MacBook Air with M3 13- and 15-InchThe Macbook Air redesign from two years ago is still just as silent, slim, and comfortable as you expect, but you won't see a massive difference from M2.The MacBook Air is a good choice for an ultra-thin, though fully capable laptop, regardless of whether you opt for the 15- or 13-inch design. It's everything you might expect from Apple, but it's not so different from M2 that you should feel the need to switch. What's most concerning is how Apple's MacBook Pro 14 is sitting a little too…

Many of us grew up in the age when playing PC games at their highest settings required a hefty rig. For laptop users who weren’t willing to shell out thousands of dollars for a gaming-capable portable device, it always felt like you were being lapped by those with the space and deep pockets to afford the latest CPU and GPU. However, nowadays, even modest gaming PCs and laptops can play a fair number of recent titles. AI upscaling tech from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel is a big reason for this.An AI That Helps You Get a Job? |…

Thunderbolt is a type of hardware interface technology that is used to connect various devices to a PC. You’ve likely already seen Thunderbolt in the form of its distinctive ports and cables — the latest generations use the USB-C connector. That’s the quick definition. But if you’re here, you’re probably looking for a more comprehensive explanation of what Thunderbolt is, and why it differs from USB-C. In this guide, that’s exactly what you’ll get: We’ll go over some of its current iterations and how they compare,…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends It’s safe to say that 2023 turned out to be a good year for the discrete graphics cards market. According to the latest data, both AMD and Nvidia saw an increase in add-in board (AIB) GPU shipments in the final quarter of 2023, and the year-to-year gains are also massive. While Nvidia still dominates the market, AMD’s share is climbing steadily, and Intel remains in the shadows. Today’s round of market insights comes from Jon Peddie Research (JPR), and it’s all about discrete GPUs.…

For the past few years, Samsung Foundry and TSMC were the only brands capable of making semiconductor chips on 7nm (or better) process nodes. While TSMC has been the best in performance and efficiency, Samsung was a good option for firms that couldn't afford TSMC or get enough volume. Intel and Rapidus plan to make 2nm chips soon to compete with Samsung Foundry and TSMC However, things are getting more problematic for Samsung Foundry as new competitors have emerged in the contract semiconductor chip manufacturing space.…

AMD AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) has had an uphill climb so far, but things might get better in 2024. According to a statement from the company’s chief technology officer, this year will be a big one for AMD in terms of AI — and this doesn’t just mean large-scale AI, but also upscaling. Are we going to see some major changes in AMD’s next-gen RDNA 4 graphics cards? The tantalizing bit of information comes from Mark Papermaster, AMD CTO, who was a guest on the No Priors Podcast. At the very end of the…

In the last few years, one of the biggest developments in video game graphics has been the arrival of AI-powered image-upscaling technologies, such as AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS), and Nvidia Deep-Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). These technologies upscale the image for sharper picture quality, allowing GPUs to render graphics at lower resolution to offer a higher frame rate. However, the problem is that these technologies don’t offer the same capabilities. Nvidia DLSS is…
