Star Wars Battlefront is arguably one of the most eagerly anticipated games ever. Now that the beta has arrived, Guru3D test just about every currently available GPU to see how they perform.

The SSD review test 3 of Intel's 750 series U.2 NVMe drives in RAID. How does 5GB/s and 750k IOPS sound? Considering we have three 1.2TB 750s on hand, a few RAID tests were in order and we thought we might compile a bit of a report to get these numbers out.

The Chinese government has acted on a request from the US government to arrest hackers they believe are responsible for recent cyber attacks. The action came a week or two before President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Washington late last month. The hackers had been identified by U.S. officials as having stolen commercial secrets from U.S. firms to be sold or passed along to Chinese state-run companies.

The top comment on this 4K youtube video says it all: Fantastic perspective of the size and mass of the Andromeda Galaxy, just one galaxy amongst the billions of galaxies. Definitely worth the watch of this 3 & 1/2 minute video.
