All News for November 2023
Kids today have no concept of stuffing a pocket full of quarters and heading to the local arcade. Sure, there are outfits like Dave & Busters, but they're fewer and far between than the heyday of arcade gaming (plus it's not the same experience loading up and tapping a card). While those days may be gone forever, you...

European astronomers using data gleaned from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found an exoplanet that not only has water vapor and sulfur dioxide in its atmosphere, but also silicate clouds that eventually falls as sand rain. Not so great if you left your car parked outside.

Cooler PCIe 5.0 SSDs might finally be on the horizon with Silicon Motion's new SM2508 SSD controller. With a maximum TDP of 3.5 watts, SSDs build on this new controller should run considerably cooler than Phison's PS5026-E26 controller rated for 5 watts, and running at 1.5 watts lower power draw could make a really...

With its "Alder Lake" 12th-generation Core CPUs, Intel introduced the concept of the "P-series" processors. These 28W chips sit between the ultra-low-voltage "U" CPUs and the full-power mobile "H" units. Naturally, we'd expect its upcoming Meteor Lake CPUs to continue with this sort of segmentation, but it looks like...

The mechanical hard disk drive (HDD) isn't dead even as solid state drives (SSDs) steal the limelight. That's because pricing for bulk storage still favors HDDs.
