Sony will release a major PlayStation 5 firmware update on September 17, following months of beta testing. The console automatically downloads the software, though users can manually initiate installation through the Settings menu under System, System Software, and System Software Update options. Two primary features define this release.
Power Saver mode represents the update's most significant addition, accessible through Settings, System, and Power Saving menus. Future game patches will support this feature for titles like Death Stranding 2 and Demon's Souls, while Ghost of Yotei launches with compatibility. This functionality may target specifications for Sony's rumored portable gaming device, expected to be announced alongside the...
Microsoft announced additional titles for Xbox Game Pass during September's second half. The subscription service will receive over a dozen games starting immediately. Notable additions feature Hades returning before its sequel launches on September 25 and Deep Rock Galactic Survivor arriving as a day-one release. Call of Duty Modern Warfare III joins the lineup alongside Frostpunk 2 and Visions of Mana.
The gaming platform adds titles across multiple release dates through September 30. Deep Rock Galactic Survivor represents an auto-shooter spinoff from the original cooperative mining game. Hades provides players access to the acclaimed roguelike adventure ahead of the franchise's first sequel release. Several games enter early access...
AMD quietly introduced four processors across its Zen 4 and Zen 5 product lines. The company launched the eight-core Ryzen 7 9700F processor without an official announcement. ASRock confirmed these releases through a press statement detailing motherboard compatibility updates. The motherboard manufacturer announced support for the new chips through BIOS version 3.30.
The Ryzen 7 9700F features eight cores and sixteen threads based on Zen 5 architecture. This processor lacks integrated graphics functionality similar to other F-series models. Early specifications suggest a 3.8 gigahertz base frequency with potential 5.4 gigahertz boost speeds. The chip maintains identical cache configuration and thermal design power ratings as its...
Sony has deployed artificial intelligence technology across multiple game development projects through its Enterprise LLM platform. The company integrated voice recognition software for automated subtitle generation in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and conducted experimental testing with the Horizon franchise character Aloy. More than 50,000 employees across 210 internal teams have adopted these AI tools since 2023 for chat assistance and writing support while maintaining strict legal and ethical guidelines. Sony emphasizes that artificial intelligence serves as a creative enhancement rather than a developer replacement, similar to the PlayStation 5 Pro PSSR upscaling technology already implemented in their hardware. This approach aligns with...
Chinese technology companies are rejecting NVIDIA's RTX 6000D workstation graphics processor, despite the company's market expectations. Major firms cite insufficient performance relative to alternative computing solutions already available through existing channels and previous inventory stocks. Reuters reports indicate widespread industry avoidance of the new product launch.
The RTX 6000D represents NVIDIA's initial Blackwell architecture offering for Chinese customers. Technical specifications feature GDDR7 memory technology, TSMC four-nanometer manufacturing processes, and 1,100 gigabytes per second bandwidth capabilities. The company anticipated selling two million units to offset revenue losses from the H20 artificial...
AMD expanded its processor lineup with three new additions across different generations. The company launched the Ryzen 5 7400 and 7400F processors, while also making the Ryzen 5 9500F available worldwide. Both 7400 series chips feature six cores and twelve threads with 65-watt power consumption. The 7400F variant operates at higher speeds with a 4.7 gigahertz boost frequency compared to 4.3 gigahertz on the standard model. The F-version also contains 32 megabytes of L3 cache versus 16 megabytes on the regular processor.
Korean retailers list the 7400F at $138 and the standard 7400 at $145. The newer 9500F commands $204 in the same market. AMD continues supporting its previous generation despite transitioning to newer architectures...
Gearbox's latest shooter faces significant performance challenges despite recent patches addressing stability concerns. YouTuber MxBenchmarkPC demonstrated substantial frame rate gains across multiple graphics cards through careful setting adjustments. The optimized configurations deliver up to 40% better performance while maintaining visual quality comparable to the maximum presets. Testing covered hardware ranging from current RTX 5080 cards to older RTX 3060 models using various upscaling technologies.
Performance issues sparked public disagreements between frustrated players and Gearbox co-founder Randy Pitchford. Pitchford advised users struggling with 4K resolution to consider 1440p alternatives or utilize DLSS upscaling...
TSMC anticipates exceptional market interest for its upcoming 2-nanometer manufacturing technology. Industry reports suggest this advanced process node will attract greater customer demand than the current 3-nanometer offerings. The semiconductor foundry targets a monthly production capacity of 100,000 wafers by 2026. Companies view the 2nm technology as more economically viable compared to previous generations. Cost structures present significant improvements over existing manufacturing methods.
Apple leads initial adoption plans with four distinct processor designs scheduled for the new process. Mobile chip manufacturers MediaTek and Qualcomm will follow as early customers. High-performance computing companies NVIDIA and AMD...
CCP Games released Operation Nemesis for its multiplayer shooter EVE Vanguard. The update connects ground-based combat with space warfare from EVE Online. Previous attempts at linking these games failed with titles like Dust 514. This marks the first successful integration between the two gaming experiences. Players on planets can gather intelligence that affects space battles.
The limited-time event runs until October 2 and introduces several features. Warclones receive new weapons, manufacturing systems, and enemy types during gameplay. A fresh player-versus-player map called Sulphur Basin supports nine-versus-nine matches. Enhanced communication tools and revival mechanics improve team coordination. CCP Games plans a Steam Early...
