Steel Nomad, 3DMark’s latest GPU benchmark, is the official successor of 3DMark popular Time Spy tool, which debuted eight years ago.PCGamesHardwarebenchmarked Steel Nomad and discovered it’s a worthy successor to Time Spy, making even Nvidia’sRTX 4090struggle a bit. Steel Nomad is explicitly designed to push the limits of the latest GPU hardware. 3DMark says that the newest generation of Nvidia and AMD GPU hardware is so fast that it has reached the limits of whatTime Spyis capable of....

GIFs are a great medium for exchanging animated messages with your friends or loved ones. It lets us convey our emotions and reactions through graphics. However, sometimes GIFs fail to load properly and you won’t be able to send or view GIFs sent by other people. It can arise due to a device software glitch, or you enabled/disabled features like motion and #images. These issues can be easily fixed by simple rebooting or changing the region and language....

Thousands of Asus routers have been compromised due to a newly discovered botnet called ‘AyySSHush.’ The stealth attack was detected in March 2025 by cybersecurity firm GreyNoise, whichreportedlyexploits authentication and makes use of the router features to maintain long-term access. Notably, the backdoor does not make use of any malware, and the unauthorized access cannot be removed using firmware updates. The attack begins with threat actors targeting the routers through brute-force login attempts and exploiting authentication bypass techniques, some of which remain undocumented without assigned CVEs....

EXO Labs has penned a detailed blog post aboutrunning Llama on Windows 98and demonstrated a rather powerful AI large language model (LLM) running on a 26-year-old Windows 98 Pentium II PC in a brief video on social media. The video shows an ancient Elonex Pentium II @ 350 MHz booting into Windows 98, and then EXO then fires up its custom pure C inference engine based on Andrej Karpathy’s Llama2.c and asks the LLM to generate a story about Sleepy Joe....

To pair your AirPods, you need to open the case lid with both AirPods inside the case. Then, you need to hold and press the setup button until it flashes white. After this, with Bluetooth turned on, choose the AirPods name on your device and select it to pair. But sometimes the AirPods can suddenly stop flashing white. It can usually happen when your AirPods run out of battery. For this, you can try charging it....

AMD has officially released the Ryzen 8000 F-series processors, including the Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F. The chipmaker had silently launched the duo ofZen 4 chips in China; however, according to leaked slides from hardware detectivemomomo_us, they’re now available worldwide. The Ryzen 8000 F-series processors leverage AMD’s existing Phoenix APU silicon, which comes directly from TSMC’s 4nm oven. The chips still feature Zen 4 execution cores but lack the integrated RDNA 3 graphics engine that’s present in theRyzen 8000Gcounterparts....

TechPowerUphas discovered that AMD has lifted the memory overclocking limits of its RX 7900 GRE graphics card, enabling gamers and overclockers to push the card’s 16GB of GDDR6 to 3,000 MHz if they are so inclined. The new changes are part of AMD’s new 24.3.1 Radeon Adrenalin GPU drivers, so you will need this new driver (or newer) to take advantage of the RX 7900 GRE’s expanded overclocking range. TheRX 7900 GREis a “newish"RX 7000 seriesgraphics card from AMD....

TheMI300Xis AMD’s latest and greatest AI GPU flagship, designed to compete with theNvidia H100— theupcoming MI325Xwill take on theH200, with MI350 and MI400 gunning for theBlackwell B200.Chips and Cheese testedAMD’s monster GPU in various low-level and AIbenchmarksand found that it often vastly outperforms Nvidia’s H100.However, before we get started, there are some caveats worth mentioning. Chips and Cheese’s article does not mention what level of tuning was done on the various test systems, and software can have a major impact on performance — Nvidia says it doubled the inference performance of the H100 via software updates since launch, for example....

AMD has confirmed that its RDNA 4 architecture will initially be focused on desktop GPUs, with mobile offerings planned for later in a review withNotebookcheck. AtCES, AMD debuted RDNA 4, but with an impending keynote from Nvidia, it remained hesitant to share more details. After a long tussle withpremature adsandexisting retailer inventory, AMD finally slated the Radeon RX 9000 series forlaunchin March. “Our current graphics strategy is focused on the desktop market with RDNA 4....

The $200 price bracket is filled with a lot of competitive GPUs. Arguably, two of the most competitive GPUs in that space right now are theRadeon RX 6600and theArc A750, with the latter sporting Intel’s bevy of driver optimizations from the past two years. These two GPUs have ranked among thebest graphics cardsin times past. For related reading, check ourRTX 3050 vs Arc A750andRTX 3050 vs RX 6600GPU faceoffs; here, we’ll declare once and for all (until the next gen GPUs arrive) which card reigns at the $200 price point....

Uniko’s Hardware brought a peculiar detail of the ASRock Z890 Taichi motherboard’s RAM support to the attention of the wider tech sphere and how it rather uncharacteristically changes between IntelCore Ultra 200S(codenamed Arrow Lake) processors. To be specific, it seems that only Arrow Lake K-series Lake CPUs can support overclocked RAM speeds up to DDR5-9066, while Arrow Lake non-K parts will instead top out at DDR5-7200—quite a downside on such a premium board and for a DDR5 platform in general....

ASML is the world’s undisputed leader in the design and provision of advanced chip-making equipment. The manufacture of the most state-of-the-art semiconductors by industry titans like TSMC,Intel, and Samsung is highly reliant on equipment from this Dutch firm, founded in 1984. However, like many household names in tech, ASML has quite ahumble origin story. In ASML’s case, company lore states that it all began in a “leaky shed.” The current kings of the lithography machine world, ASML (Advanced Semiconductor Materials Lithography), started as a collaboration between Philips, a household name in the electronics business, and Advanced Semiconductor Materials International (ASMI)....

When searching for a high-refresh-rate gaming monitor, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by flashy 360 Hz to 480 Hz IPS and OLED monitors that cost between $500 and $1,000. But for people looking to hold the line on pricing, there’s an enticing deal on anASRock 27-inch Phantom Gaming monitorthat should easily fit into the budget of even the tightest penny pinchers. The monitor has a typical asking price of $189.99, but it’s currently on sale for just $104, making this one of the most affordable 240 Hz gaming monitors we’ve come across....
