After four years, Intel finally has a new processor design. And it’s something the company doesn’t have to be ashamed of. Ice Lake — officially Intel’s 10th-generation Core processor — clocks in at roughly 18% faster than its predecessor, Intel said. The processor’s graphics speed is 50% to 80% faster, and dedicated circuitry will boost …

The teeth in the thick-walled glass box look like they’re embedded, a 3D model in a cube. Walk closer, and you can see that this box is a display, and it’s all pixels. The Looking Glass Pro feels like a magic box. But the box is actually a PC, and the whole system is meant to look at objects that …

Thanks to Nvidia’s Max-Q design graphics cards, gaming laptops have become much thinner and lighter in recent years. But “thin and light” is the opposite of how you’d describe MSI’s latest beast. Unveiled at Computex 2019 in Taipei, Taiwan, the MSI GT76 Titan sacrifices portability for power. It’s a 17.3-inch laptop that can be configured with an Intel Core i9-9900K …

Huawei isn’t just in trouble. China’s premiere maker of Android phones and networking equipment is in the kind of trouble that could break its business and detonate its ambitions of surpassing Samsung to become the world’s largest phone brand by 2020.

The next time — or the first time — you go shopping for a laptop with at least an Intel Core i7 H-class processor, 16GB or more RAM, 512GB or larger SSD and an Nvidia RTX GPU, it may bear an “RTX Studio” sticker as part of a new program Nvidia announced at Computex 2019. But that high-powered laptop, such …

It seems 2019 is turning into the year of the dual screen. But while companies like HP with its Omen X 2S are just coming around, Asus has already marched on to its second generation. Its new flagship ZenBook Pro Duo pairs a 15-inch 4K OLED display with a second full-width IPS touch screen above the keyboard, which Asus dubs “ScreenPad …

The centerpiece of Asus‘ 2019 Computex press conference on Monday was the ZenBook Pro Duo, a high-end laptop that sports two 4K displays. But that doesn’t mean its less expensive laptops didn’t get some love, too. Asus’ ScreenPad is a phone-sized screen that doubles as a trackpad. First introduced in last year’s ZenBook Pro 15, it’s been improved (it’s now …

Nvidia’s early Computex announcement of its Turing-architecture mobile Quadro GPUs, headlined by the RTX 5000, may not have its typical accompanying flurry of partner system launches. But given that these promise to be pricey systems for a niche set of creators, well, “flurry” is relative. Among the the first 17 snowflakes to fall with Nvidia’s new RTX Studio badging are …

AMD turned 50 this year, and it’s celebrating the old-fashioned way: By drastically improving its processor architecture. At Computex 2019, the chipmaker announced a slew of new processor units, both central and graphics, running its new 7nm architecture. On the CPU side is the Zen 2 range, while the GPUs fall under the new Navi umbrella. The “one last thing” …
