    Cloud Imperium Games Unveils Star Citizen 4.1: Orbital Assault - A Major Step Forward in Space Simulation Technology

    Like I wrote on Techspot: You gotta hand it to him, he found his mark - millions of "gamurz" willing to throw their wallet at a project founded on hopes and wishes. He gets to live in his mega mansion, drive a lambo, and never have to work a day in his life while those with sunk cost fallacy...

    China Develops HDMI Alternative: 192 Gbps Speeds and 480 W Power Delivery

    Amperage is what generates heat. If you double the voltage but keep the amperage the same, you can effectively double the power capacity. So long as the cables resistance is low enough this won't be an issue.

    China Develops HDMI Alternative: 192 Gbps Speeds and 480 W Power Delivery

    Unlike the 12v connector, USB C has this thing called a handshake. No USB C charger will blindly set full power, the host device has to communicate what it can do, or it falls back to 5v mode.

    NVIDIA PhysX and Flow Made Fully Open-Source

    Even the fastest modern CPUs are toddlers compared to a GPU's compute output. CPU based Physx still struggles on the newest ryzen chips, sure some newer instructions may help this, but there's a reason physx was GPU based to begin with... I'm guessing its more like nvidia has no interest in...

    High NVIDIA RTX 5000 Pricing Pushes RTX 4060 to Top of GPU Sales Charts

    They gotta CONSOOOM man! It may not be great, but for games like Indiana jones where RT is always on, that performance difference really sticks out. RT is here to stay and even on lower settings you need some of it going forward. Thank god AMD realized this and fixed rDNA4's RT performance...

    Intel and TSMC in Foundry Joint Venture Talks

    For the US, if China were to sneak people into TSMC they would then have direct access to Intel's facilities with such an agreement. How great of a risk this is I dont know. For Taiwan it's a great idea, the more intertwined they are in US production the more they can pressure the US for...

    Intel and TSMC in Foundry Joint Venture Talks

    Import taxes are not the same thing as tariffs. There's no reason you cannot make a legal trade agreement today. What you CAN'T do now, is simply import everything for dirt cheap exploiting foreign labor and not pay for any of it. For now at least, the era of freely exploiting other countries...

    High NVIDIA RTX 5000 Pricing Pushes RTX 4060 to Top of GPU Sales Charts

    If I needed a new GPU it would be a 9070xt. No question. However, given stock issues and prices, I'll be keeping my 6800xt for at least another year if not 2, skipping until uDNA releases. My RTX 4060 media PC can run most stuff fine too so meh. If I build a new gaming PC in 2-4 years I dont...

    Xbox Wire Goes Hands-on with DOOM: The Dark Ages

    There are literally hundreds of shooter multiplayer games out there to satiate that experience. DOOM has never been co-op either, AFAIK.

    DDR5 CUDIMM Explained & Benched

    He's one of those guys who thinks that unless you test at "realistic" standards (this being the settings they themselves would personally use) then benchmarks dont matter, for example "why would you run 720p for your CPU test nobody runs that you should run settings people actually use". or "why...

    Russia Unveils Domestic 350 nm Lithography System Amid Sanctions

    Well, the F-22 was running an IBM mainframe, so for the F-35 going to 350nm is a huge achievement. It may also have to do with radiation hardening, or ability to source or set up new supply in times of war. Or they got a sweet deal IDK

    SMIC Reportedly On Track to Finalize 5 nm Process in 2025, Projected to Cost 40-50% More Than TSMC Equivalent

    That 5 year old node is still advanced enough for most things and having that capacity removed their chain to US or other foreign manufacturing. Oh yeah, and 5nm is the underpinning of CURRENT AMD and nvidia GPUs, and AMD CPUs..... As a reminder, 2 years ago everyone said they'd never manage...
