We take a look back at the history of Tom’s Hardware as we celebrate our 30-year anniversary.

With prices skyrocketing, it’s more important than ever to follow these guidelines to help you find great deals on PC hardware.

To avoid rising RAM costs, some PC builders and OEMs have shifted toward using a single DDR5 module for gaming PCs. We test how much of a performance loss that actually represents.
The RX 9050 is slower than the RTX 5050 in every conceivable way except when the latter is constrained in some way. It performs worse in synthetic benchmarks and games but has more efficient power consumption. At 4K, it’s about 42% slower, and at 1080p it’s about 31% slower on average across various titles.

A new firmware update for MSI motherboards features High-Efficiency Mode, which offers latency tuning similar to AMD’s EXPO ULL on regular memory kits.

Returning to Prime Day pricing, Samsung’s fastest SSD, the 9100 Pro 2TB, is just $10 more than the previous PCIe generation’s champion, the 2TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD.

What if instead of relying on mechanical pressure generated by fans, you could just passively cool your PC using natural convection? That’s what der8auer managed to pull off in his new experiment using the stack effect that targets a similar pressure differential but achieves it without any fans.

Premium Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 graphics cards are once again selling far above MSRP, with some Asus and MSI models climbing close to $5,000.
High SSD speeds are helpful in many applications, but should they trump the capacity of the SSD when it comes to gaming?

Intel reportedly licenses Atom-class x86 cores to a startup led by Lip-Bu Tan’s co-investor and incorporated in May.
