Panther Lake couldn't have come at a better time for Intel
Startup claims light-based chip could deliver 10x Nvidia's performance at similar power
First look: Light, not silicon, may define the next leap in computing power. That's the bet Austin-based startup Neurophos is making as it challenges the idea that Moore's Law still governs the pace of performance progress. The company is developing a photonics-driven processor designed to do what decades of transistor scaling can no longer achieve: massive compute throughput without a proportional explosion in energy use.

The takeaway: If you've ever been to a CES in Las Vegas, you know how easy it is to get lost – not only amongst the convention halls, hotels, and meeting rooms, but also in the noise of all the announcements made at the event. Breaking through the nearly overwhelming tsunami of show news is no easy task, but with the benefit of a week to reflect on it all, it's clear that the PC category was unquestionably a big and successful part of the news story from the event.
Intel's Tejas CPU aimed for a clock speed so high it was never released. What was the target?
Before multicore took over, around the Pentium 4 era, Intel chased a clock speed so extreme it cancelled the processor outright.
The Ryzen 7 5800X3D Revisited, Four Years Later
