Several Tiger Lake Y (TGL-Y) and Tiger Lake U (TGL-U) entries have started to appeared in the Geekbench 4 and SiSoftware databases. Tiger Lake is slated to debut next year to succeed Ice Lake (ICL).
Starting with the Geekbench 4 submission, the Tiger Lake Y sample checked in with a quad- core , eight- thread configuration and a 1.19 GHz base clock . This chip appears to be identical to the one that was spotted back
Half-Life fans will have to hold out a little longer. Valve today announced that its flagship virtual reality (VR) title , Half-Life : Alyx , is now available for pre-order with a planned release in March 2020. That probably isn’t as early as some hoped--especially since the last Half-Life game was released in 2007--but at least it shows that the company isn’t done with the beloved
Buying hardware for a PC builder can be tough, unless you know exactly what platform they have and what parts they're after. No builder is likely to balk at an expensive gift like a new Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti or Threadripper 2950X. But even then, if they don't have the case, power supply, or motherboard to handle those extravagant components, they're going to have to spend hundreds more on other compatible hardware.
So
We're getting ready for the best Black Friday tech deals , but we've already found a well-priced gaming monitor available today. If you're fast, you can score an LG 24GL600F, a 24-inch FHD monitor with AMD FreeSync , for just $129.99. The deal expires later today.
For the enthusiasts among us who have some breathing room in their budgets, Core i7-9700K is a much smarter choice for gaming than the pricey Core i9-9900K. It serves up similar performance at a significantly lower price. It's no slouch in heavier applications either, thanks to eight physical cores.
The Core i5-9400F represents the most iterative updates possible, yet it clings to the mid-range gaming crown. But the -9400F’s lack of Hyper-Threading and a locked multiplier allows the Ryzen 5 2600X to rise up as a more attractive option when we look at all-around utility in this price range.
The Core i5-9600K is an iterative update over the previous-gen model. But if you're shopping for a new processor, it does provide enough of a performance improvement to merit attention. The processor clearly provides the best performance for gaming at its price point, though AMD alternatives are enticing if you're more interested in productivity applications.
The Ryzen 9 3900X redefines our expectations for the mainstream desktop with 12 cores and 24 threads for roughly the same price as Intel’s eight-core Core i9-9900K. The extra cores deliver big gains in heavily threaded applications, and the improved architecture offers great gaming performance, too, making for an incredibly well-rounded processor. Support for the PCIe 4.0 interface is the cherry on top.
The Ryzen 5 3600 is an excellent 65W chip for small form factor enthusiasts, packing quite the punch in a small thermal envelope. After simple one-click overclocking, it offers nearly the same performance as its more expensive counterpart, but at a $50 discount. That makes the Ryzen 5 3600 the uncontested value champ in its price range.
We’ve just spotted this Asus ZenBook S (UX391UA-XB81-R) 13.3-inch laptop deal online and it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. Coming in at $788, you’ll save on average $150 off its regular price, and $411 off its launch price. That’s a fairly comfortable 16% off at a minimum, and it’s
