Intel will formally start high volume manufacturing (HVM) of chips using its Intel 4 process technology at its Fab 34 near Leixlip, Ireland, on Friday, September 29, 2023. This will mark the first time extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is used for European mass production.
Intel's Fab 34 in Ireland will be the company's second semiconductor production facility equipped to make chips on the Intel 4 fabrication process after the company's D1
Over the last couple of days, numerous reports have revealed that Intel's recently announced Meteor Lake SoC, primarily a mobile platform, would be coming to desktop PCs. Intel has further clarified that while their Meteor Lake processors will be featured in desktop systems next year, they won't power traditional socketed desktop PCs. Instead, these CPUs, primarily crafted for laptops, will be packaged in ball grid array (BGA) formats, making them suitable for compact desktops and all-in-one (AIO) devices

Samsung accidentally added an unreleased and unannounced SSD — the 990 Evo — to the Samsung Magician's requirement page (spotted by ComputerBase ). The apparent slip-up seems to confirm that the company is indeed making a mainstream version of the 990 Pro, which would be the first Evo drive since the 970 Evo Plus.
This isn't the first we've heard of the 990 Evo: a year ago the 99
Although Intel's Meteor Lake processors will power desktop computers next year , they will not power desktop PCs with sockets, the company clarified. Since the new CPUs are predominantly designed for laptops, they will come in ball grid array (BGA) packages and be used for compact desktops and all-in-one machines.
"Meteor Lake is a power efficient architecture that will power innovative mobile and desktop designs, including desktop form factors such as All-in-One (AIO),
No LGA-1851 for Meteor Lake.
In an interview with PCWorld Michelle Johnston Holthaus (Intel Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Client Computing Group) has clearly said that Meteor Lake chips are coming to desktops in 2024. The problem with this statement is that Holthaus did not actually mean a desktop socket but rather a desktop form factor which spans across a variety of systems.
Obviously, the vast majority of users will never call
