In case it somehow isn’t obvious by now, Qualcomm is really excited for 5G, and it seems to be of the same mind as mobile enthusiasts all over: the deployment can’t get here soon enough. Where 4G was a massive upgrade over 3G, 5G is likewise a massive upgrade over 4G, and…..

Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition may not be out until next week, but NVIDIA’s wasting no time in delivering a Game Ready driver that will ensure optimal performance at launch. This driver, GeForce 391.01, also enhances performance in PUBG, Vermintide 2, and World of Tanks, so if you play any one of…..

Not everyone needs a high-end mobile device, and for that reason, it’s a great thing that the market is chock-full of affordable models. In ZTE’s own lineup, phones generally range from around $50 and peaks at around $400. The phone in our sights for this post is the Tempo Go, a phone…..

If you’ve been glued to the rumor mill surrounding Samsung’s Galaxy S9, you’re not going to be in for too many surprises now that the official launch has taken place. That’s not a bad thing, though, because the S9 improves upon everything that made the S8 such a well-received phone (it helped…..

In advance of next week’s Mobile World Congress, Arm has announced how it’s going to get cellular connections into a trillion devices (eventually!). With the word “trillion” being thrown around, you can already tell that we’re talking IoT (internet of things) devices, which, inevitably, will be everywhere. Arm wants us to have…..

Jumping into the cryptocurrency world can feel overwhelming; there’s a lot to learn, and unfortunately, some lessons come late. Sometimes, it can be due to not knowing what you’re doing, but other times, weak security is to blame. We’re going to explore an example of the latter here, with the help of our formally favorite crypto wallet.

Cables might be a necessity at times, but they’re not all the time. Even in spots where you think you’d absolutely need a cable (eSports!), you may just need a better tool. Enter Corsair’s ‘Unplug and Play’, with the wireless K63 keyboard and Dark Core mouse – both offering 1ms latencies. For good measure, we’ll also take a look at the MM1000 mousepad.

When Microsoft launched Windows 10, it introduced a new app framework called Universal Windows Platform, or UWP for short. With it, the company could ease cross-platform development. Even if you don’t use the Windows Store, you still likely use a UWP app from time to time. The simple calculator in Windows 10,…..

Following the launch of AMD’s Ryzen processors w/ Radeon Vega last week, some customers have apparently found themselves in a bad spot after building their brand-new rig. It turns out that many AM4 motherboards won’t support these new chips out-of-the-box (not entirely surprising, but a little annoying nonetheless), which means if you…..

Earlier this week, Qualcomm issued a press release to say that it was going to be meeting with top brass at Broadcom to discuss acquisition talks further, and today, the company has issued its full response after considering all that was said. Up to this point, Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) has been adamant…..

One month short of the first birthday of Corsair’s ONE, the company has updated the lineup of PCs with two new models: ONE ELITE, and ONE PRO PLUS. Coffee Lake’s the name of the game here, and it’s no surprise given the previous inclusion of the i7-7700K that the latest CPU to…..

We’re only half-way through February, and it’s already evident that 2018 is going to be an extremely busy year for Qualcomm. On one hand, the company’s vying to create the market’s most robust SoCs and fastest modems, and on the other, it’s slapping away a seriously aggressive suitor in the form of…..

Blender 2.8 is en route, due for possible release later this year, and its developers couldn’t be more amped-up to make sure it’s the best version ever. Well, that’s putting it simply, because it’s obvious that the latest version should be best. But this is different. Blender would like to gather its…..

We reported last week that NVIDIA’s next-generation GeForce is rumored to be called ‘Ampere’, and… it now appears that might not be the case at all. At least, it’s not after NVIDIA allegedly changed the name to ‘Turing’, as subtly reported by Reuters. The publication writes: “The new GPU gaming chip, code-named…..

With its just-announced Project Trillium, Arm wants to give the world useful artificial intelligence capabilities inside myriad of edge devices. Clearly, everyone and their dog wants a piece of the AI pie, but Arm is in an enviable place to deliver its solutions – its technology is already the de facto choice…..

Qualcomm’s next flagship Snapdragon (845) is almost here, so to get people excited about it, the company has released an onslaught of performance information. That said, with mobile chips, it’s not just performance that matters, but the overall feature set. Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) aims to deliver the best of all worlds with…..

When you need ultra-fast storage on-the-go, it’s pretty hard to go wrong with a drive like Samsung’s T5. It’s not the least-expensive offering out there, but it has a lot of good going for it. It’s small, looks good, has a shock-resistant design, and best of all, sports internal SSD-like speeds over USB 3.1 gen2.

It’s not often that one of the most beloved software projects on the planet gets a major update, but this weekend, VideoLAN’s VLC was treated to the release of 3.0. At quick glance, 3.0 might not look much different from 2.X, but with video content, it’s what’s under-the-hood that matters. At the…..

As with the pending release of any new flagship smartphone, there’s been a ton of speculation about Samsung’s Galaxy S9. Of course, there have been many leaks on the new flagship already, but the past week has been particularly revealing. A couple of days ago, the king of mobile leaking, Evan Blass,…..

Microsoft releases enough Insider Previews to make someone’s head spin, so it’s not often that a new build offers such an impressive set of updates that I feel inspired to write about it. Build 17093 is worth noting for a handful of reasons, and all of them will affect you directly when…..
