PC Gaming
If you take a gander inside your gaming PC and randomly point at any component in there, you’re almost certainly going to land on something that’s noticeably more expensive than it was just 12 months ago. And if that so happens to be an Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus chip, then that’s included too, as…
Despite its high price and somewhat disappointing gaming chops, Valve’s Steam Machine appears to be selling well, with lots of buyers showing off their new purchase on social media. And in what seems to be the first published instance, the consumer coverage also includes a console-like Red Ring Line of Death. Well, the Steam Machine…
Just imagine you’re Meta. You’ve spent millions of dollars on new servers that only use DDR5 sticks, only to find that you still don’t have enough memory. The solution? Yoink the DDR4 modules out of the old servers and, through the power of a custom chip, splice the two systems together to go ham with…
I have a couple of very vague memories of playing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League back when it released a couple of years ago. Mostly, I remember thinking ‘meh’. Some of the action was quite fun—although it quickly lost its charm—I didn’t mesh with any of the characters and their hit-and-miss humour, but its…
SK hynix, one of the three biggest memory manufacturers (along with Samsung and Micron), seems to be investing a lot of money into AI, and the South Korean government is happy to see that renewed investment. This time, it’s to the tune of 100 trillion won (or $65 billion as of the time of writing)….
Here’s my problem with Kingdom Come: Deliverance—it’s simply not finicky enough. It’s too straightforward, I am too able to keep its rules and demands in my head, the game does not compel me to keep track of enough small things. Oh, you expect me to put my armour on in a precise order? That’s complicated….
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, in my humble opinion, deserves the laurels it got—it’s a gorgeous, inventive, personality-filled romp with an ending that rips your heart out and stomps it into a pulp fine enough for use in paint. But I’d hesitate to call it ‘perfect’, mostly because I don’t believe in perfection as a concept,…
Names poached from Tolkien’s works. Glossy websites, packed with animations and all kinds of promises. Slightly ludicrous tech demonstration. All the hallmarks of today’s tech companies, one might think. But in the case of one nuclear power start-up, the super-slick marketing is actually a good reminder that AI’s rampant hunger for energy needs can’t be…
Palantir CEO Alex Karp was recently interviewed by CNBC, where he gave an impassioned decry that the current AI market is not working, urged other panellists to call up CEOs and test his hypothesis, and made clear that his nervous energy was not in any way related to any substance usage. Yeah, it’s a strange…
Funky fresh hardware sports a price tag that makes my eyes water—so some companies are considering firing up production on older product lines again. Rumours suggest that Intel is next. Apparently, Intel plans to increase supply of its 10th, 12th, 13th, 14th generation CPUs—that’s everything from 2020’s Comet Lake up to the latest 2023 iteration…
