    Gigabyte Unveils its New U4-series of Ultralight Notebooks

    If their customer support regarding their power supply fiasco are an indication of how this company will support this product, I wouldn't buy it.

    Intel Highlights Latest Security Investments at RSA 2020

    Well if your product is plagues with one Hardware bug after another, one failed attempt to fix them after another and your product runs hotter and much less efficiently than the competition, meanwhile the competition is able to make their chips for a fraction of the price it costs you to make...

    VMWare Updates Licensing Model, Setting 32-Core Limit per License

    There are so many virtualizations software out there, this shouldn't be news other than to point out VMware is silly for increasing its price while being in a market where no other vendor does this. Last I checked, the open source options are still free...

    AMD Radeon RX 5500

    Nvidia does have an advantage in the efficiency department, the main culprit seems to be the patents that were sold to Qualcomm back in 2008. In those days AMD didn't think that division was important so they sold it off to keep the company afloat, now that Nvidia uses similar patents to reduce...

    Sapphire Radeon RX 5500 XT Pulse 4 GB

    Its too bad these reviews only look at max performance, that's not what they are designed for. Look at the combination of technologies they have and look where they are going with it. AMD chill, and that new anti lag tech: Designed for smoothness and opportunistic usage to maintain smoothness...

    Intel Core i9-10900K 10-core Processor and Z490 Chipset Arrive April 2020

    I wonder what CPU bugs lay waiting for unsuspecting customers just like Core2Duo, Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake, Coffee Lake, even the latest with Cascade Lake. Maybe we just say all of them! From Skylake forward, Intel knew they were selling faulty CPUs... you might as...

    Intel Hasn't Yet Resolved its Supply Challenges: Top Executive

    Well, they kinda created this "shortage" on their own. Think about it, anyone who runs Intel servers now have to double the number of cores needed, because Intel themselves have recommended to disable Hyper-Threading because of all the CPU bug, last checked over I saw 162 CPU bugs and most can...

    Intel CPUs Since Haswell Vulnerable to "Zombieload v2" Attacks, "Cascade Lake" Included

    Well, do you remember CTS Labs, a security firm from Israel that Intel "allegedly" paid hundreds of thousands if not millions to discover bugs in AMD systems. The only thing they came up with, (other than catchy names for the bugs, ei. RyzenFall) was a few really hard to implement, must have...

    Microsoft Pushes Intel "Haswell" Microcode Update to Harden Against MDS

    Not mention that they released all these products for so many years with so many high security risk bugs... I guess we're supposed to be thankful that Intel is fixing their broken products. Its about time Intel cared about security!

    Intel Scraps 10nm for Desktop, Brazen it Out with 14nm Skylake Till 2022?

    Yeah most of the big server companies have come out and said they are disabling Hyper-Threading on all their Intel servers, Google, Microsoft, Amazon... its the same problem on their desktop CPUs... Don't forget the other ones other than spectre and meltdown: Foreshadow, ZombieLoad, Fallout...
