It’s pretty clear that laptops are king in the age of mobile tech, but for old-school computer nerds, nothing can replace the tried-and-true desktop PC. The fact is that no laptop can offer what a desktop can when you’re settling in for a long work day or unwinding with some gaming. From a full-sized keyboard and mouse to a nice big monitor (or even multiple monitors if you’re the multitasking type), desktops simply deliver far more utility and comfort than even the best laptops can. Many people, especially gamers, build their own PCs , but with lingering chip shortages and supply chain backlogs, a better option might be to go the pre-built route.

One display maker is setting its sights on raising the PC and laptop refresh rate standard to 480Hz. The component brand, AUO, showcased two prototypes of 480Hz gaming monitors in a YouTube video to coincide with its presence at the Society for Information Display’s Display Week (SID Week) conference, which took place in San Jose, California this week. One of the proposed displays is a 24-inch FHD PC monitor with a 480Hz refresh rate and a less than 1ms response time. The second is a 16-inch FHD laptop display with a 480Hz refresh rate and a response time of “slightly higher than 1ms.” Ars Technica correctly notes that this is a TN 1080p panel, meaning the proposed display has traded some image quality to prove that the 480Hz refresh rate can be achieved. However, for showcasing at conferences such as SID Week, perfection is not quite necessary. Refresh rates common on the market today for PCs and laptops are most commonly anywhere between 60Hz and 240Hz. Many … [Read more...] about The next PC display refresh rate milestone could be 480Hz | Digital Trends

Intel's codenamed Arctic Sound graphics cards for data centers have been making rounds in the rumor mill for quite a while in one form or another. These cards were announced in late March (without fanfares, though) and should be available sometime in Q3 2022. Our colleagues from ServeTheHome were lucky enough to see these cards displayed at the Intel Vision event last week, Intel's Arctic Sound family for data centers includes two boards — the ATS-M75 and the ATS-M150; their model numbers correspond to their maximum graphics power (TGP). The low-profile ATS-M75 card is based on two ACM-G10 graphics processors with eight GPU compute units, whereas the full-height ATS-M150 board is powered by the larger ACM-G11 GPU with 32 compute units, according to ServeTheHome. While Intel's Arctic Sound-M graphics cards position themselves as data center GPUs, they are intended primarily for video, gaming, remote desktop, and other similar applications, but not heavy-duty GPU compute … [Read more...] about Intel Displays Arctic Sound-M Graphics Cards
