LAS VEGAS - American chipmaker Intel is making its first foray into the dedicated graphics card market currently dominated by rivals Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Nvidia with the launch of its own Intel Arc graphics chips.

......

Mr Gregory Bryant, Intel's executive vice-president, said on Tuesday that the new laptop chips are up to 40 per cent faster than the previous generation.

He claimed Intel's new top-end Core i9-12900HK is the most powerful laptop CPU made and can even outperform the likes of AMD's 5900HX and Apple's M1 Max.

......

AMD announced its new Ryzen 6000 line of laptop CPUs.

Its chief executive and president, Dr Lisa Su, said the new chips have twice the graphics processing power of the previous-generation Ryzen 5000 series.

They also incorporate AMD's RDNA2 graphics architecture in an integrated laptop graphics chip for the first time, which removes the need for users to add a separate mobile graphics card.

......

The Ryzen 6000 series of laptop processors are also the first to integrate the Microsoft Pluton security chip

......

The addition of the Pluton chip will boost the defences of Window PCs using Ryzen 6000 CPUs against emerging security threats by protecting critical data such as system credentials, user identities, encryption keys and personal information, Dr Su added.

Meanwhile, Nvidia senior vice-president Jeff Fisher revealed its beefiest desktop graphics card yet, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which is an upgraded version of its top-of-the-line RTX 3090 launched in 2020.

Boasting 40 teraflops of graphics procession power, the RTX 3090 Ti is theoretically about 11 per cent faster than the RTX 3090's 36 teraflops.
