Magazine

Atomic is a magazine aimed squarely at computer enthusiasts, gamers, and serious PC upgraders. Every month we bring you the latest reviews of new technology and PC components, in depth features on everything from overclocking to console hacking, and gaming previews and interviews.

Issue: 95  |  December, 2008

This month’s issue of Atomic is packed with in-depth tech goodness. It’s a wonder it’s not printed on PCB, it’s so damned hardcore!

We have analysis and discussion on the long-awaited, much-anticipated Nehalem CPU, from Intel. We take the Core i7 Extreme model of the chip through its paces, and, frankly, we’ve found a CPU beast. For more info, including our full benching and test results, you know where to look.

We’ve also resurrected Big Willy, our insane-cool Power Supply testing rig! With it lumbering back to life, we’ve taken 13 PSUs from a range of vendors and pushed them to within an inch of their lives – beyond, in some cases! So if you’ve ever wondered about the workings of the humble PSU, and what enthusiast grade hardware is for you, you gotta get this issue.

And that’s just touching the surface! We’ve got Far Cry 2, Red Alert 3 and a host of other hot games, plus an exclusive report from the floor of Blizzcon! We’ve got news on World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2 and more.

And there’s still more inside!
