It's a whole new season for thin-and-light gaming laptops! Our benchmark tests show Intel's latest 11th Gen Core i7 and i9 H-Series CPUs coaxing 100 frames per second from GeForce RTX 3060-powered notebooks.

Everything You Should Know About Champion Sweatshirts Iconic designs that date back to 1926. Champion Ponder the most popular types of athletic apparel.

SAM testing sees frame-rate gains in select titles Debut MSRP is $20 below that of Nvidias GeForce RTX 3070 Cons Higher temperatures under stress than competing Nvidia cards Radeon reference design is underwhelming compared with Nvidias RTX 30 Series Founders Editions Coil whine under load in our sample card The launch of AMDs new Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card ($479.99) is a bit of a rerun, but of a so-so mid-1970s cop show: a story weve seen before, in an episode we were hoping we wouldnt se...

Competitive pricing for its performance class Field-leading SSD software suite Five-year warranty Still capped at PCI Express 3.0s natural ceiling The new Samsung SSD 980 (nope, no "EVO" today folks) enters the field of internal solid-state drives with some pretty stiff goals to meet. Its older brother, the PCI Express 4.0-based Samsung SSD 980 Pro ($229 for 1TB), blew out our testing benchmarks across the board when we reviewed it back in September of last year, and even though the PCI Express...

All Specs Between you and us...the world of PCI Express 3.0 internal solid-state drives (SSDs) has gotten a bit stale, lately, hasnt it? While innovations are continuing in materials science and engineering that are packing ever more data into smaller and smaller chips for less money every year, the sequential speed throughput of the standard has been capped by the limitations of the interface. So whats next? The Intel SSD 670p, thats what. Specially tuned to perform ahead of the curve in tas...

Minor gains over previous (RTX 2060) generation Pricey for its performance class With the launch of its new "Ampere" GPU architecture, Nvidia has pushed a torrent of great new graphics card releases in recent months, from a rare five-star entry (the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition, last October) to the more recent, also stellar GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition. Cards like those bring the new GeForce RTX 3060 (tested here in the $329.99 EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Black Gaming 12G) int...

As a top-of-the-heap power-hungry productivity dynamo, the RTX 3090 Suprim soars, knocking out every productivity benchmark we could throw its way while posting all-time records in gaming tests. But all that power comes at a price ($1,799 MSRP, to be exact), and its performance results alone dont justify a 150% i...
