In the context of the company’s future plan, Intel documentation has disclosed new code names: Bartlett Lake, Wildcat Lake, and a 12-core version of the Bartlett Lake processor composed exclusively of performance cores. It’s interesting to note that the source—a guide on using Intel’s platforms for real-time computing—is openly accessible. Following a Twitter observation by InstLatX64 (via Videocardz), the latest “gold deck” presentation was removed. Although it lacks the roadmap information that the most current version had, Intel’s March 2025…

According to The Verge, Nvidia is about to introduce its first Arm-based APU for laptops, which will be done in collaboration with Dell-owned Alienware sometime in late 2025 or early 2026. A central processor with additional functionality, such as an integrated graphics processor, is called an APU (accelerated processing unit). The transmission speed between the central processor and graphics processor is increased, and power consumption is decreased when they are integrated into the same circuit. According to reports, the new…

Your monitor is one item you should absolutely spend a lot of money on when you’re upgrading your computer setup. One of the greatest upgrades is an OLED display, but if you don’t get them during a sale, they can be expensive. Thankfully, here’s a great one for you: Amazon currently has LG’s 34-inch ultrawide OLED for $750. That is significantly less than its previous all-time low and a stunning $550 off its original price. With its sharp and clear…

It can be a terrifying experience to shell out almost $1,000 for the newest and most potent CPU, particularly if you’ve heard that it has some problems with purportedly compatible motherboards. This appears to be the case with AMD Ryzen 9000 chips and ASRock AM5 motherboards, which have been experiencing an unusually high number of problems. The good news is that ASRock claims that the most recent BIOS fixes those problems. Granted, ASRock doesn’t appear to be very eager to…

Microsoft abruptly eliminated the Windows key + C keyboard shortcut for starting the Copilot AI helper in Windows 11 back in June 2024. Instead, a dedicated Copilot key was added to more recent keyboards. A keyboard shortcut for Copilot voice chat and a verbal launch trigger that said “Hey Copilot” were added later. The Windows key + C keyboard shortcut has been restored as of update KB5058502, the optional May patch that was made available yesterday for Windows 11 23H2.…

DisplayPort and HDMI have historically been the two connector types found on PC graphics cards. They might be introducing Thunderbolt as a third now. During Computex this year, Sparkle unveiled “Project Thundermage,” a prototype OPC graphics card that included two Thunderbolt connectors, DisplayPort, and HDMI. The partner, Intel, was the tell, though, as their “Barlow Ridge” Thunderbolt 5 controller was partnered with their “Battlemage” Arc GPUs. The most recent DisplayPort or HDMI connectors, which both provide the bandwidth required for…

Biwin unveiled the Black Opal X570 Pro, a brand-new PCIe 5.0 SSD that nearly fully utilizes the PCIe 5.0 interface and achieves sequential read rates of up to 14,000 MB/s, at Computex 2025. The M.2 2280 SSD has a capacity of 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB and is connected via four PCIe 5.0 channels. The Silicon Motions SM2508 SSD controller, which Biwin supplies with a DRAM cache to buffer write access, is included with the Pro model. For every 1 TB…

The company’s gaming-specific accessory line, Logitech G, is ready for a new addition. As part of its award-winning G5 series, Logitech is introducing the new G522 gaming headset today, which is an improvement on the well-liked G733 headset. With Pro G drivers installed, the Logitech G522 can produce crystal-clear, detailed audio at 48 kHz and 24 bits. Blue Voice and 48kHz 16-bit audio recording are supported by the built-in microphone, and the audio can be filtered using various settings. With…

Although OLED gaming monitors are great—I’m writing this on one right now—they aren’t flawless. In addition to being more expensive, they are still not quite as quick as gaming LCDs and have less brightness than previous, less colorful panels. Samsung’s most recent OLED monitor will help close that gap, but it will cost money. Then make further payments. I’m saying that it’s costly. The 27-inch, 1440p display of the new Odyssey G60F is perhaps the industry standard for PC gaming…

It looks like new AMD graphics cards are on the horizon. The RX 9060 XT has been the subject of rumors for weeks, and a few days ago, a listing appeared on a Brazilian retail website. However, it appears that the big A itself is giving away the information this morning: Amazon lists two separate 9060 XT cards, with the less expensive one costing “just” USD 450. On the American version of the website, VideoCardz noticed two XFX models relaxing…
