ASUS Announces Its First ROG Phone
ASUS has released a number of phones over the years, namely its Zenfone range, but here at Computex 2018, its very first smartphone was unveiled under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) branding, meaning this phone is built with gaming at the forefront of its functionality. Taking on the likes of the Razer Phone,…..
Corsair Officially Launches Its iCUE Control Software, Releases RGB DDR4 & Chassis To Celebrate
Earlier, we wrote about Corsair’s latest Crystal chassis, an mATX tempered glass option that becomes even better for those who dig lots and lots of RGB. To control that RGB, you need a solid software solution, and likely to the surprise of no one, Corsair has been working on such a thing…..
Small & See-through: Corsair Shrinks Its Crystal Series Down To Give Us The mATX 280X
With its Crystal series of chassis, Corsair gives users an option that is rather… see-through. Most panels on most Crystal models feature tempered glass, and with RGB kitted out throughout the system, the end result is seriously eye-catching (whether that’s a good thing depends on your tastes). Personally, I’ve come to really…..
Qualcomm Announces First Dedicated Extended Reality Platform – XR1
Virtual and Augmented Reality headsets are slowly but surely, taking off. The novelty has faded, and more serious applications are putting the technology to use, backed by a number of companies in the tech market. However, despite the number of devices on the market, there are really only two providers for the…..
Intel Announces Optane DC Persistent Memory For The Enterprise, Expected To Go On Sale This Year
Intel has today announced the introduction of its Optane DC persistent memory, which as the name suggests, is targeted squarely at the datacenter, behaves similarly to DRAM, and offers persistent storage. Persistence is just part of the equation, though; Optane DC persistent memory is designed to improve performance, and in effect improve…..
Apple Decides To Have A Beef With Valve’s Steam Link iOS App
It looks like someone’s being a bad Apple again. Earlier this week, Valve released the Steam Link mobile app that let users stream games from their PC to their phone or tablet – a la NVIDIA GameStream (which has existed for five years). Like any developer worth its weight, Valve released both…..

It’s a big week for those who like to measure the viewport performance of leading applications, as SPECgpc members have just launched their latest benchmark: SPECviewperf 13.

AMD’s Radeon Adrenalin Edition 18.5.1 Driver Unifies Desktop & Mobile GPUs
It’s beginning to look like this is the week for new graphics card drivers. Earlier, we posted about NVIDIA’s latest Game Ready drivers, which tackles performance for The Crew 2 (beta) and State of Decay, but somehow, a brand-new Radeon release managed to escape me. Yesterday, AMD released 18.5.1, an actually very…..
To Accelerate Its AI Vision, Qualcomm Forms AI Research Organization
In case the fact has somehow escaped you, artificial intelligence is big business right now. We went from barely hearing about AI in the real-world to hearing about it all of the time. It’s hardly annoying, though, like many other constant reminders in our lives can be (it’s “Laurel”, by the way).…..
Qualcomm Launches Snapdragon 710 Platform, First Equipped Devices Expected Soon
Back in February, at a time when Qualcomm had been hassled relentlessly by acquisition efforts, the company announced a new higher-end Snapdragon mobile SoC series targeting devices for those who demand solid performance, but don’t necessarily need the best of the best. Ultimately, Qualcomm wants to get AI-capable chips into more and…..
NVIDIA’s 397.93 Game Ready GeForce Driver Tackles Performance For The Crew 2 Beta & State of Decay 2
Cluing me into the fact that The Crew 2‘s launch is much closer than I realized, NVIDIA has today released a new Game Ready GeForce driver that tackles performance enhancements for the game before it even gets here. I was a pretty big fan of the original The Crew, having been a…..
NVIDIA Releases A Bit Of An Odd GPU: 3GB GeForce GTX 1050
A 3GB version of NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1050 has been rumored about for some time, and today, we finally see the card rise to the surface – at least by way of appearing in plain text form on NVIDIA’s website. It’s a bit of an odd beast, though… almost too odd, making…..
The Synology DiskStation DS1618+: When The Great Gets An Upgrade
Synology has officially launched the DiskStation DS1618+, a six-bay prosumer NAS geared for anyone from enthusiasts to small and medium-sized businesses that need room to safely store, manage, and backup impressively large amounts of data. The DS1618+ marks the first Synology NAS utilizing Denverton C3000 Atom processors, replacing the aging five-year old Rangeley Atom C2000…..
It’s Beginning To Look Like The PlayStation 5 Could Feature AMD’s Ryzen
This isn’t likely to come as a surprise to anyone who follows the console market, given the fact that AMD silicon is currently featured in both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but we’re beginning to see hints that AMD’s Zen microarchitecture is going to wind up in Sony’s next major console.…..
EVGA To Begin Providing Its Motherboard Drivers On 8GB Flash Drives, Not Discs
From the “It’s about damn time!” files is news from EVGA that the company is going to soon be shipping its motherboard drivers on a… *drum roll*… flash drive. Novel idea, right? In reality, it’s been an idea pretty much everyone has had at some point the past decade, as optical discs…..
Checking Out AMD’s Santa Clara Headquarters
To better show off what AMD has in store for 2018 (and the future) on the business side of its… business, the company invited press and analysts down to its new Santa Clara headquarters last week. Usually, I don’t take enough photos to justify a post, but this time was different. I…..
Intel Signs Deal With European Automaker To Deliver Mobileye Autonomous Tech To 8 Million Vehicles
Intel may be struggling with getting its 10nm processors out the door, but in other markets, the company is apparently making some great progress, and signing some huge deals. Last year, the company acquired Israel’s Mobileye for $15.3 billion, and while Intel has dabbled in many markets it ended up pulling out…..
OnePlus Launches Aggressively Styled And Spec’d OnePlus 6
OnePlus’ latest flagship has proven to be one of the worst-kept secrets in 2018, with an incredible number of leaks that turned out to be true, for the most part. The new OnePlus 6 sports a very different design over the previous flagships, largely because of the all-glass design, and, the Apple-esque…..
NVIDIA Reportedly Releasing 4K/144Hz G-SYNC Monitors By End Of May
4K/144Hz G-SYNC monitors have been rumored for launch for a number of months, but we now have actual proof that some models will be gracing store shelves (digital or otherwise) soon. As in… this month, potentially. This is according to KitGuru, which talked to NVIDIA’s G-SYNC PM Vijay Sharma at a London…..
Logitech Makes 1ms Wireless Performance Affordable With Its G305 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Mouse
“With the Logitech G305, there is no reason to game with a leash” may be one of the best lines I’ve ever seen in a press release. It of course relates to the very product mentioned: a brand-new LIGHTSPEED gaming mouse model from Logitech that brings ultra-fast wireless performance to the masses.…..
Bethesda Announces Rage 2, Dystopian Open-world FPS Due In 2019
The original Rage, which was released in 2011 as a semi-open-world shooter, impressed the masses overall. On PC, there were some issues that kept people unhappy for a time, but ultimately, the game felt like a commercial success… something proven by the fact that we’re now talking about its just-announced sequel. And…..
Qualcomm To Support Forthcoming WPA3 Wireless Encryption Protocol – We Investigate Why That Matters
It’s hard to believe that WPA2 has been with us now for nearly 14 years, and that it’s taken so long for a new standard to replace it, not too dissimilar from the transition from USB 2.0 to 3.0. For the most part, WPA2 has done its job. It’s been the predominant…..
Samsung’s Galaxy S10 Rumored To Include A Finger Print Reader Under The Display
Considering the fact that Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and S9+ came out only a couple of months ago, it’s a little surprising that we’re already hearing about what the S10 might introduce. Or… is it? For the most part, the S9 family doesn’t look or feel that much different from the S8 family,…..
Thermaltake’s View 32 TG RGB Edition Chassis Offers Lots Of Bling & Lots Of Glass
Nearly a year after I took Corsair’s Crystal 570X chassis for a test drive, I find myself still admiring its overall design. It’s not the easiest chassis to work with, a given with tempered glass on all sides, but the finished product looks fantastic – especially if you have some LED fans.…..
New Software Technique Helps Identify Used Flash Memory Chips Sold As Factory Fresh
Counterfeit products have likely been a problem for about as long as humans have existed, with an incredible number of believable products being recycled and reused, or straight-up faked, hitting markets every day. The issue is especially bad in China, which is home to a countless number of counterfeiting stories – we’ve…..
