MSI is focusing pretty much on Nvidia’s graphics cards, it would seem, and has more or less stopped making AMD GPUs.Or at least the amount of MSI’s Radeon graphics cards on shelves has dwindled considerably, to the point where it’s been noticed by several sources – one of which contacted MSI and got an official…
Intel’s Arrow Lake processors are already on sale, it seems – well, kind of, or at least pre-release samples of the silicon are being sold illegally.As you’re doubtless aware, Arrow Lake is Intel’s next-gen range of desktop chips that won’t be out until much later in 2024 (or indeed 2025), but so-called engineering samples –…
Gigabyte is the latest motherboard maker to respond to the problems around Intel’s Core i9 processors crashing with PC games, but it seems like the company may have overreacted in its efforts to cure these stability issues.The BIOS update Gigabyte has deployed tackles the specter of crashing by dropping certain power limits, the problem being…
MediaTek this week has introduced a new lineup of Dimensity Auto Cockpit system-on-chips, covering the entire market spectrum from entry-level to premium. And while automotive chip announcements are admittedly not normally the most interesting of things, this one is going to be an exception to that rule because of whose graphics IP MediaTek is tapping…

AMD could use much slower video RAM than Nvidia when it comes to next-gen graphics cards, a new rumor contends.This one is from regular leaker Kepler on X (formerly Twitter), who posted a very brief snippet to the effect that with RX 8000 graphics cards, AMD will only use GDDR6 VRAM running at 18Gbps –…
A fake piece of tech has popped up showing that it pays to be very careful about product names – and also that if an SSD looks very much too good to be true, it almost certainly is.This is the case of a product on AliExpress called a ‘1080 Pro SSD’ which you might, at…
Here’s some bad news for those looking at buying a new hard drive – prices are about to rise, by the looks of things.And that holds true even for consumer hard drives, even though this news – which comes via a report from analyst firm TrendForce – relates to large capacity hard drives in the…

Intel CPU owners affected by a recently highlighted problem whereby some PC games are crashing, take note that Asus has offered up a solution for this issue – and hopefully other motherboard makers will follow suit.To recap, this is a bug that affects Intel’s higher-end (Core i9) 14th-gen and 13th-gen processors, and causes some games…
Remember the RTX 4090 cable-melting fiasco? Way back in November 2022, following the launch of Nvidia’s mighty new flagship RTX 4090 graphics card, there were scattered reports of the GPU’s power connector overheating and melting, effectively rendering the $1,599 (£1,519/AU$2,959) component unusable. Now, almost a year and a half later, it looks like the problem…
