazy things: Arc graphics card, iPhone synchronization with PC, rollable tablet…
The announcement is official, Intel is finally releasing its Arc graphics cards, but not only! The conference has just ended and we finally have all the information we have been waiting for. After months of rumours, Intel is making some big announcements.
Intel Announces Arc A770 Graphics Card and More!
Intel is best known for its processors. But the American manufacturer is surprising when it comes to graphics cards. Rumors for a few months, the Intel Arc are finally revealed. Finally, the chipmaker is attacking the graphics card market against AMD and Nvidia.
Intel is proud to launch its own GPUs to take on a highly competitive industry where the red and green teams have been battling each other for decades. Objective : Beat Moore’s Law, ie doubling of performance every two years. We discovered very little information about the graphics card, other than that it is 65% more powerful than the competition in ray tracing. You’re probably wondering what “competition” is, so are we…
Maybe we should have started there, but the price? Patrick P. Gelsinger, the CEO of Intel, introduces and explains the conference in the GPU part Gaming doesn’t have to be expensive. So you will understand that the blue manufacturer graphics card will be affordable. According to the President, the introductory price would only be $329, or roughly the same price in dollars. In comparison, This is a lower price than an RTX 3060. Power Level You’ll have to wait until you get it in the editorial office to tell you more. Launch is scheduled for October 12th, it’s imminent!
There are also two other graphics cards. These are not for the general public, but for data centers. These are the Flex Series 170 and Flex 140. GPUs are super powerful and should make it possible to build the most powerful supercomputer in the world. That’s the goal Intel has set itself with these next-gen graphics cards.
Use an iPhone on Windows like you would on a Mac
Out of nowhere, Intel announces synchronization between Android and iPhone smartphones with Windows PCs. it is l’Application Intel Unison, With it, you can manage calls, messages, file transfers, and notifications from your smartphone right from your computer. You no longer need a Mac to live connect your iPhone.
Of course, what we expect the most is file transfer, like via airdrop. An announcement that was as unexpected as it was welcome. For now, This feature will be available by 2023 on PCs equipped with 13th Gen Intel Evo processors. The official partners are currently Acer, HP and Lenovo.
And here’s a rollable tablet signed by Intel and Samsung
you read that right Intel and Samsung Displays have teamed up to create a rollable touchscreen tablet. Again: unexpected announcement. In the “Intel Innovation” category we find this tablet that unfolds to a 17-inch screen. We can say it’s the chef’s surprise!
This tablet can also sync with a PC to make it a secondary display. Your office is then expanded and completely wireless. There is still a small crease, as with foldable devices. This hawk to enlarge the screen does not seem to solve this problem. In addition, one wonders how durable such a device is. Unlike a typical foldable device, there’s more than one hinge to get dirty. It’s the entire screen that curls up, which collects and then carries the dirt inside. To see in practice what is there.
There is also another bonus, the icing on the cake! Intel has just partnered with Samsung and TMSC, two electronic chip makers, to develop custom processors. This means that on the same processor we can find micro-components from the three manufacturers within the same product.
Overall, this conference had a lot of access to developers and artificial intelligence. Especially the arrival of the new Intel 13000 processors, the teaser graphics card and this synchronization function will remain in our memories for a long time. For the future it will have to be seen whether the drop-down tablet is a concrete project or a simple prototype.
