During the benchmarks displayed at Intel’s booth on the show floor, DirectX 12 provided a fairly serious performance gains over the previous version. Last week

Exclusive: Key Industry Insider Jon Carvill Leaves Intel for Qualcomm

One of probably most important people in the industry (that you never heard off) decided to add another semiconductor company to his resume. After ATI, AMD, GlobalFoundries and Intel, his next destination is San Diego.Jon Carvill’s last job at Intel was trying to get the message of Intel Media business division out, but numerous delays and corporate inability to achieve a deal with content providers lead to a decision that Intel decided to start shopping it around. It looks like Jon got bored with the continuous roadmap slip ups and questions from media and analysts. Or worse, an uninformed Board of Directors. Before Intel Media, Jon
