Gigabyte said it is experiencing “serious” delays in product shipments due a slowdown in container processing at the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in California.
Intel Regains PC Market Share Against AMD AS CPU Capacity Expands
The semiconductor giant’s improved capacity for lower-end CPUs helped it regain share against AMD in PCs, even as AMD continued to grow fast. ‘This is an Indy 500 race, where both cars are going over 200 miles an hour, and one’s going a little faster,’ Mercury Research’s Dean McCarron says.

Intel wants to make it easier for partners to do business with the chipmaker through a new online portal that will allow them to access resources and manage benefits in a single interface with one login.
The new online portal is central to the new Intel Partner Alliance program, which launches Monday and consolidates previously disparate partner programs, including the Intel Technology Provider program and Intel IoT Solutions Alliance, under one umbrella. There, partners will be able to access training through Intel Partner University as well as sales lead and
Intel believes Optane memory technology is a “disruptive, once-in-a-decade invention” that requires a system-level approach to enable performance gains and other benefits for data-intensive workloads. NAND SSD technology can’t deliver on the same level of performance and reliability but remains a large, important and economical part of the storage equation albeit in the hands of a different owner.
Those were two of the takeaways from Intel executives and architects speaking at the company’s virtual Memory and Storage Moment event last week, where the chipmaker revealed new Optane memory and SSD products as well as new NAND SSD products, covering both the data center and PC markets.
Intel Makes Case For Optane’s Future As NAND Biz Splits Off
‘NAND needs greater scale to go after the world‘s insatiable appetite for more data, and Optane needs platform-connected solutions to focus on faster insights on that data,’ Intel’s Rob Crooke says, explaining the rationale for selling the NAND business and keeping the Optane memory technology.
