Check out our review of the CyberPower Zeus Mini gaming PC.

Perhaps popularized by the introduction of the Steam Machine, it seems as if small form factor PCs are gaining more and more traction as of late. Now, CyberPower is the latest PC maker to introduce a new batch of dwarfish computers. This new line is dubbed the Zeus Mini.

With the case measuring 13 x 17.4 x 4.4-inches, the Zeus Mini is a far cry from the behemoth gaming PCs you’re likely accustomed to. That doesn’t mean that the CyberPower Zeus Mini doesn’t pack a punch on the inside though.

Don’t be concerned about pricing though. You don’t need a god-like bank account in order to get your hands on CyberPower’s latest creation. For instance, the Zeus Mini starts at $599 and include and AMD A10-7850K processor, 8GB of RAM, a 500GB 7,200 rpm hard drive, an 8x DVD burner, Windows 8.1 and more. Meanwhile, the top level default config is priced at $1,479 and wields a beefy Intel Core i7-4770K processor, 16GB of RAM, a spacious 2TB 7,200 rpm hard drive, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 graphics card with 3GB of RAM and Windows 8.1.

In all, there are eight Zeus Mini default configurations, and all of them are highly customizable, giving you the ability to raise the price of your Zeus Mini to epic proportions. As for the availability, the Zeus Mini can be had right now.

It’s time to stop believing these PC building myths

Hyte's Thicc Q60 all-in-one liquid cooler.

As far as hobbies go, PC hardware is neither the cheapest nor the easiest one to get into. That's precisely why you may often run into various misconceptions and myths.

These myths have been circulating for so long now that many accept them as a universal truth, even though they're anything but. Below, I'll walk you through some PC beliefs that have been debunked over and over, and, yet, are still prevalent.

AMD’s next-gen CPUs are much closer than we thought

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D held between fingertips.

We already knew that AMD would launch its Zen 5 CPUs this year, but recent motherboard updates hint that a release is imminent. Both MSI and Asus have released updates for their 600-series motherboards that explicitly add support for "next-generation AMD Ryzen processors," setting the stage for AMD's next-gen CPUs.

This saga started a few days ago when hardware leaker 9550pro spotted an MSI BIOS update, which they shared on X (formerly Twitter). Since then, Asus has followed suit with BIOS updates of its own featuring a new AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture (AGESA) -- the firmware responsible for starting the CPU -- that brings support for next-gen CPUs (spotted by VideoCardz).

AMD Zen 5: Everything we know about AMD’s next-gen CPUs

The AMD Ryzen 5 8600G APU installed in a motherboard.

AMD Zen 5 is the next-generation Ryzen CPU architecture for Team Red and is slated for a launch sometime in 2024. We've been hearing tantalizing rumors for a while now and promises of big leaps in performance. In short, Zen 5 could be very exciting indeed.

We don't have all the details, but what we're hearing is very promising. Here's what we know about Zen 5 so far.
Zen 5 release date and availability
AMD confirmed in January 2024 that it was on track to launch Zen 5 sometime in the "second half of the year." Considering the launch of Zen 4 was in September 2022, we would expect to see Zen 5 desktop processors debut around the same timeframe, possibly with an announcement in the summer at Computex.
