Intel Arrow Lake is here but already we're considering what's next for the company's desktop-class CPUs. We're set to see an Arrow Lake Refresh of sorts for 2025, but Nova Lake is on the horizon for the following year and it could be a big deal for Intel. There are some things the company simply must get right for the launch to be successful — and for AMD to start feeling the heat.

They say change is the only constant. Nvidia probably took it to heart when launching the RTX 40 series, as they simultaneously debuted the infamous 12VHPWR connector. Taking a break from the conventional 8-pin PCIe cables, Team Green wanted to herald a new age of GPU connectors and high-performance power delivery, but things didn't exactly go according to plan.

With the arrival of Nvidia's new RTX 50 series, we had to say goodbye to PhysX 32-bit support. This is a pain if you want to play older games that rely on the technology, as your performance will be pretty abysmal. Fortunately, a Redditor has found a solution: install a second GPU that supports PhysX and have it do all of the heavy lifting. Genius.

If you've kept up-to-date with your GPU news, you'll know that The RTX 5090 situation gets even worse as some boards are confirmed to be defective. The issue meant that the boards would have a lower ROP count than what was expected, which harmed performance in turn. Well, it seems that the RTX 5070s are also affected by the issue, but Nvidia says that people shouldn't be too worried about it.

You might think VS (Visual Studio) Code is just for programmers. After all, it looks like a complex tool filled with cryptic code and a developer-focused interface.

Whether you are writing a blog or novel, organizing research, taking detailed notes, or simply managing your thoughts, VS Code’s clean interface, lightning-fast performance, and incredible extensibility make it the ultimate productivity tool.

What makes a game truly timeless? Some games are bound by their era, fading as technology advances — and they were probably not memorable enough on other fronts to really stand the test of time. On the other hand, others remain as captivating today as they were at launch, perhaps even more so. A combination of tight gameplay, unforgettable storytelling, and a strong artistic vision makes some games timeless, and they remain just as engaging and immersive, even decades later.

First created by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s, the Pomodoro Technique is used all around the world to beat procrastination. It suggests that working for 25 minutes, followed by a short 5-minute break, helps the mind stay on task.

Forget about your mouse DPI or how many buttons it has on it; how does it smell? If you ever wish your mouse smelled like an air freshener, then first of all, I really want to know what kind of specs you look for in your hardware. However, most importantly, Asus has finally released the perfect mouse for you.

Tell me if you agree with me on this — not so long ago, we were hopeful for every new PC hardware launch, expecting the next big thing, but today, both consumers and media outlets have given up all hope. Nearly every new CPU or GPU review is summed up in five words — "slightly better, not worth upgrading." When no one really wants to upgrade, manufacturers have stopped caring, and the community is more lukewarm than ever, what's there to look forward to?
