The RTX 5070 is one of the best midrange GPUs you can buy but it’s often been overshadowed by the more competitive RX 9070 from AMD due to the latter’s memory pool. Now, at its lowest price ever, the RTX 5070 has just become a lot more exciting, especially with Nvidia’s superior driver suite and features like frame-gen in mind.

Asus, MSI, and other PC manufacturers are now purchasing memory chips from the spot market to shore up their inventories as memory supplies tighten.

We’re expecting at least three new SKUs in the Arrow Lake refresh that Intel is cooking up behind the scenes, with decent improvements across the board in terms of better memory support and higher clock speeds. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, in particular, looks to be almost on par with a current-gen 285K if this leak is to be believed.

Heating up the HEDT/wokstation market, SKUs from Intel’s Granite Rapids-WS lineup have reportedly leaked, with the top-end Xeon 698X model likely to feature 128 cores, beating AMD’s 96-core flagship Threadripper 9995WX. Intel’s “extreme” tier Xeon CPUs are gunning for the top spot after years of stagnation.
