PC Hardware news wrap up

— The upcoming Intel Core i9-11900K saw early benchmarks leaked via Ashes of The Singularity. The new CPU will feature 8 cores and 16 threads. It will also have a 3.50 GHz base block, 16 MB of L3 cache, and 4 MB of L2 cache.

— The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti launched this week. And though it was expected to have more stock, it doesn’t seem like it’s been easier to find a card.

— For those still looking for a GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics card, a developer named Jef LeCompete has created a bot to track the available stock across numerous outlets. The bot is streaming updates in real time on Twitch, and gives audio alerts when cards are in stock.

— PC Invasion review: The EPOS GSX 300 External Sound Card is a straightforward USB audio interface made for gaming that falls short other areas.

— Pimax is launching its new 5K Super virtual reality headset. The headset is the only one on the market that can reach a refresh rate of 180Hz, though it requires enabling an experimental mode. The standard refresh rate on the device is still an impressive 160Hz.

— After originally being unveiled at CES 2020, Razer is finally releasing its Razer Tomahawk Gaming Desktop to consumers. The small-factor PC features an Intel Core i9-9980HK as well as an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition graphics card. If you don’t want the included RTX 3080, you can buy a version that comes with an open PCIe x16 slot for the GPU of your choice.
