All News for July 2023
Sony recently unveiled another PlayStation 5 console that is on the horizon, but it's not a thinner PlayStation 5 Slim model or an upgraded PlayStation 5 Pro variant.

AMD's Zen 4 processors are powerful; the Ryzen 9 7950X set new records in all of our productivity benchmarks when it came out. It "only" has 16 CPU cores, two memory channels, and 24 available PCIe lanes, though. What if you need some real horsepower to crunch through demanding workstation tasks?

Memory overclocking performance has historically been a weak point of AMD's Ryzen processors. This is true even on Socket AM5; where Intel-based DDR5 rigs can hit 7000, 8000, all the way up to the world record of 11,202 MT/s, AMD systems tend to struggle to get much past 6000 MT/s. On the Socket AM4 platform, memory...

Nintendo has been bullish on its Switch console in light of rumors that there could finally be a more powerful Switch 2 or Switch Pro on the horizon.

Call it fortuitous timing or simply a coincidence, but just days after I reluctantly parted ways with my Spider-Man themed PlayStation 4 Pro console (see my unboxing from 2018), Sony has lifted the wraps on its Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition PS5 console bundle, which is an even better looking and obviously...
