The EXP 12 Speed 6e builds on the momentum of its EXP 10 Speed 6 concept from two years ago.

This one ditches the hard roof and replaces its gas engine with electric motors.

Thankfully, the alterations preserved the exterior's gorgeous looks.

The goal of the concept was to provide the grand touring experience -- long trips in a big, comfortable car.

The car can be charged wirelessly, but a port hidden behind the license plate will get owners some juice in a pinch.

The interior is an exercise in making things look as fancy as possible.

Its steering wheel is very... conceptual.

That burgundy leather looks like a couch in an expensive lawyer's office.

Then again, this car probably appeals to lawyers who charge a lot of scratch, so it makes sense.

Let's hope some of this makes its way to the next generation of Bentley's Continental.

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.
