According to recently discovered shipping manifests, Intel is developing a new processor series codenamed "Wildcat Lake," potentially succeeding their entry-level "Intel Processor" lineup based on Alder Lake-N. The documents, revealed by x86deadandback, suggest a 2025 launch timeline for these chips targeting lightweight laptops and mini-PCs. The shipping records from October 30 mention CPU reball equipment compatible with BGA 1516 sockets, measuring 35 x 25 mm, indicating early validation testing is underway. These processors are expected to be manufactured using Intel's advanced 18A process technology, sharing the same manufacturing node as the upcoming Panther Lake series. Early technical specifications of Wildcat Lake point to a hybrid architecture combining next-generation "Cougar Cove" performance cores with "Darkmont" low-power efficiency (LPE) cores in a 2P+4LPE configuration.

This design appears to separate the core clusters, departing from traditional shared ring bus arrangements, similar to the approach taken in Intel's Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake processors. While Wildcat Lake's exact position in Intel's product stack remains unclear, it could serve as a modernized replacement for the what were Pentium and Celeron processor families. These chips traditionally power devices like Chromebooks, embedded systems, and home servers, with the new series potentially offering significant performance improvements for these market segments. The processor is expected to operate in the sub-double-digit TDP power envelope, positioning it below the more powerful Lunar Lake series. Graphics capabilities will likely be more modest than Lunar Lake's Xe2 architecture, aligning with its entry-level market positioning.

Kingston at the 2024 Computex showed us their latest gaming and overclocking PC memory products, under its FURY brand. The star attraction here, is the FURY Impact DDR5 CAMM2 module. Kingston is partnering with MSI to bring this standard to the gaming PC space, as part of its new Project Zero ecosystem. A DDR5 CAMM2 is basically a dual-channel (4 sub-channel) DDR5 memory-on-a-stick. The module has wiring for both the channels and all four sub-channels, and a total of two ranks (1R/DPC). The module sits on a land-grid, just like the processor, and is held in place by a series of screws. When installed, a CAMM2 looks a lot more discreet than a bunch of DIMMs that stick out perpendicularly to the plane of the motherboard.

Kingston DDR5 CAMM2 will come in typical dual-channel capacities, such as 32 GB; with typical speeds. The CAMM2 standard was originally designed for mainstream notebooks and mini-PC desktops, but MSI adapted it to an ATX desktop motherboard with its Project Zero backside connectivity. Next up, we have the FURY Renegade RGB DDR5 series, with its high DDR5 speeds, and plenty of RGB bling. Densities range between 16 GB (1x 16 GB) to 96 GB (2x 48 GB), with popular densities along the way, such as 2x 16 GB, and 2x 24 GB. Speeds range between DDR5-6000, all the way till DDR5-8000 (with XMP 3.0).

This allows users to enjoy ultimate computing performance while also having a stylish and elegant product.

Today, ZOTAC Technology launched the ZOTAC ZBOX PI430AJ with AirJet, the first Mini-PC to feature AirJet the world's first solid-state active cooling chip. The ZBOX PI430AJ with AirJet, at a mere 115 mm x 76 mm x 22 mm, now boasts twice the performance thanks to AirJet, making it the most powerful device in its class. AirJet cools devices with breakthrough technology that meets the ever-increasing demands of today's consumers. AirJet's compact size and unique capabilities enable faster, thinner, lighter, silent, and dustproof devices.

Heat is the single biggest problem facing the electronics industry, and until now, manufacturers have used antiquated thermal solutions like mechanical fans or bulky ineffective heat sinks to remove heat. These inadequate thermal solutions cause devices to rapidly overheat, forcing manufacturers to reduce device performance after only a few seconds of operation. This means consumers never really get the full processor performance they pay for.

ZOTAC returns to COMPUTEX 2023 to showcase new innovations, from the world's first Mini-PC to feature Frore Systems' AirJet solid-state active-cooling chip, to various B2B solutions aimed at AI edge computing.

Event Highlights:

• ZBOX PI430AJ with AirJet, the world's first solid-state active-cooled Mini-PC
• ZBOX MAGNUS ONE and MAGNUS EN, with GeForce RTX 40 series and additional refreshed hardware
• ZBOX C-Series Mini PC with an Intel Alder-Lake N processor
• A full-range of B2B solutions, including NVIDIA JETSON systems, ZOTAC ZBOX PRO line-up, and NVIDIA Embedded GPU products
• A showcase of ZOTAC's partnership with Sony Animation's SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE, including a movie-inspired booth, graphics cards and custom PC casemods

Intel is preparing to expand its NUC mini-PC product line into the rugged industrial PC and signage PC segments with the NUC 13 Rugged.
