Finally an answer to AMD X3D.
We return to perhaps the most interesting leak when it comes to next-gen desktop series. Although Intel is now preparing to introduce a refresh of Arrow Lake (part of the Core Ultra 200 series), we are already focused on its successor. While we may not be certain about the name, it is safe to assume that this product, arriving nearly a
Is this the future of gaming, or something that can easily spoil the fun?
Generative AI entering games feels overdue, at least for NPCs. Open world titles already ship with hundreds of scripted side quests, yet most NPCs still repeat the same lines and follow fixed combat patterns. Ubisoft’s new Teammates research project explores what happens when a small model handles more of that behavior on the fly, with players steering their squad through voice rather than menu wheels or canned command
Samsung has quietly started sampling faster versions of its 24 Gb GDDR7 memory. The company already lists a 28.0 Gbps 24 Gb part in mass production, and now adds 32.0 Gbps and 36.0 Gbps speed bins in the same 266 FBGA package, both marked as samples. Each chip provides 3 GB of capacity, giving GPU vendors a denser option than the 1
A new RTX 6000D workstation card has appeared in Geekbench, pointing to a special Blackwell-based SKU that mirrors NVIDIA’s gaming “D” models such as RTX 4090D and RTX 5090D, but for the professional segment. The letter D again suggests a variant aimed at the Chinese market, this time in the RTX PRO 6000
I will admit I never really used WordPad, except when I forgot to install Word first, and Notepad was never my tool for writing. I mostly used it to store plain text before I learned a keyboard shortcut (Shift+Ctrl+V, by the way) to paste as plain text. That said, the recent updates have left me a bit baffled.
Microsoft is now rolling out a new Notepad build to Windows 11 Insiders in the Canary and Dev channels. The update adds
OCCT has published a new technical article that details its latest GPU testing methodology and the changes introduced with version 15. The team also showed a heavy open bench loaded with NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs, used as a lab platform to refine these tests and push power delivery, thermals, and stability to the limit.
The key point from OCCT’s blog (and video) is that GPUs behave differently from CPUs and RAM under load. In games
Open source tool for memory testing.
Memtest86+, the free open source memory tester, has been updated to version 8.00, with the new release dated 24 November 2025. The update introduces a single binary image that works on both UEFI and legacy BIOS systems. The project also adds CLang/LLD support on the build side to modernize the toolchain.
The 8.00 changelog lists new support for the latest Intel and
A new user report shows the most severe 12V-2×6 connector failure we have seen so far on an RTX 5090. Previous cases were usually limited to burn marks on the plug or early warning signs such as black screens under load. In this case the power connector is completely melted , suggesting prolonged overload or poor power delivery rather than a brief contact issue.
Panther Lake is finally showing its claws.
The Core Ultra 9 386H, the 16-core Panther Lake-H processor with 4 P-cores, 8 E-cores and 4 LP-cores (E and LP shown as 12 cores), has been spotted on Geekbench. This CPU is one of the flagship SKUs that will launch next year for laptops. The important bit is in the name. The
Here’s to one of our exclusive leaks finding confirmation. Intel has not only listed the S Refresh series on its website, albeit without SKU names, but the company has also confirmed 7200 MT/s memory support , as we revealed two weeks ago.
Intel has confirmed that S Refresh will support CUDIMM memory up to 7200 MT/s. The current series supports 6400 MT/s speed out of the box, but of course that’
