Intel Core i7-12650HX: the first Alder Lake-S/HX
Intel set to launch high-end Alder Lake-HX CPU series for laptops.
Intel to fuse off AVX512 on Alder Lake silicon going forward
Intel Alder Lake now physically lacks AVX-512
Some early Intel Alder Lake silicons shipped with AVX512 instructions enabled, despite officially not being supported.
The AVX512 issue had emerged even before Intel released its new 12th Gen Core CPU series. The company released an optimization guide for its new architecture that initially mentioned AVX512 instruction support, but only on the Performance cores. Intel quickly corrected itself by removing AVX512 support from the guide and later from the CPUs

NVIDIA Leaks: GeForce RTX 40 to have large L2 cache
While the company is still trying to figure out how the hackers gained so much information, the data that was already posted provides significant information of NVIDIA’s next architecture codenamed “Ada”.
NVIDIA RTX 40 GPUs will be equipped with up to 96 MB of L2 Cache, up to 90 MBs more than Ampere RTX GPUs. This is the latest information that has been discovered in the files that were leaked last week. The data
Hackers now demand NVIDIA should make their drivers open source or they leak more data
NVIDIA in even bigger trouble
Hackers that infiltrated NVIDIA systems are now threatening to release more confidential information unless the company commits to open sourcing their drivers.
Following (now) multiple reports of the ransom cyber attack on NVIDIA servers, the hacking group LAPSUS$ now demands NVIDIA should release their drivers for Windows, MacOS and Linux as open source. Should NVIDIA fail to meet this demand, the group threatens to release chipset files, graphics, and silicon information for existing and upcoming GPUs.
It is unclear what the stolen data contains
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 “Ada” GPU architecture specs allegedly leaked, up to 144 Streaming Multiprocessors
