    Intel Lunar Lake Technical Deep Dive

    Which I always find funny. First ARM processor was released just 7 years after the Intel 8086. 39yrs vs 46yrs. People act like it is the new kid on the block.

    TechPowerUp @ Computex 2024 Preview: AI Everywhere! Next Gen Platforms and Teasers

    I'm not excided for TPU/NPUs other than for things like DLSS. Outside gamers, I am sure the use is less. People that actually need it will have GPUs to do the intensive stuff. For AMD APUs, it would make more sense if they actually used XDNA for FSR, but I would imagine that it would increase...

    AMD to Discontinue Windows 10 Support for its Ryzen 9000 "Strix Point" Mobile Processors

    Seems kind of strange because we will have ESU, we got LTSC and LTSB, Windows Server 2016 build is the same major build as Windows 10 1607, and Server 2019 is the same major build as Windows 10 1809. Just thinking of the business side of things it doesn't make that much sense. Maybe MS has...

    AMD Hits Highest-Ever x86 CPU Market Share in Q1 2024 Across Desktop and Server

    Honestly, I am a bit surprised a vendor hasn't come around to only or largely only offer AMD products. Back in 2021 I was ordering a bunch of servers from Dell. Dell's AMD PowerEdge offerings were limited. But for those systems, and comparing to Intel, I was like "why the hell would anyone buy...

    Apple M4 Chip Benchmarked: 22% Faster Single-Core and 25% Faster Multi-Core Performance

    Let me use MacOS on it and I'd be interested. iPadOS is the most limiting factor of all this power and capability. Multitasking on iPadOS is essentially non-existent. Half my apps run in phone window mode and the other half are just stretched out phone apps. Would be sweet to be able to use...

    Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Specifications Confirmed, Console Arrives Before Holidays

    With the emphasis on RT, too bad they didn't add more memory and bandwidth. Even though RT is likely to be a lot better on the PS5 Pro, it will not surprise me if the memory capacity and bandwidth is going to hold back it's capabilities. It's basically a downclocked enhanced 7800XT with 50GB...

    Low-res Images Show Off Rumored "All-Digital" White Xbox Series X Refresh

    Im sure the Series X Black Disc, White noDisc and Series S Black and White noDisc is going to confuse some people. I can see someone looking at the Black Series X, see the disc, then spot the cheaper Black Series S and just grab that not noticing it is noDisc and buy a handful of physical games. :/

    Scientists Develop a Solution to OLED Burn-in

    Oh no, my 5yr old OLED got burn in. Such a shame. Now I have to go out and buy the latest and greatest OLED. While I am at it, might as well get a bigger one too. Such a shame. Sometimes the way a product can basically go EOL can benefit me. It is usually those products that I use everyday and...

    AMD Announces Spartan UltraScale+ Family of FPGAs

    Just in my department at work, we use a couple thousand of these Spartan chips. When I saw them I was like "Hey these are Xilinix? We use their stuff! That is neat.". And these new ones we ordered have AMD on them. We utilize the Spartan series in our industrial networks.

    NVIDIA GeForce 551.61 WHQL with RTX HDR Released, NVIDIA Finally Has a Modern Control Panel

    HDR stuff is honestly the most exciting thing. For me, more exciting (not that they aren't, just not as much) than things like RT/PT, upscalers and frame gen.

    Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Window Reportedly Shifts to Early 2025

    Switch is still selling well. If Nintendo wanted too, to increase sales, a $50 price drop would sling units and they'd still make a ton on hardware. I don't think they are concerned with a Q1 release because the Switch was very successful with a Q1 release. Would likely also minimize...

    Top AMD RDNA4 Part Could Offer RX 7900 XTX Performance at Half its Price and Lower Power

    If AMD can turn this into going really hard after the $150-$400 price range, they could have a winner on their hands. Sure, 2% will be upset that they aren't going after the ultra high-end. But looking at Steam, the top 20 cards are made up of a lot of GF 10 series, 2060, 3050, 3060. They make...

    Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora: DLSS 2 vs. FSR 3 Comparison

    Only thing obvious that stood out in the YT video, DLSS fails way hard at ~30seconds. The fence shouldn't be doing that and parts of the smoke shouldn't look like floating blobs. I don't think FSR is handling it well either, but at least it looks like it is just heat haze and the smoke could...

    No GTA 6 for PC Gamers at Launch, Rockstar Confirms

    No lighting. No interiors on the buildings. Other than that 1 dude, no NPCs. Fewer vehicles. No grass. Fewer trees that look like arse. No depth of field. Less building geometry. Modded GTA5 looks like arse in comparison here. The cars look pretty good in the GTA5 mod, but they also look out...

    NVIDIA Announces Q3-FY24 Results; Earns 5 Times More Revenue from AI Chips than Gaming GPUs

    Game revenue is pretty boring. $2.8B. It has been higher in the past. Used to always be their #1 segment. That datacenter is popping. 80% of their Q3 and projected to be 75% of their Q4. Nvidia can basically just not care about gaming anymore in terms of cost. They can sell their cards for...
