Google might not kneecap the Pixel 11a with an old processor

Mystic Leaks suggests that the Pixel 11a will return to featuring a flagship-grade processor with the Tensor G6. Rather than the Tensor G5 found in the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro, the Pixel 10a shipped with the previous generation Tensor G4.

Valve describes just how brutal RAM negotiations are in 2026

Valve's Steam Machine finally has a price: a whopping $1,049 for the 512GB configuration or $1,349 for the 2TB version. And those are without bundled controllers, which drive up the cost more.

The Steam Machine is the start of an even more expensive future for game consoles

It's no secret that just about every aspect of video games is getting more expensive.

Valve is working with AMD to bring FSR 4 to the Steam Machine

The Steam Machine is a cool little console that's about as powerful as a PlayStation 5, according to my colleague Sean Hollister's in-depth review.
