Technology & Gaming Writer
Austin, TXB.S. Computer Science, University of Texas at Austin
Marcus Holloway joined A News Time as its lead Technology and Gaming writer after two years contributing to PCMag and Tom's Guide, where he covered consumer hardware, GPU releases, and the competitive gaming industry. He developed his technical grounding studying Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin, which gives his reporting an edge when breaking down complex topics like AI architecture or semiconductor supply chains for general audiences.
At A News Time, Marcus covers everything from artificial intelligence and cybersecurity to gaming culture and the business of Big Tech. He is one of the few writers working in digital news today who can explain a transformer model and a frame rate benchmark in the same article without losing the reader.
Current Coverage
Marcus is currently tracking the AI chip race between NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, the generative AI industry's push into enterprise software, and the ongoing consolidation across the gaming industry following a wave of studio closures. He is also covering the mid-generation console landscape and what the next hardware cycle looks like.
Areas of Expertise
Artificial intelligenceCybersecurityConsumer hardwarePC and console gamingBig Tech business
Fun Fact
Marcus builds custom mechanical keyboards and has spent more money on switches than he will ever publicly admit. He currently types on a board he has been modifying for two years and considers it permanently unfinished.
