To maximize the power of your desktop computer, you should invest in a 4K monitor like the Dell S2721QS. Intel gives a peek at what its Arctic Sound GPU could look likeĥ ways Intel’s ‘Ice Lake’ processors will make your next laptop awesome It supports Intel Core processors from the 6 th-generation or newer. Intel Command Center is available now from the Microsoft Store. ![]() There isn’t really a playbook for how you make the right experience for a million processors, many of which have entry-level graphics horsepower, and then roll that up.” “There really isn’t a playbook for this,” Chris Hook said on this point. Intel says it’s amping up efforts to collect feedback from Twitter and Reddit, and the company’s looking into ways to collect feedback directly from the Command Center software. The messaging seems built to counter any concern that Intel’s latest attempt at competition might, like past efforts, fall to the wayside if it fails to immediately bear fruit.Ĭommunity outreach is also a part of the effort. ![]() “So, what we’re trying to rationalize is, what are the right controls for the audience today, and how does that evolve so we can have a singular control panel?” Hook stressed that Intel wants to get the software “really, really right,” even if it takes time and multiple iterations. “We know sometime in 2020 we’re going to become a discrete graphics company,” said Hook. Launching Intel Command Center now is clearly an attempt to get gamers familiar with the new look of Intel software and work out any bugs well before the company launches discrete graphics next year. Some gamers still remember those issues and refuse to buy AMD video cards because of them (we still receive comments about it on Digital Trends, despite the fact AMD drivers have been solid for years). At the same time, Hook reminisced about the bad-old-days of AMD drivers, which gained a dubious reputation for poor reliability and optimization about a decade ago. Chris Hook boasted that “ supports about one billion graphics processors in the market.” He also said the company launched 14 day-of graphics drivers through 2018, optimizing for 55 games on day one and 91 new games total. Intel talked up the company’s commitment to quality graphics drivers. Intel’s ‘Arctic Sound’ discrete graphics are coming Players will be able to adjust settings manually in Command Center if desired and save custom profiles for each game. Software that points gamers in the right direction should be a boon. Optimization is difficult when you don’t have much to work with. Why? Because Intel’s integrated graphics make do with minimal performance. Though the competition debuted this feature first, it may prove more important to Intel than Nvidia or AMD. One-click optimization will support 30 games at launch, including titles like World of Tanks and Civilization VI. When asked, Chris Hook said the software will target a 30 FPS experience at 720p or 1080p resolution, depending on the game and the performance offered by the hardware you have. It does what it says on the tin, automatically changing PC and in-game settings to improve performance. While the new software will include the features you’d expect from past Intel graphics software, it’ll also add new options that are tailored for gamers. And the gamer is going to care the most about things like, where is my V-Sync.” Offering all things for all people is never easy, but the Command Center seems to pull it off well, and it looks distinct from the competition. “This is a control panel the corporate user has to be comfortable with, but you don’t want to turn the gamer off. Chris Hook, Intel’s Graphics and Visual Technologies Marketing Chief, says the design was a balancing act. Command Center offers a sleek, simple, flat look that coordinates well with Windows 10. The redesign starts with, well, the design. ![]()
