Intel has had a rough trot with chip-level security flaws in the past couple of years and it seemed as though it had gotten on top of them. Unfortunately, security researchers have discovered a new chip-level vulnerability affecting most Intel CPUs made in the past five years but this time it doesn’t look like a software patch will fix it.

2020 could be the year of the iMac, according to multiple reports. Not only is Apple apparently due to refresh the 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac, but a new iMac Pro is on the cards too. While the former could arrive as soon as this month, the iMac Pro is not due until Q4 2020. The iMac Pro may be worth the wait though, with Apple reportedly bringing mini-LED technology the all-in-one workstation.

A Geekbench 5 compute score of what is likely to be the Intel Xe DG1 dGPU has surfaced and the result isn't really convincing. The Xe DG1 seems to trail behind six-year old mobile GPUs in this particular benchmark. Even if we consider the fact that the software stack is still under development, it looks like it will be quite some time before Xe can be actually competitive against current entry-level offerings from NVIDIA and AMD.

The XL-FLASH non-volatile memory promises to be almost as fast as the DRAM volatile memory, yet its price should still be in the 3D NAND range. Kioxia claims the latency times are 10 times lower than traditional 3D NAND and the transfer speeds along with the IOPS are considerably improved, especially for small files and random read/write operations.

No test results here, just some quick specs. The $0000@ Cooper Lake-SP server-grade model comes with 14 cores / 28 threads clocked at 3.2 GHZ, is coupled with just 8 GB of RAM, and integrates a DG1 GPU. The test system includes a WHITLEY motherboard that is also compatible with 10 nm ice Lake-SP.
