Oh yeah, Intel is on the verge of releasing the hotly-anticipated, NVIDIA RTX-fighting flagship GPU, the Arc B770 Battlemage into the wild.

Fresh leaks have unveiled specifications of Sony’s 200-megapixel camera sensor, the IMX09E, a powerhouse sensor tipped to rival (and potentially outperform) sensors used in Samsung’s current and next-gen Galaxy S Ultra flagships.

Fresh data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided new clues about the nature of the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 e, a rocky world located just 40 light-years from Earth. Even if researchers have yet to definitively confirm it, JWST’s initial findings have hinted at an exciting possibility: a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, which could

Yesterday, developer of PS3 emulator RPCS3 Whatcookie posted a 20-minute YouTube video to their YouTube channel in defense of AVX-512, a maligned CPU instruction set that debuted with Intel’s Skylake-X architecture in 2015 and didn’t see adoption by AMD CPUs until 2022’s Zen 4.

Lenovo was quite the busy body at IFA 2025 last week, having announced a barrage of gaming related PC products, as well as a bunch of ThinkPads and ThinkBooks, including a nifty ThinkBook VertiFlex concept. Among the mix was a new generation handheld, the Legion Go 2, and early listings at Best Buy reveal that it’s coming with a comparatively

Sony is sticking with an optical disc drive for at least one more console generation and it’s decision is “firm,” according to a new report. Just as Sony did with its PlayStation 5 lineup, the PlayStation 6 will support a detachable disc drive, presumably with support for Blu-ray media, and offer both a disc and disc-less digital model at

With support from NASA, a team of six researchers from the University of California, San Diego ISSCOR laboratory investigated the effect of spaceflight on human cells. The results show that being in space increases the rate at which human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells age.

If you had trouble or slow speeds when trying to connect to Asian websites (or vice-versa) over the weekend, you’re not alone. The underlying reason for the slowdowns were a few undersea fiber cables cut nearby Jeddah, South Arabia. According to Microsoft, the cut happened around 5:45 on the morning of September 6th.

Intel is looking to leverage its chip manufacturing foundry business as a core part of its plan to right the ship, as the company attempts to secure orders from third parties.

PC enthusiasts around the Internet were buzzing recently, when @I_Leak_VN posted reports of a bespoke GeForce RTX 5090 featuring a whopping 128GB of prototype GDDR7X VRAM, to reportedly be sold for a wallet-busting $13,200 USD.

About a year ago, an AI startup known as Recogni announced a patented number system for AI math, known as Pareto. Pareto is a logarithmic system, meaning that it stores numbers using their logarithmic representation rather than their absolute values. This can be highly advantageous for AI, because it drastically simplifies the math you need

Europe has officially entered the elite global supercomputing race with the inauguration of JUPITER, its first exascale supercomputer.

If there’s a lesson on how to eke every ounce of performance out of a single platform each generation, Porsche would probably be at the top of our list to lead that class. To wit, the Stuttgart-based automaker’s new 992.2-based 2026 911 Turbo S, unveiled at the IAA Mobility trade show, has just become the most powerful 911 ever made. Purists
