What appears to be a benchmark score from a PC system packing an Intel Core Ultra 7 165H 16-Core CPU has been spotted online. The fresh result can be found in the Geekbench result browser, and the score is one of the strongest we have seen for the unreleased Meteor Lake (MTL) family of processors.
This isn't the...

Intel's next generation of desktop processors is almost assuredly going to be a refresh of its extant Raptor Lake silicon. We say "almost" because Intel hasn't officially announced anything of the sort, but given all of the leaks up to this point, it is all but a forgone conclusion.
According to those same leaks...

The purported specs of three high-end 1st Gen Intel Core Ultra 'Meteor Lake' processors have been outlined by Chinese tech tipster Golden Pig Upgrade Package (GPUP). In a separate development, someone appears to have been benchmarking unannounced HP laptops that are packing some of the first Intel Core Ultra...

Google is not known for its ability to keep secrets. The search giant's plans leak quite often, and it can't keep a new product under wraps to save its proverbial life it seems. Some of its past smartphones have even ended up for sale online months ahead of their debut. The upcoming Pixel 8 Pro isn't popping up on...

More leaks and rumors are beginning to surface as Apple's official announcement of its new iPhone 15 family of smartphones gets closer. The latest leaks include what is said to be actual images of the upcoming iPhone, as well as what is believed to be high-resolution photos of iPhone 15 Pro cases.
Apple is expected...

When Intel originally introduced the Arc graphics card family to us, it was described as including three tiers of cards, just like the company's Core i- family of CPUs originally did. The Arc 3 were to be entry-level GPUs, the Arc 5 were to be mid-range gaming parts, and the Arc 7 were to be performance-class parts...

As far as current-generation GPUs go, AMD has largely ceded the mid-range part of the market—for this discussion, we're calling $350 to $600 "mid-range"—to competitor NVIDIA, at least for now. We could debate the reasons behind this, but it probably comes down to either an excess of stock for last-generation parts, or...

AMD and Intel have rather similar mobile strategies at this point. Both companies ship two types of laptop CPUs—larger chips, marked "HX", which are based on silicon that is also used for desktop CPUs, and then smaller processors that are specifically intended for mobile usage. These are typically marked H, HS, P, or...

The folks over at at Chinese tech site BenchLife have posted up what they purport to be the key specifications for Intel's upcoming 14th-generation Raptor Lake Refresh processors. There aren't any surprises here, as this is fundamentally the same silicon as seen in the extant Raptor Lake processors. However, we do...

By now, we have a pretty decent idea of what's going to show up on the desktop for Intel's "14th-generation" Core CPUs: a refresh of Raptor Lake, using fundamentally the same cores with slightly higher clocks. It does look like Intel is doing the same thing with core counts that it did with the lower-end 13th-gen...

Whether you think that the spate of melted 12VHPWR connectors was the fault of users (for not plugging it in all the way) or the fault of the connector's design, it's clear that it was a fairly unique situation to that connector. In that case, the connector probably needs revision, as having people fry components due...

The jump from Pixel 6 to Pixel 7 wasn't huge, but Google didn't need to do much. The Pixel 6 was the first of the series that got everything mostly right, and the next version improved upon that. The Pixel 8, however, is shaping up to be a more substantial update. The rumor mill has already provided possible display...

Do you recall, dear reader, all of those rumors that speculated of wild and wonderfully-insane power limits for the GeForce RTX 4090? The released card's already-incredible 450W power limit looks absolutely meager compared to the 600W, 700W, and even 800W of the pre-release rumors. Those rumors weren't entirely...

We're still a few months out from the release of Google's next flagship smartphones, but leaks have pointed to a potentially major upgrade. The Google Pixel 8 might be able to power a desktop computing experience via USB DisplayPort alternate mode. So, you might be able to link a Pixel 8 with a monitor to get a...

Escape From Tarkov is a hardcore first-person looter-shooter set in the fictional world of Tarkov. With semi-regular updates and changes, players are always looking for an edge to give them an advantage in combat, up to and including data mining the game for stats and other information. However, the developers...

It's a foregone conclusion that Google is going to release new Pixel phones later this year. After stumbling more than once with its Pixel phones, Google is finally on a roll. The Pixel 6 was excellent, and the Pixel 7 built on that to become even better. We don't know everything the Pixel 8 will bring, but we do have...

Google is on the verge of releasing its first foldable, but it won't have long in the limelight before Samsung comes roaring back. The company has already announced its next Unpacked event for July 26, but we don't have to wait to get a glimpse of the Galaxy Z Fold 5. A new leak purports to show an official render of...

If you read that headline and thought, "what the heck is a Core Ultra," you haven't been keeping up with your rumors, dear reader. Indeed, Intel seems to be readying a branding shift away from "Core i" and toward "Core Ultra," at least for its Meteor Lake mobile parts.
So this latest leak is for a Core Ultra 7...

Welcome back, friends, to the show that never ends. That's right: it's dubious hardware leak time, and our subjects today are a pair of what appear to be Intel Meteor Lake CPUs that have popped up in the SiSoft SANDRA result database. We say "appear to be" because the processors have, as usual, been marked out with...

Yes, you read that headline correctly, and no, it's not an error. Six-hundred-watt CPUs are on the way, at least according to a leaked slide supposedly from Gigabyte. Put down the albuterol inhaler, though; we're not talking about a 600W CPU in your desktop PC—at least, not unless you regularly run top-end server...

Meteor Lake is the codename for Intel's first "disaggregated" processors made from discrete tiles rather than as monolithic pieces of silicon. They're expected to be fairly low-power and relatively modest in terms of specifications, at least compared to the current power-thirsty Raptor Lake CPUs.
Leaks have shown...

AMD's RDNA 3 architecture is a significant evolution over the RDNA 2 used in its Radeon RX 6000 GPUs. Unfortunately, it's only available in two places right now: the halo-tier Radeon RX 7900 products, and the integrated graphics of Ryzen 7040-series processors.
That's all set to change this quarter, according to...
