In a world of bigger numbers, bigger performance, bigger builds and bigger pricing…can a $500 ultra small form-factor PC find its place? The Liva Z5 Plus from ECS IPC contains an Intel Core i5-1335U, 16GB of RAM and a 256GB M.2 SSD….and it’ll nearly fit in the palm of your hand. But does this small build mean small performance?

Today Dominic takes a look at the Corsair H100X cooler - one that Corsair wouldn't sample themselves directly. We got one from Overclockers UK because we wanted to see how this Coolit designed cooler would perform for the price. Spoiler: it performs well, but it can get really loud!

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger took to video to outline his IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturing) 2.0 Vision during the company’s global “Intel Unleashed: Engineering the Future” webcast.
Video is much safer than a Press conference or an interview as you don't have to face any questions or substantiate the claims that you make.

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
Announcing manufacturing expansion plans; beginning with $20 billion investment to build two new fabs in Arizona
Intel 7 nanometer process development progressing well with tape in of 7nm compute tile for “Meteor Lake” expected in the second quarter of 2021
Announcing Intel Foundry Services with plans to become a major provider of foundry capacity in the U.S. and Europe to serve customers globally
Announcing plans for new research collaboration with IBM
Bringing the spirit of Intel Developer Forum event back this year with Intel Innovation event planned for October in San Francisco
IDM 2.0 represents the combination of three components that will enable the company to drive sustained technology and product leadership:
Today, Gelsinger re-affirmed the company’s expectation to continue manufacturing the majority of its products internally. The company’s 7nm development is progressing well, driven by increased use of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) in a rearchitected, simplified process flow.
Intel expects to tape in the compute tile for its first 7nm client CPU (code-named “Meteor Lake”) in the second quarter of this year.
"In addition to process innovation" - say what?
Intel’s leadership in packaging technology is an important differentiator that enables the combination of multiple IPs or “tiles” to deliver uniquely tailored products that meet diverse customer requirements in a world of pervasive computing.
So that's tiles rather than chiplets.
Expanded use of third-party foundry capacity. Intel expects to build on its existing relationships with third-party foundries, which today manufacture a range of Intel technology – from communications and connectivity to graphics and chipsets. Gelsinger said he expects Intel’s engagement with third-party foundries to grow and to include manufacturing for a range of modular tiles on advanced process technologies, including products at the core
