AMD silicon arguably got here first: Strix Halo mini PCs and laptops were shipping with 128GB of unified memory well before NVIDIA entered the picture. But the local-AI desktop as a category is one NVIDIA effectively created when it put a Grace Blackwell superchip in a one-liter box and called it DGX Spark. The pitch

Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265K sits in the middle of the Arrow Lake-S desktop stack, pairing 20 cores with a much larger architectural change than you might expect. The layout consists of 8 Lion Cove P-cores and 12 Skymont E-cores, for 20 cores and 20 threads, with Hyper-Threading removed in this generation. The P-cores have

Most RMM (remote monitoring and management) platforms are very good at telling you something broke, but not much help with actually fixing it. Aipex, a clean-sheet, AI-first product from Tassient, is built to do both. Ask it in plain English why a machine crashed, and it will read the dump, name the kernel driver responsible,

Intel’s return to boxed workstation processors arrived on February 2, 2026, when the company announced the Xeon 600 series, codenamed Granite Rapids-WS, with retail parts reaching shelves in late March. The launch folded the old Xeon W-2500 and W-3500 lines into a single family of 11 SKUs on the new W890 chipset and LGA4710 socket,

For most of the last decade, the high-core workstation conversation has been largely led by AMD. Threadripper PRO pushed core counts, cache, and PCIe lanes past what Intel’s Xeon-W line could offer; the prior Xeon-W flagship topped out at 60 cores, while AMD kept climbing. Intel’s Xeon 600 series, launched in February of this year,

The HighPoint Rocket 1604L is a $399 PCIe Gen5 x16 add-in card that carries four M.2 NVMe SSDs, each on a dedicated Gen5 x4 connection. In our testing with four Samsung 9100 PRO 4TB drives installed, the card sustained 55.6GB/s of 128K sequential read bandwidth and 10.1 million 4K random write IOPS, numbers that are

The Kioxia CD9P-R is the read-intensive arm of the company’s new data center NVMe SSD generation, and the first CD-series drive built on BiCS FLASH generation 8 TLC. The series pairs Kioxia’s own controller and firmware with PCIe 5.0 and NVMe 2.0, with rated performance reaching 14,800 MB/s sequential read and 2.6 million random read

HPE has built a coordinated cyber resilience architecture around the Alletra Storage MP B10000. It extends the platform’s native security capabilities through an integrated stack that includes virtualization with Morpheus and VM Essentials, continuous data protection with Zerto, long-term backup retention with StoreOnce, and observability via vendor-agnostic security information and event management (SIEM) integration. Taken

Although Dell’s PowerEdge R4715 and R5715 are two separate products, they should be viewed as a configurable matrix. The matrix includes two chassis, four AMD EPYC 9005 Series CPU options, a wide range of storage configurations, and the full Dell management and support ecosystem. The combination is purpose-built for SMB organizations that need to match
