Last summer, AMD followed-up on its third-gen Ryzen Threadripper releases with new “PRO” variants, catering to those who want a Threadripper platform that shares features with EPYC.

As expected, AMD had quite a bit to talk about at this year’s CES, although not all of it was strictly consumer focused. The company spent a lot of its keynote talking to partners about how AMD’s products are used in their workflows, and what they’re capable of. To our surprise, both…..

This past fall, NVIDIA announced the latest top-end SKU for its workstation lineup: NVIDIA RTX A6000. Because NVIDIA’s been changing how some of its brand names are used, this card doesn’t carry the Quadro name, despite following in the same footsteps of previous-gen Quadros.

The year has only just begun, but that hasn’t slowed Qualcomm down any. The company today unveils its budget 5G-capable SoC, dubbed Snapdragon 480 5G.

With as much hype as Cyberpunk 2077 received leading up to its launch, it was inevitable that the game would endure relentless complaining around the web about everything minor.
