In advance of the official opening of Computex 2017, ARM has unveiled its latest chip designs which will help fuel a countless number of our devices in the near-future. Those include the Cortex-A75 and A55 CPUs, as well as the Mali-G72 GPU. Performance improvements are nice, but the most notable aspect of…..

Here’s an amazing example of why net neutrality is so important. It should be clear as day by now that the only entities to benefit from the barring of net neutrality rules are the companies that sell us access to the Internet and the politicians who are paid off to support them.…..

Far Cry 5 has just been announced, and based on our initial look, we’re sure it’s going to be quite an interesting installment in the series. It’ll be action-packed, and perhaps more than that, downright disturbing. If you’ve ever craved a game scenario that sees you embark on an adventure in a…..

After a couple of months’ worth of anticipation, Bungie today revealed our first look at gameplay in Destiny 2. If you didn’t catch the stream but are very curious about the company’s upcoming adventure, we’d highly recommend you watch the replay. Otherwise, you may feel content after watching the official trailer: Let’s…..

The hype leading up to the launch of AMD’s Radeon RX Vega is hard to ignore. In fact, it’s the kind of hype that every company dreams of. Given that, a release of an RX 500 series that doesn’t contain Vega could come as a surprise, or even a rude awakening. But, if you’ve been in the market for a new GPU that won’t break the bank, both the RX 570 and RX 580 are well worth checking out.

VR gaming is a lot of fun, but for reasons that fall outside the scope of this post, finding a deep, rich experience (aka: games that won’t be blown through in a couple of hours) are rare. But now, it appears, one of the best possible “killer apps” for VR gaming could…..

With Computex right around the corner (May 30 – June 3), leaks of what could be announced during the show are hitting the web hard. That includes a Ryzen update that caters to the most hardcore enthusiasts – those able to take advantage of more cores than the 8-core Ryzen 7 SKUs…..

If you’ve been looking for a good reason to not root your Android device, Netflix has kindly given you one. Out of nowhere, users of rooted Android devices discovered over the weekend that Netflix simply wouldn’t work, and no simple reinstall would be able to fix it. In fact, Netflix has hid…..

During the 2017 North American iteration of its GPU Technology Conference, NVIDIA held its first-ever Inception awards to reward six promising start-ups that utilize deep learning and artificial intelligence in their products and technologies. Culled from a list of hundreds of start-ups, these fortunate six inspire with their passion and ambition, and highlight…..

Over the course of the last five years, deep learning has gone from being a relatively unknown technology to becoming one that’s a very important part of the future of computing. IDC’s research predicts that by 2020, a staggering 80% of applications built will implement deep learning in some way, highlighting the fact…..

My brother and I love playing games together, but we tend to lean towards cooperative play over competitive. Unfortunately, the co-op market is one that’s not as full as it could be, unless you’re counting games that can involve co-op, but are ultimately online games with other players. Borderlands is what I…..

As we established across our look at both Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5, we found that AMD’s latest crop of CPUs are absolute powerhouses in many scenarios, with gaming being the most notable area where the weaker IPC and single-threaded performance has fallen short. I hate to use the term “fallen short”, though,…..

If you thought that the gaming mouse market wasn’t saturated enough, great news: Corsair has unveiled yet another new model. The GLAIVE has a couple of tricks up its sleeves that helps separate itself from most other mice out there, such as interchangeable thumbrests to better suit the game you’re playing (or…..

Earlier this week, we wrote about an impressive new monitor offering from Acer, a 4K beaut that packs in more than we’d expect (even Tobii eye-tracking!). While we don’t know what the Predator X27 is going to cost once it hits etail, our guesstimates put it at over $1,500. For most, that’s…..

Netflix may make some frustrating changes from time to time, but overall, the price for its offering keeps people coming back, and encourages Netflix newbies to take the plunge. But just how popular is Netflix overall? According to Exstreamist (a clever site name, I must admit), it’s at least four times as…..

Microsoft has today unveiled its third consumer version of Windows 10, and it’s probably not quite what you’re expecting. Called Windows 10 S, this version of Microsoft’s latest (and greatest?) OS caters to the same crowd that mulls Chrome OS as a potential choice. It’s whittled-down in comparison to the full-blown Windows…..

A few months in advance of the release of AMD’s Ryzen processors, Noctua told its customers that if they wanted a free AM4 mounting kit for their existing Noctua cooler, they were free to request one. Now, the company is doing the same thing for Intel’s upcoming X299 platform, codenamed Basin Falls,…..

When I took my first look at Corsair’s Crystal 570X at its release last fall, I fell in love almost immediately. Overall, the chassis design is simple to grasp and work with, but once in action, it’ll help make a build look downright gorgeous. I knew I had to have one as a…..

Following up on its announcement from last month, Intel has this week let its Optane memory loose on the market. At this point in time, two different Optane products exist, with one being targeted at the enterprise, and the other, the consumer. As discussed in the earlier posts, Intel’s Optane sets out…..

Almost exactly a year ago, AMD released a graphics card that required more explaining than most, because it just wasn’t clear to everyone from the get-go who it was designed for. Part of that confusion owes its thanks to the fact that the card sported the Radeon name, and not to mention…..
