Valve's next-generation Steam Deck 2 handheld console is reportedly planned for release in 2028, with significant manufacturing changes expected for this sequel to the highly successful handheld gaming device. According to a well-known industry leaker, KeplerL2, posting in the NeoGAF community, Valve is targeting a 2028 refresh for the second-generation Steam Deck. However, the ongoing supply chain shortages of DRAM and NAND Flash could cause disruptions to these plans, potentially leading to delays. Interestingly, this period is when the shortages are expected to start easing, so the Steam Deck 2 could still be released on time, depending on Valve's sourcing capabilities.

One of the most significant procurement shifts for the Steam Deck 2 is Valve's choice of the computing base that will power the handheld. Instead of using a semi-custom AMD APU, Valve is expected to use an off-the-shelf AMD APU that won't require any custom tuning from AMD to meet Valve's needs. This is welcome news, as the latest Steam Machine showed that Valve's reliance on a semi-custom APU solution made the hardware "obsolete" quickly while the rest of the industry advanced. With any semi-custom solution, stockpiling silicon and waiting for DRAM/NAND modules to arrive puts pressure on Valve to ship a product that is significantly underpowered or too expensive. However, with an off-the-shelf solution, Valve could use the best available option at the time of shipping and optimize SteamOS around it.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Imagine you're a web hosting vendor leasing out specific number of CPU cores of a large core-count processor. You'd want to specify QoS limits on the shared L3 cache performance for those cores, so they don't hamper performance of other tenants. AMD this week released a technical document detailing the Platform Quality of Service (PQOS) ISA extensions for its next-generation Zen 6 microarchitecture. These ISA enhancements provide sysadmins and cloud providers with greater control over processor and memory subsystem performance. The latest document outlines three primary additions to the Zen 6 PQOS feature set, Global Bandwidth Enforcement (GLBE), Global Slow Bandwidth Enforcement (GLSBE), and Privilege-Level Zero Association (PLZA). These features are designed to scale performance management across complex multicore environments by allowing software to regulate bandwidth and execution privileges more effectively across expansive groups of logical processors. The development shows that AMD is steering toward a more closely collaborative hardware QoS solution for its multicore processors.

A highlight of the Zen 6 PQOS updates is the implementation of Global Bandwidth Enforcement (GLBE), which allows system software to specify L3 external bandwidth limits for groups of cores that span across multiple traditional QoS Domains. By grouping these into a unified "GLBE Control Domain," AMD enables a competitively shared bandwidth ceiling for specific Classes of Service (CoS). This upgrades older architectures that only provided L3 external bandwidth enforcement on a strictly per-domain granularity. Next up, AMD introduced Global Slow Bandwidth Enforcement (GLSBE), a parallel feature that applies the exact same multi-domain bandwidth limiting principles to system memory explicitly designated as "Slow Memory." Both GLBE and GLSBE provide granular controls via specific model-specific registers.[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

On your Windows PC, the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) uses Secure Boot certificates to ensure that only trusted software initiates the startup sequence. The certificates currently in use were originally issued in 2011 and are set to expire in late June 2026. To address this, Microsoft [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] updated certificates through Windows Update. Starting in April 2026, users can check their device's status via a new indicator in the Windows Security app. By navigating to Device security and then Secure Boot, a color-coded badge will show whether your device is fully updated, awaiting an update, or requires immediate attention.

The badge system is simple yet significant. A green checkmark indicates that the new certificates are installed and no further action is needed. A yellow caution badge, which will start appearing in May 2026, means the update is either pending or has been blocked by a hardware or firmware limitation. A red stop icon is the most serious state and could appear as early as June 2026, once older certificates start expiring. When this occurs, the device will no longer be able to receive critical boot-level security updates. The same status is reflected in the Windows Security system tray icon, so warnings are visible even when the app is closed.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

As we enter a new month, Steam's Hardware and Software Survey data has been processed, providing us with a clearer view of the overall gaming market that uses Steam platform. Today, the most notable change in the Steam Survey is the increase in Linux gamers, who have moved from their historically low single-digit market share to mid-single digits. As of March, Linux-based operating systems were running Steam on 5.33% of all polled systems. This represents an impressive 3.10% increase over February's data, which showed a dip in Linux market share from January's 3.5%. Fortunately, the numbers have now been revised upwards, marking a significant improvement for the community that has been steadily implementing improvements and making Linux-based gaming more accessible to everyone.

What might not be surprising is that a large portion of those 5.33% Linux installations run on Valve's customized SteamOS operating system. With a 24.48% share, the use of SteamOS grew by 0.65% last month alone, while other Linux distributions also contributed significantly. Other Windows alternatives like macOS are gaining momentum as well, with Apple seeing a 1.19% month-over-month increase to 2.35%. Although Linux now holds more than twice the market share of macOS, its growth within the Steam install base is a significant change, nearly doubling in just a month. Perhaps these alternative operating systems are now attracting enough attention from big game studios to encourage them to release native ports instead of relying on translation tools like Wine/Proton.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

8BitDo has released a limited edition version of its Retro 68 mechanical keyboard to mark Apple's 50th anniversary. Called the AP50, it takes direct visual inspiration from the Apple II color scheme with the familiar beige and brown colors of that era of computing. The keyboard uses a 68-key compact layout built around a gasket-mount system for better typing acoustics and a softer key-press feel. Construction is all-aluminium, chassis, plate, and keycaps, and the 323.3 x 138.5 x 46.5 mm body reflects that, with the keyboard weight reaching 2.2 kg. Switches are Kailh BOX Ice Cream Pro Max, and the PCB is hot-swappable if you want to try something else without soldering. RGB backlighting is included, and the keyboard is programmable through 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2 or via fast-mapping directly on the keyboard without any software.

Connectivity covers all three modes: wired USB, 2.4G wireless, and Bluetooth LE. It's compatible with macOS, Windows 10 and above, and Android 9.0 and above. The 6500 mAh battery is rated for up to 300 hours of use with a 9-hour charge time. The package also includes a set of Wireless Dual Super Buttons (160.2 x 75.3 x 32.6 mm, 270 g), a 2.4G adapter, and a USB cable. At $499.99, the 8BitDo AP50 keyboard is clearly aimed at collectors and enthusiasts rather than anyone shopping on a budget.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

AMD's RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards have finally reached reasonable pricing, as German retailers report that these GPUs are now selling below MSRP. In Germany, the European MSRP for Radeon RX 9070 cards is €629, including 19% VAT. For its bigger sibling, the Radeon RX 9070 XT, the European MSRP is listed at €689, also including the sales tax. However, according to multiple listings from German online retailers, both cards are trading below their European MSRP pricing, marking the first occurrence since the memory shortage fiasco began, which took a toll on the gaming community. The cheapest Radeon RX 9070 non-XT model is listed at €539.00 in the form of the ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 OC SKU, while the cheapest Radeon RX 9070 XT model is listed at €640 for the ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Challenger GPU.

Interestingly, this price drop in Germany is not consistent with the markets in the United States, where GPU pricing for the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT still ranges around $810-$820 for the non-XT SKU and about $880-$890 for the Radeon RX 9070 XT model. This represents a large premium in the U.S. market, considering that the Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics cards have MSRPs of $549 and $599, respectively. Perhaps a fresh supply of GPUs has hit the German market, causing supply to overwhelm demand and significantly pushing prices down. In the U.S., that is not the case, where prices remain high and on an upward trajectory, according to PCPartPicker. In contrast, the German market is experiencing some of the lowest pricing in recent months, finally giving gamers a break.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Alphacool International GmbH from Braunschweig is a pioneer in PC water-cooling technology. With one of the most comprehensive product portfolios in the industry and over 20 years of experience, Alphacool is once again expanding its portfolio with the long-awaited Apex Monoblocks. The monoblocks combine high cooling performance with an elegant design that is perfectly matched to the respective motherboard. In addition to the CPU, they also cool the voltage regulators (VRMs) and the M.2 NVMe SSD located below the CPU socket. This allows the waterblock to cover all key motherboard components.

As with the Apex 1 CPU cooler, the Apex Monoblocks feature an offset cold plate. This directs the coolant flow straight to the thermal hotspot of the AM5 CPU. Combined with the proven Cross-Slot structure and 3D Jetplate 2.0, the design generates high water pressure for particularly efficient heat dissipation. The Apex Monoblocks were developed for demanding systems that require both high cooling performance and seamless integration into the motherboard design. Their combination of technical precision, targeted coolant flow and clear design language makes them ideally suited to modern custom water-cooling setups.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Intel has quietly added the Core Ultra 7 251HX to its Arrow Lake HX lineup, skipping any formal announcement. The chip simply appeared on the Intel website a few weeks after it surfaced in Lenovo Legion 5i 2026 and MSI Raider 16 HX listings. The 251HX is an 18-core, 18-thread part with 6 Performance cores and 12 Efficient cores, slotting between the Core Ultra 5 245HX and the Core Ultra 7 255HX. Compared to the 255HX, it drops two P-cores and loses two threads, but keeps the same 12 E-cores and 30 MB of Smart Cache. TDP range stays identical at 55 W base and up to 160 W maximum turbo power. Max Turbo comes in at 5.1 GHz, 100 MHz below the 255HX, but the E-core base clock actually jumps 700 MHz to 2.5 GHz, and the P-core base is up 500 MHz as well at 2.9 GHz. Memory support goes up to DDR5-6400.

The integrated graphics drop to three Xe3 cores clocked up to 1.8 GHz, down from four on the 255HX, which also trims AI performance from 33 TOPS to 30. Not a dramatic difference, but worth noting if NPU performance matters for a specific workload. As an endnote, the Core Ultra 7 251HX sits between the Core Ultra 5 245HX with its 14 cores in a 6P+8E layout and 24 MB of cache, and the 20-core Core Ultra 7 255HX and 265HX sitting above.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Steam is reportedly in the process of adding a "Frame Estimator" tool that can estimate your PC's performance before you purchase a game. As you know, Valve's Steam platform is the largest gaming platform in the world, with access to millions of PCs. The Steam Client application offers an option to include your PC in Valve's telemetry system, which processes data such as your PC's specifications and game information, including your library. Using these data points, Steam will estimate how many frames per second your PC can generate in any game, depending on your configuration. For example, for a specific CPU, GPU, and available system memory, the Steam Client will indicate whether a game can reach 60 FPS at 1440p using high settings, or whatever your preference is. We can only speculate at this point about what the feature will look like, as Steam is still refining it before the public beta release.

Additionally, Valve has already started asking users for anonymous FPS data collection about a month ago whenever they run a game. With this data pool, likely involving millions of participants, Valve aims to build a system that estimates your FPS output based on your specific PC configuration, without needing to run a game first. Reportedly, this feature will appear in the Steam Client and show how much performance your PC can deliver before you even purchase a game. This is a classic recommendation system that will indicate what your configuration typically delivers at specific game settings and resolutions.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Intel will continue to ensure production of its 14th Gen Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" desktop processors, 700-series motherboard chipset, and ensure continued availability of the Socket LGA1700 platform. In an interview with Club386, Intel's VP and GM of client segment technical marketing, Robert Hallock, said that Raptor Lake remains a big part of Intel's client segment strategy, and that these processors will continue to be "abundantly available." Hallock also hinted that Intel could get motherboard vendors to innovate boards with both DDR4 and DDR5 memory slots, so consumers can choose between the two memory types, picking cheaper DDR4 memory, and upgrading to DDR5 down the line.

"Raptor Lake is a big part of our strategy - I want to be very clear about that," says Hallock. "It's still really, really good, even with multiple generations of hardware from other vendors coming after it, so it's not going anywhere. I want people to understand that Raptor Lake will continue to be abundantly available," Hallock said. "You've also seen some new motherboard announcements that support both DDR4 and 5 on Raptor Lake, as kind of like a bridge between worlds for people," he added. "That is reflective of our overall confidence and expectations." Companies like ASRock are already innovating such boards, and we could expect more such products in 2026.[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Canadian online retailers have started putting up early listings of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition desktop processor, which was [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] earlier this month, but without a price announcement. The processor will start selling from April 22, 2026. Ahead of this date, Canadian retailers, ShopRBC and PC-Canada, listed the processor. ShopRBC listed it for CAD $1,375, while PC-Canada had it up for CAD $1,374. It so happens that these prices convert to approximately USD $990, confirming the popular theory that AMD could give the 9950X3D2 Dual Edition an MSRP of $999, making it the Ryzen-branded desktop processor with the highest launch price, not counting Threadripper HEDT SKUs.

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is designed to be a flagship 16-core/32-thread Socket AM5 desktop part with 3D V-Cache memory on both its 8-core "Zen 5" chiplets, for a combined L3 cache of 192 MB, and total cache of 208 MB. The chip should, in theory, offer better gaming performance than the regular 9950X3D, since game workloads could be executed on either of the two CCDs. Multithreaded productivity workloads that are heavy on streaming data should benefit from the large caches, too. The chip comes with a feisty TDP of 200 W.[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] [Only registered and activated users can see links.

Intel has recently released a new video showcasing its latest Texture Set Neural Compression (TSNC) technology, which delivers textures up to 18 times smaller while maintaining visual quality with little to no noticeable difference compared to the industry-standard compression. Using AI-based neural networks, Intel's graphics team processes input data from industry-standard BCn textures. These textures are compressed through an AI model encoder, encoded in the latest space values, and then decoded by a network decoder to decompress the textures. The result is output data textures that are up to 18 times smaller, with some quality loss at maximum compression settings. As with any neural technology, TSNC is trained on millions of standardized textures to create an AI model that can replace traditionally compressed textures in the BCn format. This results in new, much smaller game textures that load faster, use less VRAM, and perform better thanks to modern GPU technology.

There are several ways to apply TSNC neural compression, depending on the desired outcome, whether it's saving game installation size, reducing VRAM usage, or improving performance. Variant A, as Intel calls it, can achieve up to 9 times compression of the standard texture set, with little to no difference in visual quality—almost an unnoticeable drop. However, when the goal is maximum efficiency and requires up to 18 times texture compression, Intel offers Variant B of the TSNC neural network. This variant provides a significant performance boost, with the trade-off being a modest visual change. Using NVIDIA's FLIP tool to measure quality drop in generated images, Intel notes that Variant A experiences a 5% visual quality drop, while Variant B sees up to a 7% quality drop, which is noticeably more.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Intel has unexpectedly discontinued the official XeSS plugin for the Unity game engine, leaving the Unity ecosystem without XeSS frame generation, temporal super sampling, and antialiasing technology. This decision comes just a month after Intel released its [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] software development kit for game studios, which includes features like multi-frame generation and the ability for XeSS 3.0 to use external memory heaps for GPU memory allocated by the game engine. This allows XeSS and the engine to operate on the same VRAM blocks instead of each reserving separate ones. However, it is unclear if XeSS 3.0 works with the latest Unity 6 engine, as official support has been withdrawn and the repository now serves as a public archive on GitHub. Similarly, AMD abandoned the Unity platform years ago, leaving only FSR 2.0 support since the last update. The focus now seems to be on other game engines like Unreal Engine 5 and its future versions, which are receiving all the latest advancements from both Intel and AMD.

Sapphire introduced two new China-specific graphics cards, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE Pulse Pro, and the Radeon RX 9060 XT Pulse S. The two feature a price-performance ratio that's highly optimized for the Chinese market, banking on the success of China-specific products from previous generations. The RX 9070 GRE Pulse Pro features a board design that's similar to that of the RX 9070 series Pure brand from the company, but colored black overall. The card appears high-end when installed, with a meaty triple-slot cooling solution, and a board length of 32 cm. It uses a pair of 8-pin PCIe power inputs. Sapphire has given this card a Game clock of 2920 MHz boost, and 2340 MHz Game clock. Display outputs include two each of HDMI 2.1b and DisplayPort 2.1a.

Carved out from the 4 nm "Navi 48" silicon, the RX 9070 GRE has 48 RDNA 4 compute units, for 3,072 stream processors. It gets 12 GB of 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit wide memory bus. The RX 9070 GRE is hence positioned between the global RX 9070 and RX 9060 XT 16 GB. Next up, is the Sapphire Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB Pulse S. This is a compacted version of the global RX 9060 XT 8 GB Pulse. While the global card has a 24 cm board length with 12.4 cm height, the China-specific Pulse S card is just 20 cm in length, with 12.2 cm height. Both cards are 2 slots thick.[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] [Only registered and activated users can see links.
