Battling CPUs at $60 is going to be a tough call. Do you throw the best hardware around the chip that money can buy to compare the absolute limits of the hardware under ideal conditions, or do you keep it more reasonable for the price bracket it is intend...
If you're after a budget processor from Intel that can perform daily tasks with occasional gaming… then there's no question, the Intel Pentium G4560 is your answer. It's a dual core Kaby Lake with 4 threads at $65.00… what more do you want?! 1 2 3 4Sha...

Abstract: Today we're pulling the wraps off of the true Devil's Canyon successors, Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K. Our exploration is going to feel a little incomplete t...
& conclusion The Intels Skylake series launch is going to be interesting. After testing the Core i5 6600K my feelings are a bit two-fold though. Let's face it - clock for clock these processors all roughly perform the same starting at Sandy-Bridge the Co...
