The RTX 3060 launch is almost upon us, but we won't have to wait until tomorrow to see benchmarks. Videocardz.com today posted early numbers of how the 3060 runs in synthetic benchmarks like 3DMark and Unigine Superposition. The site attributes these tests to anonymous sources, and although synthetic benchmarks and pre-launch tests can be inaccurate, the results are quite underwhelming.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3060 will be the company's

Joining silicon shortages and limited factory capacity in delaying Taiwanese chip production, more mundane resource shortages such as a lack of water in Taiwan are also threatening to slow chipmakers' pace, although the companies have a plan to compensate for the island's recent drought.

DigiTimes today reported that TSMC, UMC, and other chipmakers in Taiwan plan to purchase water by the truckload to minimize a regional water shortage’s effect on their already strained production capabilities. The chipmakers' reportedly plan to purchase a

The Gigabyte camp has added a new rendition of the GeForce RTX 3060 to its arsenal. Barring any subsequent models, the Aorus GeForce RTX 3060 Elite 12G (GV-N3060AORUS E-12GD) appears to carry the flagship tag of Gigabyte's custom GeForce RTX 3060 models, and is also looking to be the fastest GeForce RTX 30

Can the Raspberry Pi Pico get any smaller? Pimoroni’s Tiny 2040 is a mere third of the size of a Raspberry Pi

It looks like CD Projekt Red's string of bad luck is continuing. Today, the developer announced that while it had originally planned to release Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 this February, the recent cyber attack against the company has delayed the update until March. Patch 1.2 would have focused primarily on fixing the game's many performance issues.

The cyber attack in question hit the company two weeks ago, and saw an unnamed individual/s

Since the Raspberry Pi Pico first released, we've seen a few dev boards created just for the new official microcontroller. This one is called Kiwikit and it's totally open-source for anyone to use or modify.

It was created and designed by a maker named Hammond Pearce. According to Pearce, he wanted to create something fun to use like the DIY electronics kits he used to play with growing up.

The board was designed with KiCAD and includes a few programmable LEDs

Sony was among the first companies to launch a virtual reality head mounted display (HMD) in 2016. While the unit was optimized for successful game consoles, it has gained limited popularity to a large degree because Sony's PlayStation 4 was not powerful enough to enable the same VR experience as high-end PCs. Sony's PlayStation 5 is by far more powerful, which is why Sony is working on a brand-new VR headset designed specifically with PS5 in

There has been a good number of Alder Lake benchmarks that have popped up on the radar. Yesterday's Geekbench 5 submission (via Benchleaks ), however, gives us a first peek into the hybrid processor's big cores.

Alder Lake-S will go down in Intel's history as the first hybrid x86 desktop processor, and from how it looks so far, it may be one of the most confusing processor launches. Alder Lake-S brings together a mixture

Courtesy of database detective @Leakbench on Twitter , we now have our first decent look at how Intel's next-gen Core i9-11900K Rocket Lake CPU will perform in our CPU Benchmark hierarchy. This test is the first clear result from Geekbench 4 for the 11900K, which is nice to see as it can be a more accurate gauge of raw CPU performance than the other benchmark results we've seen, like Passmark or
