AMD Just Made Another Radeon Mistake
AMD has an easy win sitting right in front of it, yet it's choosing not to take it. FSR 4 already works on older Radeon GPUs, so why is AMD still holding it back?

New chips, new designs, and bold prototypes defined PCs at CES 2026
The takeaway: If you've ever been to a CES in Las Vegas, you know how easy it is to get lost – not only amongst the convention halls, hotels, and meeting rooms, but also in the noise of all the announcements made at the event. Breaking through the nearly overwhelming tsunami of show news is no easy task, but with the benefit of a week to reflect on it all, it's clear that the PC category was unquestionably a big and successful part of the news story from the event.
The RTX 5070 Ti is effectively dead, and the GPU market is worse for it
This problem goes beyond a single GPU
A hot potato: The RTX 5070 Ti is end of life, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is almost done as well, and things are looking pretty bleak across the graphics card market. Since returning from CES, we've had a few chats with board manufacturers and retailers to gauge the GPU situation, and here's what we've found out.

Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs move robotics into the physical AI era
Editor's take: As exciting as generative AI may be, there is another AI-powered technology on the near-term horizon that could prove even more impactful: robotics, or as Nvidia's Jensen Huang and others have begun calling it, physical AI. The concept of physical AI is that many of the same algorithmic principles used to create large language models for text-based interactions can be applied to learning and replicating physical movements in the real world.
Antivirus bloatware may be killing your (not so old) Windows PC
Plus, a list of tools to fully uninstall AV software
Facepalm: Security software is supposed to be the good guy. But when it's outdated, bloated, or running in duplicate, it can cripple performance as effectively as the threats it's meant to stop. On a machine that's only a few years old, a bad slowdown might look like a hardware problem, but knowing your software can mean the difference between a system you can patch and one you abandon entirely.
