It's new CPU season, and Qualcomm is beating Intel and AMD out of the gate to be the first at announcing next-gen laptop CPUs. They're called the Snapdragon X2 Elite and Elite Extreme. As always, there are reference designs showcasing the product, and this year, they're absolute bangers.

When you hear VSCode, programming is probably one of the first things that come to mind. That’s a fair enough reputation as developers do seem to live in the app. But I don’t code, and it’s still an app I use almost every day for various projects and tasks.

Qualcomm has just announced its latest compute products with the Snapdragon X2 Elite lineup of processors at the Snapdragon Summit event. But that's not the only exciting news for Windows on Arm fans — Qualcomm has also announced that more important apps are coming to Windows on Arm PCs, including Cinema 4D, ZBrush, and Razer's Synapse software.

Qualcomm has officially unveiled its latest flagship mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and the specifications are nothing short of outrageous for a smartphone. It features Qualcomm's latest Oryon cores, with two cores clocked at an astonishingly high 4.6 GHz. The other six performance cores are clocked at 3.6 GHz, which is still considerably faster than even the highest clocked cores we would have seen in smartphones just a few years ago.

The Snapdragon Summit is currently underway, and our editor-in-chief, Rich Woods, has been soaking up all of the new reveals and mingling with folk at the event. The last time I checked in with him, he was drooling over the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, so it's safe to assume he's having a blast.

If you spend time managing remote servers, coding, or tinkering with different systems, then you already know how vital a reliable SSH client can be on Windows. The right client doesn’t just let you log in securely; it can also make tasks like transferring files, running commands, and juggling multiple sessions far smoother. I have tried several options, and after numerous trials and errors, I have narrowed it down to my five favorite SSH clients that I use for everyday convenience.

Better performance, bigger battery savings. Qualcomm has formally unveiled its latest flagship SoC, destined for Android flagships in the very near future: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The name was revealed by way of a blog post last week, and if it seems like the company skipped forward a generation or two, that’s kind of the point. It features a third-generation Oryon CPU with boosted single- and multi-core performance, as well as a faster Hexagon NPU, with an emphasis on personalized, on-device AI experiences. The updated CPU comprises two prime cores of up to 4.6GHz and six performance cores up to 3.62GHz. Qualcomm claims up to 35 percent better power efficiency from the CPU, contributing to a 16 percent improvement in overall SoC efficiency. The updated Adreno GPU claims an increase of up to 23 percent in overall gaming performance, along with a 20 percent drop in power consumption.The updated Hexagon NPU likewise claims 37 percent faster performance as well as power savings over the previous version. Qualcomm suggests these improvements — along with use of its Snapdragon Sensing Hub — could enable more personalized AI that continues to learn about the user over time. On the camera side of things, the updated ISP supports the APV (Advanced Professional Video) codec. Qualcomm also claims to enable a “computational video pipeline.” Qualcomm’s Alex Katouzian explained at the company’s announcement keynote that this allows for AI enhancements to video on a frame-by-frame level. The ISP also enables context-aware autofocus, auto exposure, and auto white balance.The 8 Elite Gen 5 uses an X85 modem, announced earlier this year, which boasts 50 percent lower gaming latency thanks to “AI-enhanced Wi-Fi.” We’ll start seeing devices with the 8 Elite Gen 5 from all the usual Android suspects soon enough.

Saros, the next game from Returnal developer Housemarque, launches for PS5 on March 20th, 2026, Sony announced during its September State of Play presentation on Wednesday.Based on a gameplay trailer shown during the event, it looks like Saros takes a lot of cues from Returnal, with futuristic weapons, lots of bullets and rings filling the screen, and mysterious environments that you’ll have to navigate. You’ll also get a new shield that lets you run into projectiles that you can absorb as energy and then throw back toward your enemies.Housemarque is also introducing an unlockable “Second Chance” ability that lets you come back to life after you die, which could be useful for what looks to be a very difficult game. There are other new permanent-progression systems added to the game, too.Saros was initially announced earlier this year, and at the time, Sony only provided a 2026 release date. The game will also be enhanced for PS5 Pro.
