When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.

Nvidia and AMD have launched their new graphics cards and we are all set for gaming in 2025, however there have been some shocks along the way. Naturally we expected Nvidia would soak us for a fortune but who would have predicted that Nvidia RTX 50-series would turn out to be an utter disaster? Or that AMD RX 9070 XT looks good? Wow!

Leo goes over no less than FIVE ASRock Z890 motherboards!

2024 has been a busy year. It feels like CES 2024 took place about three years ago and Computex - a mere six months ago - is ancient history. You have to think long and hard to recall that yes, Nvidia 40-series Super did indeed arrive in 2024. This is my video about my recollections of the year and that pretty much boils down to CPUs and motherboards.

Looking for a good value X870 board that still offers solid features?

It's a great X870E board, but does Leo think it's worth the £600 asking price?

The launch of the new Intel Core Ultra 200S family of CPUs along with Z890 motherboards was a thorny process. KitGuru suffered along with pretty much every other review site on the planet and you may have noticed we held off from reviewing of the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 5 245K as it is clear to us that Intel has some work to do before this platform is ready for action.

At long last, the 9800X3D is here and it is the king of gaming processors

KitGuru has done a heap of testing with AMD Zen 5 CPUs and each time we think we have finished we seem to start testing all over again. After our initial CPU reviews we got news from AMD about the impact of Windows 11 24H2 and once we had checked that out we  decided to compare every generation of AMD Zen, starting with Ryzen 7 1800X and coming right up to date with Ryzen 7 9700X.

In the past few weeks KitGuru has reviewed four AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs. Then, just as things were calming down, AMD told us about a Windows 11 Update that would - apparently - transform the performance of their new Zen 5 technology.
