Windows Central: XPG's Xenia 14 is the best laptop so far from the new PC brand
It's lighter than LG's gram and it has a very competitive price. The Xenia 14 is an all-around impressive 14-inch Ultrabook that shows XPG isn't going away.

OCInside.de: Intel Core i9-11900K and Intel Core i5-11600K Review
Intel Core i processors are now in their 11th generation and despite difficulties with 10nm or smaller chip production, Intel still wants to improve performance and sends the Intel Core i5-11600K and the Intel Core i9-11900K from the Intel Rocket Lake-S series into the race today on OCinside.de! As a platform, we have chosen the brand new ASRock Z590 Steel Legend LGA1200 high-end motherboard with Z590 chipset. RAM and NVMe SSD are also pretty fast and come from Crucial, so we are looking forward to an exciting benchmark session including overclocking. Whether Intel's 11th generation can convince and how well the Crucial Ballistix Gaming 16GB DDR4-3600 RAM and the Crucial P5 SSD 2TB perform on the ASRock Z590 Steel Legend will be shown in the following review.

Anandtech: Open Compute Project: An Interview with Intel's Rebecca Weekly
When Facebook was scaling its technologies and pivoting to completely public use in the late 2010s, it started an internal project around data efficiency and scalability. The goal was to end up with a solution that provided scalable resources, efficient compute, and enabled cost savings. In 2011, combined with Intel and Rackspace, the Open Compute Project was launched to enable a set of open standards that could benefit all major industry enterprise players. OCP is also a fluid organization, providing its community a structure that is designed to enable close collaboration on these evolving standards, pushing for commodity hardware that is more efficient, flexible and scalable, throwing off the shackles of proprietary one-size-fits-all gear. OCP also has a certified partner program, allowing external customers to be part of the ecosystem that covers data center facilities, hardware, networking, open firmware, power, security, storage, telecommunications, and future technologies.
