Slides reveal Intel's entire 10th-gen series: Up to 5.3 GHz and 10 cores

The flagship i9-10900K is also getting two extra cores and a new boost mode that can push speeds up to 5.3 GHz.

Two Intel presentation slides detailing all their major processors have been leaked and published by Informatica Cero and confirmed by VideoCardz

Zen 3 is rumored to be flaunting monumental IPC gains in early testing

Something to look forward to: AMD declared war on Intel with the launch of Ryzen, forcing both companies to rapidly bring their respective strengths of core count and frequency as close to their immediate limits as possible. With Intel seemingly unable to squeeze past 5 GHz without developing a new node, and AMD waiting for software to catch up before adding more cores, the present battleground is in IPC (instructions per clock). And Zen 3 is reported to be doing admirably thus far, with improvements approaching 20%.

FAA drone rule seeks to mandate a remote identification system on every drone

Bottom line: Drone makers and enthusiasts will soon have to comply with new rules proposed by the FAA that will require every device to broadcast a radio signal that can be tracked in near real-time by law enforcement.

If you haven't heard about the Ryzen 5 3500X until now it's likely because this CPU is mostly being sold and marketed to OEMs and system integrators. Initially it was reported as an OEM-only part for China, but it turns out you can pretty much buy it anywhere, though the...

AT&T brings its 5G network to six more cities, including NYC, Washington DC, and Las Vegas

Bottom line: Like its competitors, AT&T is rushing to expand its new 5G network as much as possible before the end of 2019. So far, the company has performed reasonably well (by modern network provider standards, that is). Earlier this month, they brought the technology to ten US cities, and now, that number has grown even further.

Fallout 76 cheater used a hack to rob players of hundreds of items

WTF?! Bethesda's multiplayer experiment Fallout 76 has suffered numerous blunders since its release. Rather than cutting its losses and calling it a failure, the company has continued trying to make it work. Most of the gaffes originated directly from the developer, but the latest snafu is the fault of one lousy cheater.

Over the weekend, a Fallout 76 player stole hundreds of items from others in the game. A video shows him apparently using a hack recently released on the Unknown Cheats website (below).
