Sign up to the Tom’s Hardware Premium Beta now for exclusive content

Our sister site Tom’s Hardware has long been one of the premier online destinations for news, reviews and analysis around the PC and semiconductor industry – and it’s now had a major upgrade to make it even better.

For a small fee, Tom’s Hardware Premium will offer members a wealth of extra content including exclusive features and interviews, hardware roadmaps and the new member-only newsletter Uptime.

You’ll also get access to the site’s new Bench feature; this is a seriously powerful new benchmarking tool that covers categories such as CPUs, GPUs, and laptops and that enables readers to explore individual test results and directly compare products.

What’s more, the brand’s commitment to free-to-consume tech journalism remains; nothing that already exists on the site is being put behind the paywall, and Tom’s Hardware reviews will remain free.

How much will all of this goodness cost? A mere $69 for a one-year subscription right now as an introductory offer.

“For nearly three decades, Tom’s Hardware has served the enthusiast community with authoritative advice and insights based on years of experience and in-depth knowledge, and testing,” says Paul Alcorn, Interim Editor-in-Chief, Tom’s Hardware. “Now we aim to take it to the next level”

“Think of our subscription service as a backstage pass that will give you a new level of access and insight into the inner workings of the tech world. Our Tom’s Hardware Premium subscription will provide you with even deeper analysis and perspective on the latest news and features, along with access to the most comprehensive and up-to-date benchmarking database available.

“This service will ultimately enable us to invest more time in the painstaking analysis and data collection that define our brand, while also enabling us to expand the scope and depth of our coverage, bringing you along with us as we explore the latest and greatest in the industry.

“We’re incredibly excited to launch Tom’s Hardware Premium and share it with the community that’s been with us every step of the way. We can’t wait for you to experience what we’ve been building and to continue shaping the future of Tom’s Hardware with you.”
