PC sales have crashed because manufacturers offer too little innovation at too much cost. Today's sub-$700 laptop is nearly identical to one from 2012.

The lesson is this: we shouldn’t be focusing on hardware anymore. Perhaps instead we need to focus on what happens when hardware and software come together.

After first being teased at E3 2015, AMD has finally made its dual Fury GPU official. Dubbed the Radeon Pro Duo, the card combines two of AMD's top tier Fiji GPUs (as used in the Fury X and Fury Nano) onto a single card, resulting in a claimed 16 teraflops of compute performance. The price for such power? A mere $1499 (UK pricing TBC, but probably around £1200). The Radeon Pro Duo goes on sale in "early" Q2 2016.

Earlier this week, we reported on version 364.47 of Nvidia’s ‘Game Ready’ GeForce driver that quickly added support for Vulkan as well as some freshly instated optimizations for new and upcoming games such as Tom Clancy’s The Division and Need for Speed. Unfortunately, it appears the graphics company may have released the driver prematurely, as a number of users are reporting various technical issues on its official feedback thread.

Microsoft has long been the bastion of long term support for older platforms, so today’s support news out of Redmond is particularly surprising. Intel launched its 6th generation Skylake cores back in August, and support on Windows 7 has been not as strong as Windows 10 right out of the gate. It’s not terribly strange that new features like Intel’s Speed Shift will not be coming to Windows 7, but today Microsoft announced that going forward, new processors will only be supported on Windows...

Nvidia is kicking off CES 2016 with its traditional first keynote. CEO Jen-Hsun Huang wasted no time getting to the "punchline," a new computer for cars he's calling the Drive PX2, the follow-up...

2015 was the beginning of the end for SSDs in the data center. Why? Because researchers have delved deep into their actual behavior and found multiple problems. Here's what you need to know. Despite their wide use, SSDs are a young technology, one we're still learning about. Here's a roundup of the best research on SSDs in 2015.

Samsung has launched the world’s largest hard drive, a staggering 2.5-inch 16 terabyte flash drive that’s almost 60% bigger than the largest drives currently on the market. Aimed at enterprise consumers, the drive's price has not been disclosed yet. According to Deutsch site Golem.de, Samsung displayed a server containing 48 of the new drives, dubbed the PM1633a, at a California trade show. Samsung representatives apparently referred...

There is a popular belief that Moore’s law is coming to an end. The doubling of transistors on a chip every two years, for the same cost, has continued apace since Gordon Moore, one of Intel’s founders, noted it back in 1965. At the time, a few hundred transistors could be crammed onto a sliver of silicon. Today’s powerful chips contain billions.

With the forthcoming Linux 4.3 kernel is a big rework to the open-source NVIDIA (Nouveau) driver. Here are our first tests of NVIDIA GeForce hardware under Linux 4.2 stable and then the Linux 4.3 Git code with this reworked driver.

The sixth generation of Intel’s Core processors, known more approachably as Skylake, will start invading new laptops and desktops over the following weeks and months. With them, they’ll bring a few enhancements you should know about—especially if your current rig is starting to show some rust. Before we get started, though, it’s probably healthy to manage some expectations. Better processors will always be welcome, but chips aren’t...

Today at IFA ASUS is announcing some of its fall laptop lineup. As with the other vendors, they have been waiting on Windows 10 which launched at the end of July, and Intel’s Skylake processors which launched just a few hours ago. The combination of new operating system and new processor is likely going to mean there are a lot of new products coming out in the next while.

£530 ($649) Nano sports full 4096 stream processors, 4GB HBM, but needs just 175W.

I was working in a mobile tech store when microUSB began its slow dominance of the mobile ecosystem. Everyone I worked with at the time glared at the massive wall of barrel connectors, weird plastic plugs with copper bits on the sides, and those huge 20-pin plugs with equal degrees of hatred. MicroUSB changed all of that, and eventually made it possible for almost every phone and tablet to use the same connector over the last couple of years.

Smarter power management, smaller packages, and bigger buffers.

"Namaste!" That was how ASUS Chairman Jonney Shih greeted some 2,000 fans at his "ZenFestival" event in New Delhi last week. And yes, he yelled on stage, just as he always does, with a generous helping of buzzwords and "thank yous." And there have been other memorable moments.

Purism's sleek hardware and declared love for free and open components has won over the Linux world, but reality and the dream may not match.

But support for DDR4, M.2, and a faster GPU make up for lacklustre CPU performance.

Take a look back at how Intel CPUs have progressed over the years. We're testing and comparing the original Core 2 Duo CPUs against the Nehalem-based Core i5-760 and Core i7-870, the Sandy Bridge Core i5-2500K and Core i7-2700K chips, and then to the current generation Haswell Celeron, Pentium, Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 parts. Then and Now: Almost 10 Years of Intel CPUs Compared.
