Few topics can be as divisive as PC versus console gaming, kind of like Ford versus Chevy or Coke versus Pepsi (or politics, if things get really heated). Not without irony, PCs and consoles are more alike than ever these days. Even so, a new report on projected game sales in the coming years is not going to do anything settle the debate.

According

Minisforum is making quite the name for itself in the compact PC space, served primarily by an extensive (and ever-growing) range of mini PCs, but also tiny motherboards like its BD795i SE we wrote about earlier this week. Keeping the compact party going, Minisforum has released the AI X1 Pro, yet another promising mini PC that it showed off

Based on information from a prominent industry analyst, Apple kept mmWave (millimeter wave) 5G support out of its in-house designed C1 modem for a good reason: power efficiency. The C1, by the way, debuted in the iPhone 16e that Apple released last week. Nonetheless, once the kinks are worked out, consumers could see a new iteration (be it

Next week, Earth will be lined up between the Sun and the Moon, creating a total lunar eclipse. North Americans, at least, haven’t seen such an eclipse, otherwise known as a “blood moon,” in several years—since November 2022—so this is a great opportunity to catch this special event. Unlike a solar eclipse, no special equipment or protective

Gamers finally have some good news in terms of GPU availability. AMD has launched its Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPUs to retail today. Retailers in both the UK and the US are reporting good inventory levels. In the UK, Overclockers UK confirmed it has around 910 AMD Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs in stock (with a staggered release planned),

We keep hearing that Apple plans to release an iPhone handset in a folding form factor, but will it really happen and if so, what can we expect? Prominent Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo offered some insight on both accounts. According to Kuo, there is a timeline for Apple’s first foldable iPhone, and he also shares some hardware predictions and

Yesterday, during his address to the US Congress, President Trump called for the revocation of the CHIPS Act, arguing that it is a waste of money and not an effective way of securing investment into the country.

The CHIPS Act sought to promote domestic research and semiconductor manufacturing through a program that gave subsidies of $52

It has been nearly four years since the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, which brought these classic titles into the modern era. Fans have been eagerly awaiting more games in the beloved series to get the same treatment. However, it seemed like a long shot after Blizzard absorbed game studio Vicarious Visions, which worked on THPS

The world’s first “biological computer” has officially hit the market, marking what may actually be a significant breakthrough in AI technology. Developed by Australian company Cortical Labs, the CL1 fuses human brain cells with silicon hardware to create a dynamic, learning neural network. This innovative system, known as Synthetic Biological

When Apple released a slew of MacBook Pros and some of the neglected Mac desktop line on the M4 generation of silicon last fall, one odd exclusion was the MacBook Air. It’s Cupertino’s most popular notebook, by the company’s own metrics, and its continued existence with M2 and M3 versions was a head-scratcher. Well, the itch is finally gone

The great graphics card shortage of 2025 (yes, I’m officially dubbing it as such now, at least in reference to NVIDIA’s newest generation GeForce RTX 50 series) is not only frustrating, it’s also stalling growth in the PC GPU market, according to the latest report by the bean counters (or would that be chip counters?) at Jon Peddie Research.

In the beginning there was Google Voice Search, followed by Google Assistant, and most recently Gemini. Soon however, there might be a new assistant in town called Pixel Sense, something Mountain View claims to finally merge AI-generated predictions (Gemini) with a smart helper (Google Assistant). The new assistant will reportedly run completely

After rolling out a couple of new iPad tablets yesterday (iPad Air with M3 and a new entry-level iPad with an A16 Bionic), Apple today followed suit with some more (and bigger) announcements, including a new MacBook Air powered by its M4 silicon, a retooled Mac Studio, and its most performant chip to date, the new M3 Ultra with twice the Neural

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 officially launches today in its various guises and custom third party models. However, the Founders Edition variant, which comes directly from NVIDIA, will be missing at launch. This is notable because the Founders Edition is sold at MSRP, the lowest price for the GPU. In this case, that’s $549, with custom third

We’ve been praising continued price drops on OLED displays for quite some time now, mostly in the TV arena but more recently in the realm of gaming monitors, too. Almost overnight (it felt that way, anyway), monitor makers began embracing OLED. Now we’re starting to see an influx of newer quantum dot OLED (QD-OLED), one of which is the highlight

AMD RDNA 4 And Radeon RX 9070 Series: Radeon RX 9070 – $549, 9070 XT – $599 MSRP AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT target the high volume, mid-range PC gaming market, are priced aggressively, and take the fight to NVIDIA. Competitive Overall Performance Improved Ray Tracing Aggressive MSRPs Many Software Updates Overclocking Potential…

It’s pretty ironic, if you think about it. AMD makes desktop CPUs, then turns them into BGA chips for the high-end mobile market. Laptop vendors don’t buy as many of those CPUs as AMD would like, and they start to filter into the market via alternative channels—like these Minisforum “Mobile on Desktop” (MoDT) products. So it goes that we have

Firefly has announced that its “Blue Ghost” spacecraft has captured a stunning video showing the dark side of the moon while it was preparing to land on the lunar surface. Firefly is one of the private companies selected via NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, the purpose of which is to transport NASA equipment to the

In what is a depressingly-rare show of pre-release transparency, AMD has posted a support article concerning UEFI support on its RDNA 4-based GPUs, including the soon-to-be-released Radeon RX 9070 series. The article is surprisingly wordy for such a simple topic: AMD will only officially support UEFI systems with graphics cards sporting GPUs

It was evident shorty after its launch that Monster Hunter Wilds was going to be a success story for Capcom. The game managed an impressive feat on PC, passing the million-concurrent-players mark over the weekend. Even some of the rough edges that showed up were unable to slow down gamers from embarking on multiplayer hunts within its beautiful,
