Intel entered the discrete graphics card market two years ago with its Alchemist architecture. The launch was highly anticipated, as the company entered a market dominated by NVIDIA and AMD for decades. But not everything went as planned. Intel's Arc A-series "Alchemist" graphics cards launched after much delay & even a delayed launch couldn't help the blue team's case as it was plagued with severe driver issues, software problems, and general gaming issues. This left a sour note in the minds of folks who had been waiting to see what Intel had to offer. Following the launch, there were several […]

In early 2023, we got our first taste of the latest PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSDs, offering up to 10,000 MB/s read and write capabilities. These drives were fast but we knew that faster drives would be entering the market sooner or later as the technology matured. Furthermore, Gen5 platforms are more accessible to a wider range of audiences with the introduction of mainstream AMD & Intel motherboards. While offering 10 GB/s speeds as a start, SSD manufacturers have quickly started rolling out faster drives by optimizing thermal designs and utilizing enhanced NAND solutions.

AMD's high-performance CPU journey continues on the desktop platform with the arrival of the Zen 5 core architecture. The new architecture has several fundamental changes that allow huge performance uplifts in single-core and multi-core applications. These can be attributed to the 16 percent IPC improvement that the new architecture has on offer. Replacing the AMD Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" CPUs, the Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" CPUs do not change the core configurations but enhance them in certain ways. The architectural upgrades allow Zen 5 chips to run cooler, consume lower power, and support the latest features on existing and upcoming […]
