Disappointing GPUs, talk of 64-bit CPUs, and Sony's game streaming handheld.

I have to say the graphics card space is a bit disappointing right now, as we've made pretty clear with our article tags on the homepage. AMDs entry-level RX 7600 is a little on the bland side, and leaves something to be desired in the memory department, much like Nvidia's mid-tier RTX 4060 Ti actually.

All while the Intel Arc A750 is quietly out there being the best value budget card by far.

Either way, a few of us are going to be over at Computex this week so expect some weird and wonderful innovations to surface while we all cry internally about the state of the GPU market.

Outside the RTX 4090, this generation of graphics cards haven't been universally well regarded, with the RTX 4060 Ti probably the worst reviewed GPU for Nvidia in a long time. But who cares when you're expecting to make $11 billion in the next few months.

When we reviewed the 2TB XS70 a year ago it was retailing for $240, and we thought that was a pretty decent price for a large SSD that was about as fast as the PCIe 4.0 interface would allow. At less than half that price it's an astoundingly good buy, and will make a great upgrade for either your gaming PC or PlayStation 5.

A bit of a dud at launch, Intel's Alchemist GPU keeps getting better as the price comes down and the driver quality improves. Now at under $200, the A750 variant looks like a steal next to any even remotely comparable AMD or Nvidia graphics card. it's genuinely a great buy

This is the RTX 4060 laptop to buy right now. For a little over $1,000, you can score a brand new RTX 4060 in a laptop that's not massively underpowered in some other way. Usually we'd see manufacturers skimp on the SSD or RAM to get the cost down to this level, but here you're looking at a healthy 16GB of DDR5 and a 1TB NVMe drive. Lovely.

Intel has released a whitepaper outlining a way to simplify its CPU architectures by removing legacy 16-bit and 32-bit support, therefore making them 64-bit only. Intel believes this change will lead to better optimized processors, meaning better performance and efficiency.

In Japan's popular Akihabara shopping district the other night, two stores opened especially late for the RTX 4060 Ti graphics card release. But rather than being inundated with customers all climbing over each other to grab Nvidia's latest 40-series offering, the stores were met with just one humble customer.

At Sony's recent PlayStation Showcase the company announced it will hit us with its very own handheld game streaming device. The handheld will allow you to stream installed games from your PS5 directly to its 8-inch "HD" panel, though details other than that are a little hazy.
