… By Fahd Temsamani Apr 7, 2026, 12:33 BST Share Intel is reportedly using parts of its existing Xe3 graphics architecture to power the GPUs in its next-gen Nova Lake processors. …
… Adding the improved Xe3 cores to the mix would push performance even higher, perhaps rivalling next-gen dedicated mid-range GPUs. …
… Not wanting to stand still, the company showcased next-gen air-based prototypes that, it says, offer meaningful improvements over in-market designs. Likely to debut on next-generation GPUs from Nvidia, at the premium end of the market first, MSI is refining the traditional heatsink in novel ways. …
… You can then enable frame gen and watch the frame rate climb to 144fps. Nvidia’s current GPUs undoubtedly have the upper hand here, with multi-frame gen enabling super-smooth motion and sky-high frame rates, while its costlier GPUs can handle the Overdrive path-tracing mode, too. …
… The result is a big reduction in latency that addresses the shortfall in gaming performance seen in first-gen Arrow Lake CPUs. …
… By Fahd Temsamani Jun 2, 2026, 15:35 BST Share DeepCool has showcased the Assassin V at Computex 2026, its new premium CPU air cooler with a built-in hardware monitoring screen and next-gen vapour chamber. …
… Atomic Heart Next up came Atomic Heart, again all maxed out with no ray tracing, and no upscaling. …
… With outstanding build quality, a massive battery of high-speed USB ports including two 40Gb USB-C sockets , and a pair of PCIe Gen 5 M.2 SSD slots, it’s not only ideal for benching AMD’s AM5 CPUs, but also testing SSDs, peripherals, and more besides. …
… There’s also room to raise this ceiling further down the road, through a Core i7-14700 or Core i9-14900, not forgetting potential additional Raptor Lake Next CPUs arriving in the next year. …
… Do I need PCIe Gen 5? All of AMD and Nvidia’s latest GPUs use the PCIe Gen 5 interface, but that doesn’t mean you need a PCIe Gen 5 motherboard to run them. …
