That happened, however, just last month, as users were hit with the nostalgic tones of the Windows Vista start-up instead of…
At the start of 2025, during the annual CES event, AMD launched the successors to its popular Ryzen Z1 and Z1 Extreme APUs. These all-in-one CPU+GPU chips have been powering the very best handheld gaming PCs since they first appeared, so we’ve been keen to see just how much better the new Z2 models are….
Battlefield Studios—which includes DICE, Criterion, Motive, and Ripple Effect—is working on the next entry to EA’s military shooter series, Battlefield 6.
