The Playstation 4 Pro Appeal

According to Guardian, the Playstation 4 Pro was created to appeal to gamers who would otherwise "migrate to PC" solely for the improved graphics. There are many reasons for gamers to choose PCs over consoles besides improved graphics, such as: speedier updates, more games (including MOBAs, MMOs, RTSs and simulators), better communities, more game sales, modding support, customizable/upgradeable hardware and having a device that can service multiple purposes, not just as a gaming unit.

Raising The Bar for Core i3 Performance

GIGABYTE has done it again with the newest benchmark from ZEROPLUSZERO on Intel's XTU. GIGABYTE ranked first, with 743 marks, with the Core i3-6320 reigning over all other submissions using motherboards from other manufactures.

This proves that GIGABYTE has been able to maintain a solid platform for overclocking not only on the i7 and i5's but also on the mainstream i3 processors as well.

Below you can see the submission from ZEROPLUSZERO and the board that he used. HWBot Submission.
