Intel's 11th Generation Rocket Lake-S processors are backward compatible with 400-series motherboards. If you prefer a new Z590 motherboard instead, Newegg has put up a couple for purchase.

Motherboard manufacturers got the chance to reveal their new Z590 motherboards not so long ago. At the current count, we've seen up to 45 different offerings of all form factors from the most prominent vendors with more models on the way.

Before the Raspberry Pi Pico arrived, there was a sharp distinction between the Raspberry Pi and Arduino ecosystems. The Pi is a Linux computer that boots up into a full operating system and the Arduino is  a microcontroller that just runs one program at a time. With the arrival of the Raspberry Pi Pico, which is itself a microcontroller, and the new RP2040 SoC, the distinction has blurred. Raspberry Pi Foundation now makes its own silicon, and is enabling

The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC), an industry consortium that develops performance benchmarks for servers and data centers and includes names like AMD, Intel, and IBM, has accused Nvidia of violating the TPC’s Fair Use Policy. To compare the performance of its GPUs against other machines, Nvidia presented results from workloads derived from official TPC benchmark workloads and compared them to official TPC results, a violation of the group's fair use policy.

In yet another sign that Intel's efforts to rebuild its engineering corps might be swift under the new incoming CEO, Intel announced today that Sunil Shenoy, a 33-year Intel veteran who left the company in 2014, will be returning to the company as the senior vice president and general manager of the Design Engineering Group.

News that Pat Gelsinger, Intel's incoming CEO, would return to the company has sparked optimism among the rank and file as the company

Laptops with Nvidia's RTX 3060, RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 GPUs have landed, but in many  ways, it's more complicated to know exactly what you're getting.

On the one hand, Nvidia has published plenty of information about the mobile cards, including the fact that clock speeds vary, as does total graphics power. But on the other, it's being a bit more reserved with the Max-Q moniker

A mysterious system packing a Core i9-10910 Comet Lake CPU and a (currently unheard of) AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT with 65GB of RAM has been spotted on an Ashes of the Singularity benchmark score . All data indicates this system could possibly be a prototype for the next generation iMac from Apple.

We've already covered the Core i9-10910 several months ago; this processor is rumored to be exclusively

Since Nvidia's Ampere architecture turns out to be rather power hungry, it takes  graphics card vendors a lot of time and effort to build smaller GeForce RTX 30-series boards for Mini-ITX systems. MSI this week became the world's first manufacturer to build a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti-based card for small form-factor systems.

MSI's GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Aero graphics board is powered by Nvidia's GA104

There's a lot of cool hardware on the cryptocurrency mining scene, and one of the latest toys seems to be this Chinese 3600W power supply (via Cybercat 2077 ) that has surfaced at Daraz , an online marketplace that has the unit available as a flash deal.

Fundamentally, the LX-3600W is a fusion of two power supplies that couldn't have been possible with some engineering magic

Popular hardware monitoring tool HWInfo64 has just received a new update, version 6.42 that adds support for "GDDR6X Memory Junction Temperature." This feature will allow you to check your VRAM temperature if you have a GDDR6X equipped Ampere card like the RTX 3080 or RTX 3090. This could be particularly useful if you own a Founders Edition model, as several months ago we reported on a discovery from Igor'
