If you haven't caught up on the latest CES coverage, NVIDIA announced and released the latest version of DLSS late last night, or early this morning if you're in most of the rest of the world. DLSS 4.5 brings along major updates to frame generation and super resolution, including support for 6x Multi-Frame Generation as well as Dynamic Frame 
We already reported on the serious slick ROG Xreal R1 gaming glasses yesterday, but ASUS didn't come to CES 2026 with just one big reveal. The company's Republic of Gamers brand rolled out updated Zephyrus laptops with more GPU headroom, a bold new take on the dual-screen Zephyrus Duo, a Kojima Productions–themed Flow Z13 that looks like a 
NVIDIA's consumer graphics presentation at CES 2026 was more interesting than many, although we'll spoil the surprise up-front: there wasn't any new hardware. If you're holding onto hype about new GeForce GPUs, well, you might as well return to hibernation. Or keep playing ARC Raiders, or Chaos Zero Nightmare, or Helldivers 2, or Warframe, 
Last year's CES reveal from AMD was pretty cool. We got the Ryzen 9 9950X3D as well as the official launch of AMD's Ryzen AI Max 300 series—the "Strix Halo" family of super-APUs. AMD is heading up CES again this year, with Dr. Lisa Su delivering the opening keynote for the show. AMD's disclosures this year are a little thinner, though.
That's 
As promised, Intel has launched the Core Ultra Series 3 processors at CES 2026. These are the long-awaited "Panther Lake" chips, and if Intel's claims hold up under our own testing, they look incredibly impressive. Intel made some very big promises at the show: 24% improved multi-threaded performance versus its own Arrow Lake processors (despite 
There's a huge emphasis on PC gaming at CES, and that's understandable; gaming is the primary market keeping the PC alive as a platform. Still, people need PCs for both work and play, so MSI is launching a new family of PC products that are designed specifically for multi-tasking, image processing, remote collaboration, and "data-driven workloads." 
Okay, we know — you're tired of hearing about a hypothetical "Big Battlemage" GPU and just want Intel to launch the darn thing already. Hey, so do we! We can only report the news that comes to us, though, so until Intel pulls the trigger, we're gonna keep posting proof that the new parts exist. This latest one is arguably the most concrete 
Computer cooling primarily happens with regular old fans blowing air through a fixed heatsink assembly. This has various complexities; fans need a relatively large amount of space, and they make a lot of noise due to the mechanical action by which they move air. YPlasma thinks it has a better way: micro-plasma actuators moving ionic wind that 
UPDATE: Corsair has tweeted about this story, with an explanation and a promise to make the customer whole. Check out the company's response below:
This is a perfectly reasonable explanation, as we expected there would be. Corsair isn't some fly-by-night operation, and it did seem absurd on the face of things. Kudos to Corsair for making 
Coming from the early days of computing when we had half-a-dozen interfaces on a standard PC, none of which were compatible and few of which carried power, USB is a revelation. You can plug almost anything into a USB port and most of it will "just work". However, we feel that most users aren't really getting the full value out of their PC's 
It's easy to think of Cinebench as a purely synthetic benchmark given the way it works: you download a dedicated benchmark application, you run it from whatever folder, and it does its thing before spitting out a number that vaguely tells you how your system performs. That feels similar to synthetic benchmarks like 3DMark, which aren't directly 
For as long as cameras have existed, they've had a fundamental limitation: they can only focus on one depth plane at a time, and everything in front of or behind that plane gets blurred. That's simply the way lenses work, but researchers at Carnegie Mellon University just demonstrated a camera system that breaks that rule entirely. The new
