Intel has announced its NUC M15 Laptop Kit (originally code-named ‘Bishop County’), which will be a new addition to the whitebook market. The new laptop, which is designed in-house by Intel, will be powered by its 11th Gen Intel Core mobile processor (codenamed Tiger Lake). The announcement comes soon after Apple announced its own M1-powered laptops: the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. But keep in mind: the Intel NUC M15 is not a laptop that can be purchased by customers directly.

With its latest line of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, Apple has made quite a splash simply because the laptops are powered by the company’s own processor. At the heart of the new Mac devices is the M1 chipset, which is reportedly faster than the Intel processors found in older MacBooks. iFixit, the teardown specialists, have reported that except the processor, both old and new MacBooks are pretty much the same internally.

A Geekbench listing of NVIDIA’s upcoming budget graphics card has surfaced, confirming the specs of the first Ti card in the lineup. All the specifications are in line with what we’ve heard up until now. You’re looking at 38 SMs or 4,864 FP32 cores paired via a 256-bit bus to 8GB of GDDR6 memory. The frequency mentioned in this test is 1.67GHz which is likely what we’ll see at launch. In comparison, most of the higher-end Ampere cards top out at around 1.70GHz.

We already had an idea about the bus width and shader count of these cards, but now we know the memory size and TGP as well. The shader counts of these parts are expected to stay the same as their RDNA 1 counterparts, 2560 cores (40 CUs) for the 6700 XT and 2,304 cores (36 CUs) for the 6700. The memory bus is getting reducing for both the cards, from 256-bit to 192-bit. This deficit will be compensated by the Infinity Cache. Considering the pricey nature of SRAM, these GPUs will likely feature half as much Infinity Cache compared to the Big Navi parts: ~around 64MB.

AMD’s Radeon RX 5600 XT was launched to slot the gap between the RX 5500XT and the RX 5700. It goes head to head against NVIDIA’s RTX 2060 while costing $60 less. The Radeon RX 5600 XT wins by a decent margin. On top of that, it’s cheaper too. EVGA’s RTX 2060 KO Edition is only available in the US and is now going for $329. As for the vast majority of gamers, the RTX 2060 still costs nearly $350. AMD’s RX 5600 XT now starts at just $269 and all models come with 14Gbps memory and near-5700 level boost clocks. You just can’t go wrong here.

The new AMD GPUs have created a lot of hype in the gaming community as because of its handsome specs against NVIDIA’s RTX 30-series GPUs. However, NVIDIA’s stock was pathetic and people got sick of waiting for the GPUs and a lot of people were inclined to opt for AMD instead. But, the situation after day 1 availability of these new AMD GPUs things seems far more concerning and bad than even NVIDIA. As the renowned YouTuber JayzTwoCents in his video talked about the availability of these two new RX 6800 GPUs and it doesn’t look good.
