Intel on Tuesday announced a flaw in its graphics driver affecting GPU generations 3 to 10. When Phoronix benchmarked the patched driver, devices using Gen7 graphics saw a significant iGPU performance drop. But Intel said that the final version of the patch should eliminate most of that performance loss, the publication reported today.
The flaw ( CVE-2019-14615 ) can create an information leak on computer systems using Intel’s integrated
AMD has allegedly pushed out a new vBIOS to all its graphics cards partners to raise the performance on the its looming Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card, Chinese news outlet HKEPC reported today. The move would likely be a response to Nvidia slashing the RTX 2060's price from $349 down to $299.

A report from research firm DRAMeXchange this week said that the arrival of the next Xbox and PlayStation consoles will lead to a "surge" in demand for SSDs and graphics DRAM , namely GDDR6, in the second half of 2020.

AOC is lauching two new gaming monitors : the Q27G2U and its curved twin, as spotted by Hardware.info .
These are 27-inch VA panels with 2560 x 1440 resolution and a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz. Using AMD FreeSync , the refresh rate's range will go down to 48 Hz. Peak brightness is noted to be 250 nits, and there is no HDR support.
As identified by eagle-eye hardware investigator @_rogame , two unreleased Comet Lake-S (CML-S) processors have appeared in the 3DMark database. The fresh discovery gives us a sneak peek at the processors' potential specifications, but be aware, these could be engineering samples, so the specifications could be subject to change.
The Core i9-10900 comes swinging with 10 cores and 20 threads. The chip seemingly features a 2.
If you're into competitive gaming but don't have a huge budget to blow on a very powerful graphics card and a high-resolution display with a fast refresh-rate, the latest price drop for AOC's 1080p C27G1 144Hz gaming monitor is worth considering. It's down to just $190 on Amazon , likely in wake of the arrival of the 1440p models announced this week
