    Google Pixel 3

    Had my Pixel 3 for a bit now. I like one handed, pocketable phones. So, for flagships readily available in the states, my options pretty much seemed to be Pixel 3, iPhone XS, and S9. Just about everything else is too big. I tend to prefer Android and don't upgrade phones super often, so the...

    New Ryzen 2 (Pinnacle Ridge) gets only 200 MHz boost according to a leak

    I feel like realistic expectations were 300Mhz tops, so this shouldn't really surprise anyone.

    Fallout 4 VR only for Vive?

    Because of their legal battles, I suspect they're not going to go out of their way to promote compatibility of the Rift. Regardless, I don't see them actively blocking it, given how the underlying OpenVR structure Valve uses works. Even if something ultra crazy does happen, this is PC gaming...

    The Top 5 Best CPUs of All Time

    Nice list, hard to argue with any of the choices. I think the Q6600 and 980X are definitely honorable mentions, for similar reasons as the 2600k. OC'd they stayed relevant for a long, long time.

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    It honestly didn't make sense for it to be 4c/8t to me, so I'm not surprised. With the i5 being 6c/6t, you'd have way too similar performance between the two.

    AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 Video Card Review @ [H]

    That's a bit of a stretch. Vega is a bit underwhelming, but it's performing at a fairly high level. The 1080 Ti is out of it's reach, but the 1080 is in the same ballpark. The price and the power draw make it unappealing compared to the 1080, but it's not a total stomp. If prices on it slip...

    Z170/Z270 don't support Coffee Lake (ASRock Tweet)

    If they were launching the Z390 right away this wouldn't really bother me. Forcing Z370 down the throats of any early adopters is gross though.

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    I'd guess in the same realm as the current chip in their spot. Intel has been pretty consistent in pricing their chips, so I wouldn't expect anything different. So the 8700k will likely be 350 give or take. I know people seem to think Intel will jack the price or something because it's a 6...

    AMD Threadripper Ad

    The name just sounds cheesy to me. Maybe HertzBlaster will be the next one.

    AMD Threadripper Ad

    Not gonna lie, AMD marketing makes me laugh. And Threadripper is still a terrible name. Regardless, I'm quite curious to see how it does.

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    Personally I'd wait. The 8700k shouldn't be too far off and should be the best of both worlds.

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    If they were launching Z390 at the same time as 8700k, or if Z370 had any new features, I could see requiring a 300 series board. Since neither is true, not supporting at least Z270 would be gross. Of course, it wouldn't surprise me, it is Intel after all. If Z270 is supported, I'd certainly...

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    I'm hoping so. Considering we've been hearing that Z370 is pretty much just a rebrand and the real deal (Z390) won't launch until the rest of the mainstream CPUs do much later down the road, it would be *really* slimy of Intel to require people to basically repurchase their Z270's under a new...

    Intel's 8th Generation Core Family - Coffee Lake (LGA 1151, 6C/12T)

    Seems believable enough.

    Skylake-X (Core i9) - Lineup, Specifications and Reviews!

    Potentially unpopular opinion, but I kinda feel like AMD and Intel are getting ahead of themselves with these 12+ core CPUs. HEDT is already niche, but finding a buyer for a 16 core who isn't already better served by the server platforms seems like it's super duper niche. On top of that, it...
