NVIDIA Accused Of Anti-competitive Practices With New Partner Program
Some accusations are being hurled at NVIDIA today for alleged anti-competitive practices revolving around its newly launched “GeForce Partner Program”. If you hadn’t heard of that yet, don’t feel bad, because this is the first time I’m hearing about it, too. Despite that, anyone who paid attention to NVIDIA’s blog last week…..
Leaked Slides Highlight Features Coming To AMD’s Upcoming Ryzen 2000 Series Processors
It’s beginning to feel like AMD’s preparing a launch for some new CPUs, and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t because of the barrage of rumors that have been floating around. Some of those rumors include believable slides, encompassing both Ryzen 2000 series chips, as well as the second-gen Ryzen…..
Khronos Group Announces Vulkan 1.1, Brings Numerous Enhancements Including Multi-GPU Support
It’s been a very busy few years for Khronos Group and its Vulkan graphics API. Three years ago, Valve stunned GDC audiences with the announcement that it had begun work on a Vulkan graphics driver. That came at a time when the industry was only barely grasping what Vulkan was all about,…..
ASRock Reportedly Diving Into GPU Market With A Focus On Radeon
For better or for worse, the explosion of cryptocurrency and crypto mining has affected the PC components market significantly – and not to mention the consumers who want those products. Consumers have a hard time finding the graphics card they want, and companies have a hard time getting enough product out the…..
Windows 10 Spring Creators Update To Bolster Machine-learning Capabilities
The next major iteration of Windows 10 is due soon, either this month or early next, and based on all that we know so far, it’s going to be worth the upgrade. Called the Spring Creators Update (AKA: Redstone 4), and versioned 1803, one of the biggest (but probably most subtle) things…..
As Doubt Surrounding Qualcomm Deal Grows, Broadcom Tries To Woo US With $1.5B Pledge
It’s been an extremely busy couple of months for both Qualcomm and Broadcom, as the latter continues to pursue a hostile takeover. Earlier this week, Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) announced that its annual shareholders meeting would be pushed back to April 5, as the US Committee on Foreign Investment decided to spend some…..
Intel’s NUC With Radeon RX Vega M Looks Great, Runs Even Better
It doesn’t even feel like it’s been that long since Intel announced its partnership with AMD to deliver Radeon graphics on some of its SKUs, but here we are, not far from an actual launch. Korean tech site Playwares (via HotHardware) managed to snag one of the new Hades Canyon NUCs, sporting…..
Arm’s Latest Mali Processors Bring High-end Capabilities To Mainstream Devices
It’s nice to envision a world where only high-end devices exist, and with Arm’s latest processors, the gap between high-end and mainstream is tightened. The new products include the Mali-G52 and Mali-G31 graphics processors, the Mali-D51 display processor, and also the Mali-V52 video processor. Yup – that’s a lot to wrap your…..

Corsair has just launched a new $70 chassis ($80 with tempered glass) that aims to give you everything you’re looking for in a chassis at any price-point. The Carbide 275R is a mid-tower coming in either black or white that’s painted on with the goal of a minimalist aesthetic – but not…..
AMD’s 18.3.1 Radeon Driver Encapsulates ‘Project ReSX’ eSports Games Optimizations
AMD has just rolled out a big performance update to its Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition driver. It targets a couple of new game releases, but the bulk of the focus is on eSports. I know this because this driver warranted an overarching moniker, Project ReSX (for ‘eSports eXperience’). This driver doesn’t only…..
Intel Coffee Lake Processors Can Work In 100- And 200- Series Motherboards (With Caveats)
When Intel released its 8th-gen Core “Coffee Lake” processors last fall, the most notable improvement brought forth was the introduction of 6-core models (eg: i7-8700K). At the time, it felt like Intel worked its magic quickly in order to counter some AMD Ryzen parts, but for the entire ecosystem, whatever caused us…..
Some Newegg Customers Being Handed Tax Bills For Past Purchases In Connecticut
There are a billion (give or take) retailers out there, but there are only a handful of things that one could do to lure people in better than the competition. A lack of a sales tax is a good one, a trait Newegg has adopted for many of its customers. As it happens, though,…..
NVIDIA Could Launch A New GPU Series At GTC 2018… Or Maybe It Won’t
It feels like no tech product is safe from incessant rumor, but details surrounding NVIDIA’s next graphics card launch have been so clouded, I feel like we’re at a point where we know so much, we know nothing at all. There are many contradictions out there, but at the end of the…..
Android Smartphone Quality Goes Down A Notch With Every Copied iPhone Feature
Last week’s Mobile World Congress was an interesting event for a handful of reasons. For one, it snowed in Barcelona, which is something that didn’t just affect the comfort of traveling press, it also complicated the plans of Formula 1 teams getting their preseason testing done. But more importantly, we also saw the…..
First Thoughts On 3DRealms’ Modern (But Classic) FPS Ion Maiden
Can you remember 2009? I know; it was a long time ago. But in the spring of that year, it seemed all but certain that 3DRealms (and Apogee) were just about gone forever. Yet today, I’m writing about a brand-new 3DRealms game that’s made in honor of some of the classics that…..
Fractal Design Increases Its Angular Momentum With The Meshify C Mini – Dark TG
Fractal Design is at it again, adding to its Meshify line-up with the Meshify C Mini – Dark TG. Quite a mouthful for such a diminutive chassis. An open micro ATX layout, the MCM-DTG(??) promises to provide “unrestricted airflow” by making use of the angular and stylish front mesh that runs the entire…..

Qualcomm Bolsters Its Defenses, Lays Out Strong Reasons For Remaining Independent
The Qualcomm vs. Broadcom fight has been ongoing for months, and with Broadcom’s continued aggression, it could be considered a fierce one. The situation is soon to reach a critical point, though: on March 6, votes will be tabulated to figure out whether or not six ‘independent directors’ from Broadcom will be…..

Prebuilt PCs Bundling Radeon RX 580 Or Higher Qualify For Free Copy Of Far Cry 5
Looking forward to Far Cry 5 but don’t currently have a PC worth playing it on? Well, AMD wants you to kill two birds with one wallet: buy an AMD-infused PC, and a free copy of Ubisoft’s latest FPS will be yours. And, believe me, it’s one that’s going to be worth…..
Qualcomm Fills A Higher-end Performance And Features Gap With Snapdragon 700 Series
Qualcomm keeps telling Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) that it’s being undervalued, and I’d say the company is doing really well at proving its point so far in 2018. The company releases so many news items, that it’s hard for a mere mortal to keep up. That even excludes the back-and-forth bickerings between the…..
Qualcomm Simulates 5G Network Conditions To Give Us A Preview Of Real-world Speeds
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…..

Micron Announces 2nd Gen 64-Layer 3D NAND Flash – Up To 256GB Chips
About 18-months ago, we were on call with Micron with its first generation 64-layer 3D NAND flash chips, which were quite impressive at the time. A lot can happen in those 18-months as Micron goes from 8GB in a 59mm2 pack, to 32GB, not just through process size reductions, but also through…..
ZTE Announces Tempo Go Unlocked Smartphone, Priced At $80
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…..
