At its CES 2026 presentation, Intel announced both its Core Ultra Series 3 processors (codenamed "Panther Lake") as well as a forthcoming reference platform for gaming handhelds based on the chips. Looking at the available configurations of the Core Ultra Series 3, it certainly seems like these parts are nearly tailor-made for the handheld 
Intel's new Core Ultra Series 3 processors (codenamed Panther Lake) offer extremely impressive integrated graphics performance, as we noted in our brief testing yesterday. They're also based on what is arguably the most advanced manufacturing process in the world, Intel's 18A, which boasts exclusive features like RibbonFET and PowerVia. That 
In case you missed the memo, Intel has officially launched its Core Ultra Series 3 processors, codenamed Panther Lake. These chips are a significant step forward for the brand, with new architectures on every single major IP block: new P-cores, new E-cores, new Xe3 GPU cores, and a new NPU design. We've already written at length about that, 
Of course, not to be left out, MSI's at CES 2026 with a pile of premium products. In this post, we're taking a short look at the three lines of laptops that MSI brought to the show as well as a new version of the Claw gaming handheld that resolves one of our biggest complaints about the original Claw 8 AI+.
We're fans of MSI's Prestige 
If you haven't caught up on the latest CES coverage, NVIDIA announced and released the latest version of DLSS late last night, or early this morning if you're in most of the rest of the world. DLSS 4.5 brings along major updates to frame generation and super resolution, including support for 6x Multi-Frame Generation as well as Dynamic Frame 
We already reported on the serious slick ROG Xreal R1 gaming glasses yesterday, but ASUS didn't come to CES 2026 with just one big reveal. The company's Republic of Gamers brand rolled out updated Zephyrus laptops with more GPU headroom, a bold new take on the dual-screen Zephyrus Duo, a Kojima Productions–themed Flow Z13 that looks like a 
NVIDIA's consumer graphics presentation at CES 2026 was more interesting than many, although we'll spoil the surprise up-front: there wasn't any new hardware. If you're holding onto hype about new GeForce GPUs, well, you might as well return to hibernation. Or keep playing ARC Raiders, or Chaos Zero Nightmare, or Helldivers 2, or Warframe, 
Last year's CES reveal from AMD was pretty cool. We got the Ryzen 9 9950X3D as well as the official launch of AMD's Ryzen AI Max 300 series—the "Strix Halo" family of super-APUs. AMD is heading up CES again this year, with Dr. Lisa Su delivering the opening keynote for the show. AMD's disclosures this year are a little thinner, though.
That's 
As promised, Intel has launched the Core Ultra Series 3 processors at CES 2026. These are the long-awaited "Panther Lake" chips, and if Intel's claims hold up under our own testing, they look incredibly impressive. Intel made some very big promises at the show: 24% improved multi-threaded performance versus its own Arrow Lake processors (despite 
There's a huge emphasis on PC gaming at CES, and that's understandable; gaming is the primary market keeping the PC alive as a platform. Still, people need PCs for both work and play, so MSI is launching a new family of PC products that are designed specifically for multi-tasking, image processing, remote collaboration, and "data-driven workloads." 
Okay, we know — you're tired of hearing about a hypothetical "Big Battlemage" GPU and just want Intel to launch the darn thing already. Hey, so do we! We can only report the news that comes to us, though, so until Intel pulls the trigger, we're gonna keep posting proof that the new parts exist. This latest one is arguably the most concrete 
Computer cooling primarily happens with regular old fans blowing air through a fixed heatsink assembly. This has various complexities; fans need a relatively large amount of space, and they make a lot of noise due to the mechanical action by which they move air. YPlasma thinks it has a better way: micro-plasma actuators moving ionic wind that 
UPDATE: Corsair has tweeted about this story, with an explanation and a promise to make the customer whole. Check out the company's response below:
This is a perfectly reasonable explanation, as we expected there would be. Corsair isn't some fly-by-night operation, and it did seem absurd on the face of things. Kudos to Corsair for making
