Intel to replace Pentium and Celeron brands with ‘Intel Processor’ for 2023 laptop CPUs

Intel Processor: a new product name for its low-tier mobile CPUs

The Processor will replace Celeron and Pentium in 2023 laptop CPUs.

A farewell to Celeron and Pentium. The company is making a ‘small’ adjustment to its product names moving forward. The company will now stop using both well-known brands for its next-generation laptops.

Report: Apple to Move a Part of its Embedded Cores to RISC-V, Stepping Away from Arm ISA

According to Dylan Patel of SemiAnalysis sources, Apple is moving its embedded cores from Arm to RISC-V. In Apple's Silicon designs, there are far more cores than the main ones that power the operating system and end-user applications. For example, embedded cores are present, and there are 30+ in M1 SoCs responsible for all kinds of workloads not related to the operating system. These tasks are usually associated with other functions such as WiFi/BlueTooth, ThunderBolt retiming, touchpad control, NAND
