Intel Core i9-12900K(F), Core i7-12700K and Core i5-12600K Review – Gaming in really fast and really frugal | Part 1

Intel in fast AND economical? Yes, since the 12th. Generation, i.e. Alder Lake S, this also fits together again. And so today’s text effectively becomes the narrative for a kind of turnaround, for which Intel can really only be congratulated if it is objectively tested and everything is properly classified. Since this was connected with some [...]


Intel Alder Lake Mobility CPU benchmarks leaked: Faster than the Apple M1 Max, AMD’s 5980HX and Intel’s 11980HK are downright eaten up

I have something very interesting for my readers today and I am taking over the article from my friend Usman Pirzada more or less in the original, so I have also put him as the actual author.

The DirectStorage function was promised for Windows 10, but is now only available from version 11. In the [...]


Slight easing on the hardware market? Current broker prices for graphics cards, processors, motherboards, SSDs and hard drives | Exclusive

I recently introduced you to the hardware brokers and published some internal prices of the “grey” market. Because we now also know where the stocks come from, when for example even the official distributors of the graphics card manufacturers wave off and lie dry. Because, as we now know, there is a kind of parallel universe of the [...]
