Whilst I’ve seen commemorative coins and stamps, I’ve never seen a commemorative CPU.
Intel’s Core i7 8086K is exactly that. The special edition chip celebrates 40 years since the launch of the original 8086 processor and 50 years since the founding of Chipzilla. Continue reading Intel Core i7 8086K Limited Edition review
For the last fifteen years the Call of Duty franchise has been offering gamers some of the best multiplayer combat experiences you can get. The games have also been whipping players from the Second World War into the distant future, provided some of the most well-crafted single-player first-person-shooter games ever made. I’ve often said that many of the Call of Duty single-player campaigns are some of the best movies that I’ve never watched.
Treyarch’s latest addition to the Call of Duty franchise throws fifteen years of single-player narrative gameplay out the window. For whatever reason, with Call of Duty Black Ops IIII, we only get a multiplayer game. Continue reading Call of Duty Black Ops IIII PS4 review
Nvidia’s ridiculously expensive RTX graphics have arrived full of promise, but with very little to actually show for themselves.
I’m currently reviewing a GeForce RTX 2080ti graphics processing unit. I’m not really ready to present my findings, because, well, to be honest, I’ve not really got anything for you. Continue reading Trust us, we’re Nvidia: GeForce RTX 20-series GPU preview
A little while ago I was shown the little “+” on the Intel stickers adorning laptops powered by the latest 8th Gen CPUs. The plus means that the computer uses Intel’s Optane memory.
Chipzilla promises that adding Optane memory to your 8th generation i5, i7 or i9 Intel CPU will let you enjoy a faster, smoother, and amazingly responsive computing experience. But does it really? Continue reading
Whereas it was fair to say that 2010’s Red Dead Redemption was a bit Grand Theft Auto on horses, the recently released sequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, is a much more complex beast.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar Games’ first title developed entirely with the current generation of console hardware in mind, and they’ve really pulled out all the stops. Whilst their amazing Grand Theft Auto V was ported across to the PS4 and XB1, from the last gen, this new game has allowed Rockstar to flex its muscles in a way that we’ve never seen before. Continue reading Red Dead Redemption 2 PlayStation 4 review
Within the maelstrom of game releases over the last month or so, EA Sports launched NHL 19. I belatedly hit the ice to check it out.
EA’s NHL 19, far from being just the usual annual stats update, actually bring even more plays to play Ice Hockey on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Continue reading EA Sports NHL 19 Xbox One review
D-Link provides a professional video surveillance solution at a consumer price.
The peace of mind provided by today’s Wi-Fi security camera systems is remarkable. D-Link have a camera for everyone. From the tiny, inconspicuous, DCS-8000LH Mini HD Wi-Fi Camera to the wide angle of the DCs-8100LH and DLC-2530L. For a relatively small amount of money, you can have an easily accessed network of surveillance cameras, requiring no wiring other than a nearby domestic power socket. Continue reading D-Link Full HD Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Camera DCS-8525LH review
Epson’s Ecotank ink delivery system has already turned colour inkjet printing on its head. The days of paying a tidy sum for a new printer only to find that its going to cost you an arm and a leg for ink are over. For a while now, Epson have been rolling out colour inkjet printers complete with a two-year supply of ink.
The ET-M1120 promises to offer the same deal for users that only require black ink. Whilst most of us probably though we were done with an Epson black and white print when we binned our LX80s, back in the day, there’s still a time and a place for mono printing.
