The Dawn and Dusk demo PC, an enchanting artifact dating back to when Nvidia was very firmly a gaming-first company, has resurfaced many years on.

Intel's Panther Lake family is still awaiting release, but the possible flagship chip of the bunch has been spotted on Geekbench. The Core Ultra X9 388H scores 3,057 points in the single-core test and 17,687 points in the multi-core test, racing past its Arrow Lake-H predecessor and AMD's Strix Halo.

If you've been unhappy with the direction Microsoft has taken Windows, offering no meaningful improvements beyond AI and aesthetics, then, well, not much can be done about that.

AMD is apparently no longer telling vendors to stop B650 production in favor of B850 (and B840) due to the current component crisis. Skyrocketing DDR5 prices have caused a steep decline in new motherboard sales, which has reportedly influenced the Red Team to continute to make and sell B650 boards for now, helping consumers still select the cheaper option.

Even as U.S. and Chinese lawmakers make it harder for Nvidia to sell its chips to Chinese customers, the alternatives aren't able to offer a competitive product. With smuggling and obfuscated shipment routing making it possible to get around blocks and barriers, it may be that Nvidia remains the dominant training hardware provider in the region.

The Arrow Lake refresh is expected to fill in the gap till Nova Lake finally launches. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus has just appeared on Geekbench and it achieved great scores that show a decent improvement over the outgoing 265K Plus it'll replace, despite running on relatively slow memory.
