Santa Clara cooks Intel XeSS MFG for Arc and Battlemage
Intel develops frame generation capabilities for its XeSS upscaling technology after driver code revealed references to XeSS MFG. The Multi-Frame Generation system would create interpolated frames between actual GPU-rendered images to boost performance. Driver files contain interface elements suggesting Arc Control Panel integration for the upcoming feature. Frame generation allows smoother gameplay without requiring graphics cards to render every single frame through artificial intelligence assistance. This technology already exists in competing solutions from NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR platforms. The timing suggests Intel plans to launch XeSS MFG alongside its anticipated Battlemage Arc graphics cards. Current Arc Alchemist GPU...
Microsoft floods AI chips in Redmond, Swiss Corintis grins
Microsoft researchers developed a revolutionary cooling system that channels liquid directly through AI chips. The technology replaces traditional heat sinks with microscopic pathways carved into chip surfaces. These channels measure the width of human hair and carry coolant through the processor itself. Artificial intelligence monitors temperature variations across the chip during operation. The system redirects coolant flow toward areas generating excessive heat. This adaptive approach prevents thermal throttling while maintaining optimal performance levels across all chip regions. Engineers drew inspiration from the natural fluid distribution systems found in leaf veins and the patterns of butterfly wings. Microsoft partnered with...
Silicon Valley dumps fans for Solidigm D7-PS1010, HGX B300
Solidigm launches the D7-PS1010, marking the first enterprise solid-state drive to feature cold-plate liquid cooling technology. This innovation replaces traditional airflow methods by applying direct cooling to both chip surfaces. The system maintains stable temperatures during intensive artificial intelligence operations. High-density graphics processing unit servers benefit from this thermal management solution. Energy consumption remains efficient while maintaining compact physical dimensions. The storage device comes in E1.S format with thickness options of 9.5 millimeters and 15 millimeters. Storage capacities reach 3.84 terabytes and 7.68 terabytes for diverse server applications.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max gets screws, vapor cool, iFixit meh
Apple redesigned the internal architecture of its iPhone 17 Pro Max, according to recent teardown analysis. The device features a screw-in battery compartment with electrically debonding adhesive, simplifying replacement procedures. Technicians can dissolve the adhesive using small electrical currents rather than pulling fragile tabs. A vapor chamber cooling system debuts beneath the battery to manage heat from the A19 Pro processor. However, Apple eliminated the dual-entry repair access found in previous models. Fourteen Torx-plus screws secure the battery assembly, necessitating the use of additional tools for maintenance. The USB-C port connects to multiple components, making replacement work more complicated. Testing reveals the...
Steam Deck tames Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 3, benchmarks ghosted
Larian Studio released a native Steam Deck version of Baldur's Gate 3 that delivers enhanced performance across the handheld platform. Deck Wizard published video footage demonstrating smoother gameplay during Act 3 sequences, which traditionally challenge all gaming systems with demanding computational requirements. Performance measurement remains impossible since benchmarking applications cannot function without Proton compatibility layers. AMD FSR 4 technology stays unavailable through this native implementation, yet players can still access Lossless Scaling features for visual enhancement. Hotfix 34 brought this Steam Deck optimization alongside Xbox stability patches and various gameplay corrections. The extensive role-playing...
