It’s been a while since we’ve talked about Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8cx platform for Windows 10 PCs. Like the Snapdragon 835 and Snapdragon 850 that came before it, the 7nm Snapdragon 8cx is a rather peculiar platform in that it is based on ARM architecture rather than an Intel- or AMD-based x86-64 platform.

Today, we’re witnessing

As we have been anticipating for several months now, AMD brought the boom with its Ryzen 3000 series of desktop processors based on its Zen 2 CPU architecture (topping out with the 12-core/24-thread Ryzen 9 3900X), and accompanying X570 chipset. As it pertains to the latter, AMD’s hardware partners are wasting no time announcing new motherboards.

Corsair has just unveiled a smoking fast new SSD at Computex 2019 called the MP600 M.2 SSD. The is PCIe 4.0-ready, which means that it will deliver its best performance when paired with AMD X570 motherboards. The SSD offers 4,950MB/sec sequential read speeds when used in PCIe 4.0 slots. Corsair says that is ten times the performance of many

If you thought that the Snapdragon 855 was a monstrous beast of a smartphone SoC, there’s more where that came from. Arm — the technology company behind the chip designs that power mobile SoCs from Qualcomm, Samsung and Huawei — has announced two major components that will go into next-generation SoCs.

The first is a new Cortex-A77 CPU,

At long last, AMD formally introduced its next-generation Ryzen 3000 series of desktop CPUs based on its Zen 2 architecture, along with an accompanying X570 chipset. Coinciding with the announcement, ASUS opened up its warchest of new X570 motherboards, but there are several other hardware partners with X570 boards of their own. Let’s have

Asus is at Computex 2019 and is celebrating three decades of new products at the show with some limited-edition devices. ASUS is showing off the ZenBook Edition 30 (UX334FL) notebook that has up to 8th generation Intel Core i7 quad-core CPUs, NVIDIA GeForce MX250 graphics, 16GB of RAM, PCIe SSDs, and gigabit class WiFi. The display on the

AMD sparked quite a firestorm earlier this month when its latest May 2019 CPU roadmap removed references to the third-generation Ryzen Threadripper processors. The Ryzen Threadripper 3000 processors, however, did show up in an earlier March 2019 CPU roadmap update. 

Needless to say, speculation ramped up as to what was exactly going on

NVIDIA has an obviously vested interest in seeing ray-traced gaming take off in a big way, as the higher end versions of its latest generation Turing cards are primed for that very thing—all of the RTX models sport dedicated RT and Tensor cores for real-time ray tracing and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). So, it’s no surprise that NVIDIA

When shopping a laptop for playing games, it’s imperative that you get one with the fastest GPU you can afford, since it can’t be upgraded in the vast majority of notebooks. The CPU, RAM, and storage also deserve consideration, but don’t overlook the display. ASUS certainly isn’t—through its Republic of Gamers (ROG) division, ASUS announced

NVIDIA on Monday announced a new platform and certification program aimed at making it easy for creators to identify which laptops will suit their needs. It’s called NVIDIA Studio, and laptops that bear the badge combine GeForce RTX GPUs with NVIDIA’s Studio Stack of specialized SDKs and dedicated drivers to run the top creative applications.
