ASRock has launched a new low power motherboard called the N250M D5, aimed at affordable desktop systems where silence, simplicity, and basic computing matter more than high performance. The board comes with Intel’s Alder Lake N250 processor already installed and uses passive cooling, which means it can run without a CPU fan. This is not a motherboard for gaming PCs or heavy workstation builds.

Dell has introduced a new XPS 13 that puts value back at the center of its premium laptop lineup. The new 13.4 inch machine starts at $599 for eligible students, making it a direct rival to Apple’s MacBook Neo while offering several features Apple left out, including a touchscreen, backlit keyboard, Wi Fi 7, and a brighter display. The XPS 13 is designed for

Qualcomm says it is not worried about Nvidia entering the Windows on Arm PC market with RTX Spark. Instead, the company is publicly welcoming the competition, with Qualcomm senior vice president of computing Kedar Kondap saying Nvidia’s arrival is a positive sign that the non x86 PC ecosystem is growing. The comment matters because RTX Spark is not a small experiment. Nvidia is positioning

MSI is moving quickly to adopt Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform, introducing both a compact developer focused mini PC and a premium 16 inch flip laptop built around the Arm and Blackwell based chip. The new devices show how RTX Spark is starting to move beyond concept demos and into real machines aimed at AI work, creative workflows, and high performance computing. RTX Spark

Nvidia’s RTX Spark platform is drawing attention not only because of its Blackwell GPU power, but also because of how its CPU appears to be built. The new Windows on Arm chip was developed with MediaTek, and a closer look suggests Nvidia’s 20 core Grace CPU uses ideas already seen in MediaTek’s Dimensity mobile processors. RTX Spark is one of Nvidia’s biggest PC moves

MSI has shown new cooling and power protection technologies that it plans to use on future Nvidia RTX graphics cards. The company is not launching a new gaming GPU yet, but it is using Computex 2026 to preview how its next generation cards may handle higher heat, power delivery, and safety demands. The changes focus on three main areas: cooling, 16 pin power safety,

Intel’s EMIB T packaging technology is reportedly gaining more traction in Google’s next generation AI chip supply chain, as pressure on TSMC’s CoWoS capacity continues to reshape how major companies package advanced processors. The latest supply chain reports suggest that Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor and AP Memory Technology may now be connected to the effort around Google’s future TPU chips. The report is important because

Gigabyte has launched its new AI TOP desktop ecosystem at Computex 2026, giving developers, creators, and AI researchers a set of ready made workstation options for running large language models locally. The lineup includes three prebuilt systems built around high end AMD, Intel, and Threadripper platforms, with GPUs such as the Radeon AI PRO R9700 and GeForce RTX 5090. The main idea is simple.

Gigabyte has introduced a new lineup of gaming and creator laptops at Computex 2026, led by high end AORUS and AERO models with RTX 50 series graphics and a new built in AI assistant called GiMATE. The company is joining the growing list of PC makers that are adding AI control tools directly into their laptops, not only for chat style help, but also

Gigabyte has introduced a new AORUS Elite monitor lineup at Computex 2026, led by a 27 inch 5K Mini LED gaming display and three new WOLED models built for high end gaming setups. The lineup focuses on sharper resolution, faster refresh rates, strong HDR performance, and flexible display modes for both immersive and competitive play. The most interesting model is the AORUS Elite FM275K16P,

MediaTek says its next generation program will use only Intel’s EMIB T packaging technology, a move that gives Intel a meaningful win as it tries to rebuild its position in advanced chip manufacturing. The statement was made during Goldman Sachs Taiwan Day, where MediaTek said tape out is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, with mass production planned for the fourth quarter of

Asus has refreshed its TUF Gaming 16 laptop for 2026, but the upgrade is not as modern as some buyers may expect. Instead of moving the gaming laptop to Intel’s latest Core Ultra Series 2 or Series 3 processors, Asus is sticking with an older Raptor Lake HX chip and pairing it with Nvidia’s newer GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU. The new TUF Gaming

Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3060 12GB is returning to shelves in China, even though the card first launched five years ago. The comeback is starting with Colorful’s Battle Ax GeForce RTX 3060 DUO 12GB V2, which is now appearing in limited batches at around 2,199 yuan, or roughly $325. The return says a lot about the current GPU market. Newer cards are available, but shortages

AMD’s Radeon RX 9060 XT has reached another extreme overclocking milestone, with overclocker Bill “Sampson” Alverson pushing an engineering sample of the GPU to 4,643MHz. The result is reportedly the second highest GPU frequency ever recorded, sitting just behind the current world record of 4.769GHz achieved earlier with the same GPU family. The result is impressive because very few discrete GPUs have crossed the

Memory makers may gain even more pricing power in 2027 as demand for AI hardware keeps pressure on HBM, DRAM, and other high value memory products. New TrendForce estimates suggest that some DDR5 RDIMM modules have become more profitable per wafer than HBM, giving suppliers a stronger position as they negotiate future AI memory contracts. That matters because HBM has become one of the

AMD is giving one of its most loved gaming CPUs another moment in the spotlight. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is being re released as a 10th Anniversary Edition, not because the chip itself is new, but because the AM4 platform has now reached a major milestone. The processor arrives on June 25 for $349, giving longtime AM4 owners another chance to upgrade without rebuilding

Nvidia is trying to reshape the future of Windows laptops with RTX Spark, a new Arm based PC platform built for local AI, creative work, and gaming. The company introduced the platform at Computex 2026, where major PC makers including Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, and Microsoft showed support for upcoming RTX Spark devices. The key idea is simple: Nvidia wants more AI work

Corsair has introduced a new Shugo DDR5 memory kit for PC builders who want their RAM to look as special as the rest of their build.
