PS5 Pro makes the PC more relevant than ever

THE PS5 PRO has arrived. It's far, far more powerful than the plain old PS5, but it's also a lot more expensive at $700. Does the PS5 Pro make gaming PCs look like good value again? Or are GPU prices still so high, you'd have to be very serious about PC gaming to overlook Sony's latest console?

US wants Nvidia & Apple to use Intel's foundries

THE US GOVERNMENT has been busy over the past year or two handing out large subsidies and grants to help boost local silicon manufacturing efforts. Intel was once the undisputed leader in the race for ever smaller and faster fabrication nodes, but after major stumbles in the transition from 14nm-class to 10nm-class technologies, TSMC passed it by.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?

WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?

Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation

EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
