Zhaoxin is also planning to release 7 nm CPUs with PCIe 4.0 and DDR 5 support by 2020. (Source: Cnews.cz)

Chinese CPU maker Zhaoxin manages to match Intel's Core i5-7400 with the KX-6000 octa-core

The performance of the 16 nm KX-6000 octa-core CPU might not impress too much, as it only manages to be as fast as Intel's 14 nm i5-7400 quad-core model launched in early 2017, but this is no mere feat for the Chinese industry, especially now when the country is looking to be less and less reliant on the U.S.

Dell Latitude 3590 review: Office laptop with major flaws

80% Dell Latitude 3590 review: Office laptop with major flaws

Not even close, definitely no cigar. Dell has introduced its newest incarnation of their office and business series 3000 to the market, and adds some new issues to the already well-known weak points of this range. Not only is the screen an issue with this latest version, which we would be unhappy with in a 400-Euro (~$456) budget laptop, but also other issues on the technical side. Aside from this, it has very good battery life. UPDATE 08.07.2019: The new BIOS version 1.9.8 changes thermal and fan levels with positive results.
