Intel NUC 9 Extreme (Ghost Canyon) Review

3DMark

3DMark puts the NUC 9 Extreme at the top of our overall chart by way of its CPU advantage versus the i7 9750H-equipped laptop.

The signs continue to point to AMD’s Ryzen 9 4900HS being a more powerful CPU but the RTX 2060 Max-Q of the ASUS Zephyrus G14 cannot keep pace on the graphics side of the equation.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
