The Intel Core i9 14900K is the final flagship to grace the LGA 1700 CPU socket, theoretically serving as the ultimate showcase for what team blue's processors can do. While this is true when it comes to performance in games and applications, it's impossible to ignore how hot this chip runs, its thirst for watts, and the negligible generational improvements it offers.

Wonder boy. When Super Mario World first released back in 1990 (or '91 or '92 depending on your region), it felt like a huge moment for Nintendo's iconic platforming franchise. Here was Mario as we already knew him, bounding energetically through 2D environments on the way to his usual goal but, at the same time, everything felt as though it had changed. Super Mario World was a thorough modernisation of all of the important pieces that made the series tick. The world and its characters were brou...

I've been playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder for about a week now, and my head is full of it. What's more - and slightly less convenient - is that my house is full of it too. I'll play and make a note about something incredible but then I'll move on, play somewhere else, make another note, move on again. And all of this brings us today. Let me look around. Stuck to the back of a shirt in the closet is a Post-it with "Platforms of Doom!" written on it. Down by the cactus lamp is a piece of paper ta...

Qualcomm is working with Google to develop a RISC-V platform that can power Wear OS devices. RISC-V is an open standard instruction set architecture (ISA), which Arm describes as "part of the abstract model of a computer that defines how the CPU is controlled by the software." Since it's open standard, it could lead to open-source chip designs and could lower the costs for companies that want to build their own chips. That means more companies entering the industry and more devices on the market...

Intro Panasonic’s 25.2-megapixel Lumix G9 II arrived with a lot of fanfare, as it’s the company’s very first Micro Four Thirds camera with hybrid phase-detect autofocus. And from the first day of launch, Panasonic promoted it as the ultimate small-sensor wildlife and action camera, thanks to the hyper-fast 60 fps shooting speeds and relatively high resolution. However, I (and others) noticed that it held a lot of promise for content creators, too. The superior hybrid AF is also better for video ...
