Inspiring

Jaguar's designers looked at the company's past for some inspiration.

Exhausting

The V6 F-Types come with two centrally mounted exhausts, whereas the V8 comes with four (two on either side).

Powerful

Power outputs rise from 340 bhp (V6) to more than 500 bhp (V8 S).

Build quality

Jaguar's used aluminium extensively in the F-Type's construction.

Svelte

The door handles are hidden in the doors; not only do they look awesome, but they aid aerodynamics.

Nice sound

As well as looking good, all variants of the F-Type sound utterly brilliant.

Sporty look

The cockpit is all about the driver. Passengers get grab handles...y'know, because sports car.

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.
