ASRock is supporting Threadripper and the X399 chipset with the new X399 Professional Gaming board and the X399 Taichi board, both of which will exceed the highest of expectations by combining unprecedented power with almost limitless expandability

Toshiba is releasing their first SSD based on 64-layer stacked NAND. It's a TLC SSD under the name TR200. The move to 64-layer NAND is a big one that many have been waiting on.

Intel reached a new high as they had a record revenues of $ 14.8 billion USD in the second quarter of this year. That is a 9 percent growth over the same period in 2016.

Thanks to the new ROCCAT Khan Pro, the player can hear and locate any opponent long before they ever come in sight. 

Bristol Ridge APUs have been available for the OEM market for a while now, not to confuse them with Zen architecture. Together with the Ryzen 3 release, AMD is unleashing some SKUs into the market in the form of the A serie with IGP as well as the A6-9550, Athlon X4 970 and Athlon X4 940

So one thing I have been thinking about for a while now is that AMDs server platform EPYC offers 32-core processors. Realistically it would not make much sense to create separate and create alternate SKUs for the consumer given AMDs recent history (4 core procs are really 8-core parts).

Website elchapuzasinformatico in the past has been pretty spot on with information that should not be out there. This round they apparently stumbled into three Sapphire Radeon RX Vega cards.

Entry level processors, going quad-core. Yes AMD is at it again with their Ryzen 3 series processors, in this review we test their Ryzen 3 1200 and 1300X. That means you can gain a significant number in proc performance, yet remain in the lowest price bracket. And tweaked a bit, that even is mainstream performance for low-end prices!

Yesterday AMD released their Radeon Crimson ReLive Edition Driver v17.7.2 (download), and some of you have asked me if I know where the Windows 8.1 drivers are. That indeed is a fair question, as they are missing. 

You guys have seen X399 (Ryzen Threadripper) motherboards from names like ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI. ASRock was still missing in that list. However details and some photos surfaced on the web showing the new X399 Fatal1ty Professional Gaming and X399 Taichi.

We talked about the Stream 3 from ID-Cooling recently, well meet the Stream 4. ID Cooling is releasing another Stream series open frame chassis, this time for Mini ITX builder. Interesting though is that this one has a VESA mount for monitors.

ASUS has added their PH-GTX1060-3G, a 3GB GeForce GTX 1060 that fits a Mini-ITX form factor. The card is 18.3 cm in length and can be used in very compact builds.

Activision outs a new trailer for the upcoming first-person-shooter by Bungie, Destiny 2. The trailer showcases one of the pre-order bonuses of the game, the Coldheart Exotic Trace Rifle.

AMD just released Radeon Software Crimson ReLive 17.7.2. The new drivers have gotten an extensive update with new features like Enhanced Sync, we wrote a small article highlighting some of these new options right here.

Earlier on there was this rumor that Threadripper processors will be optionally bundled with an LCS kit. These are many core processors and will require proper cooling to be able to deal with the TDP and heat of course. The answer seems to be more nuanced, the kits will be shipped with an Asetek LCS mounting kit.
