In tests of mid-range 1080p graphics cards, three different market approaches have collided once again: the performance play, the value play, and the VRAM capacity play. In the latest face-off from ComputerBase, the contenders were the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (16GB), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (8GB), and Intel Arc B580 (12GB). The results didn’t just show a gap in FPS — they also demonstrated how quickly 8GB of VRAM becomes a bottleneck, even at Full HD. -

Intel Explains Why Those “Gimped” E-Cores Aren’t to Blame: 30% of Your CPU’s Power Is Just Sitting Idle
Hardware and Technologies April 23, 2026, 05:56 PM
Many Intel CPU owners have gotten into the habit of blaming low FPS on the power-efficient E-cores, even manually disabling them in the BIOS. But Intel VP Robert Hallock just made a surprising claim: according to Intel’s own internal tests, the gaming performance difference between P-cores and E-cores is only about 1%. The real culprit behind unstable frame rates isn’t the CPU architecture — it’s the inability of operating systems and game engines to properly divvy up the workload. -

PC Upgrades Are Getting More Expensive: CPUs Have Already Gone Up in Price, and It’s Going to Get Worse
Hardware and Technologies April 22, 2026, 06:01 PM
CPU prices have started to rise, and if supplier data is anything to go by, this is just the beginning. Over the past month, the price hikes have affected both regular CPUs for home PCs and server solutions, with the latter seeing noticeably steeper increases. The main reason is a sharp surge in demand from new AI systems, which are increasingly eating up manufacturing capacity that would otherwise go to the consumer market. -
