Intel seems to have figured out a very smart way to improve battery life on laptops. The processor maker announced its new Low Power Display spec at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan today, and claims adhering to the spec could improve battery life on laptops by anywhere from four and eight hours.

The idea, according to Intel, is that display makers will build displays based on the spec and that then the integrated graphics unit on Intel processors will control the display, automatically adjusting brightness and refresh rate to maximize battery life. The way Intel describes it might conjure thoughts of Nvidia’s G-Sync or AMD’s Freesync technology.

That tech automatically has a GPU speak to a display so that the frames rendered by the GPU match the refresh rate perfectly. Intel’s new tech would also speak with the display, but it sounds like it would have even more control. For example, if you’re looking at a static image on your laptop, you don’t need the screen refreshing the image 60 times a second to match the 60Hz refresh rate of the display. Instead it might only refresh it once a second, and only crank back up to 60 when the CPU tells it you’re moving the mouse or typing on the keyboard.

Brightness could also be altered. Currently displays have adaptive brightness, where brightness adjusts based on the light in your environment. Displays made to the Low Power Display spec would apparently be smarter about that brightness—though it should be noted that Intel hasn’t actually specified how these displays would be smarter.

The panels built to spec would also only use 1 watt of power, (Intel claims that’s approximately half of what laptop displays currently use), but beyond that, they’ll look just like the displays on laptops now. You could theoretically still have high resolutions, solid pixel density, and the great colors currently available on the most appealing laptop displays.

In internal testing, Intel says it has seen a laptop with 20 hours of battery life jump up to 24 hours after it was outfitted with a Low Power Display, and it claims it’s seen four to eight hours-worth of improvement with other laptops. However the final spec has not yet been agreed upon by Intel and its display partners, and there’s no telling how many laptop makers would adopt it or regularly incorporate it into their current line of devices.

Besides improving battery life with the new Low Power Display spec, Intel has also announced two new CPU families expected to arrive by the end of the year. First there’s 15-watt Whiskey Lake, which will be 9th Generation U-series processors that you might find in your traditional laptops like the Dell XPS or Apple Macbook Pro. Whiskey Lake’s existence was first rumored back in December 2017, and it is presumably a further refinement of the 14nm process Intel’s current CPUs are based on. (Intel has provided no details beyond the name.)

The second CPU family is codenamed Amber Lake and will be 4.5W Y-series processors like you might find in the Google Pixelbook or the Apple Macbook. As with Whiskey Lake, Intel has provided no details on Amber Lake. And unlike Whiskey Lake, there are no rumors currently available about Amber Lake. So we know very little.

Both families will launch sometime later this year. The last generation, Kaby Lake R, first arrived in August 2017.

Dell Reports Climbing Sales In Midst Of Strategic Options Review

Dell Technologies Inc., the world’s largest private technology company, reported an upbeat first quarter, signaling the improving corporate IT spending environment has boosted its fortunes.

Revenue climbed 19 percent to $21.4 billion in the period ending May 4, the Round Rock, Texas-based company said in a statement Monday. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization jumped 33 percent to $2.38 billion. Net income excluding some items soared 54 percent to $1.17 billion from a year earlier.

Chief Executive Officer Michael Dell has been considering strategic options for the computer- and server-maker, such as a combination with software affiliate VMware Inc. or an initial public offering for Dell. The company tried to revamp itself as a cloud player by offering customers software from a suite of smaller companies in which it’s invested, in a bid to take back sales from Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp.

In April, Dell pursued an IPO for Pivotal Software Inc., a software and service company tucked into its empire. Some of its other investments also entered public markets last quarter.

This has helped boost Dell’s cash and investments balance, which stood at $21.7 billion at the end of the last quarter -- an increase of $6.7 billion from a year earlier. The company paid down $3.1 billion of its $40 billion in debt so far this fiscal year, most of which stemmed from its 2016 purchase of EMC Corp.

Demand for Dell’s servers and networking rose 41 percent to $4.59 billion last quarter, and the company leads the market in server shipments, according to Gartner.

Dell has fostered tighter product integrations with VMware that help manage customer workloads with Dell hardware and VMware software. The companies also each sell the other’s products to existing and new customers.

Like rival Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., Dell has prioritized high-end servers that offer more computing power -- systems that often have greater profit margins per unit. The company has sought to position itself to support artificial-intelligence and internet-of-things applications, which it believes could boost demand for hardware to process more information at the so-called “edge,” away from central data centers.

Dell’s storage hardware business grew 10 percent to $4.08 billion. Less-specialized alternatives have struggled in the public-cloud era, when companies can keep data lodged with Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure, but analysts have seen Dell out-competing the market, which its EMC arm has competed in since the 1970s.

“Storage systems spending is forecasted to grow 9.8 percent year-over-year in the first quarter of 2018 and we expect, when IDC releases first-quarter market share, Dell EMC’s storage business will outperform the market and gain share,” said Matt Eastwood, an analyst at industry research firm IDC.

Dell’s computer unit rose 14 percent from a year earlier, to $10.3 billion in sales last quarter -- driven by commercial sales to businesses. The company’s computer market share has grown significantly, according to IDC.

StarTech USB-A 3.0 to Ethernet

When it comes to Ethernet adapters, many people just want two things: good performance and a low price. Awarded an Editors Choice by PCMag, the site had this to say in its review:

The problem with USB adapters as mentioned: Speeds tend to disappoint performance-wise, but StarTech's adapter is one of the best I've tested. Remember: a speedy adapter such as this won't bump up your Internet connection speeds, but it will help your internal network connectivity when transferring files and streaming multimedia, for example.

This adapter is compatible with 10/100/1000 networks and even has a bit of a brain built in; if you plug it into a USB 2.0 port, it will remind you that speeds are at least twice as fast when used with USB 3.0. Available in three colors and starting at about $34, this is a serious option for many people looking to add Ethernet to their XPS through a USB-A port.

Chosen as one of our top picks in our roundup of best USB 3.0 hubs because of its Ethernet port, this adapter from Anker is here for the opposite reason. Its Ethernet port supports 10/100/1000 networks to ensure you can connect pretty much everywhere, and LEDs on the port ensure you that data is moving as it should be. The three USB-A 3.0 ports along the top of the adapter support transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.
