Just as promised, the Overwatch 2 multiplayer beta went live last week. We're still a year or so away from release, but the game is in a playable state and there is a small amount of new content to boot, including new maps and a new hero. The game is now 5v5 instead of 6v6, removing one tank character from each team, the biggest balance change to Overwatch since its inception. With all of that in mind, is there enough here to justify a full sequel, or should this have been a revamp for the original Overwatch instead?

Despite the lack of official overclocking support, it is possible to BCLK overclock a Ryzen 7 5800X3D.

Fortnite launched as a fledgling Battle Royale game, and for years Epic Games consistently added new content to an ever-evolving title. They needed to do this because, to be frank, Fortnite fundamentally did not feel good to play. Fortunately, between its launch in 2017 and now, Epic Games have fixed all of these flaws, making for a game that is not only content rich, but actually good...

There was concern over Intel's Arc Mobile GPU launch this week, as few OEMs have begun announcing new laptops with Arc graphics equipped.

When Intel launched its Arc Alchemist mobile GPU line-up, availability for Arc 3 powered laptops wasn't supposed to be far behind. However, there has been a weird absence of new laptops. Now, it looks like the first Intel Arc A-series laptops won't be available for quite some time.

You may know by now that Intel's mobile discrete GPU offerings are based on two distinct units: the ACM-G10 with 32 Xe-cores and ACM-G11 with 8 Xe-cores. However, it seems there will be a third unit, presumably called ACM-G12, with 16 Xe-cores.
