INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
For a long time Intel was the king of gaming processors, and while AMD has been putting up a brilliant fight recently, as you can see from
to the challenge to keep on producing hardware that keeps up with our demands.We sat down with Steve Shakespeare, EMEA Enterprise Solutions
the processor wars between Intel and its rival AMD have been renewed, with a re-invigorated AMD winning over a lot of PC gamers and
enthusiasts with its well-received Ryzen line of processors, which includes the brilliant 16-core Threadripper 1950X.Not to be outdone,
Intel fought back with some excellent processors of its own, including the Intel Core i7-8700K and the beastly 18-core Intel Core i9-7980XE
ambitious, with Intel announcing its plans to launch a 28-core processor later this year, which runs at 5GHz
from this gaming audience."Steve ShakespeareIt's certainly an exciting time for processors, and according to Shakespeare, Intel shares that
insatiable desire for computing power from this gaming audience
It amazes me what people want to do, right Not only do they want to play a great game, which in and of itself is intensive on the CPU,
intensive on graphics as well, but they also maybe want to record that, they want to stream it onto Twitch, they want to have a real-time
conversation with people, and watching other stuff at the same time
for desktops and notebooks
powerful, alongside thinner dedicated graphics cards which can fit inside thin and light notebooks, gaming laptops are becoming ever more
up to 40% stronger performance, generation on generation
phenomenally powerful systems that are going to be able to play games at super-high settings, and offer that really immersive experience
So, you might have some of the cores playing the game, some of the cores enabling your Twitch streaming, some of the cores maybe recording,
18-core processors Intel released last year which offer up even more impressive multitasking performance
While these Core i9 beasts are aimed at enthusiasts who need the very cutting edge technology and performance, Intel is careful to make sure
that occupied a room, that kind of controlled a city Well, now you can get it on your desktop and run that
So, one of the things that we are doing with our processors is making sure that we can enable the best virtual reality gaming experience as
you need a great graphics card and you need a great CPU
When in a virtual reality world, you want it to behave realistically
presents that on the screen
are following esports, and for Intel this is a really important endeavour
We work with the electronic sport league, with the ESL, and we have the Intel Extreme Masters competition
And you suddenly appreciate it
And, we want to help enable that
broadcast that so the audience can see it
million streaming viewers of the event
stream it out onto Twitch
So again, you need a strong platform to do that
our passion with in-depth and exclusive coverage of PC gaming from every angle
