It wasn't really all that long ago that the concept of a high-end laptop sporting an AMD CPU was a laughable proposition.

Life is a balance of priorities, like paying your mortgage or rent and buying food before racing out of the dealership with a new sports car. So it goes in game development as well. We bring this up because developer Naughty Dog suggested that The Last of Us Part I will eventually land on Valve's Steam Deck, but not...

It's fair to say the The Last of Part I on PC is disappointing a lot of games. One only need look at the 'Most Negative' rating on Steam out of more than 9,000 user reviews. What's been deemed by many as a shoddy port has left PC gamers frustrated with a litany of issues, including long shader compile times, game...

After a short delay from its original launch target (around three and a half weeks), the much-anticipated PC port for The Last of Us Part I released to PC this week, but it's unfortunately not living up to expectations. After just a day on Steam, it's racked up a "Mostly Negative" impression out of more than 6,400...

When the GeForce RTX 3060 launched with 12GB of video RAM, it was a careful choice made by NVIDIA. Because of that chip's 192-bit memory bus, NVIDIA had the option to launch with either 6GB or 12GB of memory. That led to the awkward situation where the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3070, RTX 3070 Ti, and even the RTX 3080...

Mini PC specialist, Minisforum, has released its newest Neptune series computer. The new Minisforum HX99G has a lot in common with the HX90G we reviewed last November, as you might guess from the single digit model name increment. However, theres more to it than a Ryzen 9 6900HX upgrade. It also offers faster DDR5...

Here's something most HotHardware readers probably know: the same GPU core is used for many different models of graphics card. Case in point: the GA102 processor is used for every GeForce RTX 3000-series model from the RTX 3080 on up the stack. However, what you may not know is that it can go the other way: sometimes...

Little PCs like Intel's Raptor Canyon NUC 13 Extreme are absolutely awesome, but you aren't going to be fitting a GeForce RTX 4080 in one of those things. You might get away with a Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but it'll still be a snug fitand that a pretty good-sized chassis, as small-form-factor machines go. If you want to...

Back in August, we reported on a leak from Skyjuice over at Angstronomics that gave different values from earlier leaks for some of the specifications in AMD's RDNA 3-based Radeon RX 7000 family. While the Navi 33 specifications were essentially similar, Skyjuice predicted lower-than-expected core counts for Navi 32...

While we tend to think of the computer industry as centered on Taiwan, the companies that do most of the R&D are all based in the US, including AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, IBM, Qualcomm, and others. China would like to have its own home-grown processors, so it's been dumping a lot of money into companies that claim to make...

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild originally released over five and a half years ago for Nintendo's Wii U console, a system which was arguably under-powered when it came out five years before that in 2012. It's one of the most beloved games of all time, so naturally, PC gamers are doing what PC gamers are wont...

Regular readers or general enthusiasts may recall our story from Tuesday, when we told you about a collection of reports that pegged AMD's upcoming RDNA 3-based Radeons as coming in two forms: the Radeon RX 7900 XT with 20GB of video RAM, and the flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX, with 24 GB. Now another leaker is...
