Welcome to our list of the best free games for kids on both tablet and PC. These games have all been carefully picked to make sure they are appropriate for boys and girls. We’ve all heard horror stories about kids playing games in the news. Back in the ‘80s and ‘90s we heard horror stories about how Pac-Man would usher in the end of society as we know it – with kids shambling through maze-like streets, starving for a cyber pellet fix. Now, 30 years on, nothing like that ever actually happened. In fact, research has shown that gaming can be a productive leisure activity – in moderation, obviously. For example, the best free games for kids all encourage problem solving skills and creativity.

Luckily we’re here to help – we’ve created a list highlighting 20 of the best free games for kids, b...

Intel Whiskey Lake has been officially launched , and it’s the latest line of 8th-Generation mobile processors behind the next generation of laptops. This next-gen mobile architecture was announced back at Computex 2018 alongside the Amber Lake Y-series fanless chips. Now, why there are two different microarchitectures for laptops is beyond us, but they’re both products of the third refinement of Skylake. Both Whiskey Lake and Amber Lake will take Kaby Lake Refresh’s spot as the best processors for laptops and Ultrabooks. But, wait, weren’t there some Coffee Lake U-series processors announced back in April ? Yes there were! However, we actually haven’t seen these Coffee Lake U-series chips in many laptops – most of the best laptops are still using either Kaby Lake Refresh U-series or Coffee Lake H-series chips. So, when Intel figures out its supply problems, Whiskey Lake will power some of the best Ultrabooks throughout 2019. So, with that in mind, we have enough information to...

Before we get into all the Coffee Lake-X information, let’s just get one thing out of the way: it’s not confirmed to exist in any way, shape or form. Everything from here on out is speculation and rumor. Intel has had a rough couple of years. Ever since the onset of AMD Ryzen and Threadripper , Intel has been on the defensive – haphazardly throwing out CPU refreshes to keep ahead of AMD.  Back when AMD launched Threadripper, Intel responded with Skylake X , which outpowered Threadripper, but only barely. Fast forward to 2018, and AMD has released the Threadripper 2990 WX , a 32-core, 64-thread behemoth. And, now Intel has responded with the Basin Falls Refresh . But, what about Coffee Lake-X?.  Well, according to speculation, Coffee Lake-X did indeed exist at one point, only to be scrapped by Intel, according to speculation from the Motley Fool . We don’t know if Coffee Lake-X will ever actually come out, but it could be the next HEDT platform from Team Blue – that’s all ...

This is a lot to take in, but we h...
