Completing the lot unlocks a challenge mode that's properly tough. It's not the kind of match-3 game where a time limit forces you to play frantically—instead there's a turn limit as well as a countdown showing how many moves before your opponent uses an ability that might chip away ...
To test the CPU, it executes complex calculations involving integers and floating-point numbers. For the GPU test, it runs six 3D game simulations. RAM tests measure multi-core bandwidth and latency, while drive tests involve performing numerous read, write, and mixed IO operations. 10. MemTes...
Normally there is one controller included with the motherboard chip set, but there might be a second set of ports to support RAID or other advanced functions. Example: This was taken from this old post. A Samsung 1TB drive (HD103SJ) scored 620 in the PerformanceTest DiskMark. While the ...
The AMD AM4 motherboard platform has been around since before Ryzen appeared, so chances are that if you have an older Ryzen-based PC, it's using AM4. This chip is currently the best bang-for-your-buck you can get for the older platform and it's a great gaming CPU. Read more be...
We also usually have some discussion of the architecture. It’s hard to get a clear view into what the architecture is doing in an isolated scenario, but understanding how a chip works can provide hints into why it behaves the way it does. ...
Since first getting an M-series chip, the Mac mini has been the best mini PC around, and equipped with the latest M4 chipset only makes it even better. This is a device that’s more than capable of everything from productivity tasks to photo and video editing. All on 16GB RAM, amazing...

If you encounter aCompatible TPM is not foundissue, your motherboard either lacks the TPM chip or has it disabled in the BIOS, and you should continue with step 4 to enable it in BIOS. Restart your computer, then go into BIOS by pressing theF(function) orDelkeys on your keyboard, but...
(an industry that began with all computers running on one and the same chip -- the Intel 8088) makes no sense. Continuing with the same old when everyone else either makes super-efficient device chips (ARM) or super-hot running graphics/AI chips (nVidia) makes no sense. Gelsinger took a...
Find out more about how we test. The very latest processors from Intel, the Core Ultra 200S series uses a new naming convention for this most recent generation. With a focus on productivity and AI integration, the Core ultra range currently consists of the 24-core Intel Core 9 285K at ...
