Intel's Core i9 and Skylake-X parts deliver up to 18 cores on the desktop

Intel has been accused of incrementalism in the CPU worldthe idea that the company is holding back in order to increase profits and stretch out upgrades. Whether that's true is sort of irrelevant, though if it is, I can only wonder what would have happened to AMD in the past decade. The harsh reality of microprocessor design is that it becomes increasingly more difficult to improve performance each succeeding generation. I discussed some of the reasons behind this in our Processors 101 overview of pipelining and superscalar architectures. Today, Intel takes the shrink-wrap off its latest and greatest collection of CPUs, the Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X line of enthusiast processors, all of which will run on the Basin Falls platform, which includes the X299 chipset and socket LGA2066.

Shares of Nvidia hit a fresh record high in early Tuesday trading, the 69th record high logged by the stock in a year's time.

Editorial: Monster Hunter and Nintendo Switch Are a Match Made in Heaven

While we don't yet know whether Capcom and Nintendo are continuing the relationship of 'main' series entries being exclusive to the big N's hardware with the inevitable Monster Hunter 5 (other systems do have alternatives and spin-offs), fans of the series have something to be thrilled about with confirmation of Monster Hunter XX coming to the Nintendo Switch. On 3DS this has been a Japan-only release, an expansion / follow-on to Monster Hunter X (Cross) (a game released as Monster Hunter Generations in the West). Though it's currently unclear, I think it's a reasonable bet that this will make the transition to the West, albeit with a Generations-based name or similar branding. The Switch is hot right now, and Capcom will surely want to embrace the opportunity to target the system's growing global audience. Time will tell, in any case.

Samsung Galaxy Mega

As I mentioned in my post on the Attack on the Cybermen DVD, the doctor Who audio lays from Big Finish Productions have really given Colin Baker a chance to shine. The quality of writing on the audios allows Baker to demonstrate precisely what he could carried out if he received material this good to work with on the actual television show in the mid-1980s.
