AMD is introducing an improved version of its popular Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor today at CES. The new Ryzen 7 9850X3D offers up the same 8-core / 16-thread CPU as the 9800X3D, running at even faster boost clocks. “We’ve fine-tuned our best gaming processor in the world and have increased the boost clocks to 5.6GHz,” […]
Dell-owned Alienware is looking to reach a wider swath of gamers, announcing at CES 2026 that it’s working on two new laptops: one with a lower, entry-level price and one with an ultra-slim chassis. There aren’t many details right now, as Alienware is only sharing some basic renders, and the behind-glass nonworking prototypes I saw […]
Asus is no stranger to odd yet badass limited editions of its one-of-a-kind gaming tablet, and for CES 2026 it’s collaborating with Kojima Productions on the best-looking one yet.

The original Zephyrus Duo was a quirky keyboard-in-the-front-club member, with a 15.6-inch main display and a 14.1-inch-wide, skinny touchscreen crammed between the hinge and side-by-side keyboard and trackpad. The […]

The Origins […]
HP’s branding is missing on its new gaming laptops (and gaming monitors) announced at CES 2026 – HP-owned HyperX has gotten a big promotion in its place. This swap is the biggest aesthetic change in the Omen lineup (the logo is on the lid and on the screen’s bottom bezel). In other words, not much […]
From laptops to monitors, HyperX is the brand you’ll see on much of HP’s new gaming-focused products launched at CES 2026. And despite the branding switch, this year’s slate of monitors might be the company’s most competitive batch yet.
