ASML might grow faster at the Brainport Campus near Eindhoven Airport. Plans changed from last year, with new buildings ready for workers by 2028 instead of 2030. The Dutch company makes special light machines for computer chips that more customers want these days. Local officials talked about this huge project that needs 2.5 billion euros from the government.
Brainport leader Stijn Steenbakkers says people worked hard for a year on first drafts. The area will create about 20,000 jobs, with 428,000 square meters dedicated to making things. City leaders care about keeping Europe strong in making important tech parts. The full plan will be reviewed by city council members this September.
Leaders must consider roads, buses, and houses...
Game maker Hangar 13 showed new videos of Mafia: The Old Country today for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and computers. Players can watch the PAX East talk at 2 PM Eastern time through YouTube or Twitch. People who want the game early can pay right away. This crime story follows Enzo Favara in early 1900s Sicily as he joins the Don Torrisi family.
The game brings both hand fights and gun battles with old cars and horses across Sicily towns. Hangar 13 worked hard to make the period feel real with Unreal Engine 5 software. The team created deep crime tales with many surprises along the way. Players can finish the whole story without spending months playing. Game chief David Ismailer likes making shorter games that tell complete stories.
Imagination Technologies created new E-Series GPU chips that run pictures and AI tasks with less power. These chips handle from 2 to 200 TOPS of math work using small numbers. With the same chip design, they support phone language helpers, factory cameras, and self-driving cars. The system uses Neural Cores for AI speed and Burst Processors that save 35 percent more battery life.
The chips keep all graphics skills from older models but add faster AI math inside every core. This makes them work four times better than past D-Series parts at AI jobs. They use local memory first, which saves trips to outside memory that waste power. Developers can use regular tools like OpenCL or oneAPI to write programs for these chips without learning...
Nintendo plans to release Switch two on June 5 with its promised launch price of $450. The company delayed pre-orders in America last month because of trade problems. Microsoft recently raised Xbox prices worldwide. Sony also changed PlayStation 5 costs in certain areas earlier. People can order Switch two consoles again at the original prices, but accessories will cost more than expected.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa told investors that hardware prices might change later. Current price tags remain safe for early buyers as the company wants many people to buy the system quickly. Furukawa mentioned they would consider adjustments if tariff situations change greatly. Some market experts predict tech prices could jump up to 70...

Hardware Unboxed poked fun at NVIDIA for hiding the RTX 5060 graphics card from early testing. The team said NVIDIA wants people to think they feel proud of their card, but plans to launch it during Computex, when reviewers cannot test it properly. NVIDIA gave writers cards but will hold back special software needed to make them work until the sale day on May 19. This trick happened before with the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB model, which most reviewers could not test early.
The Australian tech group owns several RTX 5060 test units but cannot run them without official drivers. Most tech media people will travel to Taiwan for the Computex show exactly when the card goes on sale. Reviews might come a week after people start buying these cards...
Lenovo showed off its Legion 9i gaming laptop today at Tech World Shanghai. This machine helps people play games and create them.
