Intel spent months building up to the Xeon 6+ launch, its answer to AMD’s data-center CPU gains and the chip meant to prove Intel 18A could compete on Intel’s home turf: the server room. Instead, the reveal landed on the same Computex 2026 stage where Nvidia unveiled its first PC processor, and nobody outside the…
Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal turn 27 this year, and they’re still some of the most-emulated games on the internet — but most tutorials point players toward multi-system cores that treat the Game Boy Color as an afterthought. SameBoy takes the opposite approach. It’s a dedicated GB/GBC emulator built around T-cycle accurate timing, sample-accurate audio,…
Three Android emulators just landed on wildly different points of the Android version timeline, and the gap says a lot about where PC gaming on Android apps is headed. MuMu Player 6.0, which NetEase’s MuMu team pushed out on July 7, 2026, is the only mainstream PC emulator running Android 15. LDPlayer 14, from developer…
Buy a game once. Play it on a console, a PC, and a handheld without paying twice. That is the pitch behind Xbox Play Anywhere, and by August 2026 it has quietly become one of the largest cross-platform ownership programs in gaming history. Independent trackers put the supported library above 2,300 titles, Microsoft’s own list…
Cemu turned a decade-old Nintendo console into one of the best-preserved libraries in emulation. The Wii U sold poorly and Nintendo stopped making games for it years ago, but the emulator built to run its software has quietly become one of the most polished projects in the hobby. As of August 2026, the current stable…
The AI model landscape spent most of 2024 and 2025 fixated on flagship chatbots chasing bigger context windows and higher benchmark scores. By August 2026, a quieter fight is reshaping how AI actually reaches people: small language models built to run entirely on a phone, laptop, or embedded chip, with no cloud call and no…
The Steam Deck doesn’t ship with a dock in the box, and neither does the ROG Xbox Ally X, the Legion Go 2, or the MSI Claw 8. Valve wants $89.99 for its official accessory. Anker sells one for as little as $29.99. Between them sit JSAUX and UGREEN, both chasing the same shelf space…
Sony’s PS5 Pro now carries a US sticker price of roughly $699.99, unchanged from its original 2024 launch price, while the standard PS5 Slim sits at $499.99 for the disc model and around $449.99 digital-only. That $200-$250 gap is exactly why so many PS5 Slim owners are stuck deciding whether the upgrade is worth it,…
The Commodore 64 sold somewhere between 12.5 million and 17 million units during its production run, and in 2026 more people are running C64 software than at almost any point since the machine went out of production in 1994. That’s thanks to three emulators that have taken very different approaches to recreating a 1982 8-bit…
Nintendo shut the doors on 3DS eShop purchases years ago, and secondhand 3DS consoles now sell for more than some used iPhones. That price squeeze is why Folium, a paid App Store emulator built by independent developer Jarrod Norwell, has become the go-to way for iPhone owners to replay Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha…
