EPOS | Sennheiser GSX 1200 PRO hands-on: Innovative touch controls, no software, excellent sound

Absolutely no software companion and a touch display to control its features. How well can this piece of hardware get the job done and is it worth the price tag of almost US$250? These are the two essential questions that we have to answer in today's hands-on review of the EPOS | Sennheiser GSX 1200 PRO USB DAC/headphone amplifier.

NVIDIA has published initial performance figures for the GeForce RTX 3070, which will arrive on October 29. The Ampere card is apparently over 60% faster than the RTX 2070 in mixed applications and around 8% more powerful than the RTX 2080 Ti.

Alleged PlayStation 5 devkit UI leak has fans in a tizzy as boot time is longer than that of the Xbox Series X

A short video clip of the alleged PlayStation 5 boot screen and user interface (UI) has surfaced that appears to involve a devkit rather than a retail model of the PS5. The video shows a black DualSense controller being used to presumably start up the console, and then the boot screen and UI eventually appear on a monitor.

Leaked pic shows NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 laptop GPU, which could release soon but will probably not be as fast as the desktop counterpart

The laptop-grade RTX 3070 GPU is apparently getting 8 GB of 12 Gbps GDDR6 VRAM, but it is very likely that the lower TGP of around 120 W will limit this chip's performance, so it will not really match the performance of a desktop-grade RTX 2080 Ti. Regardless of these limitations, the RTX 3070 mobility GPU should still be a decent upgrade over the current RTX 2080 Super.

We just completed our test on the new Schenker XMG Core 15. In the budget gaming laptop, we are particularly convinced by the new Zen-2 processor, while the RTX 2060 shows some slight weakness. But it is still surprising what powerful hardware can be found in a laptop below 1500 Euros (~$1745) at this point.

The results indicate that Zen 3 Vermeer may alleviate a lot of the CPU bottlenecking concerns that have plagued AMD processors to date.

The Asus ROG Phone 3 will be released to North America soon, as confirmed by the FCC

Asus launched the ROG Phone 3, its latest gaming flagship Android phone, in July 2020. However, it never materialized on the US or Canadian markets. The device has just appeared on the FCC database, suggesting that it is finally approved for sale in the region.
