Xiaomi has confirmed the launch of its new 17 series smartphones with the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max packing the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.

Roku has announced the Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector D1R Cube (try to repeat that five times really fast). Made in partnership with projector manufacturer Aurzen, this is the first projector to feature Roku OS built-in and, with its budget pricing, could very well shake up the budget projector sector.

Ironically, the D1R Cube isn’t a cube,

Amazon is getting a head start on the holiday shopping season with another Prime Big Deal Days event, with promises of some of the “best deals of the season so far” on popular brands such as Beats, LEGO, Milk Makeup, and KitchenAid. And as the name of the event implies, this is another sales event that is geared towards Amazon Prime members.

Over in the UK, quantum computing company Quantum Motion has debuted an industry-first quantum computer, manufactured entirely with a standard silicon CMOS chip fabrication process. This fabrication process, which is also used for conventional PC hardware, should result in a truly mass-manufacturable supercomputer, which is distinct from the

Collectors with deep pockets have yet another opportunity to own a piece of Apple history, this time with an extremely rare Apple-1 computer housed in a wooden Byte Shop case. The nearly 50-year-old system is still fully functional and is expected to fetch at least $300,000 at auction. At the time of this writing, the high bid sits at $144,311.

Remember Tensordyne, who promised to slash AI GPU power consumption with a new way of doing things? That entire pitch was basically predicated on the power predicament that the industry finds itself in. Put simply, there’s just not enough electricity to scale out the world’s AI compute demands. That’s likely why NVIDIA is reportedly willing

Yesterday, eager eyes noticed that Rockstar Games had made a job listing for Lead Software Engineer, claiming within that Grand Theft Auto 6 would be “the largest game launch in history”— but just a day later, the text within that job listing has changed, omitting the entire paragraph and combining the surrounding two in its stead. This struck

UEFI secure boot was designed to block malicious code from sneaking into your PC’s BIOS boot-up process. However, a newly discovered ransomware dubbed HybridPetya somehow found a way to circumvent this. Cybersecurity firm ESET discovered the threat and revealed that it had not been observed in any active attacks just yet.

Here’s how it

As of this week, the best-selling workstation GPU on popular PC products retailer Newegg isn’t from one of the usual suspects AMD or NVIDIA. Instead, Intel has secured the crown by nailing a key, neglected budget segment in the workstation GPU market with its Intel Arc Pro B50. This remarkable achievement, first spotted by @Haze2K1 on Twitter,

Japanese Twitter user Komenezumi (@komenezumi1006) purchased something quite curious: a GUNNIR “Intel Arc Sample1 TF 16G Graphics Card.” What is it? Well, Windows and the Intel Arc drivers think it’s a 16GB version of the Intel Arc A750. Officially, such a product doesn’t exist, but it doesn’t particularly surprise us that there are test boards

China’s market regulators announced today a preliminary finding that U.S.-based chip giant NVIDIA has violated the country’s anti-monopoly law. The declaration from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) adds more sparks to the already tense trade and tech rivalry between the world’s two largest economies.

A team of Pennsylvania State University researchers has a unique take on mysterious red dots first observed by the James Webb Space Telescope. Initially thought to be tiny, crimson galaxies, the red dots are now proposed to be a new and exotic class of celestial object: a hybrid of a black hole and a star, which researchers have dubbed “black

With Borderlands 4 out in the wild, we’re already seeing some complaints about its performance. This has become a somewhat common trend with large releases during the last several years, independent of what platform it is on. Borderlands 4 is available across various performance-tiers of hardware, including the PC, Xbox, PS5, and Nintendo

Qualcomm revealed the name of its next flagship system-on-chip (SoC) for future Android devices, and it’s called Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. At first glance, it may seem like Qualcomm skipped a few generations after releasing the Snapdragon 8 Elite last year. Qualcomm acknowledges this in a blog post explaining its new naming scheme, which it

What do Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT priced at MSRP all have in common? Nobody has ever supplied definitive proof that any of them actually exist. That may change, however, with the Radeon RX 9070 XT inching closer to its $599 recommended pricing in the wild, with a PowerColor model selling for $50 over MSRP.

That’s

Over the weekend, it came to attention that Founders Edition models of the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 had disappeared from NVIDIA’s website in several regions, including the United States and United Kingdom. This led to speculation that NVIDIA may have discontinued the FE models to make room for an anticipated Super refresh, but

Once upon a time, hitting triple-digit frame rates in a game was considered a big deal, and that’s still sometimes the case but no longer a rarity. So what is a big deal these days? Blowing past the capabilities of any monitor on the market and crossing over the 1,000 frame per second (FPS) threshold, which is what AMD is pitching on a slide
