    News Aya Neo Crowdfunding Campaign Starts: $789 for an x86 Handheld Game Console

    That's exactly what the GPD Win 3 is using in a similar form factor (1165G7). The GPD definitely has faster graphics, however at 28W, which is needed to get the best performance from the Tiger Lake chip, the battery life isn't great (around an hour). At a more reasonable 15W TDP, the Ryzen and...

    News Aya Neo Crowdfunding Campaign Starts: $789 for an x86 Handheld Game Console

    Just a few notes regarding this news piece. The Aya Neo is certainly not "the industry's first crowdfunded handheld Windows 10-based game console". The original GPD Win was launched back in 2016 as a handheld gaming device, and that ran Windows 10. GPD has also just completed an Indiegogo...

    Review Asus ROG Strix XG17AHPE 240Hz Portable Monitor Review: Expensive Innovation

    I was considering picking one of these up, but unfortunately while everyone will be looking at that high 240Hz refresh rate for gaming, my problem is that it doesn't seem to support a low enough refresh rate. Although ASUS specifically mentions connecting the screen to a camera, which I'd like...

    Review AMD Ryzen 3 3300X and 3100 Review: Low-End Gaming Gets a High-End Boost

    Just a correction for the first page in the Specifications and Pricing section: ...but you'll need to step up a tier to the six core 12-thread Ryzen 5 3600... Great article. I'm surprised how well the 3300X does in particular. It seems like AMDs biggest competition for these CPUs will be from...

    Review AMD's New Binning Strategy on Ryzen 3000: Core-by-Core Turbo Analysis

    Interesting reading this just a few days after the Silicon Lottery binning results. Given that AMD wants to use as much of the silicon they produce as possible, I wonder if we'll see 6 and 8 core processors that utilize two processor chiplets, where only 3 or 4 of the cores are active. I'm...
