Intel’s loss is AMD’s gain as EPYC server CPUs benefit from Intel’s delays

Enlarge / AMD’s EPYC server processors are benefitting from Intel’s delays. (credit: AMD) Earnings reports for tech companies this quarter have been mixed at best. Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, and others have managed to eke out a little growth, while the likes of Meta and Nintendo shrank a little, and most companies’ projections for the next quarter… Read More »

New working speculative execution attack sends Intel and AMD scrambling

Enlarge Some microprocessors from Intel and AMD are vulnerable to a newly discovered speculative execution attack that can covertly leak password data and other sensitive material, sending both chipmakers scrambling once again to contain what is proving to be a stubbornly persistent vulnerability. Researchers from ETH Zurich have named their attack Retbleed because it exploits… Read More »

A new vulnerability in Intel and AMD CPUs lets hackers steal encryption keys

Enlarge Microprocessors from Intel, AMD, and other companies contain a newly discovered weakness that remote attackers can exploit to obtain cryptographic keys and other secret data traveling through the hardware, researchers said on Tuesday. Hardware manufacturers have long known that hackers can extract secret cryptographic data from a chip by measuring the power it consumes… Read More »

Intel launches its next-generation neuromorphic processor—so, what’s that again?

reader comments 52 with 45 posters participating Share this story [embedded content] Mike Davies, director of Intel’s Neuromorphic Computing Lab, explains the company’s efforts in this area. And with the launch of a new neuromorphic chip this week, he talked Ars through the updates. Despite their name, neural networks are only distantly related to the… Read More »

Hackers can use just-fixed Intel bugs to install malicious firmware on PCs

Enlarge (credit: Getty Images) As the amount of sensitive data stored on computers has exploded over the past decade, hardware and software makers have invested increasing amounts of resources into securing devices against physical attacks in the event that they’re lost, stolen, or confiscated. Earlier this week, Intel fixed a series of bugs that made… Read More »
