Thin gaming laptops are something

Among many other announcements ( full breakdown here ), Intel announced at its Architecture Day 2020 that the company would release its Alder Lake-S processors for the desktop PC in 2021. This marks the first time that Intel has brought its x86 hybrid architecture, which merges the use of both larger and smaller cores, to the mainstream desktop platform. Intel also unveiled the broad strokes of its Client 2.0 design initiative that will leverage more mix-and-match architectures in the

The reveal of the Intel Xe HPG during Intel's Architecture Day 2020 was part of the virtual firehose of information on a ton of upcoming products and technologies. We've covered Tiger Lake and Xe LP Graphics elsewhere, and we have new details on Xe HP / HPC and the newly christened 10nm SuperFin process . But one of the products we're most interested in seeing and testing isn't coming until 2021. We've speculated

Laptops powered by Intel's next-generation Tiger Lake processors are coming soon, with much-improved graphics performance. Tiger Lake's integrated GPUs will use Intel's long-awaited Xe LP Graphics, the low power variant of Team Blue's latest graphics architecture — Gen12 if you're counting. It's been a couple of years in the making, and Intel's aspirations to enter (or re-enter) the discrete graphics card market all

The Intel Xe HP and Xe HPC are the pinnacle of the company's data center GPU ambitions. At Intel Architecture Day 2020 , the company has given us a clear indication of what to expect, and the short answer is that Xe HP delivers up a metric buttload of compute. This is the spiritual successor of Intel's Larrabee initiative, and also succeeds the Xeon Phi product line, with a target set firmly on Nvidia's A100 solution.

When you work hard on a Raspberry Pi project, you’ll want to make a complete disk backup of the entire OS and software, not just your code. Even the best Raspberry Pi microSD cards can fail or get lost and you may also want to re-use the project on another card or share it with others. For example, at Tom’s Hardware, we have a Raspberry Pi web server we use for battery tests and we have multiple Pis that

Razer offers some fancy mice, if you’re willing to pay more for them. Take the Razer Mamba Elite, a wired mouse with Omron mechanical switches and a 16,000 CPI. The Mamba Elite kicks it up a notch with extra RGB lighting on the its sides. That would normally cost you $89.99, but the Mamba Elite is currently on sale for $59.99 , down from $90.

If you're contemplating building a liquid-cooled PC with a full custom loop, you'll have to decide at some point whether to buy a graphics card with a waterblock pre-installed, or opt for a normal card and install the waterblock yourself.

There are pros and cons to taking each route. For example, a GPU with a pre-installed waterblock is guaranteed to keep its warranty. But there's more satisfaction in doing it yourself, and
