Intel AVX10 Drops Optional 512-Bit: No AVX10 256-Bit Only E-Cores in the Future (phoronix.com)
Intel updated their AVX10 whitepaper and associated open-source compiler patches around this next Advanced Vector Extensions standard... While AVX10 had intended to allow either 256-bit or 512-bit modes depending upon processor capabilities, Intel has dropped the 256-bit-only approach and going for 512-bit everywhere.

Raytracing on Intel's Arc B580 (chipsandcheese.com)
Intel’s discrete GPU strategy has emphasized add-on features ever since Alchemist launched. Right from the start, Intel invested heavily in dedicated matrix multiplication units, raytracing accelerators, and hardware video codecs. Battlemage continues that trend. Raytracing deserves attention because raytraced effects are gaining prominence on an increasing number of titles.

Intel Xeon 6700P and 6500P Granite Rapids-SP for the Masses Initial Benchmarks (servethehome.com)
This Intel Xeon 6 series has been a launch we have been waiting on for around three quarters. Today, we have the launch of the Intel Xeon 6700P and Xeon 6500P series. These are the smaller Socket E2 (LGA4710-2) processors compared to the big socket Intel Xeon 6900P series. At the same time, they are not necessarily “lower-end” as they can scale to 4 sockets, eight sockets and beyond.
