Feature: Oh my God, it's full of transistors...
If it was a car it would be a gold-wrapped, kleptocrat-owned Bugatti Veyron ostentatiously double parked outside a Knightsbridge hotel. It's still bloated, it's still overly complex and you still can't afford it. But it's a graphics chip and a harbinger of things you might actually be able to buy. I give you Nvidia's new Pascal GP100, a 15.3 billion transistor beast and the beginnings…
Feature: Still only four cores...
Intel has finally, belatedly, possibly even reluctantly wheeled out its latest 14nm Broadwell CPU architecture in desktop processor trim (we've seen it before as a mobile chip). And it's all a bit baffling. The new chips are not really direct replacements for Intel's existing Core i5 and Core i7 gaming favourites. They're not really faster, except when they occasionally are. And they set new standards…
Feature: Tech Of The Week
Oh, you silly GPUs. Remember the days when by your names should we know ye? No longer. Increasingly, both AMD and Nvidia appear to be engaged in a game of one-upmanship when it comes to baffling branding. Enter, therefore, the new AMD Radeon R9 285. The nomenclature suggests it should sit above the existing R9 280, but in fact it's cheaper, less complex and most…
Feature: A desktop PC? What on earth is that?
Spool up the apathy drive and buckle in for yet another family of unexciting new CPUs from Intel. The 14nm Broadwell generation is nearly upon us and Intel has begun the slow drip feed of info about a CPU hardly anyone will notice or care about in desktop PCs. It'll be a while yet before we get full speeds and feeds. But we already know…
