32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3000MHz

Corsair has jumped on the RGB band wagon with its new Vengeance RGB memory. The 32GB kit we were sent consists of 4x8GB modules and is rated at DDR4-3000MHz which is a perfectly decent speed. The reviewer’s guide also puts the CAS 15 timing front and centre, a point we shall return to later.

Acer Predator X34 34-Inch G-Sync Ultrawide 21:9 Gaming Monitor Review

Have you invested a small fortune in a high-end gaming PC, with one or more of the fastest graphics cards on the market, a powerful overclocked CPU, and more? Then you're likely in the market for a high-end display that can reveal the visual potential of your gaming system, and that's where the Acer X34 comes into play! Of course, not all monitors are created equally, but this one is certainly a little more extreme than most, and it has a spec sheet that's so mighty it's only matched by its enormous price tag, so don't expect to get much, if any, change from £1000!

Amazfit Pace GPS Smartwatch Review: Sleek, Attractive, And Great Battery Life

Although the brand isn't very well known here in the U.S., Huami is actually the second largest manufacturer of smart wearables in the world. As such, it was only a matter of time before the Chinese manufacturer, which provides wearable technology to Xiaomi, made its way onto our shores. Huami and Xiaomi established their partnership in 2014 and have since sold over 24 million Mi Bands.

Huami recently purchased Amazfit, an American wearable technology company. Amazfit was launched in 2016 and was quickly scooped up by Huami. They were best known for the Moon Beam and Equator fitness trackers, but Huami and Amazfit together launched the smartwatch we will be looking at today, the Amazfit Pace. The Amazfit Pace was only available in China when it initially launched, but hopped over the pond this past autumn...

Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 review: 10-core for a grand

The introduction of Broadwell-E marked the release of the first 10-core consumer processor from Intel, however it turned out to be even more expensive than the normal 1000 pounds you pay for the Intel flagship. An alternative for this processor is the 10-core Xeon E5-2640 v4, that is available right now for under a grand. In this review we're taking a look at the pros and cons of this processor.

Linksys WRT3200ACM AC3200 MU-MIMO Gigabit WiFi Router Review

Linksys has had a lot of success with their WRT series, and that can't come as a surprise to anyone. They look great, are packed with features, and perform great too. Today I have the pleasure to take a closer look at the newest family member in the WRT series, the WRT3200ACM. Linksys' WRT3200ACM is, as the name suggests, an AC3200 class router which means that it can deliver up to N600 speeds on the 2.4GHz band and up to AC2600 on the 5GHz band. The reason why it is so fast on the 5GHz band is that it uses the Tri-Stream 160 technology. The Tri-Stream 160 effectively doubles the bandwidth of the 5 GHz band through the use of three 160MHz channels. It is also Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) certified from the FCC which not only allows operation at 160MHz, it also triples the channels available at 80MHz. That allows your router to operate in the clearest airspace and where other routers aren't allowed.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Benchmark First Look, A Mobile Powerhouse Emerges

Based on its features and power consumption, Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 835 SoC (or Mobile Platform, as Qualcomm is referring to it now) was already looking like a notable improvement over the Snapdragon 820 and 821. The Snapdragon 835 is expected to provide up to 11 hours of 4K video playback and more than a day of talk time on next-gen smartphones with a single charge, for starters. However, it will also serve up hours of VR gaming and claimed general performance lifts of up to 25 percent in both CPU and graphics/gaming workloads.

Regardless, until now, we could only speculate about the Snapdragon 835’s performance. Qualcomm, however, recently invited us out to its sprawling San Diego campus to put its new chip and mobile platform to the test. The numbers we came away with confirm that the Snapdragon 835 (which sports the Adreno 540 GPU) packs a serious punch...
