Picked by Techconnect's Editors In this episode of The Full Nerd, Gordon Ung, Brad Chacos, and Adam Patrick Murray render judgement on the powerful CPUs and GPUs you’ll find inside the next generation of gaming laptops. We kick things off with a deep-dive into AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Mobile CPUs. Tune in (or hit that link) for an abundance of charts and discussion, but bottom line? For now, Ryzen 5000 is the ruler of all it sees. You can’t squeeze Intel’s current 14nm 8-core CPUs into laptops this thin, nor this light. After that, Gordon wades into his GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile review, which l...

Screenshot: Nvidia If you’ve visited the AMD subreddit, the Linus Tech Tips forums, or elsewhere over the last several months, you might have come across a conspiracy theory that Intel and Nvidia struck a secret deal with one another to keep higher-end GPUs out of AMD Ryzen 4000-series laptops. If you looked at the slate of AMD laptops released last year, you might believe it. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, Lenovo Legion 5, and others all came with an AMD processor but nothing higher than an RTX 2060.

In part because of PC gaming.  At CES, Intel announced Rocket Lake S: a new 10nm (whoops!  14nm core) that carries on the five-year tradition of 14nm process technology at Intel. But there was a reason for that, and Brandt Guttridge, Intel’s senior...

It’s almost unfair at this point, but as long as Google keeps making Pixel ‘a’ phones, they’ll be the best budget phones you can buy. This year there are two models—the Pixel 4a for $349 and the Pixel 4a 5G for $499—but the difference is more than just the 5G modem. You get a larger screen, an extra ultrawide camera, and a faster processor with the 4a 5G—and for $150 more, it’s a no-brainer upgrade. Like the previous generation’s 3a, the 4a 5G has a plastic back and lacks wireless charging. On the other hand it offers an increasingly rare headphone jack, three years of Andro...
