    Qualcomm Continues to Disrupt the PC Industry with the Addition of Snapdragon X Plus Platform

    Helicon and Zerene along with my other photo editing softwares do make heavy use of dGPU so unless this platform gets a half decent GPU along with native software support there is little to no reason to move to ARM. Also Battery life on these devices would be better than crappy Intel based...

    SMART Modular Technologies Introduces New Family of CXL Add-in Cards for Memory Expansion

    Installing DIMMs into that 4 slot card is going to be a pain compared to 8 slot version where DIMMs are perpendicular to card(though that comes are cost of no of slots used).

    EK seems to be having major issues

    Koolance seems to have cut down on their range and US availability these days compared to 15 years back. CoolIT, Koolance, and Enzotech for all intents and purposes have vanished from consumer space reducing the options available to consumers(even Swiftech seems to have started to vanish in...

    Turtle Beach Dismantles ROCCAT Brand, Carries on Products and Support

    Roccat mice definitely were better made than Logi G crap while not costing arm and a leg. Recently though yes they went too hard into blingy gamer crap while abondening their core line of mice(Tyon never was updated even to support their newer software).

    EK seems to be having major issues

    We already seem to have lost quite a few makers - Danger Den, Koolance(not sure what their status is these days), Enzotech and none of those seem to have had issues similar to what EK is having.

    Samsung Introduces 512GB Capacity BAR Plus and FIT Plus USB Flash Drives

    Given these drives seem to top at around 300MBps for reads and 70MBps for writes, seems like the USB 3 5Gbps is more than enough. If you want faster drives there are drives which can deliver faster read/writes and even ones that can saturate 10Gbps USB 3.1 port...
