Microsoft Weekly roundup; Windows 11 is coming soon; First reviews of i9-12900K shows mixed results

September 26, 2021

Sunday September 26.

This week, Microsoft launched new Surface hardware, including the Laptop Studio, Windows 11 headed to the Release Preview channel, a new Halo Infinite technical preview arrived, and more.

Official benchmarks for Intel's upcoming Alder Lake-S flagship Core i9-12900K have been released today by SiSoftware. It has been compared with the last-gen Rocket Lake 11900K and AMD's Ryzen 9 5900X.

Microsoft will start rolling out Windows 11 update to the public on October 5. Before the rollout begins, we take a look at what Windows 11 brings to the table and the hardware needed to run it.

Today, we're discussing Microsoft Teams' integration with Windows 11. Although it features a decent flyout UI directly from the taskbar, we think that overall, it is quite unpolished right now.

This week, the rocket launch schedule just consists of satellite missions. Among them is Landsat 9, the latest in the Landsat program which first began operation in July 1972, almost 50 years ago.

This weekend's PC game deals include a prison break sandbox giveaway from Epic Games Store, a Tropico bundle from Humble, a sole free event for a space sim, plus major sales from Sega and others.
