2020 Porsche 718 Spyder is the Boxster, but better

The 718 Spyder is way more than just a Boxster with more power.

The 2020 Spyder is Porsche's most hardcore 718 model yet.

Unlike the rest of the 718 Boxster range, the Spyder uses a 4.0-liter, naturally aspirated flat-6 engine.

The Spyder produces 414 horsepower and 309 pound-feet of torque.

Every 718 Spyder comes with a six-speed manual transmission -- as it should.

Most of the chassis components are shared with Porsche's delightful 911 GT3 sports car.

The 718 Spyder has a long deck lid, under which you stow the manually folding fabric roof.

I'll admit, the roof is kind of pain in the ass to open and close.

Best to just leave it open, methinks.

With great power comes a great price. The 2020 718 Spyder starts at just over $93,000.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
