While we still don’t have an Intel Rocket Lake-S Core i9-11900K CPU to use for testing, we’re starting to get Intel Z590 boards in. So while we await benchmark results, we’ll be walking in detail through
With Rocket Lake's release date approaching, testers are getting their hands on more and more SKUs from Intel's future Rocket Lake lineup; this time, we have benchmark results of Intel's future Core i5-11600K ( thanks to @Leakbench ). The 11600K was found running the Geekbench 5 benchmark with mediocre performance at best, though, as usual, pricing will determine if it lands on our list of Best CPUs
Yesterday, excellent news from Nvidia landed -- namely that it is putting the brakes on hashing performance of the RTX 3060. Whether this tech will also come to other GPUs in the lineup is currently unclear. To make it up to miners, Nvidia is coming out with a special line of CMP 'Cryptocurrency Mining Processor' GPUs. But could RTX 3060 miners simply bypass the artificial limiter? In a Twitter conversation between Ryan Smith from AnandTech and Nvidia's
Stylish design and small footprints make the T95 and T65 ideal as alternatives to stock Intel or AMD coolers, if you can look past their premium price tag as direct stock cooler replacements. Both fit sockets supporting high-core-count CPUs, but make no mistake: These coolers will be their happiest on low-wattage builds, but only testing will tell if they deserve a spot on our best CPU cooler page.
The Gigabyte P550B is affordable but you get what you paid for. This PSU has low performance and noisy operation.
We recently reported about Expanscape, a startup developing battlestation laptops featuring up to seven displays and offering their prototypes to interested parties at undisclosed prices.

The European Union has been a semiconductor production power, but the recent tensions between the U.S. and China, as well as the Trump administration's tepid attitude towards European allies, has caused EU authorities to rethink a number of the union's policies. Among other things, the European Union is reconsidering its reliance on chips developed and manufactured overseas. So far, the EU has kicked off its supercomputer initiative, CPU initiative, and is now reportedly proposing leading foundries to build
As spotted by HotHardware , Anthony, a hardware enthusiast from the Mod Labs forums, has recreated 3dfx Interactive's renowned Voodoo 5 6000. The company never released the Voodoo 5 6000 to the public, but the skillful enthusiast managed to revive the fallen graphics card through some exquisite reverse engineering work.
You might not have even heard of 3dfx, and we don't blame you because it has been
Nvidia announced today that it has taken necessary actions to gimp the GeForce RTX 3060's mining performance in an effort to stop cryptocurrency miners from getting their hands on the graphics card. YouTuber CryptoLeo has put the GeForce RTX 3060 through its paces and found Nvidia's measures to be extremely effective.
