After being unveiled at CES last year as a concept, Razer’s compact Tomahawk gaming desktop is finally available for purchase to the tune of $2,399. The company had revealed its plans in December to commercialize the Tomahawk to the excitement of gaming fans who seek a compact and stylish desktop, and now you can be among the first to grab the company’s first gaming desktop PC.

No tools are required and you won’t have to deal with hinges or loose door panels, according to Razer, making this great for people who love to upgrade and tinker with their systems.

After launching its ultra-premium Odyssey G9 monitor with a massive 49-inch curved screen and “dual QHD” resolution in 2020, Samsung is ready to give the panel a major upgrade this year. While retaining the futuristic Tron-like design aesthetics featuring a white back panel and glowing blue ring on the rear, the 2021 version of the Odyssey G9 adds in Quantum mini-LED backlighting. Borrowed from its television range, the mini-LED technology gives this year’s Odyssey G9 better contrast and brightness, two important elements to gamers. Samsung claims that it’s bringing both Quantum mini-LED enhancements and Quantum Matrix Technology to the Odyssey for the first time. Combined with an immersive 1000R curvature, the Odyssey G9 should be an eye-catching screen for immersive gameplay, ensuring you can surround yourself and not miss any important action.

Earlier this year Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. outlined plans to increase its CapEx budget to $25 billion ~ $28 billion in 2021, many industry observers attributed the increase to building out 3-nm capacities in preparation to produce CPUs for Intel and other large customers.

Apple is one of TSMC's key customers that has early access to the latest process technologies and is among the first to adopt the newest nodes. Later this year other TSMC's customers, such as AMD and Qualcomm, … [Read more...] about Analysts Forecast TSMC To Double 5nm Output This Year
