Windows 10: Can anyone help me? I'm new to gaming. Do i need to update intel cpu driver like nvidia?

Nvidia has benchmark on drivers and does cpu driver matter? Should i get the latest dch driver or the one given by manufacturer? (manufacturer last update is 2 yrs ago)

Intel Is Developing A Desktop Gaming GPU To Fight Nvidia, AMD

Sounds much like a normal progression for Intel. They have to have a Licensing agreement to provide graphics in their CPUs. They had one with Nvidia until it expired last year. Due to the fact that Nvidia won a lawsuit against Intel for 1.5 Billion a while back, they are not renewing that license. Next they hired AMDs lead Radeon GPU designer. They announced CPus with Radeon graphics for small form factors several months ago New 8th Gen Intel Core Processors with Radeon RX Vega M Graphics - Windows 10 Forums

They also announced a new technology with AMD graphics for laptops supposedly aimed at gamers and content creators.
Intel and AMD team up for New 8th Gen EMIB CPU for laptop - Windows 10 Forums

This may just be the next step in the progression. I suspect Intel really wants to compete with nvidia in the AI arena, which Nvidia has done quite well in. AMD needs money, which Intel has plenty of. Intel is looking for new markets to expand to.

With all the cut throat competition between AMD and Intel, this cooperation may look rather strange. But, when big money is involved differences can be overlooked.

 

Windows 10, windows update Intel drivers question

I understand, my question is WHY does it continue to list "driver" updates that it then does not install?

Is it telling me to go to get the driver updates, like from Intel? Don't I NEED updates for my CPU if they are recommended from intel? I mean why would it list something like motherboard chipset and CPU driver updates that it then chooses not to install
and THEN won't give me any more information as to why?

I can't even tell you what the update is because it ONLY lists them when there are other updates, and if NOD 32 doesn't notify me about the updates, the system updates by itself and the "recommended driver" updates are then gone till next month OR the next
update cycle.

Bahh, never mind, I'll try another forum. There has to be a way to make this OS list "recommended" driver updates

thanks for replying Deepika,

RC.

PS: it's not a video driver update, these are intel motherboard chipset drivers AND some sort of intel CPU driver.

 

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.
