As Amazon kicks off its extended Black Friday Week, a wave of smart entertainment gear is showing off just how far home technology has come in 2025. Screens are bigger, audio is sharper, connectivity is faster, and even the lighting behind your TV can react dynamically to whatever you're watching. Whether you're trying to streamline your daily 
Intel has already established that the graphics parts of Panther Lake are using the Xe3 architecture, but that they will be branded as part of the Arc B-series. The given rationale is that the first-generation Xe3 graphics products utilizing the "Xe3-LPG" architecture will be something more like an evolution of the Xe2 architecture used in 
AMD's next CPU launch is going to be the Gorgon Point family. Don't wet yourself in excitement; they're primarily refreshed Strix Point silicon. At least, that's been the gist of all the leaks and rumors so far, but now we have yet another set of leaks that all but confirm the truth. New results found in the SiSoft Sandra database as well 
Intel's next truly interesting processor release—sorry, Arrow Lake Refresh—is going to be the launch of its Panther Lake mobile processors. As it turns out, we now know exactly when that's happening: not Q4 '25 as rumored, but indeed Q1 '26, at the Consumer Electronics Show in lovely Las Vegas. We know that because Intel itself said so. In 
When the original ASUS ROG Ally handhelds came out, they were followed by a long series of patches that radically improved both the software and hardware, adding new features, fixing bugs, and even directly improving the performance and efficiency of the devices thanks to power management tweaks and driver updates. The ROG Xbox Ally family 
Desktops PCs are faster than ever, with the speediest systems rivaling massive, warehouse-filling supercomputers from not even two decades ago. It may not cost as much as you think to have one of those 'speediest systems' yourself, though. In this post, we've picked out parts for a PC that is basically as bodacious as it gets—within the realm 
If you're among the horde of companies looking to integrate AI services into your workflows yet unwilling to pay OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, or Anthropic exorbitant API fees for their advanced models, why not host it yourself? That's exactly the pitch from Dell, who has just launched a new family of server products offering extremely high-performance 
One of the strangest parts of AMD's stagnation in the early 2010s was that it simply stopped releasing new desktop CPUs for a while. It's true that there wasn't much point in continuing the lineage of the inefficient (and unpopular) Bulldozer processors, but OEMs like "new" parts so they can sell systems with the "latest hardware". Despite 
A new wave of state-level proposals targeting virtual private networks has stirred up an unusual amount of alarm from digital-rights groups, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation isn't pulling punches. In a detailed critique published this week, the organization called efforts in Michigan and Wisconsin "misguided," "technically incoherent," 
DDR5 memory runs objectively high transfer rates; JEDEC specs go as high as 6.4 Gbps, and overclockers have taken DDR5 beyond the fastest LPDDR5X: all the way to over 13 Gbps. At these speeds, signal integrity becomes a first-order concern, and most systems can maintain peak performance only when running one module per channel. That generally
