Adobe Creative Cloud (CC): About d'AMD Time!

06/18/2013 - 21:44

Adobe had OpenCL support since last year. You would never benefit from its inclusion unless you ran one of two AMD mobility chips under Mac OSX Lion, but it was there. Creative Cloud, predictably, furthers this trend with additional GPGPU support for...

Second Opinion: Intel i7 4770K Desktop CPU (Haswell)

06/17/2013 - 20:11

Ryan reviewed the Core i7 4770K earlier in the month and found it an impressive product. He was not able to properly test the CPU paired with a discrete GPU because of time restraints; we value results measured from direct monitor output, which takes...

E3 2013: Microsoft can ban your Xbox One library

06/17/2013 - 03:16

Update: Microsoft denies the statements from their support account... but this is still one of the major problems with DRM and closed platforms in general. It is stuff like this that you let them do. [inline:files/news/2013-06-17/xbox-one-head.jpg]...

Intel is not slowing down, exclamation exclamation. Haswell-E for Holiday 2014 question mark.

06/15/2013 - 19:02

In my analysis of the recent Intel Computex keynote, I noted that the displayed confidence came across more as repressing self-doubt. It did not seem, to me, like Intel wants to abandon the high-end enthusiast but rather catch up with their low...

E3 2013: DICE rolls into E3

06/14/2013 - 04:06

How could I resist? I was surprised, the EA keynote -- usually an event which dances past, carefully not leaving anything like "an impression" on its way out -- stuck with me more than any other keynote. Sure, throughout the EA Sports segment I...

E3 2013: Dell Alienware X51 Gaming Desktop Refresh

06/13/2013 - 04:17

The launch of Haswell led to many new product launches, and so did E3. The overlap? The Alienware X51 gaming desktop has been refreshed with some very compelling components at a surprisingly compelling price. [inline:files/news/2013-06-13/dell-alienware-...

E3 2013: AMD tells the press their gaming initiatives

06/13/2013 - 02:26

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is the biggest event of the year for millions of gamers. The majority of coverage ends up gawking over the latest news out of Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo, and we certainly will provide our insights in those places...

WWDC 13: Dissecting Apple's New Hardware Changes. MacBook Air and the new Mac Pro.

06/11/2013 - 04:06

Sometimes our "Perspective" is needed on Apple announcements because some big points just do not get covered by the usual sources. Other times, portions of the story can be relevant to our readers. This is one of those days where both are true...

Computex 2013: The Comedic Return of the Ultra GPUs

06/10/2013 - 02:49

So long to Computex 2013, we barely knew thee. You poured stories all over our news feed for more than a whole week. What say you, another story for the... metaphorical road... between here... and... Taipei? Okay, so the metaphorical road is bumpy and...

E3 2013: Serious Sam 4, Humble Bundle, 4 Serious?

06/07/2013 - 20:21

We still have another 5-or-so days left on the Serious Sam Humble Weekly Sale and so if you were interested in donating a bunch of money for mindless shooters, you still have a chance. Also, you apparently have another reason to do so. Crowdfunding is...
