The first thing that comes to mind when our processors get a little too hot for our liking is to consider a new AIO. In fact, whenever I saw CPU temperatures exceeding 85°C while gaming, I started scouring Amazon or Newegg for better options. Even if a more powerful cooler can lower temperatures, the return on investment is far from convincing. Take this from someone who has splurged on several high-end AIOs like the Aorus 360 and Liquid Freezer II 360 in the past. If this wasn’t the one time I barely noticed a CPU thermal improvement after upgrading my…
The Intel and Apple chip production deal reportedly began with a test of some older chipsets made on Intel’s newer process, launching a testing roadmap extending through 2029.The relationship between Apple and Intel dates back more than 40 years. That appears to have ended with the advent of Apple Silicon, but the political climate may have tipped the scales in Intel’s favor.According to a report from supply chain analyst and leaker Ming-Chi Kuo, Intel has begun the testing process to build Apple chips on its 18A-P process. This is apparently the equivalent process used by TSMC for modern Apple chipsets…
Apple’s most powerful Mac Studio no longer includes RAM upgrade options. This comes after Apple apparently ran out of stock for the machine’s two rumored highest memory options. M3 Ultra Mac Studio only available in 96 GB RAM configuration As Basic Apple Guy points this out todayApple has removed the option to purchase the M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 256 GB of RAM. It was already almost impossible to order. In March, Apple removed the ability to configure the M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 512 GB of memory. This leaves the M3 Ultra Mac Studio with just one memory configuration:…
I’m not one to ice Intel processors when they’ve been mired in controversy and mediocre generational improvements over the past couple of years. Many Raptor Lake processor owners suffered lasting damage to their chips due to a power surge bug, seriously damaging confidence in the company’s products. Then Arrow Lake processors disappointed everyone with poor gaming performance and stability issues. So you’d be forgiven for ignoring Intel’s next-generation Nova Lake processors, but it’s not hyperbole when I say these chips are poised to break new ground for Chipzilla. Nova Lake not only brings a record number of cores, but also…
The creative minds behind Mortal Kombat II knows precisely how to make a gruesome ’90s-style action movie. We get a glimpse of that with the footage of “Uncaged Fury,” a cinematic display of Hollywood playboy Johnny Cage replete with one-liners, glacially slow choreography and ridiculous stunts, all of which would have been at home in an unforgettable Van Damme film. With a nod to schlocky action cinema – which definitely gets it Mortal Combat (1995) – director Simon McQuoid and screenwriter Jeremy Slater also make a statement: they know what not to do. This self-awareness ultimately makes this the best…

Reports are growing about a potential partnership between Apple and Intel to produce future chips, and according to The Wall Street Journalan agreement was officially reached.
