Forza Horizon 6 Benchmark: 47 GPUs Tested
1080p, 1440p, 4K Tested Forza Horizon 6 is one of the best-looking racing games yet, but max settings and RT can crush modern GPUs. We tested 47 graphics cards to see what it really takes to run well.
Dell Alienware's new $1,300 gaming laptop cuts corners by using cheap plastic and older-gen gaming hardware

AMD keeps gaining on Intel in servers, but desktop PCs tell a different story
What just happened? AMD has hit another x86 CPU milestone, with Mercury Research figures showing the company now holds 38.1% of overall market revenue. That sounds like another win for Team Red, especially given its huge gains in servers, but there is a surprising caveat: AMD actually lost ground in desktop PCs during the first quarter.

Gamers Are Wrong About 1440p vs 1080p CPU Benchmarking
Here We Go Again, or: Why GPU Bottlenecks Hide True CPU Performance.
Gamers keep demanding 1440p CPU benchmarks, but higher resolutions often hide the very performance differences CPU testing is supposed to reveal. Here's why 1080p still matters most.

The Best CPUs: Gaming, Productivity, and the Best Bang for Your Buck
The CPU market looks very different from six months ago. Intel's back in the conversation, AMD's X3D chips still rule gaming, and there's genuine value at every price point.
Steam Survey: AMD's CPU gains stall as Nvidia's final RTX 5000 desktop GPU appears
The Core Ultra 200 Plus effect?
What just happened? The latest Steam survey has dropped. Last month's results show that the final RTX 5000-series desktop card has now entered the main GPU chart, nearly one year after it launched. Elsewhere, Intel's excellent Core Ultra 200 Plus series may have started to influence the CPU results as AMD failed to move the needle in its favor during April.

Flagship Rematch: Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs. Core i9-12900K
Four years on, we revisit the Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Core i9-12900K with modern games and DDR4 vs DDR5 configs. The result: still neck and neck, but memory choice now makes a real difference.
AI infrastructure boom pushes AMD, Intel and Arm to new valuation heights
Nvidia still dominates, but AI demand is lifting the rest of the chip market
Bottom line: Demand for AI infrastructure has been reshaping how investors value chipmakers, and recent results from key suppliers have strengthened the view that compute-intensive workloads will continue to grow. The effect has been evident with CPU vendors as of late. AMD's stock traded at $278 on Thursday, putting its market value at about $454 billion. Intel's rally from early March pushed the stock toward $68 and lifted its market cap to just under $340 billion. Arm's shares, meanwhile, traded close to $165, valuing the company at roughly $174 billion.
