Copper cooling mod nearly doubles MacBook Neo gaming FPS

ETA Prime shows that a copper-plating upgrade over the Neo’s CPU plus an external thermoelectric cooler can dramatically boost gaming on the $599 MacBook Neo: temps fall from about 105°C to the mid‑80s, No Man’s Sky rises from ~30fps to ~60fps, and idle temps drop into the 20s with load in the 70s; the modifications fit inside the original chassis, can yield roughly a 15% Geekbench uplift, and some titles may reach near‑100fps with the framerate unlocked, though others remain challenging.

AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition Packs 208MB Cache Across Two Dies

AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition stacks 64MB of 3D V-Cache on each of its two CPU dies, for a total of 208MB, delivering up to ~10% higher gaming and cache-sensitive performance than the 9950X3D. The chip clocks up to 5.6 GHz, has a 200W TDP, and is expected to carry a higher price than the vanilla 9950X3D, with an April 22 launch and full overclocking support including AMD’s tuning tools.

Intel's Arrow Lake Refresh Adds Two Powerful, Price-Friendly Core Ultra CPUs

Intel’s Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus bring more cores, higher clocks, and improved efficiency with DDR5 memory support and Binary Optimization Technology. They deliver strong multi‑threaded and content‑creation performance, compete well on efficiency, and offer solid value in gaming where titles vary. The LGA‑1851 platform remains, with no new motherboard necessary beyond a BIOS update; the 270K Plus targets demanding workloads (starting around $299) and the 250K Plus sits in the upper mainstream (starting around $199).

MacBook Air 13 M5 Delivers Sub-10W Gaming Power

Apple's MacBook Air 13 with the base M5 SoC remains exceptionally energy-efficient in gaming, drawing about 7–8 watts and delivering playable frame rates (around 19–20 fps at 1080p ultra in Cyberpunk 2077) thanks to its passive cooling. The Air 13 under sustained workloads throttles to roughly 8W, while the overall system consumption stays around 19W—making it one of the most efficient laptops in Notebookcheck's database, though the M5 in higher-end MacBook Pro 14 configurations offers more performance at higher power use.

AMD's Ryzen 7 9850X3D bows in at $499, shipping Jan 29

AMD has announced the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, an 8-core/16-thread CPU that uses 3D V-cache to pack 104MB of L2/L3 cache, a 120W TDP, and a boost up to 5.6GHz. It will be available January 29 for $499 and, AMD claims, delivers about 27% faster gaming performance than Intel's Core Ultra 9 285k, making it a more affordable alternative to higher-end X3D models (like the $700 9950X3D).

AMD Bets Ryzen AI MAX and 400/300 to Undercut Panther Lake Across Segments

AMD frames its Ryzen AI MAX as the premier halo platform that it says will outperform Intel’s Panther Lake Core Ultra Series 3 in high-end tasks, while Ryzen AI 400/300 are pitched as leaders in mainstream and entry-level laptops thanks to stronger iGPUs and more threads. The company also disputes some CES-era Intel claims on graphics, power efficiency, and scaling, noting that only reviews in the coming days will reveal the true competitive standings across content creation, gaming, and AI workloads.

4K Linux gaming duel: SteamOS vs Windows 11 on a flagship AMD rig

YouTuber ETA Prime built an all-AMD PC (Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RX 7900 XTX, 32 GB DDR5) and dual-booted Windows 11 Pro and SteamOS 3.7.17 to run Cyberpunk 2077, Borderlands 4, Forza Horizon 5, Spider-Man 2, and Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4K Ultra. Results vary by title: Cyberpunk 2077 nearly identical (84 FPS Windows 11 vs 85 FPS SteamOS), Borderlands 4 favors Windows (74 vs 69), Forza Horizon 5 favors Windows (191 vs 157), Spider-Man 2 edges SteamOS (111 vs 103), and Red Dead Redemption 2 leads Windows (96 vs 88). The test highlights that Linux/SteamOS gaming is viable today but performance is game-dependent, with a dual-boot setup offering flexibility to choose the best-performing OS per title while preserving Windows ecosystem access.
