Adata's Premiere Pro SP920 solid-state drive reviewed
Adata SSDs have appeared in several of our deals posts in recent months. They're competitively priced, and in the increasingly commoditized world of solid-state storage, cost-per-gigabyte is often the deciding factor. Anecdotal evidence suggests Adata SSDs are pretty reliable, too. The user reviews at Amazon and Newegg are largely positive, with relatively few reports of problems or premature failures.
The thing is, we haven't actually tested any Adata SSDs. So when the company offered us its latest Premiere Pro SP920, which is reasonably priced and available in capacities ...

Kanter dissects Jaguar, but not an actual cat
David Kanter saved up his in-depth write-up of AMD's compact Jaguar CPU microarchitecture for April 1, for some reason. I'm not quite sure what happened there. Maybe I'm not reading carefully enough. Anyhow, you can read his take on perhaps AMD's most important CPU architecture, the one that powers the PS4 and Xbox One, right here.
If you've enjoyed David's architecture pieces, I'd suggest taking the time to read this one. David has recently joined the Microprocessor Report and will ...

Strange new Rosewill keyboard is feline-friendly
And here comes Rosewill with a new addition to its mechanical keyboard lineup. Perhaps this is the strangest one so far. Rosewill's new entry, the RK-687, is said to be the "first mechanical keyboard featuring a built in heating system." It also has a "paw friendly key" that activates that heating system.

MinnowBoard Max serves up Bay Trail on a tiny, open circuit board
The MinnowBoard is a basic computer platform designed for both hobbyists and embedded systems.

However, there's a new MinnowBoard Max with Bay Trail onboard, and it's even smaller than the original.

Star Citizen dev endorses Oculus deal; another Valve staffer defects
Facebook's bid to acquire Oculus was the biggest story last week by far—and the story is still developing. Today, we see that Star Citizen developer Chris Roberts has come out in favor of the deal, and another staffer has left Valve for Oculus.
Let's start with Roberts, who talked about the deal in his latest news update on the Star Citizen website. Roberts clearly doesn't feel the same way as folks like Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson, who canceled a potential Oculus ...

DisplayMate lauds Samsung Galaxy S5's OLED screen
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the fairest smartphone screen of them all? Samsung's Galaxy S5, at least according to DisplayMate. The display specialists say the S5's OLED screen is "the best performing smartphone display" ever put through their gauntlet of objective tests.
Interestingly, Samsung achieved that distinction without upping the pixel count. The S5 has the same 1080p resolution and a similar screen size to the old S4. However, the new display is reportedly 22% brighter at the same power ...
