    Thumbs up AMD Sees Agent Computers as the Next Step in AI PCs

    AMD has published a guide for running OpenClaw locally on Windows through two distinct hardware paths it calls "RyzenClaw" and "RadeonClaw," both built around its own silicon and designed to keep AI agent workloads off the cloud entirely. The push is part of AMD's broader "Agent Computer" narrative, where it argues that not every AI workload belongs in a data center, people and businesses want control over their data, affordable always-on AI without usage limits, and the confidence that their models are running locally rather than on someone else's infrastructure. The setup runs through WSL2 with LM Studio handling local LLM inference via llama.cpp, and supports Memory.md through local embeddings, no cloud dependency required. AMD says the environment can be configured in under an hour, targeting early adopters and developers experimenting with personal AI agents.

    The RyzenClaw path is built around a Ryzen AI Max+ system with 128 GB of unified memory, AMD specifically recommends reserving 96 GB as variable graphics memory for this use case. Running the Qwen 3.5 35B A3B model, that configuration delivers around 45 tokens per second, processes 10,000 input tokens in roughly 19.5 seconds, supports a 260K token context window, and can run up to six agents concurrently. AMD is positioning this as capable of "agent swarm" experimentation on consumer hardware. RadeonClaw takes a different approach, pairing OpenClaw with the Radeon AI PRO R9700, a workstation-class card with 32 GB of VRAM. That setup is considerably faster, around 120 tokens per second with the same model, and 10,000 input tokens processed in about 4.4 seconds. The tradeoff is a smaller 190K token context window and support for only two concurrent agents, compared to six on the Ryzen AI Max+ path.

    Thumbs up Epomaker Officially Launches Glyph Typewriter-Style Mechanical Keyboar

    Epomaker recently showed off its typewriter-style Glyph mechanical keyboard at CES 2026, although there was no word on when the keyboard would launch, the exact specifications, or what the price would be. Now, the keyboard maker has officially released the Glyph keyboard in all its retro glory, alongside three other keyboards: the $119 Luma100, which we covered previously, the RT100 Pro, and the Epomaker x Aula F75 Ultra.

    The Epomaker Glyph is a 75% mechanical keyboard with 83 keys, a programmable knob, a 2.79-inch full-color TFT screen, and a built-in tablet stand. The highlight of the Glyph is mostly its retro design, which is emphasized by the round, uniform-height keycaps that look a little like bottle caps. The keyboard itself is made of ABS plastic, while the keycaps are dye-sublimated PBT, and the plate is made of aluminium. The Glyph comes with either Epomaker Wisteria V2 switches, which are linear switches with a 45 gf operating force, POM+PTFE stems, PC top housings, and PA66 bottom housings. It also features 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connectivity and an 8,000 mAh battery. The Glyph is available on Epomaker's website for $139.

    Thumbs up Windows 11 Insiders Get Support for >1,000 Hz Monitor Refresh Rate

    Microsoft has released its latest Windows 11 builds, 26100.8106 and 26200.8106 (KB5079387), to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel. This update notably introduces support for monitor refresh rates exceeding 1,000 Hz, marking the first time Windows 11 officially supports four-digit refresh rates. Over the years, gaming monitors have rapidly progressed from double-digit to triple-digit refresh rates. However, reaching four-digit levels so quickly was unexpected, as the general gaming audience has been limited by current technology's ability to output such high frame rates. With modern GPUs capable of running hundreds of frames per second in FPS titles, it's logical for Windows to prepare for future advancements.

    For instance, Philips and AOC have introduced the first gaming monitors capable of supporting 500 Hz at 1440p and 1,000 Hz at 720p. The Philips Evnia 27M2N5500XD and AOC AGON Pro AGP277QK monitors were showcased in China on December 6 and appear to be built around the same 27-inch panel. Both models are QHD 500 Hz displays that can switch to a lower-resolution 720p mode, doubling the refresh rate to 1,000 Hz. Generally, this resolution is required to achieve frame rates above 500 FPS, but modern GPUs like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 can easily reach these numbers in games like Counter-Strike 2. At 1080p, we observed about 726 FPS, indicating that 720p gaming can fully utilize the 1,000 Hz display.

    Thumbs up Arctic Launches Senza AI 370 Fanless PC With Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and 32

    Arctic has announced the updated version of its fanless Senza PC with updated internals, connectivity, and a more flexible design. The Senza AI 370 uses a familiar fanless design, with the heatsink integrated into the case of what would otherwise effectively be a mini PC, but now features the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU and its corresponding AMD Radeon 890M iGPU. That somewhat powerful iGPU in a silent form factor is the biggest differentiator compared to other desktops, but the Senza AI 370 is also designed to fit under a desk, virtually eliminating the need for the PC to be small in the first place. According to the Arctic online store, the Senza AI 370 retails for €1,199.99, and there are no optional barebones kits available.

    Arctic markets the Senza as a silent gaming and productivity machine and claims that it can operate at temperatures as low as 50° in gaming workloads—although there were no specifics on the ambient temperature or the exact games and settings tested, so take that with a pinch of salt. To its credit, the Senza AI 370 does have 32 GB of DDR5X-8000 memory and a 1 TB PCIe Gen 4 ×4 M.2 SSD. The I/O situation is also interesting, with Arctic opting for a break-away front I/O panel module that features 1 3.5 mm audio combo jack, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, and a USB4 Type-C port—this module is connected to the PC via a cable, so that the ports can be mounted near the front of the desk. The actual PC itself also features the following ports: 2× USB 2.0, 2× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1× USB4 Type-C, 1× HDMI 2.1, 1× DisplayPort 2.1, 1× 2.5 GbE, 1× DC in, and separate 3.5 mm audio jacks for mic in and audio out. Because the PC is designed to be mounted under a desk, what would traditionally be the rear I/O is also front-facing, which should make it easier to reach.

    Thumbs up NVIDIA DLSS 5 Gets 84% Dislikes on YouTube as Backlash Grows

    NVIDIA's latest DLSS 5 technology has faced a significant community backlash, with its approval rating dropping considerably. On the published YouTube video, NVIDIA's official DLSS 5 announcement has received an overwhelming 83.7% dislikes, with only 16.3% likes. This is a substantial negative rating, with 16,107 likes and 82,515 dislikes (and counting) on a video with 1,527,915 views at the time of writing. Other videos published by the NVIDIA GeForce YouTube channel have also recorded surprisingly low approval from the community. The Resident Evil Requiem video only scored a 14.9% positive rating, while Starfield had an 18.2% positive ratio of likes to dislikes. Other demos such as Hogwarts Legacy and EA Sports FC saw positive ratings of 18.7% and 14.5%, respectively. The best rating is now exclusive to a tech demo, not even a real game, which is the Zorah Unreal Tech Demo with a 37% positive ratio.

    Gamers' reactions are shifting negatively towards the technology, while NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang famously noted that gamers are "completely wrong" because these games offer massive programmability and controllability in how DLSS 5 is applied, keeping the artistic intent intact. However, according to game developers from both Capcom and Ubisoft who spoke to Insider Gaming, while the individual studios may have been involved in marketing DLSS 5, the teams who worked on them were just as surprised by the results as the rest of the gaming community. A Ubisoft developer is quoted as saying, "We found out at the same time as the public," while developers at Capcom expressed similar sentiments, stating that it was surprising to see Capcom, which has generally been protective of its IPs when it comes to AI involvement, getting involved in the marketing for DLSS 5. Furthermore, the Capcom developers expressed concern about how DLSS 5 might change Capcom's approach to generative AI and its role in game development.

    Thumbs up Counter-Strike 2 Changes Decades-Old Magazine Reloading Rule

    If you are a long-time Counter-Strike player, you know how magazine reloading works. Whenever you reloaded in a Counter-Strike game, any leftover ammunition from your magazine would be returned to your reserve supply. However, Valve is now changing this rule after decades of Counter-Strike gameplay. With the latest update, Counter-Strike 2 is introducing a change where reloading will discard your remaining magazine, essentially depleting your ammunition supply. This alters what used to be a standard procedure for gamers. Even after firing a single bullet, players would reload to keep their supply high in case of nearby combat. However, this has now changed in CS2 to make the experience feel more realistic and to introduce higher stakes for both sides. Careful planning, ammunition purchasing, and balancing will now better represent a real-world scenario.
    ValveWhen you reload in CS2, the leftover ammo in your magazine is dumped back into an essentially endless reserve supply. And so the decision to reload has never offered significant trade-offs—in a safe position with enough time, you might reload after firing a single bullet, or half a mag, or after firing down to empty, and the rest of the round would be unaffected. We think the decision to reload should have higher stakes, so in today's update reloading has been redesigned. Now, when you reload, you'll drop the used magazine and discard all of its remaining ammo. Instead of 'topping off' your weapon with a few bullets, a new full magazine will be taken from the reserves whenever you reload.

    Thumbs up Intel Supplies Core Ultra 200HX Plus in Limited Quantities to Laptop M

    Laptops powered by Intel's latest Core Ultra 200HX Plus mobile processors won't arrive all at once but will instead be released in stages, according to PC World. Intel is supplying its OEM partners with these chips in waves. Some OEMs are receiving the chips first, while others will have to wait weeks before their shipments arrive. For example, Lenovo and Razer are the only OEMs that can immediately ship their new laptops based on the Core Ultra 200HX Plus chips. Customers of other brands, such as Dell, will have to wait until the end of March, while MSI laptops will ship in the second quarter of this year. Perhaps the most delayed is ASUS, whose laptops will hit the market in late May, allowing ASUS fans and customers to get the new "Arrow Lake-HX Refresh" CPUs.

    When considering the reasons for such limited availability at launch, we need to examine Intel's supply chain for the "Arrow Lake-HX." Since TSMC manufactures this generation, Intel's capacity allocation is limited to what the company set months ago. As a result, Intel is supplying these CPUs in waves as they come out of TSMC's fabs. If the process were internal to Intel, the company would likely manage manufacturing more easily with a predictable supply. If the launch involved a server-grade processor or something with a higher margin, Intel would likely allocate more TSMC capacity beforehand. However, since this generation serves the lower-margin mobile market, the current allocation is working adequately, just with a bit of a delay. Below is a complete list of design wins that Intel has secured from OEMs and its partners for Core Ultra 200HX Plus processor family.
