Core i7-6660U is the new Intel processor for Ultrabook

New update in the range of Intel processors for notebook systems, the one reported by CPU-World. Specifically it is the Core i7-6660U CPU, a proposal for low-power systems of the family of ultra-thin Ultrabook which joins the model Core i7-6650U offering a higher clock frequency of 200 MHz as the maximum.

The full specifications of this CPU include two cores with HyperThreading technology, the clock frequency of 2.4 GHz and a last level cache type of 4 Mbytes of capacity. The manufacturing technology used is the one to 14 nanometers, with Skylake architecture. We do not know at this stage the maximum working frequency in Turbo mode of this CPU: for the model Core i7-6650U this figure is equal to 3.4 GHz, therefore, it is conceivable that for Intel Core i7-6660U can be pushed over 100 MHz or 200 MHz as the maximum.

This CPU integrates within itself even video subsystem, in the form of Intel Iris 540 GPU, all while maintaining a TDP in the 15-Watt as the maximum threshold. The list price indicated by Intel is $ 415, for lots of 1,000 processors taxes excluded.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
