Leo Visits Intel: The Israel Travel VLOG!

I recently spent a week in Israel with Intel learning all about their 13th Gen Raptor Lake Core processors. We have already posted some Intel news, however the deep dive technical briefings are under NDA until next week. To tide you over we present a travelogue that could be titled ‘Leo Eats His Way Around Israel'

There were three main elements to the Intel trip to Israel. On the Monday we were briefed about Raptor Lake and specifically about the Raptor Cove P-Cores. We also covered an Intel discussion where Isic Silas, Corporate VP in Client Computing Group, gave some background to the development of Raptor Lake which we covered in a separate video HERE.

Also on the Monday we heard from Shlomit Weiss, Senior VP and General Manager of Design engineering who touched on the subject of Intel's fabrication processes and IDM 2.0 which Matthew ran in a news piece about the event HERE.

On the Tuesday we headed up to Haifa to the IDC (Israel Development Centre) where we saw all manner of automated testing stations that were hard at work on Raptor Lake. We were forbidden to take cameras into the test labs however we sat down for a conversation with Marcus Kennedy, General Manager of the Gaming, Creator and Esports Segment in the Client Computing Group at Intel Corporation, which you can check out HERE.

Our final port of call was Fab 28 at Kiryat Gat on the Wednesday. Once we were inside we were unable to take photos or video however we were able to get some snaps outside of the enormous Fab 38 that is being built next door to Fab 28. In our video you will see a load of B-roll of wafers moving around the Fab as they are transformed from sand into Raptor Lake CPUs.

KitGuru says: Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake will follow hard on the heels of AMD Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 and we predict a pitched battle between these new gaming CPUs.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
