Key Takeaways Maxsun unveiled the new Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual GPU video card, featuring two 24GB Pro B60 GPUs. It features a blower-style fan, ideal for building complex workstations with multiple cards. Although the pricing isn’t made public yet, we expect it to be around $1,000, which can be a competition-killer. Remember the good old CrossFire days when you could hook up multiple AMD GPUs to achieve higher performance? Well, those days might be returning thanks to the new Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual GPU launched by Maxsun at Computex. It PCIe features two 24GB GPUs in a single card, meaning you can get 48 GB of GPU memory. What’s incredible here is that the Arc Pro B60 only needs 8 PCIe lanes, unlike some high-end GPUs that need 16. However, you’ll need an X16 motherboard/CPU combo that supports PCIe bifurcation. In that case, the entire x16 slot can be split into two x8 connections. Interestingly, the Arc Pro B60 isn’t marketed as a gaming GPU – it’s meant primarily for workstations that require high computing power for tasks such as rendering, animations, moderate AI development, 3D modelling, etc. This is why it features a unique blower-like fan instead of the typical open-air fan we see in gaming CPUs. Unlike open-air fans that spread the heat out inside the case, a blower-style fan works like a hairdryer by pushing the heat out from the inside of the case. While the cooling efficiency of a blower fan might be lower on a single GPU, they turn out to be more effective in stacks, which is exactly what the Arc Pro B60 is meant for. So, if you’re building a workstation with 3 Arc Pro B60s, a blower-style fan ensures all 6 GPUs can be cooled without overwhelming the entire setup, making it better for ‘stacking.’ Comeback of Multi-GPU Setups Multi-GPU setups were quite the thing back in the day. We’re sure that a couple of die-hard builders in our team would serve up puppy eyes thinking about hooking up two 16GB GPUs to get more power. However, despite the widespread belief that you would get double the performance, memory was only enhanced by 30-50%. Still, these CrossFire setups served the purpose, i.e., gamers could play resource-intensive games. It’s worth noting that such dual-GPU setups faded away with the rapid development of newer GPUs. In short, single GPUs became powerful enough to overshadow dual GPUs. Eventually, a lot of applications and games stopped supporting CrossFire setups. With the new Intel Arc Pro B60, dual GPUs might make a mini-comeback. They’re not returning to the gaming arena, but to data centers, workstations, and AI setups. NVIDIA hasn’t promoted this in a long time, pushing its expensive GPUs into the market instead. This is also precisely where Intel wants to punch harder – the price point. Although we’re still waiting for the exact details on the Intel Arc Pro B60 dual GPU setup price, experts believe it could be priced around $1,000-$1,200. To get the same 48 GB of VRAM, you might have to spend $5,000-6,000 with models like the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada. Of course, there will be performance differences between the two, too, but getting at-par VRAM is the first step of the process. Honestly, if power-intensive workspaces are able to get 48 GB of VRAM at 70-80% less cost, this dual GPU setup can become a market killer. In other news, Intel has also announced Project Battlematrix – a solution that supports AI workloads that can combine up to eight Intel Arc Pro GPUs in a system, with 192 GB of VRAM. The company seems to be working hard on the workstation and data processing industry – something NVIDIA and AMD haven’t catered to explicitly yet. This could give Intel a first-mover advantage. If it can achieve comparable performance with some modern NVIDIA chips, the new Intel Arc Pro B60 can revive the Blue team.

In a nutshell: The latest leak suggests that the upcoming RTX 5080 Super could receive a significant upgrade in the memory department. If the information holds true, we're looking at a consumer graphics card featuring 24 GB of cutting-edge GDDR7 memory, 10,752 CUDA cores, and a power draw exceeding 400 watts. The RTX 5080 Super is likely to use denser 24 Gb (3 GB) GDDR7 modules, allowing Nvidia to maintain the same 256-bit memory bus as the standard RTX 5080 while fitting in 24 GB of VRAM. That's a 50 percent increase in capacity, which should be ideal for higher-resolution textures, demanding 3D workloads, and future-proofing against increasingly memory-intensive games. For additional context, the 24 GB configuration mirrors what we've already seen in the RTX 5090 Mobile GPU, which also uses these denser memory modules. And with memory clocked at 32 Gbps, the 5080 Super could reach a massive 1 TB/s of memory bandwidth – slightly faster than the vanilla 5080. Interestingly, the core specs might remain unchanged. Like the standard RTX 5080, the Super variant is rumored to use the GB203 die with the same 10,752 CUDA cores. That's unusual for a "Super" refresh, which traditionally boosts both memory and processing power. However, Nvidia may be reserving more substantial upgrades for future models or aiming to maintain clearer segmentation across its product lines. Some rumors suggest the RTX 5080 Super could deliver a performance uplift of seven percent to 15 percent over the base 5080, thanks primarily to faster memory and potentially higher clock speeds. According to sources from board partners, these Super models have been in testing for months, though pricing concerns may have delayed an official launch. // Related Stories No pricing or release date has been confirmed yet, but based on historical trends, the RTX 5080 Super could retail between $1,000 and $1,500 – assuming Nvidia doesn't surprise consumers with another MSRP hike. Then again, in today's GPU market, MSRP often feels more like a wish than a promise.

Without any sign of that rumored Xbox handheld, the Computex computing conference in Taipei, Taiwan has been missing out on what’s now one of the best avenues for gaming on the go—handheld PCs. MSI is now posing as the lone figure promoting a whole new class of handhelds with the Claw A8. It’s a device that looks very, very close to what we’ve seen before—even in blinding lime green—but it may offer a glimpse of what’s in store for handhelds beyond the Nintendo Switch 2, even though we still don’t know how much it will cost. The Claw A8 comes in two colors—a white and a very, very green hue. The shell looks familiar if you’ve seen MSI’s other handhelds, and if you didn’t know the device contained an 8-inch 120Hz IPS display with variable refresh rate, you may have assumed it was the original Asus ROG Ally or even a white version of the Claw 7 A1M. Unlike last year’s Claw 8 AI+, the new handheld includes more severe, squared-off edges. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s uncomfortable. MSI said it designed the device’s underside grips to make it easier to hold while still letting your fingers reach the front thumbsticks and face buttons. The Claw A8’s controls include Hall effect joysticks, which should make the device last longer without the usual fear of stick drift. © MSI The other big difference between this device and last year’s iteration is the CPU. The Claw A8 is one of the few of its kind confirmed to house an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme. That chip is a sequel to the Ryzen Z1, one of the most-used handheld CPUs from the last two years. The new CPU is built on the chipmaker’s Zen 5 microarchitecture, bringing it in line with AMD’s latest family of Strix Point laptop CPUs. It’s also supposed to offer far better graphics potential than its predecessor. We’ve seen the chip running with a few games on an early version of the Lenovo Legion Go 2, but without our own tests, we can only speculate on just how much better it will be over similar devices you can buy today. MSI’s Claw A8 is a confusing name if you’ve heard of the company’s previous flagship handheld, the Claw 8 AI+. That device was a beast in terms of performance, not the least because it contained an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, a full laptop CPU that used Intel’s Arc 140V graphics. That meant the device was far more hefty than the competition, but it offered solid performance for its $1,000 price (the cost has gone up since release, but you’ll be lucky to find it available anyway). The Claw 8 AI+ also holds the edge in memory compared to the A8. The new handheld has a max of 24GB of RAM with a slower 8,000MHz speed compared to the 8 AI+’s 8,533MHz. At least the squatter handheld will weigh a little less than the last generation’s bulky frame. MSI moving to AMD It seems less a betrayal and more an acknowledgement that there’s a benefit to a dedicated gaming CPU designed specifically for a device of this size. A laptop chip is simply built to handle more productivity tasks. Intel also seems to know it’s missing out on this space. The chipmaker recently told Laptop Mag it was working on handheld-specific CPUs. There hasn’t been too much news about gaming handhelds in the months following CES 2025 in January. Lenovo opened up the year with the Legion Go S, a lower-powered handheld with Windows 11, and the still-unreleased Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme. That device with its brand-specific AMD Ryzen Z2 Go chip didn’t knock our socks off, especially for its price, but we have a feeling a lower price that edges closer to the $550 Steam Deck OLED, combined with the console-like experience of SteamOS, will make it a much better handheld experience. That Legion Go S with SteamOS should be available May 25 for $600 with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The gaming elephant still stomping around this crowded room is the Nintendo Switch 2. Those who want to get into Nintendo’s sequel system for $450 may not want to drop even more money on a separate handheld. Nintendo’s impending June 5 release date seems like a good excuse for both Asus and Lenovo to hold off on a more expensive, more powerful console until later. We should hear more about pricing in the following months. By that time, we’ll be so overwhelmed with handhelds we’ll need to grow more hands to try them all.

Nvidia reportedly has an RTX 5080 Super in the making that ups the memory capacity by 50% over the base model from 16GB to 24GB.

Alongside the now live Amazon Memorial Day sale and $100 price drops on iPad mini 7 (select configs are actually $110 off now), today we are starting off with the return $100 discounts on M3 iPad Air models and all four colors of the most affordable iPad (A16) back down at $299. And to go along with all of those iPads, we are also featuring some solid price drops on the Apple Pencil Pro lineup with deals starting from $66 and as much as $62 in savings. Everything else awaits below including the Eve Siri smart lamp and this AirTag alternative at $10. Back in late April Amazon knocked $100 off just about every single model in the latest M3 iPad Air lineup to deliver new all-time low prices. Since then pricing has started to jump back up on select models, but this morning the deals have returned on select configs and colorways – the 13-inch lineup is seeing $100 price drops across most storage configurations, while options at $100 off on the 11-inch family are drawing thin. Get a closer look down below. While you’re obviously going to go after which ever size, storage capacity, and color you like most, you also can’t really go wrong with any of them at $100 off. We wanted to highlight the mid-range 13-inch 256GB M3 iPad Air model that has now returned to the $799 Amazon low in Space Gray. This is $100 off the regular $899 list price and only the second time we have seen it down this low at Amazon – this is matching the best new price we have tracked there. You’re next best option on this config is the Best Buy open-box unit in “excellent” condition at $762.99 shipped, or $136 off the going rate. It ships with an Apple warranty and comes in at $36 under the brand-new deal price at Amazon – this is may or may not be worth the savings for you personally, but it is a lower price tag from a reputable source. Now let’s rundown the rest of the models you can still score the $100 discount on in brand-new condition right now: 11-inch M3 iPad Air 256GB from $599 (Reg. $699) 13-inch M3 iPad Air 128GB from $699 (Reg. $799) 13-inch M3 iPad Air 256GB from $799 (Reg. $899) 13-inch M3 iPad Air 512GB from $999 (Reg. $1,099) Current-gen open-box Apple Pencils up to $62 off: Pro, 2nd Gen, and USB-C, or brand-new at nearly 25% off As part of its Memorial Day sale, Amazon is continuing to offering the latest Apple Pencil Pro down at $99 shipped. This is nearly 25% off the $129 list and on par with the best new price we have tracked this year and the lowest we have seen since a couple very brief Black Friday offers at $95. That said, there is a notable Best Buy open-box offer you can take advantage of to score it for even less. After stock on Apple Pencil Pro started to get dicey on Amazon over the holidays last year, it has mostly returned and has remained readily available. This leaves the $99 new price as a solid offer at closer to 25% off, but for folks who don’t mind taking the open-box route on “excellent” condition units can grab one for less than that. We did see a very short-lived offer at Woot for an open-box Apple Pencil Pro at $80, but some folks might feel more comfortable going with Best Buy anyway, and its “excellent” units are now selling for $85.99 shipped. They are said to work and look like new and include an official 1-year Apple warranty. Here’s how the best Best Buy open-box deals across the Apple Pencil lineup look right now – you’ll also find a quick reminder of the iPad models they are each compatible with as well: Open-box Apple Pencil Pro $86 (Reg. $129) iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and M3) iPad Air 11-inch (M2 and M3) iPad mini (A17 Pro) Open-box Apple Pencil 2 $67 (Reg. $129) iPad mini (6th generation) iPad Air (4th or 5th generation) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th generation) iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation) Open-box Apple Pencil USB-C $66 (Reg. $79) iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th generation) iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and M3) iPad Air 11-inch (M2 and M3) iPad Air (4th or 5th generation) iPad (A16) iPad (10th generation) iPad mini (A17 Pro) iPad mini (6th generation) Update: While we did see the yellow and pink colorways very briefly drop to $278 or so, those deals were very short-lived and never landed on the silver and blue options. All four colorways are now back down at $299 shipped via Amazon. Details below in the original post. Previously limited to just the blue and yellow colors, Amazon is now offering all four shades of Apple’s new iPad (A16) down at the $299 shipped all-time low. It might not be the powerful M4 iPad Pro or the M3 series iPad Air (also now at all-time low pricing), but this is a brand new iPad that just released a couple months ago at under $300. You’ll now find all four colorways of the base model 11-inch iPad running on the A16 chip with a Liquid Retina Display, 12MP front and back cameras, Touch ID, and 128GB of storage down at $299. That’s $50 off the regular $349 list price and the lowest we have tracked to date. Today’s deals mark the first time we have seen all four models at under $320 anywhere online. 128GB iPad (A16) from $299 (Reg. $349) 256GB iPad (A16) from $399 (Reg. $449) 512GB iPad (A16) from $599 (Reg. $649) The same thing goes for the upgraded 256GB and 512GB models that are both now $50 off in all four colorways. These are the same prices we have been tracking lately on these two, but again, you’ll now find all four colorways in-stock at the discounted rate. For some, the new iPad A16 is just too underpowered to consider, despite the particularly notable price we are featuring here today, and we get it. For others however – those that just never use Apple Intelligence anyway and just need a casual tablet experience for couch browsing, video chatting, and road trips – it’s a chance to score a brand new iPad release for a whole lot less. This is $100 under the best deal we have ever tracked on the iPad mini 7 and $200 below the current all-time low we are tracking on the most affordable M3 iPad Air. Our launch coverage over at 9to5Mac details the new iPad (A16) completely. Early Memorial Day deals usher in up to $110 price drops on latest iPad mini 7, matching all-time lows from $399 Best Buy 2025 Memorial Day sale now live! Apple, Samsung, up to $1,200 off appliances, LEGO, bonus credits, more Amazon’s early Memorial Day sale now live: Up to 50% off headphones, buds, speakers, tumblers, fitness, and much more As part of its Memorial Day sale, Amazon has once again dropped the Siri-controlled Eve Flare portable lamp down to $69.95 shipped. This wireless HomeKit light carries a regular $100 list price and is now seeing a solid 30% price drop to deliver the lowest price we can find. We have seen this light drop to $75 a few times over the last year so, but we are now looking at a price on par with the lowest we have tracked on Amazon, matching last year’s Black Friday and holiday price. One of my personal favorite products in the category, the Eve Flare is a smart portable orb lamp that neatly integrates into the rest of your HomeKit setup at home, but can also be moved out onto the porch or taken on-the-go tether free. Use the carry-and-hang handle to transport it easily to your terrace, living room, bedroom, kids room, bathroom, kitchen or on your table in your office. Features include Siri control, Thread support (plus Bluetooth connectivity), 6 hours of wireless operation time per charge, and your choice of millions of different colors. No Eve cloud or registration needed here – it is strictly local intelligence and direct communication without bridge or cloud dependency, you can customize the experience via “iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Siri, the onboard button, or HomeKit scene.” Today’s accessories and charging deals: Apple’s latest USB-C AirPods Max now nearly $80 off for Memorial Day, or up to $130 off open-box w/ 1-yr. warranty As part of the Amazon Memorial Day sale, and just after the highly-anticipated launch of the new Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, you’ll now find Apple’s latest USB-C AirPods Max over-ear headphones marked down to $479.99 shipped. Regularly $549, this is on par with our previous mention at nearly $80 off the list price. Head below for more details and a chance to save even more on some open-box listing. Reports from over the weekend sourced from a trusted Apple analysts suggest the AirPods hardware upgrades might not be coming until next year, with a proper AirPods Max revision getting potentially held off until sometime in 2027. That’s not great news for fans of Apple’s premium over-ears, but it does also mean that an investment now will leave you with Apple’s latest and greatest for a couple years or so. While we did see a short-lived opportunity earlier this year to land a set at $99 off, they do no often drop below the $480 we are seeing here today – all of the latest USB-C colors are now on sale. We are also tracking some opportunities to save on almost all of the latest USB-C colorways in “excellent” open-box condition courtesy of Best Buy. They are said to work and look like new with a full 1-year Apple warranty included. Midnight $446 (Reg. $549 new) Blue $441 (Reg. $549 new) Purple $446 (Reg. $549 new) Starlight $437 (Reg. $549 new) Orange $419 (Reg. $549 new) Anyone buying a new set of over-ear headphones right now should definitely have the new Sony WH-1000XM6on their radar. After getting a chance to test them out ahead of the world wide debut last week, I can confidently say they are easily the most exciting release in the headphone world for some time. They are now available for purchase and all of the details you need are waiting right here. Rare deal knocks Apple’s latest USB-C Magic Mouse down to $68 shipped today Today we are tracking one of only a couple good chances we have seen to save some cash on the latest USB-C Apple Magic Mouse down at $67.99 shipped via Amazon. Regularly $79, this is nearly 15% off, the best we can find, and a relatively rare opportunity to save on the latest model via Amazon. There was an extremely short-lived offer at $64 previously, but it came and went so fast even we didn’t even get a chance to take advantage. Today’s deal is otherwise on par with the lowest we have tracked at Amazon and is effectively matching the best price yet. The black model, which features a premium at $99 from Apple, is not seeing any notable deals today. While the latest Magic Mouse is, for the most part, identical to the previous Lightning model, folks looking to shed their setups of the older Apple connectivity standard can do so at a discount here today. On the bottom of the model on sale right now, you’ll find a modern USB-C jack so you can juice it back up when needed with one of the many cables you already have laying around. I have tried more than a few times to test out other mice from other brands, many of which on the recommendation of friends and colleagues, but for me it’s the Magic Mouse all the way. There’s just something about the smooth gesture control that has just become part of my daily routine and almost an extension of my person at this point – outside of the fact that you can’t charge it while you’re using it, the Apple Magic Mouse is perfect for me. Apple’s 13-inch 24GB M4 MacBook Air drops again, now starting at new $1,229 Amazon all-time low ($170 off) Pricing on the new Apple M4 MacBook Air continues to fluctuate as we ready for the weekend – most configurations are still at the $150 off mark, but others have been bouncing in and around there. That said, Amazon just dropped the Midnight 13-inch 24GB M4 MacBook Air down to its best price ever at $1,229 shipped – that’s $170 off. Regularly $1,300, we are looking at the upgraded 13-inch model here with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD at $1,229 in the Midnight colorway – this is an Amazon all-time low. We are also tracking the new Sky Blue model with 24GB of RAM at better than $150 off with a $1,243.99 sale price while the Starlight is selling for $1,245.26 – both very close to the short-lived all-time lows at Amazon. Again you will still find the most affordable variant marked down from the regular $999 to $849 in most colors right now, and, now carrying 16GB of RAM, it is a great buy. But for folks looking for that upgraded investment with more breathing room into the future, this is easily among the best chances we have seen to score the 24GB model online since release a little over 2 months ago. Twelve South’s 3-in-1 15W HiRise 3 Deluxe MagSafe charger still at $100 Amazon low folks Score a regularly $299 set of Bose’s flagship QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds down at $169 (Refurb, full warranty) The new Sony XM6 headphones are here, and Amazon just knocked $100+ off the current-gen XM5 earbuds Land the Sony XM4 or XM5 headphones at up to $222 less than the new XM6 with today’s deals Sony just officially launched the long-awaited new XM6: The world’s ‘best noise cancelling headphones’ Add 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.  FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
