Alienware’s slim gaming laptops are getting a bold new look
[ad_1] On an even geekier note, Alienware says the m15 and m17 will feature eight-phase voltage regulation for graphics, and six-phase regulation for its CPU. Basically, that means they’ll deliver cleaner power to those components, allowing you to game at top speeds for longer periods. Together with the company’s automatic overclocking technology, which pushes the […]
Intel’s 10th-gen Core CPUs will let you game on ultraportables

[ad_1] All of AMD’s 3rd-gen Ryzen chips will feature its new Zen 2 architecture, a chiplet-based design that’ll offer a 15 percent performance improvement across every application. They’ll also have double the floating point performance and double the cache over its last CPUs. The 3900X features a base/boost speed of 3.68GHz/4.6GHz and 70MB of total […]
AMD’s first Navi GPUs are the Radeon RX 5000-series
[ad_1] Unfortunately, AMD is waiting until E3 to divulge specifics on these next-generation RDNA cards. For now, the company says we can expect 25 percent better performance-per-clock and 50 percent faster performance per watt with the new architecture, compared to its older Graphics Core Next technology. In addition to being the first 7nm consumer video […]
