Anandtech: Intel’s Tiger Lake 11th Gen Core i7-1185G7 Review and Deep Dive: Baskin’ for the Exotic
The big notebook launch for Intel this year is Tiger Lake, its upcoming 10nm platform designed to pair a new graphics architecture with a nice high frequency for the performance that customers in this space require. Over the past few weeks, we’ve covered the microarchitecture as presented by Intel at its latest Intel Architecture Day 2020, as well as the formal launch of the new platform in early September. The missing piece of the puzzle was actually testing it, to see if it can match the very progressive platform currently offered by AMD’s Ryzen Mobile. Today is that review, with one of Intel’s reference design laptops.

TechPowerUp: ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC Review
The ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC comes with a small factory overclock and a huge cooler that achieves amazing temperatures that are much better than the NVIDIA Founders Edition. The TUF also features a dual BIOS with a "quiet" mode that makes this 4K monster card almost silent.

TechPowerUp: MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio Review
The GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio is MSI's flagship RTX 3080. It comes with a large overclock out of the box, and the cooler is massive. This is the fastest RTX 3080 we've tested so far, and it's the quietest as well. Wow, and that with a classic triple-fan design that doesn't use any fancy airflow magic.

OverclockersClub: MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X TRIO Review
Today OCC takes a look at the MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X TRIO. For everyone else who either has an RTX 2080 or even a GTX 1080 Ti, will find this price point extremely tempting given that it is nearly a 65% uplift in frame-rate for most games comparatively. Switch over to Ray-Tracing performance and its 50% to 80% increase just for the RTX 2080 alone. Many users rely on DLSS to achieve a playable frame-rate, but now with the RTX 3080, it's faster in many games without DLSS than what the RTX 2080 could do with it enabled. Think about that for a minute. The performance gained is tremendous!

TechPowerUp: Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Pro OC Review
The Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Pro OC is a close-to-reference Ampere graphics card even though it looks nothing like the Founders Edition. The triple-slot, triple-fan cooler on the Gaming Pro features fan stop and runs slightly cooler than the NVIDIA Founders Edition.
