A clock-for-clock (IPC) test of Intel LGA 1700 processors: we're comparing the 12th-gen, 13th-gen, and "new" 14th-gen CPU models to offer insight into their architectural improvements, if any.

Pricey gaming chairs might not rank highly on a PC owner's list of priorities, but if you want to sit comfortably for hours, maybe investing in a good chair should be more of a priority.

Intel is launching today their latest-gen Core desktop CPUs with three new models: the Core i9-14900K, Core i7-14700K, and Core i5-14600K, all sound familiar, maybe too familiar. Let's test them.

The Arc A580 is Intel's latest budget graphics card. Essentially, you get all modern features such as AV1 encoding, XeSS support, and ray tracing, at a more affordable price point, and that's cool.

With the release of new drivers and new games, plus the request of many readers, it's time for an updated look at the Radeon RX 7900 XTX vs. GeForce RTX 4080 rivalry with fresh benchmarks.

We compare the GeForce RTX 4070 head-to-head with the more affordable RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. Recently both GPUs have seen price cuts, so which is the better buy and at what price target?

The Phantom Liberty update brings significant updates to Cyberpunk 2077, including DLSS 3.5, further graphics and hardware support enhancements. It's GPU benchmark time.

The Ryzen 5 7500F is AMD's most affordable Zen 4-based CPU, though it's still a bit of an elusive offering, in this review we'll be comparing it against its chief rival, the Intel Core i5-13400F.

In this 45 game benchmark shootout we put the $600 GeForce RTX 4070 and the $500 Radeon RX 7800 XT head-to-head to see which comes up as the ultimate mid-range GPU winner.

The Radeon RX 7700 XT is AMD's latest mid-range GPU targeting the $450 price point. However, even on paper we can anticipate a few issues with the new card.

Given that the Radeon 7800 XT mirrors the 6800 XT's performance, it's not particularly thrilling, especially after 3 years. But at just $500, the 7800 XT will likely become the go-to option for many.

Bethesda's latest RPG brings with it some space opera vibes and striking visuals. Let's take a look at Starfield's GPU performance by testing 32 GPUs using different quality presets, resolutions and FSR.

It only made sense for AMD to create a 6-core X3D CPU when they had enough defective 5800X3D silicon. That time has come, albeit on a limited basis. Is the 5600X3D any good this late in the game?

We take a look at the new Radeon RX 7900 GRE or "Golden Rabbit Edition," an odd name for a gaming graphics card. This is going to be sold mostly in China but maybe you can get them elsewhere, too.

An in-depth comparison between the Radeon RX 7600 and GeForce RTX 4060, both new GPUs selling at around $300, or a tad less. Although prev-gen GPUs tend to do better, in this direct battle, who wins?

Let's pretend for a minute it's 2022 again, and the Radeon RX 7900 XT is just getting released. But in this scenario, the GPU is introduced with 9 months of driver development and $150 slashed off the MSRP.

Here's an updated look at AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D when tested against Intel's best offering, the Core i9-13900K. Expect a head-to-head shootout in terms of gaming performance and power consumption.

Valve has managed to captivate the gaming public with the Steam Deck, so can Asus pick up the torch with the ROG Ally and persuade the masses that handheld PCs represent the future of PC gaming?

Today, we're comparing the GeForce RTX 4060 with its more upscale sibling from a different silicon wafer, the RTX 4060 Ti, to determine if the Ti variant is worth the extra $100.

The Acer Predator X27U is a high-end OLED gaming monitor with a straightforward name that is similar to other 27-inch gaming displays from LG, Asus and Corsair. Can the Acer differentiate?

While I spend a lot of time gaming, my main consideration when it comes to a keyboard is how good it is for typing. However, somewhat shamefully, I had never used a Ducky. Here are my impressions.

Despite our fondness for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, we can admit that just 8GB of VRAM is not enough for a $400 GPU in mid-2023. So what does the extra VRAM bring to the table?

We've spent a ton of time testing the latest AMD and Nvidia mainstream GPUs, meant to be capable of 1440p gaming, however to summarize our experience, these new products have been extremely underwhelming.

I read somewhere that truly prolific authors write their documents on old typewriters. Writing on computers can be convenient, but they are riffed with distractions. Meet the reMarkable 2 and Type Folio.

We're taking a second look at the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, but not because we think it's a graphics card that you should buy, but rather because we think it's completely lacking and you should avoid it.

It's time for a classic AMD vs. Intel head-to-head gaming battle, comparing the Ryzen 7 7800X3D against the Core i7-13700K, both high performance CPUs and a close match in terms of pricing.

The GeForce RTX 4060 is Nvidia's latest GPU priced at $300. The GPU maker claims this new graphics card is 20% faster than the RTX 3060, despite having a slightly lower MSRP. But is that truly the case?

We can finally present to you the results of our extensive AMD B650 motherboard roundup. It's been a massive undertaking that took several months to test 35 boards in total, but it's finally complete.
