    Samsung unveils new 6K glasses-free 3D gaming monitor, world's first 1040Hz display, and more

    As mentioned earlier, the Nintendo 3DS already pulled it off over a decade ago, but that was using a parallax barrier in front of the actual LCD - and with horribly narrow viewing angles until the New 3DS had some measure of head-tracking. No idea how it's done on a much larger display like...

    Bambu Labs Printers

    So the whole closed ecosystem aspect of Bambu printers initially put me off, combined with the fact that they don't have independently-driven Z-axis lead screws like Voron and similar DIY high-end printer designs. Figured they were overpriced. But I got tired of messing with budget printers...

    Consensus on best "cheap" newby 3d printer?

    Very nice entry point there, if you don't mind the lack of multicolor/filament changer support (which I suspect is due to Elegoo cutting costs on RAM on the printer's motherboard). I haven't used one, but I was real tempted. Honestly, it's kinda startling what you start doing once you have a 3D...

    Consensus on best "cheap" newby 3d printer?

    I made the leap from an Ender 3 V2 to a nicely discounted open-box Flashforge AD5X at one of the local Micro Centers - we're talking sub-$300 for a CoreXY printer with ceramic heater hotend, filament changer, load cell-based bed probing, input shaping accelerometer in the toolhead, the works...

    Cherry Intros Stream Desktop Ultimate Keyboard and Mouse With ProScroll Technology

    Cherry's mostly known for their keyboards - more exactly, the MX family of mechanical switches that became a de facto standard for modern mechanical keyboards (since ALPS isn't a prominent keyswitch vendor any more and Topre switches aren't really individual modules) - so seeing them offer a...

    AMD Introduces "New" Ryzen Branding: Ryzen 10 "Zen 2" and Ryzen 100 "Zen 3+" Processors

    New Mendocino CPUs? Who's still running Celeron 300As and overclocking them to 500+ MHz in 2025? Jokes aside, it seems like every big tech company does a bit of product recycling with a new label at least once. AMD's already done it a few times on the GPU end, so has NVIDIA, and we all know...

    Creative Technology Launches Kickstarter Campaign for Sound Blaster Re:Imagine

    You wanna "re:imagine" a Sound Blaster? Try something like the Orpheus II instead and really go whole ham with that Sound Blaster legacy. My main issue with Creative products post-X-Fi is that the whole reason to buy their stuff evaporated when games moved away from hardware accelerated...

    Apple Could Unveil M5-Powered MacBook Pro and Vision Pro This Week

    Funny thing is, Apple did allow Macintosh clones in the '90s, and a few vendors such as Power Computing, Motorola and Daystar took up that offer - but then they bought out NeXT for NeXTSTEP's sake, brought back Steve Jobs in the process, and Jobs quickly put an end to that. A big reason why is...

    Stay Away from 5090 Founders Edition GPU. The Weakest Design Yet.

    I'm frankly glad it's a 2-slot card, because the trend of 3.5/4-slot cards is getting into "the industry needs to standardize on full-cover waterblocks with QD fittings already" territory. That and the FE is the only 5090 suitable for SFF builds, if that's what you're after. Sure, the temps...

    Next Xbox won’t be cheap — Sarah Bond teases a “very premium, high-end next-gen console experience”

    You'd think that being published by Sony nixes a game's chances of ever showing up on Xbox, but Helldivers 2 saw an Xbox release anyway - with Halo ODST-themed equipment, to boot! The announcement trailer even has an Xbox logo immediately followed by a PS Studios logo, it's surreal. With that...

    Has Intel Abandoned the HEDT Market?

    Well aware of that, but I was replying to someone asking about a UDIMM platform. In any case, I can't see the registered performance penalty being that dramatic compared to having all the extra memory channels on the CPU, but only benchmarks will tell.

    Has Intel Abandoned the HEDT Market?

    Given that most enthusiasts buy Z690/Z790 boards for obvious overclocking reasons (and I learned the hard way that one AnandTech article lied, W680 doesn't let you OC the CPU, only RAM) along with generally being cheaper at Micro Center, I don't think anyone's tested four-DIMM speed results on...

    Leaked AMD's dual V-Cache will be the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2

    Funny that you mention daughterboards, because it used to be that storage used to be added with "hard cards" that had both a disk controller and space to mount a 3.5" hard drive. PCIe to M.2 or U.2/U.3 drive adapters would be the modern equivalent, and while many such accessories exist, the...

    Leaked AMD's dual V-Cache will be the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2

    Don't give them ideas, AM5 boards already suck in terms of PCIe lane count and slot layout, presumably because it makes upselling Threadripper that much easier. Gah, how much I'd like to have a V-Cache-on-every-CCD Shimada Peak chip... doesn't even have to have the expected Threadripper core...

    Next Xbox won’t be cheap — Sarah Bond teases a “very premium, high-end next-gen console experience”

    The era of Xbox exclusives ended midway through the Xbox One's lifecycle - barring Rare Replay and maybe some early iterations of Forza Motorsport/Horizon that you can't even buy digitally any more due to license expirations, there is literally zero reason for PC gamers like most of us to buy...
