Nvidia’s $400 GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a winner—we called it a “flawlessly constructed” 1440p GPU in our comprehensive review. But the cooling system around it matters. We also noted that while Nvidia’s radical new “flow-through” Founders Edition cooler tamed the GPU effectively enough, it isn’t nearly as potent in this smaller iteration as it is with the massive GeForce RTX 3090.

While there are many factors that can go into PC purchase decisions, performance still ranks as the top concern for companies of all sizes.

Just three weeks after Apple knocked it out of the park with its Arm-based M1 chip, you might have thought Qualcomm would have something to say about its own Arm chips for PCs at its yearly Snapdragon Tech Summit. It didn’t. The company’s silence suggests that the refreshed Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G announced in September is not going to swing for the fences itself.Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Compute processors are the foundation for Windows on Arm. The company entered the market aggressively in 2018
