    Nintendo Switch 2 Overheats Playing Demanding AAA Games

    Not just a node shrink (which some news mention might have happened) but also a more modern core architecture. The T239 chip used in the swicth 2 is based on the automotive T234 from the jetson orin platform launched in 2021 - it's truly custom and not just a rebadge of the T234 but even on 2021...

    HDMI Forum Releases Version 2.2 of the HDMI Specification

    It doesn't need to support any feature at all, they had the genius idea of just discontinuing HDMI 2.0 and labelling everything as HDMI 2.1, regardless if it's even old TMDS or proper 2.1 with FRL. Luckily they did this late enough that there wasn't that much abuse over it, but it's that bad...

    HDMI Forum Releases Version 2.2 of the HDMI Specification

    They learned nothing from the HDMI 2.1 debacle and are now borrowing further problems (the variable speed) from USB and DP - though to be fair they also did that already, HDMI 2.1 FRL didn't mean you 48gbit/s, some devices, notably some gigabyte monitors, only allowed for less bandwidth, in a...

    Samsung Releases Smart Monitor M9 With AI-Powered QD-OLED Display

    They don't even say what's the difference between the M8 and M7, I had to look pretty hard to even find out the difference to the M9 - the M8 and M7 are VA.

    Philips Introduces New Evnia 27M2N3501PA Gaming Monitor

    No Ambilight? That's a shame, that's the main appeal of Philips branded monitors

    Cable Matters Launches USB4 20Gbps 3-Port Switch for Seamless Multi-Device Connectivity

    Yup, the usual confusing mess USB has been doing for more than a decade now. It is really 20/40gbps though, the overhead is a rounding error since USB4 uses PAM-3 encoding. It's a bit expensive, but are there really KVM options like this using USB4 on aliexpress? With USB4 you don't need more...

    NVIDIA to Launch China-specific GeForce RTX 5090DD in August

    Replacing? I would wager they're going to receive boards already without memory ready to be completed modded with the higher density parts

    Noctua Introduces NF-A12x25 G2 Next-Generation 120mm Fan

    It's nice to look at, but not price competitive at all. Increasing the thickness of the fan by just a few milimeters offers much better airflow with much less cost. Even then we're talking marginal differences... I like Noctua but these prices are a very tough sell. Embrace the brown :D

    AMD UDNA Graphics Architecture to Power Next-Gen Xbox and PlayStation

    Not the first time, doubt it will go anywhere. It has been debated before, they justify it with the business model of consoles and while Xbox, Nintendo and PC are still kicking they can easily argue there's other avenues - even more so now that they release most of their exclusives on PC after...

    AMD UDNA Graphics Architecture to Power Next-Gen Xbox and PlayStation

    GPU are a brute force instruments, they can do so called AI tasks but very inefficiently, an NPU on the other hand is the opposite, it's optimized for the type of things "AI" workloads require. Having them is smart if they have a use for them in mind, unlike current laptops where the NPU is just...

    Logitech's Upcoming MX Master 4 Leaks

    The sensor is fine, it could have an option to disable acceleration for gaming but it's otherwise fine. The polling rate is meant to save battery but it's also not terrible, more would be better, but the real problem is the acceleration. But in the end this is not a gaming mouse, you can use...

    AMD's Next-Gen UDNA-Based Radeon GPUs to Use 80 Gbit/s HDMI 2.2

    They're not using the required and available interfaces for 4k above 120hz, I don't see why they're or will be in any rush to use them for 4k360

    AMD's Next-Gen UDNA-Based Radeon GPUs to Use 80 Gbit/s HDMI 2.2

    Is there? First HDMI 2.2 barely increases the bandwidth from DP2.1 and both standards are enough for everything the monitor market even hinted at having available. Dolby Vision cares about 12bit, but it also doesn't need anywhere near this bandwidth because it doesn't use 240hz. How? Films...

    Logitech's Upcoming MX Master 4 Leaks

    Not necessarily, amazon starts discounting things pretty quickly.
