AMD releases limited run Ryzen 5600X3D CPU in the US

AMD and Micro Center have announced a limited run launch of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D CPU. This is a variant of the Ryzen 5 5600X but with the 3D V-Cache technology. The 5600X3D, much like the 5600X itself, is technically a chip that wasn't good enough to be a 5800X3D. This means instead of eight functional CPU cores, it has six. It still, however, has the full 96MB of L3 cache, which made the 5800X3D such a fantastic CPU for gaming. The 5600X3D has a 3.3GHz base clock frequency and 4.4GHz boost clock frequency, a reduction of 400MHz and 200MHz respectively over the standard...

Xiaomi Redmi 12 in for review

Say hi to the Redmi 12, Xiaomi's very freshly-announced entry-level phone with good specs for a good price. Let's unbox it, then we'll go over both. Similar to the entry-level Galaxy phones, the Redmi 12 ships with a USB cable, but manages to squeeze in a case as well. There's no charger, though, so you'll need to supply your own - the phone supports 18W charging. Back to the specs. The Redmi 12 has an ample 6.79-inch IPS LCD of 1080x2460px resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The panel is vibrant and ramps up surprisingly bright.

Our Realme 11 Pro+ vs 11 Pro video comparison is out now

Whenever we review a phone, we conclude by comparing it to its rivals, which are always similar in price.

The two are close in specs - the same display, battery, and chipset - but the Pro+ does offer a tangible advantage with faster charging, and a better all-round camera system. But all of that's on paper. We pit the two in a video comparison to visualize how they differ and if the savings from the Pro+ to the Pro are...

FTC: Microsoft-Activision Blizzard deal should remain blocked for now

Microsoft finds itself in yet another legal hurdle as the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has appealed for an injunction to temporarily block its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The FTC appealed the decision to block the proposed Microsoft-Activision merger in federal court citing potential harm to competition in the console, cloud gaming and gaming subscription sectors. The FTC’s in-house court needs more time to assess the situation and rule whether the merger would be detrimental to consumers. This is not the first instance of regulators being hesitant to give...

The Motorola Razr 40 goes on sale in China, is coming to Europe next month

That’s more than the €800 that the Razr 40 was supposed to...
