We've all thought about it: What would we buy if money were no object? Most people have mental lists of extravagant, unnecessary-but-awesome tech they'd snatch up if they ever hit the jackpot.

Atari rose like a legend, bringing arcade games home with the 2600 - then fell just as fast. This is the story of a console that shaped gaming history and nearly took the industry down with it.

Enthusiasts have been pushing the limits of silicon for as long as microprocessors have existed. These are but a few of the landmark processors revered for their overclocking prowess.

MLB is testing robo umps in spring training, letting players challenge ball and strike calls using Hawk-Eye tech. The system could reach regular season games as early as 2026---but not all are sold.

Tired of forgetting passwords and getting locked out of your accounts? Passkeys offer a simpler, safer way to log in---no passwords, no frustration, just a quick scan or tap on your device.

When an algorithmic system generates information that seems plausible but is actually inaccurate or misleading, computer scientists call it an AI hallucination.

Graphics card prices have become detached from reality, making advertised MSRPs almost meaningless. In this article, we examine real-world GPU prices and reveal which offer the best value.

YouTube is now 20, from scrappy startup to $450 billion media giant. Once an afterthought in digital TV debates, it now rivals Netflix, fuels billion-dollar creators, and reshapes entertainment.

Before the iPhone or iPod, Apple's comeback began with the iMac. In 1998, the Bondi Blue desktop revolutionized home PCs, rescued Apple from near bankruptcy, and set the stage for its future success.

The GPU market is a mess: low stock, inflated prices, and allegations of fake MSRPs. Nvidia and AMD's latest GPUs are scarce or overpriced. What's causing this chaos? Let's break it all down.

Thanks to class-leading hardware and optimized software, the Apple iPad lineup has long been the go-to tablet recommendation for most people. Now, let's choose the right model for you.

AMD's FSR 4 aims to close the gap with DLSS, bringing AI-powered upscaling to Radeon GPUs. With 1440p gaming in focus, can FSR 4 match or surpass DLSS? We analyze its image quality and performance.

After 12 months of heavy productivity use, our 4K QD-OLED monitor faces the ultimate burn-in test. With no gaming or content consumption, has it survived, or is it now a burnt-out mess?

The most interesting side of Nvidia's new RTX 50 series is not the GPUs themselves, not even close, it's DLSS 4 upscaling that steals the spotlight with a new AI model and much improved image quality.

Yes, transistors are smaller, CPUs are ever faster, but we're seeing diminishing returns. Learn about 3D integration, FPGAs, chiplets, accelerators and near memory computing.

How the physics of transistors work, how components are built in silicon, and how they are connected to create useful chips? How do you transform a pile of sand into an advanced processor?

It's time to dig inside to understand how the internal CPU components are designed. We'll discuss transistors, logic gates, power and clock delivery, design synthesis, and verification.

We all think of the CPU as the "brains" of a computer, but what does that actually mean? What is going on inside with the billions of transistors to make your computer work?

Nvidia's DLSS 4 Ray Reconstruction tackles the issue of image noise with ray tracing. By improving stability and texture preservation, it minimizes the visual trade-offs and makes ray tracing look far better.

When choosing a motherboard for your Ryzen CPU, you'll find options like X870, B650, A620, and the new B850 and B840. This guide explains the chipset differences and help you pick the right board.

Take a hard look at the specs, and you'll see the RTX 5080 is just an RTX 5070 in disguise. Nvidia's greed may be at play, and we'll prove it by analyzing historical GPU configurations.
