OcUK Gaming Mach 5R review

With prebuilt machines, or any machine really, you have to make some compromises. This could be going for a slightly more value-friendly GPU to fit your budget, or skipping out on that all-white build because you don’t want to pay so much for colour-appropriate components. The Ryzen 5 7600X3D chip in the OcUK Mach 5R…

Microsoft’s Paint now lets you save projects as layered files in the latest Insider build, as part of its continued efforts to make the default image editor great again

Keep it under your hat, but Microsoft’s Paint app has been experiencing a quiet resurgence over the past few years.

If you’re wondering what those newly announced Intel-Nvidia PC chips might look like, there’s already an Nvidia ‘Superchip’ that could provide the answers

So Intel and Nvidia dropped a CPU-GPU bomb earlier today, announcing a distinctly unexpected plan to collab’ on new computing products based on Intel’s x86 CPUs and Nvidia’s GPUs. Oh, and there’s the minor matter of Nvidia investing $5 billion in Intel. But what will these unholy Intel-Nvidia chips look like? For now, there are…
