Build a 2026 budget gaming PC for 1440p using an i5-12600K and Intel Arc A570 or A580, plus DDR4 savings for better value.

In this article we'll take a closer look at memory scaling performance with Intel Alder Lake CPUs, or more specifically the Core i9-12900K, though these results should apply across the entire 12th-gen ...

We recently reviewed the Intel Core i9-12900K, which is the most powerful and cutting-edge CPU from Intel. Along with the Core i9-12900K, the company also launched the Intel Core i7-12700 and the ...

We'll take a closer look at DDR4 versus DDR5 in the future - as our DDR4 board hasn't arrived yet - but for now, let's take a look at how different DDR5 speeds affect gaming performance. We've tested ...
