Hardware

A place to track and explore consumer hardware — the specs, the chips and technologies inside, and how each lineup changes over time. Plain reference tables you can glance at to get your bearings, whether you’re comparing models, following what’s new, or just curious what’s current right now.

• Apple

  Every product Apple currently sells — Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, audio, Vision Pro and displays — with the chip inside, headline specs, the starting price, and when each was last updated.

• Samsung

  The Galaxy lineup, one category at a time. Starting with phones — the S26 flagships, the Z foldables and the A-series mid-range.

• Game consoles

  The current game consoles and PC handhelds — PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and the Steam Deck — compared on chip, specs and price.

• Graphics cards

  Every desktop GPU by maker — Nvidia GeForce, AMD Radeon and Intel Arc — generation by generation, with architecture, memory, specs, price and year.

• CPUs

  Every desktop processor by maker — Intel Core and AMD Ryzen — generation by generation, with architecture, cores, clocks, cache, price and year.

• Running shoes

  A survey of the running-shoe world — the major brands and their signature foams, popular models with short bios, cushioning and drop compared, the super-shoe era, and shoes for arthritis and sore joints.
