I don’t mention these utilities in my reviews unless they make a meaningful difference in performance. I’m mentioning HP’s Command Center specifically because I don’t want to leave anyone with the impression that this is a slow laptop. It’s not — you just need to make judicious use of the utility. That can either be a bother or a boon, depending on how much attention you want to pay to such things. I like Command Center, because most of the time I don’t need superfast performance and appreciate cool and quiet performance more — but when I need pure speed, it’s just a mouse click away. … [Read more...] about HP Spectre x360 14 review: The convertible 2-in-1, perfected

If you want to try GPU Tweak 3 out for yourself, you can download it here. GPU Tweak 3 just released to open-beta so don't expect a bug-free experience.

The memory bandwidth test is one of the benchmarks that stand out the most. There's an improvement up to a whopping 153.6%. The logical reasoning behind the substantial uplift is that the previous Alder Lake-S was paired with DDR4 memory, while the new sample purportedly runs with DDR5 memory. … [Read more...] about Intel’s Alder Lake-S CPU Hits 4 GHz, Flaunting DDR5 Memory

The good news is that performance across all of the tested RX 6800 XT cards is very close. At factory stock settings, the speediest of the cards we've tested is only 2-3 percent faster than the reference RX 6800 XT.

But that doesn't mean the cards are all equal, as the cooling designs and other elements come into play. Here's a quick overview of the specs before we get into the individual card analysis and benchmark results.  … [Read more...] about AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Roundup: ASRock, Asus, and Sapphire Reviewed
