Intel's 12th Generation Alder Lake processors have already gained plenty of plaudits. Unfortunately, however, Intel giveth, and it taketh away. While some public has shed tears about disabled AVX-512 extensions, perhaps a more significant segment of PC users will be perturbed by the deprecation of the Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX).

Intel's Alder Lake is the first mainstream platform with DDR5 memory support, but getting the appropriate memory modules is extremely hard due to an undersupply in some of the components, namely power management ICs (PMICs) and voltage regulating modules (VRMs).

After a long hiatus in the overclocking world, AMD's FX processors are back to breaking world records in 2021--just not with a Ryzen chip.

Intel’s Alder Lake-S desktop processors launched earlier this month to great fanfare. Intel was able to retake the gaming crown from AMD with two of the best CPUs for gaming -- the Core i9-12900K and Core i5-12600K -- while ushering in support for DDR5 memory and the PCIe 5.0 interface.

Valve held its Steam Deck Development Live Stream today where it revealed the inner workings of the Steam Deck. The company also shared more information on the custom SoC that AMD has cooked up to power the handheld gaming PC.

G.Skill today announced the The Ripjaws S5 Series Low-Profile Performance series, extending its DDR5 portfolio with a new low profile DRAM kit.

One of Intel's employees can be seen holding two Alder Lake chips, showing both the front and the rear of the large CPU, which is designed to be housed in a new, larger LGA 1700 socket.
