Intel on Tuesday announced a new line of 8th generation Core vPro mobile processors for business laptops and, to an extent, portable workstations. The launch comes just one week after rival AMD rolled out new Ryzen Pro and Athlon Pro mobile processors for the same segments, underscoring the competitive landscape that exists between the two

While Intel is currently “stuck” on the 14nm process node for its volume production processors, other players in the industry have been shipping 7nm chips for months. 7nm SoCs have been developed by Apple, Huawei, and Samsung, while AMD has pushed out the 7nm Radeon VII and is preparing for volume shipments of 7nm Zen 2-based processors.

Well, what do we have here? It appears as though AMD is getting ready to launch a special version of its Ryzen 7 2700X processor to commemorate 50 years in the semiconductor business, a milestone it will reach just over two weeks from now, on May 1. If you recall, Intel did something similar in celebration of 40 years of x86 computing with

There is hope that one day in the perhaps not-too-distant future, organ donors will not be needed. Not because the human race is going extinct (thought that’s certainly a possibility), mind you, but because scientists have achieved a medical breakthrough by producing the world’s first 3D printed heart, using a patient’s own cells.

We’ve been hearing a lot over the past few months about the hardware that will power the next generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony. Most speculation has centered around both consoles being powered by 7nm AMD Zen 2-based processors that are backed with 7nm Navi-based Radeon GPUs. Today, a new report is shedding more light on the hardware

Intel has been having a bear of a time keeping Coffee Lake Refresh processors that have not yet been released under wraps. Leak after leak have provided curious folks such as ourselves with unofficial glimpses of the not-yet-released Coffee Lake Refresh CPUs, several of which have now been posted on a UK retailer’s website.

To be clear,

One of the advantages to owning a custom PC from a boutique builder is the meticulous attention to detail. Tight cable management is not just a perk, it is an expectation when paying a premium for a boutique shop to assemble your rig with off-the-shelf components, and having to wait a bit longer compared to buying from a bulk OEM is an inherent…

Earlier today, Intel released new 8th generation Whiskey Lake-U Core i5 and Core i7 vPro processors that are geared towards the business market. Now, Hewlett-Packard is among the first OEMs to deliver new systems based on the new Whiskey Lake-U chips in the EliteBook 800 G6 and ZBook product families.

Apple hasn’t exactly had smooth sailing with its high-end and ultra-expensive iPad Pro. The tablet was criticized in what has been called “bendgate” because it is prone to bending under minimal pressure. A bizarre problem has now been confirmed by Apple, and if you own the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, this issue might have never crossed

For people that like to carry a thin-and-light notebook around with them, but might on occasion need some extra graphics horsepower either for games or professional work, external GPU enclosures are a blessing. Rather than be limited by a meager Intel IGP, for example, you can toss in a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti into an enclosure to instantly boost
