Intel hasn’t made it easy to buy a flagship desktop chip. The company’s 2022 and 2023 Raptor Lake chips ran hot, power-hungry, and had those infamous crashes, while 2024’s Arrow Lake-based Core Ultra 9 285K had lackluster gaming performance that the company has tried to address with updates. Now, Intel claims it has finally surpassed […]

According to […]
Samsung Display and Intel have teamed up on laptop technology called SmartPower HDR that they claim can minimize power usage while you’re watching HDR content on an OLED screen. Intel showed off this technology last year, but Samsung Display is sharing details about how it works and the power savings you might expect. However, the […]
