Abstract: Two years after its release on the PS4, Days Gone has come to PC. It is an open-world game which looks like a mix of The Last of Us and Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned...
Abstract: Even though Fenyx Rising relies on Ubisoft’s AnvilNext 2.0 engine, which we already saw in Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Ghost Recon Breakpoint, it does not look...

Battling CPUs at $60 is going to be a tough call. Do you throw the best hardware around the chip that money can buy to compare the absolute limits of the hardware under ideal conditions, or do you keep it more reasonable for the price bracket it is intend...
Better performance but not that much better The limited-edition Intel i7-8086K is a rather controversial model and certainly will not be right for everyone. In fact, a very good argument can be made that it is not even an optimal choice for most buyers. F...

The x86 and by proxy, the updated x86-64 instructions set have been around so long now that most of us have forgotten what it even means. The fact that it even still exists is almost a fluke as nothing in the computing world lasts longer than a few years...
