Intel Drops High End GPU Dream Fans Fuming
People waiting for better Intel graphics cards feel disappointed. Intel released the cheap Arc Xe2 "Battlemage" B580 and B570 cards earlier, but news about stronger models stopped coming.

Some tech experts believed these would become professional versions of the B580 with giant 24 GB memory banks. Others hoped Intel planned gaming cards like "B750, B770," or even "B780" for players wanting more power. Just yesterday, Gawroński talked with another famous leaker named Jaykihn. This person often shares secret Intel plans about computer chips for desktops, laptops, and business machines. Jaykihn claims Intel canceled their...

NVIDIA Cracks Down on Laptop GPU Cheating
NVIDIA recently told laptop makers they must clearly show all graphics power details for the coming RTX 50 Series Blackwell GPUs. According to ComputerBase, this change addresses a long-running problem where hidden limits caused weird performance gaps between laptops with identical GPU names. Many companies previously skipped sharing complete information about power usage, which led to situations where budget models sometimes beat premium ones because nobody knew about these power restrictions. Under fresh guidelines, brands need to display key facts like base TGP, Dynamic Boost limits, and exact clock speeds on product pages. NVIDIA mentioned they partner with laptop manufacturers to ensure power specs appear on their websites...
Intel driver update a glitchy mess that irks gamers
Intel just released a new Arc GPU Graphics Driver, version 101.6653 Beta. This update adds support for three games: inZOI, KARMA: The Dark World, and The First Berserker: Khazan.
