The processor is set to launch in nearly two weeks, but early listings have already started to surface.
AMD's new flagship Zen 5 chip is arriving on April 22 , but it has already started appearing on some retailers. Keep in mind that these are not final or official prices and appear to be placeholders instead. As far as the listings are concerned, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition can be seen on multiple UK and Canadian retailers.
Rumors regarding Intel Nova Lake's performance and clocks have started roaming the web, with the IPC being mentioned as higher than AMD Zen 6 .
The latest rumor comes from HXL ( ), who has posted rumored information regarding the IPC and clock speeds of upcoming CPU architectures such as Intel's Coyote Cove and AMD's Zen 6.
Intel Coyote Cove P-Core architecture will be featured on the
Another monitor maker just introduced its 1000+Hz gaming monitor for competitive gaming, and this one is a dual-mode monitor, too.
We have at least 3-4 monitor makers who have announced their 1000 Hz gaming monitor models in the past few months. HKC and its subsidiary, Antgamer, were the first vendors in China to introduce a 1000 Hz gaming monitor , and now it's Titan Army, which has teased its latest 1060 Hz offering
During a GTC 2026 session titled " ," NVIDIA showcased its Neural Texture Compression (NTC) technique once again.
Neural Texture Compression was showcased for the first time nearly three years ago and has been available via an SDK since early 2026 , but so far, no game developers have used it. Perhaps that is why NVIDIA has once again taken the chance to explain its potential benefits.
Senior DevTech Engineer Alexey Bekin described Neural Texture Compression as a machine learning approach for storing textures more efficiently .
Panther Lake high-end laptops are seeing significant price hikes in the Chinese market, making them less affordable than the Apple MacBook M5 series.
The DRAM and SSD shortages have affected a wide range of PC hardware, including pre-built systems, GPUs, and laptops. Even unrelated PC hardware is getting more expensive, including CPUs, and if you have read our recent report on Intel, you can expect a noticeable price increase in Intel CPUs in the following months. Looks like the effect of higher CPU, RAM
NVIDIA's gaming GPUs have been hit by the 'Rowhammer' vulnerability, a security flaw that has existed for more than a decade and is troublesome for the average consumer.
Vulnerabilities in hardware components aren't uncommon, and intruders have long meddled with your CPUs to compromise systems . However, in the case of GPUs, the vulnerabilities haven't been as common; according to a , there appears to be a flaw that directly targets GDDR memory. The attacks are labeled 'Rowhammer,' and the latest report
ARM's ecosystem is both expansive and pervasive these days, with Samsung's latest cutting-edge Exynos 2600 chips also leveraging ARMv9.3 CPU cores. Even so, Samsung is apparently taking its first tentative steps towards the open-source RISC-V architecture via a custom SSD controller chip.
According to South Korea-based ETNews, Samsung's upcoming SSD lineup, called the BM9K1 and designed entirely in-house, will leverage a controller chip that is .

ARM's latest AGI CPU was unveiled a few days ago, and CEO Rene Haas claimed the platform is ready to bite into x86's market share, but Intel isn't optimistic about the processor's success with agentic AI.
The race for server CPUs has become much more competitive in recent years, as agentic AI workloads have driven a massive rise in the importance of general computing, particularly within the infrastructure industry. This has opened up prospects for manufacturers like AMD/Intel, who were trying
A wild RMA case just surfaced on Reddit, revealing how ASUS is avoiding product replacement and is returning it without proper repairs.
The number of complaints regarding ASUS RMAs has become so large that it raises concerns about the company’s commitment to after-sales service. From denying RMAs due to cosmetic damages that don't affect the functionality to delivering its flagship OLED monitor in a lackluster packaging , everything looks like a mess. Now another case has surfaced on Reddit, which is more bizarre than any other story we have
The absence of native AAA games on the Android platform isn’t a weakness for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 , as Qualcomm has equipped it with sufficient processing juice where it can effortlessly run those visually attractive titles at higher framerates. Unfortunately, in pursuit of making the SoC capable enough in this regard, the San Diego firm has lost sight of power efficiency, which is why the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 reaches nearly 50W in certain titles, making it a severe flaw that needs immediate rectification when the Snapdragon
