ASUS has officially released the ROG XG Mobile (2025), the company’s first external GPU to use a Thunderbolt 5 interface instead of its older proprietary connector. The new model brings wider compatibility across laptops and mini PCs while keeping the compact form factor that made the XG Mobile series stand out (also because of the price).
Intel has updated its game bundle promotion
Following the end of the Game Days offer in late October, Intel has introduced a new promotion. “Introduced” might be a bit of an overstatement, though, since Intel hasn’t officially announced anything. We actually found this while browsing Newegg, where new game bundles were listed for certain laptops. The previous promo only included Battlefield 6, and now there’s even an option for the Battlefield 6 Phantom Edition

ORICO has officially launched the OmniPro, its first AI-powered desktop PC that borrows heavily from Apple’s Mac Pro aesthetic but comes in a much smaller chassis. At just 139 × 61 × 185 mm, the system is less than one-fifth the size of a Mac Pro, yet it adopts a similar aluminum tower

Intel Battlemage hasn’t made many headlines this year, as there have been only two major updates for gamers and workstation/AI systems. The Arc B580 and B570 based on BMG-G21 GPU , launched last year, were initially difficult to find at MSRP, but that goal was eventually met. There are now nearly 30 custom models available based on these
Intel is dead silent on its desktop GPUs, but something is happening at least.

One consumer and three professional variants of Arc graphics cards are listed with the largest Battlemage processor. The highly anticipated BMG-G31, a long-rumored GPU often mentioned in leaks and even acknowledged by Intel engineers in open-source drivers, has never been publicly shown or confirmed in any presentation or slide. Enthusiasts who appreciated the strong performance
AMD’s communication around its latest driver updates continues to cause confusion.
After several clarifications, AMD has now walked back its original statement and confirmed that the so-called “maintenance mode” does not mean RDNA1 and RDNA2 architectures will stop receiving game optimizations.
As usual, AMD’s message sent to Tom’s Hardware feels incomplete and lacks detail. It only mentions that optimizations will continue “based on market needs.” This does not fully reverse the earlier statement, it simply
With all the repetitive AI announcements lately, the best use of this technology might have already been shown months ago. Back in January, NVIDIA introduced its updated ACE framework, which enables real-time dialogue with game characters. That idea always seemed like a genuine step forward for games, especially open-world titles where players need to do more than complete quests, but also convince characters to share information or cooperate.

AMD has clarified that it made a mistake by listing the Radeon RX 7900 USB-C change in its driver changelog. The note stated that starting with the new driver, AMD would no longer allow this connector to transmit power and recommended reverting to the March driver for users who needed it. The information was straightforward, but no explanation was provided for why such a change was introduced.
It turns out there
Sixth generation also comes with Intel CPUs.
Over at Geekbench, we can find the first tests of Intel’s new Panther Lake processor in an AI benchmark. The Core Ultra 300 series will feature an even faster NPU for local processing, which is one of the key upgrades alongside the new CPU and GPU cores.
Apparently, the Galaxy Book 6 Pro will come with a Panther Lake chip called the Core Ultra 5 338H. It’s
MINISFORUM has issued a notice confirming a price adjustment effective November 4, 2025. The company cites higher global raw material costs as the reason for the change, which will apply to most products except barebone models or systems without DDR5 memory or SSD storage. While the increase is described as “slight,” no specific percentages or affected models have been detailed.
The timing of this move is interesting, as MINISFORUM is expected to launch several new
