Intel announced today at Nvidia GTC 2026 in San Jose that its Xeon 6 processor will serve as the host CPU in Nvidia's DGX Rubin NVL8 systems.

While the result doesn't mean much due to this being early silicon running at low clocks, it proves that AMD has Zen 6 consumer CPUs up and running.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is down to an all-time low price, making it a more enticing option than the slightly more performant but also much more expensive Ryzen 7 9850X3D.

A Redditor only paid $86.98 for a Ryzen 5 7600X, a Gigabyte B850 Eagle motherboard, and a 32GB DDR5-6000 Corsair Vengeance RGB kit from Newegg. The CPU even included a free 240mm Cooler Master AIO worth $85 on its own. All these parts would typically cost $1,012, but this customer scored a combo deal for the ages.

Russia-based Tramplin Electronics obtains samples of Loongson's LS3C6000 processors with Cyrillic inscriptions, claims these are its own CPUs.

Using Precision Boost Overdrive and Curve Optimizer, you can fine tune your processor’s voltage and power limits to achieve better efficiency and sustained boost speeds.

Intel is introducing two new Arrow Lake CPUs under the Core Ultra 200S Plus banner, while slashing prices and adding more E-cores. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus are said to offer 15% better gaming performance than standard Arrow Lake chips at 1080p.

AMD launched its first processors with on-die L2 cache this week in 1999, heralding the beginning of the Super Socket 7 era.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D now leads AMD’s gaming lineup, but Intel’s Core i9-14900K remains a powerful choice for productivity-focused users. We tested both in a head-to-head battle to see which CPU comes out on top.

Leading Linux publication Phoronix has tested 15 Intel mobile processors launched over an 18-year period.

We’re retesting a decade’s worth of CPUs for our CPU hierarchy and Bench database, and we’re taking Tom’s Hardware Premium users behind the scenes to show you how it’s done.

We tested CPU scaling in Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem with some fascinating results. However, we weren’t able to get through a full suite of CPUs due to Capcom’s use of Denuvo Anti-Tamper in Resident Evil 9.

After years of rumors and leaks, something feels different in the air as multiple reports are now pointing toward an actual, official launch for Nvidia's N1/N1X SoCs. These highly elusive chips have been in the works for years, have faced multiple delays, but the excitement for their release never died down.
