Intel and its partners have prepared for the Nova Lake launch, and even though we are months away, we might witness more leaks like these.

The LGA 1954 socket appeared out of nowhere in Taipei, and it's probably the first time we've seen a real one. The user @laurentschoice posted a pic of an LGA 1954 socket, mentioning that it was spotted in Taipei. It might be one of the early samples, prepared by some motherboard vendor, but it'

Creative Stage Pro Review – Compact Convenience with Surprisingly Solid Sound

Creative has quietly built a reputation for doing more with less. The Stage series has always been about delivering a clear upgrade over built‑in TV or monitor speakers without asking you to spend big or deal with complex setups.

The Stage Pro, despite already being released in 2025, somehow went a bit under my radar. That’s slightly surprising given how visible Creative’s Stage line has been over the years. But looking at it now, it’s very clear what this product

Apple’s AR Glasses To Replace The Vision Pro Lineup For Its Mass Market Appeal, But Display-Equipped Spectacles Still Several Years Away

The Apple Vision Pro may have been a commercial failure if the product is compared to sales brought in by other devices, but it has managed to create a stepping stone towards something that would be accepted by the masses; AR glasses. An analyst believes that the company scrapping the Vision Pro family in favor of these smart spectacles is the right call because these lightweight accessories have a higher chance of getting accepted by consumers. Unfortunately, one particular model with display functionality isn’t expected for several years.

Remedy, Insomniac, Rebel Wolves and More Are Colliding in September as GTA 6’s November Launch Warps the Entire AAA Calendar

September 2026 was already looking stacked before the State of Play , but yesterday it became veritably tragic for players' wallets.

There are at least five (possibly more, depending on your definition of the category) major triple-A releases squeezing in this month, in what's clearly a desperate effort to stay out of the veritable vortex that Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 will spin on the industry when it launches on November 19. They're also in fairly similar genres, practically forcing

Microsoft Treats Apple Users As Second-Class Citizens, Stripping Office 2019 Of Any Utility While Windows And Microsoft 365 Customers Remain Unscathed

When I bought a lifetime license for Office 2019 near the turn of the ongoing decade, I did not know that a "lifetime" to Microsoft is just around 7 years.

Report: China Closes HBM Gap With Korea To Just Three Years As CXMT Hits Technology Parity On HBM3

While China develops workarounds to US sanctions of high-end extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines, the shortage in the memory industry due to high demand from AI chips has created an opportunity for Chinese firms to gain market share, suggests a report from the Korean media. The aggressive approach, led by the Chinese government, has narrowed down the gap between China and Korea for HBM memory to three years, says the report. At the center of the rapid gain is China's CXMT, which also plans to issue its
