Qualcomm To Help Bring 5G Capabilities To 2 Billion People In 2020
We’ve all heard 5G praises sung from the rooftops, but as we inch closer towards the end of the year, it may feel like the market hasn’t progressed too much. 5G rollouts have occurred in various cities around the world, but it remains largely inaccessible to the masses. For those lucky enough…..
Logitech Launches MX Master 3 Wireless Mouse & MX Keys Wireless Keyboard
Logitech’s MX series of products have become well-regarded over the years, though the offerings are generally quite a bit different from all of the gaming products that come through our office.

Western Digital Announces 18TB And 20TB Ultrastar DC Hard Drives
Two new enterprise storage hard drives were announced by Western Digital, launched under the Ultrastar range.

Intel’s Core i9-9900KS To Launch Next Month, Along With New Core X-Series
It’s beginning to feel like hardware vendors are bucking the trend of when and where products are going to be launched. To our recollection, Berlin’s annual IFA event doesn’t typically result in many computer hardware launches, but this year has proven different. Earlier, we reported that NVIDIA announced a Quadro RTX 6000 high-end…..
Intel Contradicts Itself Over Claiming Cinema 4D Is Not An Important Workload (Updated)

NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000 Laptops: ACE Reference Design
Back in May, around Computex time, NVIDIA unveiled its latest range of RTX Studio laptops for creative professionals.

The…..
University of Texas at Austin Unveils World’s Fastest Academic Supercomputer: Frontera
Texas likes to do things big, and its latest supercomputer reiterates that.

The primary is built by Dell EMC, and uses Intel Xeon CPUs, while the second is built by…..
AMD To Fix Ryzen Boost Clock Bug In Upcoming EFI
Overall, AMD’s launch of its third-gen Ryzen processors was successful. It’s impossible to look at the performance results and think otherwise. Yet, it feels like there’s no such thing as a “perfect” launch, because once the products began to find themselves in consumer hands, issues of boost clocks not hitting rated speeds…..
Benchmarks That Matter: Synthetic vs. Real-World
Since the launch of AMD’s third-gen Ryzen CPUs in July, there’s been a lot of chatter around the web with regards to which benchmarks matter, and which can be safely ignored. We’re rather passionate about benchmarking, so we decided to chime in and give our thoughts. AMD’s launch was massive for a…..
Intel Adds Integer Scaling Support To Its GPU Driver, Supporting Only Gen11 Graphics
Back in July, Intel made the announcement that it would be bringing integer scaling to its graphics driver, and late last week, the first supporting driver was released.

NVIDIA GeForce vs. Studio vs. Quadro Driver: What’s The Difference?
At its GTC event in March, NVIDIA released its first ‘Creator’ driver, one that targeted the ProViz market just as the Game Ready drivers have targeted gamers.

Qualcomm Introduces Networking Pro & FastConnect Wi-Fi 6 Solutions
It’s hard to talk Qualcomm and not mention 5G, but the company is still very much focused on all of the other wireless standards it supports, including Wi-Fi 6. While Wi-Fi 6 has been around for a couple of years, its adoption thus far has been pretty modest. Things are improving as…..
CoreCtrl: A Radeon Settings Alternative For Linux
It’s a frustrating reality for Linux users that Windows software counterparts tend to be better. They may offer greater functionality, better design, and be easier-to-use. There are some exceptions, such as with the NVIDIA Linux GPU driver, which offers two features the Windows version doesn’t: temperature monitoring, and fan control. For the…..
Intel Launches Eight 10th-Gen ‘Comet Lake’ Models
The latest batch of 10th-gen Intel Core processors have arrived, coming to us in the form of Comet Lake, and with core/thread counts going up to 6C/12T.

Acronis Releases True Image 2020, Enhancing Its Data Protection Capabilities
Keeping your important data backed up is crucial, yet it’s a fact that the vast majority of folks don’t seem to grasp – until, of course, the inevitable happens. I’ve personally lost data over the years, and I’ve known way too many people who’ve experienced the same. I have multiple solutions in…..
