I haven't tested it, but I will be doing some DDR5 memory performance comparisons with different speed DDR5 for an upcoming memory comparison review, and I'll make sure to check out the latency in that testing.

Introduction The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus was launched in March 2026 at $299 MSRP, while the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K was launched in October 2024 at $589 MSRP, but do they perform the same? In what might be a surprising and positive outcome, the newly released 24-core Intel Core Ultra 7 270K...

Impressed with their rollout of patches. But always sad that this couldn't have been done prior to launching the game.

This is actually a good watch, a very balanced analysis on the topic that has occurred with this launch.

Introduction The Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus was launched alongside the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus on March 26th, 2026. Both of these new CPUs are part of the new Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus desktop CPU series “Arrow Lake Refresh” launched for current generation socket LGA1851 motherboards...

Content creation was the area AMD was marketing for these CPUs' benefits. I'd like to come up with some cool tests, not using benchmark suites, but actually doing real transcode or editing in Divinchi, some rendering or photo editing apps, etc... real-world things that people use, in addition...

I think it can also prove as a successful test concept for the technology. It proves that this configuration can be done, and produced, technically, and this could prove useful as a proof and viable functionality for future product designs to launch in this configuration from the start.

AMD did tell everyone there wouldn't be advantages; this had been discussed by them for a while, so the results are not shocking and expected. In this instance, AMD was truthful in its marketing toward it. I can acknowledge the positivity in having it exist as an option, while also stating...

Do these use the new RGB Stripe subpixel layout? I wouldn't even get an OLED today unless it had this new technology, since productivity is important in my workload. I noticed it said 4th Gen OLED, I wasn't sure if that automatically means it uses the new layout or not.

Yeah, I was noticing that. I'm hoping it comes down. But I'm also not surprised.

Introduction The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus was launched on March 26th, 2026, with an MSRP of $299. It is part of the Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus desktop CPU series for socket LGA1851 motherboards, which is the current generation of motherboard support from Intel. Being based on the Intel Core...

Intel is reportedly planning a CPU price increase; I would not be surprised if AMD follows. https://www.techpowerup.com/347984/intel-reportedly-planning-another-cpu-price-increase-in-may-amid-massive-demand

Radeon 8500 - Year 2001, good times

It's funny watching the reaction to this: Before Launch Everyone: I sure wish AMD would release a dual X3D part, 9950X3D should have had cache on both CCDs, Come On We want Cache on BOTH cores. Disappointed it isn't on BOTH cores, Do it AMD, Do It. etc.... Post Announcement Everyone: Meh...

Introduction There is no better time than now to evaluate gaming performance between 16GB of VRAM versus 8GB of VRAM, specifically on the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. In light of the current memory pricing and availability issue plaguing 2026, VRAM capacity and pricing are also affected. NVIDIA has two...

DLSS 5 kinda reminds me of Clippy: "It looks like you are typing a letter. Would you like me to help you?" The AI algorithm is looking and interpreting what the image is trying to do with the materials, and then basically saying, let me re-interpret that and do that for you. The problem is...

I have time-stamped this, click the video. You will notice Grace, the intent is to fullfill an emotion of the character on the screen, by the developer, for the scene in question, considering the storyline. The AI-generated version changes the intent of the character that the developer, well...

My Opinions have shifted based on new information, worth a watch:

More information has been revealed about how it works: It is indeed just taking a 2D frame plus motion vectors and applying Generative AI to it. It does this through the Frame Generation algorithm, hence the need to have Frame Gen enabled. It's utilizing the "fake frames" generation...
