A friendly home for hardware nerds.
Hardware Hamster is a service operated by bytemagic. It gives you a clean, well-researched place to look up historical, current and upcoming hardware — from PC and server gear to phones, consoles and everything in between.
What you'll find inside
A focused tool for the people who actually care about specs, sockets and release dates — not a shop, not a SEO farm.
Search any piece of hardware
Look up CPUs, GPUs, motherboards, RAM, storage, servers, phones and consoles with the specs that matter.
Past, present and upcoming
Track release dates and roadmaps for older platforms and gear that's still around the corner.
Component picker
Build a parts list and instantly see what fits — socket, chipset, power, form factor.
Compatibility checks
Quickly find out whether a CPU, cooler, GPU or RAM kit actually plays nice with the rest of your system.
Consoles included
Specs, generations and accessories for the consoles you grew up with and the ones you're eyeing next.
Phones and mobile gear
Compare phones across generations and brands with the same depth as desktop hardware.
Curious about the tech behind it?
Hardware Hamster runs on the same stack we use for the rest of our work. If you'd like a similar focused tool for your own niche, we'd love to hear about it.
