The shift allows Codemasters additional development time to prepare what the studio promises will be a significantly...
Graphics card manufacturers AMD and Nvidia may discontinue production of budget and mid-range gaming GPUs as memory shortages drive up costs for GDDR modules, according to a Korean media report. The companies could prioritize higher-margin products as rising bills of materials make lower-tier models less profitable, with speculation suggesting that cards in the 60-class and 50-class segments face potential elimination.

Vendors, including ASUS, have warned that persistent shortages could force price increases across consumer devices, with mainstream GPU models...

Court filings claim that Krafton chief executive Changham Kim consulted ChatGPT while searching for methods to avoid paying a $250 million performance bonus to Unknown Worlds developers after the studio achieved its sales targets.

The filing suggests Krafton planned coordinated efforts, including the potential...
Nvidia has secured a partnership with Anthropic that includes a one-gigawatt commitment for Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin computing systems, while the graphics chip manufacturer pledges to invest up to 10 billion dollars in the artificial intelligence company.

Apple captured a quarter of all smartphone sales in China during October, marking its strongest performance in the market as the iPhone 17 lineup drove sales up 37 percent year over year, according to Counterpoint Research. The base iPhone 17 model led the momentum compared with the previous generation, while the Pro variants also demonstrated strong demand in what researchers described as the best December quarter start for the company since peaking in 2021.
