Featured Announcement

RTX 3060 has arrived and we test the Gigabyte Gaming OC model. How fast is this GPU?

AMD confirmed it will be presenting new RX 6000 graphics cards on the 3rd of March at 16:00 PM GMT. During the announcement, we expect to see AMD detailing the Radeon RX 6700 series GPUs, including specs and pricing. 

AMD is allegedly preparing to launch two variants of the Radeon RX 6700 XT. Expected to release at the same time, the two variants of the card will feature different TGPs and presumably clock speeds. An April launch date is also hinted at. 

Until now, the only Rocket Lake-S processors spotted on benchmark databases have been Core i7 and i9 processors, but that has changed this week with the first Core i5 entry appearing on Geekbench 5. The new entry details the Intel Core i5-11600K, giving us some early performance numbers to compare against the competition. 

It looks like the next batch of Radeon GPUs are launching in one month's time...

Samsung has announced a new type of HBM. Named HBM-PIM, this is the world's first High Bandwidth Memory integrated with artificial intelligence processing power. Featuring a processing-in-memory design, HBM-PIM is aimed at data centre use, HPC systems, and AI-enabled mobile applications.

We are still quite far away from the launch of Intel Alder Lake CPUs, but early leaks keep coming. The latest leak comes from an alleged Intel presentation slide, detailing that Alder Lake CPU cores will feature a "20% single-threaded uplift" in performance compared to some previous architectures. Alder Lake also apparently boasts double the multi-thread performance of Tiger Lake-U. 

Samsung has announced that all of its Neo-QLED TVs will support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. This means gamers will be able to play at a smooth 120Hz refresh rate without tearing and with HDR enabled.

NZXT has issued a recall of all H1 case units sold in the United States of America and Canada. The voluntary recall has been announced by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada on February 12th and should affect over 33,000 units sold in both countries.

A new report has shed some light on what we might expect from AMD in the coming future. From Zen 3+, through Zen 4, and ending on Zen 5, it looks like AMD isn't slowing down on generational performance leaps in the coming years.

Back when AMD announced the Radeon RX 6000 series, the company mentioned that it would introduce an alternative to Nvidia DLSS for its products. Named Super Resolution, this AI upscaling technology is apparently coming out in March, alongside an update to Radeon Boost.

We've already had one Intel Core i9-11900K benchmark leak, but an updated test run this week shows improved performance. In a new Geekbench 5 run, the Core i9-11900K scored over 1,900 points in the single-core benchmark and 11,000 points in the multi-core benchmark.

Another EEC listing containing the Radeon RX 6700 XT has been spotted. This time, the listing has been made by ASRock and contains two other GPUs: the Radeon RX 6600 XT and the Radeon RX 6700.

This month, we are teaming up with Supermicro to give away a Z490 motherboard to one lucky winner. If you are preparing a new system upgrade, then this is the perfect prize...

Over the course of 2020, the PC market surged due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This has been particularly good for Intel, as the company has regained an impressive amount of market share in desktop PCs, laptops and servers.

Low supply of RX 6800 and RX 6900 GPUs has been an on-going problem, especially for those who want a reference design GPU at MSRP pricing. These graphics cards have been out of stock for a while now, but according to an AMD representative, more will be coming before the end of the quarter. 

Late last year, NZXT announced that it would be pausing sales and shipments of its Mini-ITX H1 case. This was due to a fire hazard caused by two screws included with the PCIe riser. New screws were sent out and the case went back on sale, but NZXT is pulling the case again...

The unreleased Intel Core i9-11900K has topped the PassMark single-core benchmark ranking thanks to benchmarks based on early samples.

Not long ago, AMD has announced its Ryzen 5000 Mobile processors, but it seems that there are a few SKUs that weren't revealed at that time. Now, thanks to a few HP laptop spec sheets and a mysterious benchmark entry, we know about the Ryzen 5 5650U and the Ryzen 7 5850U. 

Someone with early access to the upcoming Intel Core i9-11900KF stress tested it using a 360mm AIO CPU cooler. At stock settings, with an all-core frequency of 4.8GHz, the images shared by the user show the processor hitting 98ºC while under load.

The eight-core, sixteen-thread Ryzen 9 5980HS is a performance monster in its 35W TDP mode, but there are some quirky clock speed and throttling behaviours with the Flow X13 laptop. Let’s have a closer look...

Besides manufacturing the first DDR5 SO-DIMMs, TeamGroup also expects to be the “first to take Intel and AMD’s new platform validation tests”...

We are back with another giveaway this month! We have teamed up with DeepCool to offer not one, but TWO hardware bundles, each consisting of a case, CPU cooler, PSU and a set of fans. What's more, this competition is open worldwide!

3DMark Time Spy scores of the upcoming RTX 3060 and 3070 Mobile GPUs have surfaced. These GPUs will be featured in multiple mid/high-range gaming laptops in February, but thanks to this leak, we get our first glimpse of their performance before their launch.

During CES 2021, Nvidia announced the RTX 3060 graphics card, scheduled for a late February release. While Nvidia set the MSRP of this GPU at $329, early listings for board partner cards indicate that pricing will be significantly higher than that at launch.  

The PassMark CPU Mark ranking for laptop and portable CPUs has a new entry in the number one spot. The Ryzen 9 5900HX is the new number one laptop CPU in the PassMark CPU Mark benchmark rankings. 

A new entry for an Alder Lake-S 16-core processor paired with DDR5 memory has been found on the SiSoftware database. Although this isn't the first entry of an Alder Lake-S processor found in this database, it's the first time we've seen one with DDR5 memory being mentioned.

MSI is fast approaching their 35th anniversary and you may have seen that they’ve just announced their new line-up of next generation laptops featuring the latest Nvidia RTX 3000 graphics cards.
