Major chip architectural vulnerabilities like Spectre and Meltdown have not made security the first thing people think of when it comes to Intel CPUs. The company is trying to change that with their new Tiger Lake CPUs, which feature support for Control-flow Enforcement Technology, designed to shutdown malware at the silicon level. Intel has been working on this specification since 2016. Now in the wild, it could help shift the company’s security standing.

Ep. 7: What is Intel’s x86 Future?
Many of the discussions of Apple moving from x86 to ARM seem to be focused on how they’ll manage that migration. Less has been said about how Intel found itself going from the savior of Mac performance and efficiency in 2005 to the cause of product delays and stagnating innovation today. We break down the last 15 years of Intel’s x86 history, which saw a once-unstoppable march of technical progress grind to a halt, and signaling to a lot of industry observers that Moore’s Law had indeed ended. Aside from losing Apple as a major customer, where does Intel go from here? And will Intel look to the heady performance advantage it had in the past, or look to make a more well-rounded play for the future?

Intel Opens New Doors for Precision Timing
Following his participation in the Gestalt IT Showcase by Intel Corporation, panelist, John Herbert, reflects on the importance of accurate time synchronization in IT. Intel has created a solution for this by packaging the hardware functionality into their Edgewater Channel 10/25GbE PCIe network adaptors, allowing easy deployment of a PTP grandmaster wherever a mobility provider has an x86 server.
Haunted When the Minutes Drag: Hyper-Accurate Network Time Synchronization …Just for Fun!
After participating in the Gestalt IT Showcase by Intel Corporation, panelist, Micheline Murphy, reflects on what has pushed network time to its hyper-accurate limit and Intel’s solution to time synchronization needs in communications and IT.
Intel Tofino 2, Photonics, and the Future of Composability
After participating in the Gestalt IT Showcase by Intel Corporation, panelist, Adam Post, explores how Intel is creating efficient networks with silicon innovation. With the Tofino 2, Intel is taking things a step further by co-packaging their Silicon Photonics technology in the place of traditional optical transceivers, increasing the amount of bandwidth that can be efficiently consumed per-port.
Intel Ethernet Adapter
After participating in the Gestalt IT Showcase by Intel Corporation, panelist, Nick Buraglio, recognizes the important needs of time synchronization in communications and IT. In a world where networking plays an increasing role in almost every aspect of life, simplification, increased precision, and streamlining of operations is a near requirement. The integration of time sources into more systems will only increase.
