Qualcomm’s New Snapdragon SoCs for Mobiles – 632, 439 & 429
Qualcomm’s chips are not always just for the high-end flagship mobiles like the Snapdragon 845, new generation Windows-based laptops, and VR/AR standalone devices – there are of course, more budget minded chips for when you don’t need the best of the best. It’s with these three new chips that Qualcomm is expanding…..
PUBG Launches Event Passes, Immediately Annoying Game’s Dedicated Fanbase
After its launch, it didn’t take long for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to become one of the most played games on the planet. Even today, as of the time of writing, the game has peaked at 1.4 million concurrent players today – twice as many as the #2, Dota 2. PUBG is clearly still…..

Intel’s Brian Krzanich Resigns, Bob Swan Takes Over As Interim CEO
The tech industry has had a very exciting past year, and in fact, I might even go as far to call it one of the most exciting years in tech – at least on the semiconductor front. Unfortunately for Intel, most of the excitement has been seen outside its walls, as the…..
Noctua Releases Three CPU Coolers For Intel’s LGA3647 Xeon Platform
When we met up with our friends at Noctua during Computex a couple of weeks ago, it impressed me a bit to see a couple of CPU coolers destined for Intel’s latest Xeon platform, based around the LGA3647 socket. Clearly, there’s some demand, because beyond these coolers, I saw the platform promoted…..
Wouldn’t It Be Great If Game Devs Could Decide On Saved Game Locations?
A thread over at reddit‘s r/PCGaming subreddit caught my eye yesterday, and given the fact it now has some 4,000 upvotes, it seems like I wasn’t the only one. Simply titled, “Don’t you hate when a game saves to My Documents or App Data instead of wherever you installed the game?”, some…..

Intel Confirms That AMD Is Major Threat To Its Enterprise Business
During last week’s Computex, the topic of EPYC came up in conversation more than once – not because it had anything to do with the event itself, but because speculation was running rampant about AMD’s potential growth. Everyone I chatted to acknowledged that no enterprise customer was going to take EPYC too…..
NVIDIA Volta GPUs Help Power The World’s Newest Fastest Supercomputer: ORNL’s Summit
Oh, Oak Ridge. You’ve gone and done it again. Remember the supercomputer “TITAN” that debuted five years ago? Even as far as supercomputers go, that thing was super, but the way things go in technology, no piece of performance gear can hold the top spot for too long. In recent years, TITAN…..
Modest Updates To The Silent & Dark Base Cases From be quiet! At Computex 2018
Some updates don’t have to be big and bold to improve a product, and while things might seem ‘boring’ from be quiet!, they are important and improve the overall quality of life for a product. The Silent and Dark Base cases are rather minimalist, and don’t hinge on flashy RGB LEDs and…..
Taking A Look At Noctua’s Booth At Computex 2018
With Computex 2018 still going on, we managed to pop over to Noctua’s booth and see what was up there. While some of the products had been recently released, others were being finalized for production, and more still were still in the prototype phase. Of course though, we’re going to start with…..
Taking A Tour Of Corsair’s Computex Suite
At Corsair’s hotel suite during Computex, the company didn’t have a huge assortment of new product to show off, but what was exhibited is well worth checking out. I hate to admit that the thing to get me excited the most is a piece of software, but bear with me. First, let’s…..

Before Computex 2018 kicked off, quite a few of us in the tech press were fairly sure that AMD would be announcing a new Threadripper, and possibly an update on some new Vega GPU tech to come. What we got was some surprises, as well as confirmation of what we already knew.…..
Cooler Master Shows Low Profile & ‘Gamepad’ Keyboards At Computex 2018
Keyboards have had a little bit of stale period lately. Mechanicals took over very quickly and I have to say, we’re better off as a result, but then RGB took over, and it’s getting a bit much. When you RGB all the things, what’s left to innovate and change? Fortunately, there is…..
Intel Announces i7-8086K & An Unnamed 28-Core 5GHz CPU
As part of its 50-year anniversary, Intel announced a limited edition run of a special CPU called the i7-8086K.

EVGA’s ROBOCLOCKER Designed To Make LN2 Overclocking Easier & More Efficient
Over the past couple of months, I’ve talked to press peeps about what could be interesting at Computex. We all seemed to agree that this year’s Computex may not be the most exciting for performance hardware, only because we’re in between certain launches (CPU, GPU, etc). Other companies would have to step…..

It Doesn’t Feel Like NVIDIA Plans To Release A New GeForce Series This Summer
If NVIDIA’s beloved co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang has a keynote to deliver to a room full of gamers, but has little gaming stuff to relay, you can bet on one thing: those gamers are going to ask about it. At Huang’s annual Computex showing, the man in charge talked a bit…..
Has RGB Gone Too Far? Aorus Releases DDR4 Kit With Fake Modules To Complete Your Rig’s Look
The title of this post targets RGB, but to be fair, cost could also be a major factor here. Nonetheless, one of the latest releases from GIGABYTE’s Aorus brand baffles me a bit. At first, I was excited to see the company enter the DRAM market, but after seeing what’s on offer,…..
