    Rumored Specs for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 Series Emerge with up 2x or More Performance Gains over RTX 50 Series

    I could very well see them spinning off GeForce as an independent company or sell it off. Not sure it would make a ton of sense, but I'm not an accountant or business major so I don't know why companies do that in the first place.

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

    Oddly enough, standing underneath a Barber Shop sign, the difference in hair was what drew my eye first. It looks a lot more detailed on the right - but that could just be an artifact of the particular screen shot - can't see it in motion or anything It is also interesting the CPUs appear to be...

    NVIDIA Could Debut Its Arm-Based N1 SoC Mobile Processor at Computex 2026

    Hmm.. it would be interesting. AMD has flirted with it, but they own x64 IP so they don't really want to give that up. I don't know that Intel would unless they are facing another existential crisis - Most of Intel's corporate identity is wrapped up in x86 With Microsoft putting out some...

    2 years from now when they get around to actually releasing it in 2028

    NVIDIA Could Debut Its Arm-Based N1 SoC Mobile Processor at Computex 2026

    I dunno, we'll see nVidia tried this once before, and other than the Nintendo Switch, didn't exactly see a lot of traction. And still hasn't. Snapdragon hasn't exactly taken off either. Apple seems to be the only one pulling off ARM outside of phones/mobile, but they are also the only company...

    Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition is Official: AMD Puts 3D V-Cache on Both Chiplets, Launches April 22

    No no no, you have that all wrong. You release the weaker part first, and let everyone jump on it. Then 3 months in, you let the rumor drop about the "better" part. Then 6 months in, some benchmarks start to "leak". Then 9 months or so later, you release the "better" part, and watch all...

    OT: A truckload of antimatter on the move (watch out for potholes...)

    At least they are wearing hard hats. You know, just in case an annihilation occurs

    NVIDIA Releases Game Ready Driver 595.97 WQL, Hopefully Faring Better than 595.59

    It’s the End of an Era for the Cheese Grater as Apple Discontinues the Mac Pro

    Wasn’t the Pro the model that they promised to build in the US a few years ago for some sort of incentive?

    Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition is Official: AMD Puts 3D V-Cache on Both Chiplets, Launches April 22

    I’m betting CPUs get pretty inexpensive now that RAM is choking off people from upgrading Gotta try to entice people to do drop-in upgrades

    The OLED Black Depth Lie – When Panel Type and Coating Matters

    That’s fine But the original article obviously doesn’t agree and has data on the models they tested. I’m sure there are always outliers, and the article only tested some subset of all screens available. All I did was summarize the article for the tl;dr’s out here

    NVIDIA Unveils DLSS 5, to Help Achieve Photorealistic Lighting While Honoring the Artist’s Original Intent and Image Quality

    Steam runs, even has Big Picture Mode and everything on OS X. Apple does have an App Store on OS X, but it isn't nearly as big as it is on iOS, since OS X is open and not a walled garden, so no need for Valve to break into the walled garden and fork over 30% as long as it stays on OS X and...

    NVIDIA Unveils DLSS 5, to Help Achieve Photorealistic Lighting While Honoring the Artist’s Original Intent and Image Quality

    Why would Apple partner with Valve when Apple brings in almost 10x the revenue that Valve does, just on App Store Gaming revenue alone, let alone everything else Apple creates revenue with. Apple could buy Valve outright five times over just with the cash they have on hand if they wanted to...

    Intel Will Reportedly Launch Its “Big Battlemage” Arc Pro B70 and B65 Workstation Graphics Cards Next Week

    For the Apple unbelievers, and folks that are just flat out in denial, I'll just throw this out there: From Wikipedia - List of Largest Video Game companies So, a lot of companies making a lot of money, for sure. Apple would be top of the list though, if you considered them a publisher...

    NVIDIA Unveils DLSS 5, to Help Achieve Photorealistic Lighting While Honoring the Artist’s Original Intent and Image Quality

    hahaha like nVidia would ever allow you to mate their product with an inferior brand. You'll be lucky if it doesn't require whatever the latest generation is, just because they can do that and force sales. (you have a good point though, despite my joking)

    NVIDIA Unveils DLSS 5, to Help Achieve Photorealistic Lighting While Honoring the Artist’s Original Intent and Image Quality

    I mean, if we keep going down this path - graphics programming won't be anything other than a series of AI prompts.

    Valve Reveals Steam Machine and Frame Requirements, Advises Developers That “Optimizing for Lower Spec Machines Expands Your Audience.”

    It’s the same conundrum we had when mining boomed —- if you can sell every single piece of hardware that you make at a higher margin, why do you bother continuing to support lower margin uses? The constraint is manufacturing - they can’t just scale up fabs fast enough to support the demand, and...
