Due to a recent attack on the TPM security module found in many well-known Ryzen processors, AMD has advised its users to upgrade their PCs as soon as possible and has released a new firmware update. As observed by VideoCardz over the weekend, AMD’s security notice alludes to a finding by the Vulnerability Response Team of the Trusted Computing Group. It basically states that a Trusted Platform Module, which protects your computer’s cryptographic keys and other operations, can receive commands…

The CPU socket that simply won’t die is AM4. AMD continues to release new processors for the long-lasting system, offering upgrade choices for consumers back to the Ryzen 1000 series, almost ten years after it originally appeared in motherboards. However, the most recent chip, which is part of the gaming-focused X3D family, may be difficult to locate. The six-core Ryzen 3 chip, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D, has recently appeared on AMD’s marketing website. At least at debut, the listing states…

One of our favorite tablets is the M3 iPad Air, and with the release of iPadOS 26 this fall, it will get even better. Additionally, Amazon is currently offering the M3 iPad Air for an all-time low price of $499, which is $100 less than the previous lowest price we’ve seen. Built on an 11-inch Liquid Retina screen with incredibly thin bezels, the tablet has a stunning, incredibly light design that will work well with iPadOS 26’s new multitasking capabilities.…

You might want to increase your PC’s memory as soon as possible if it’s an older model. As the main memory vendors gradually stop producing DDR4 DRAM in favor of DDR5 DRAM, prices for DDR4 memory are predicted to rise significantly. The latter is the reason for alarm. Customers have reportedly received end-of-life notices from Samsung and SK Hynix regarding the depletion of DDR4 memory for PCs. Digitimes, via Tom’s Hardware, reports that Micron, the final holdout, has now followed…

There aren’t many gaming laptops with enormous 18-inch screens. The Ultima 18, Maingear’s first 18-inch model, has four M.2 SSD options, up to 192GB of DDR5 memory, and, of course, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 mobile GPU. Although the Intel “Arrow Lake” Core Ultra 9 275HX is only 100 MHz slower than the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX that was introduced at CES 2025, it still has an advantage over the MSI Crosshair 18 HZ AI that was introduced at…

The architecture that links graphics cards and SSDs, PCI Express 5.0, has become synonymous with high-end PCs in recent years. With the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) reaching a significant milestone this year to provide the higher-bandwidth PCI Express 6 to PCs, that is almost about to change. The majority of today’s PCI SIG news is theoretical in nature; the SIG is establishing the foundation for PCIe 8.0 and has publicly announced PCIe 7.0, which is anticipated to be released…

Nvidia dominates the desktop graphics card market, despite gamers’ complaints about declining value and growing costs. As of the first quarter of 2025, a research organization claims that Big Green holds over 90% of the market following a sharp decline from rival AMD. By many measures, Nvidia is already on the verge of becoming the desktop GPU monopoly, or has already done so. Nvidia holds 92 percent of the desktop graphics market share for the quarter that ended in March,…

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…
