Rocking 16-bit precision, dual-rudder yaw, 5-axis control and a plug-and-play profile for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, the new T.Flight Hotas 5 is a solid entry point to flight sims. It works with PlayStation consoles and PC out of the box, with convenient features like a detachable throttle.
The Z990 PCH for Nova Lake motherboards is apparently 22% smaller than Z890, despite featuring a higher power maximum power draw of up to 14W. The leaked picture of the PCH shows a 11.15 x 6.5mm die and 25 x 24mm package, but we're unsure what motherboard it actually comes from.
Someone on Reddit has stumbled upon former AMD CEO Rory Read's PC that might've been given to him as a parting gift. Read was AMD's CEO between 2011 and 2014. He helped AMD navigate the failure of Bulldozer while securing massive console contracts with Sony and Microsoft, and also began work on the Zen architecture that would eventually revive AMD.
New Mini-LED monitors from MSI and Gigabyte featuring 5K panels with 2,304 dimming zones and glossy coatings have just been announced. These feature dual- and even triple-mode support, along with full-fat DP 2.1 80 Gbps ports and high peak brightness numbers for HDR. They're also color-accurate enough for professional work.
AIB partners for AMD at the Computex 2026 show floor have said they expect next-gen RDNA 5 gaming GPUs to land sometime in the second half of 2027, or maybe even in early 2028. That launch schedule lines up closely with Nvidia's RTX 60 series, which is also expected in late 2027 based on current rumors.
The latest Steam Hardware Survey is out and it's showing positive signs of growth for AMD, while Intel is unfortunately on a decline. The Red Team posted its best-ever CPU market share numbers in May 2026 with 45% of all CPUs on Windows being from AMD, while Intel is down to 55%, which is still more for now.
Even though power supplies and CPU coolers have remained unaffected by the AI boom, storage costs have skyrocketed, which makes this deal even more lucrative. You're getting a blazing-fast 2TB SSD, a genuinely solid power supply, and a decent AIO that can help you stop worrying about the small things and focus on sourcing cheaper memory and GPUs.
Intel's Wildcat Lake refresh that's supposedly debuting next year will shift focus to a more upmarket audience, only refreshing its Core 5 and Core 7 tiers. The new silicon at the top-end would feature 8 cores, up from 6 cores on Wildcat Lake right now, with the 4 P-cores and 4 LP-E cores. The Core 3 parts are claimed to remain unchanged.
For almost a year, the RTX 50 Super series has been part of the rumor mill, but with the AI boom snatching production lines, causing memory prices to skyrocket, hype for the lineup had died down. Now, a potential RTX 5060 Super with 12GB of VRAM is apparently in the works, with the 50 Super series as a whole allegedly getting "back on track."
The European Union's new directives for easily user-replaceable batteries will force Nintendo to update its Switch 2 console with a revised model. The law goes into effect from February 18, 2027, which means an updated Switch 2 that complies with these new regulations needs to come out before that deadline.
Noctua is officially entering the AIO market on June 16 with its new "NL-LC1" liquid cooler that starts at 220 EUR (around $250) for the 240mm variant. It features a customized Asetek Emma V2 pump with a lot of soundproofing, NF-A12x25 G2 or NF-A14x25 G2 fans and SecuFirm2+ mounting.
Intel is still on schedule to at least announce Nova Lake at the end of the year, even if all rumors say the timelines have moved to next year. Apparently, the lowest-end 6-core Nova Lake mobile part targeted at budget markets won't be a part of that launch as the company is prioritizing Wildcat Lake for this segment.
Microsoft and Nvidia are working together to bring popular anti-cheat software to the new RTX Spark chip, allowing support for all major multiplayer games. So far, Fortnite is the only game that runs on Windows-on-Arm devices with a native ARM64 port for Easy Anti-Cheat, but the precedent is about to change.
The N1X reportedly comes in two SKUs: a top-end 20-core option with 6,144 CUDA cores matching the desktop RTX 5070, and a cut-down 18-core option with 5,120 CUDA cores. The standard N1 also has two configs, one with a 12-core CPU and 2,560 CUDA cores and a 10-core model with 2,048 CUDA cores.
Picture this: you're the owner of a dainty place in San Francisco. You put it up on Airbnb, considering the area is sprawling with AI bros, thinking you'd get a pretty good return on your investment. What you actually get in return are scratched kitchens, damaged appliances, bizarre rearrangements, and just straight up missing items.
If you've been looking to upgrade from an older system or just want to build a new one but 2026 prices have stopped you, we've got just the deal. The CPU and GPU are the two most important parts of a PC build, and Newegg is offering a solid 8-core processor paired with a strong 1080p graphics card for just over $400.
Have you ever thought that going from 4K to 1080p on a dual-mode monitor was just too much of compromise for higher refresh rates? Well, worry not, as MSI has just answered your prayers with a 4K 360 Hz QD-OLED monitor that has a 1440p 520 Hz mode and a 1080p 680 Hz mode, all packaged nicely inside a 32" beast.
Cooler Master and G.Skill are launching "MasterDIMM" — a new line of DDR5 memory sticks that comes enveloped in a stylishly-thick black and gold heatsink that features a blower fan. Two RGB stripes run along the top to add even more flare to a product that can't be anything other than overpriced.
