People say Microsoft plans to create a new handheld gaming device together with ASUS, Lenovo, MSI, and Razer. This Xbox-branded Windows portable aims to fit perfectly into everything Microsoft offers gamers today. You might play powerful games anywhere you go, not just at home on your couch. Rumors point to a possible launch before the year ends, letting players move smoothly between different devices with cloud gaming benefits.
Talk has started about a future console coming after the Xbox Series X around 2027. Microsoft designed this next machine to play all your older games without problems. CEO Satya Nadella reportedly gave the green light for developers to start working on it, showing how Microsoft thinks ahead about gaming tech...
Lenovo just released a unique portable SSD that looks like a grenade. The aluminum case stands out from the regular boring drives you see everywhere. Lenovo teamed up with the makers of the movie Operation Dragon to create this cool storage device. Tech folks who need fast, reliable storage will appreciate this drive, which works with the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard.
The 1TB version moves data super fast - you can read files at 1050 MB per second and write at 1000 MB per second. Nobody knows yet if you can bring this grenade-shaped drive on planes, trains, or subways because of how it looks. But the performance makes it perfect for everyday heavy computer use. It handles tough work without making big promises it can't keep.

People noticed something interesting on the Mexican DD Tech website recently. They added AMD Radeon RX 9050 and RX 9060 graphics cards to their product filters. The expected RX 9060 XT didn't show up anywhere on the site, though. We can't tell yet if these listings represent actual products or just work as placeholder names for future releases.
Tech experts think the RX 9050 might use the NAVI 44 GPU if it actually exists. This would make it less powerful than the RX 9060, which has probably no more than 8GB of video memory. AMD hasn't released a card in this performance range since the Radeon RX 6000 series, which used RDNA 2 architecture. They skipped making an equivalent card when they moved to the RDNA 3 series.
The story gets...
AMD just released their top desktop chip called the Ryzen 9 9950X3D. This powerhouse leads both gaming performance and work tasks like content creation. AMD rushed their earlier model, the 9800X3D, into stores last November to catch holiday shoppers when Intel chips fell short. The 9800X3D beat Intel chips by more than ten percent in games but had fewer cores for work tasks.
Intel chips packed eight performance cores plus 16 efficiency cores, giving them an edge for productivity despite losing at gaming. AMD created these new Ryzen 9 models specifically to fix that gap. They want chips that excel at everything, not just games. These fresh processors keep the gaming advantage plus add more cores for heavy work tasks.
The 9950X3D comes...

Android phone makers plan to copy Apple by removing physical SIM card slots from their fancy new phones. Digital Chat Station, which leaks accurate Qualcomm info constantly, posted this news on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. Apple kicked off this trend with iPhone 14 models back in 2022. Taking out that little card tray lets companies make phones skinnier and pack more stuff inside.
The really thin Android phones coming soon might run on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2, which has a codename SM8850. Companies are testing these devices right now with embedded SIM cards built right into the phone—no slots needed! Removing physical cards helps designers create ultra-slim devices that look sleeker.
Digital Chat Station suggests we pay...
MercurySteam makes Blades of Fire after their success with Metroid Dread. This fantasy adventure happens during times when Steel becomes stone because an evil witch queen casts a spell. Only her father's brainwashed army keeps metal weapons. The main character, Aran de Lira, finds a special hammer that lets him create weapons to fight back against this threat.
The game changes how players think about action adventures. You build different weapons instead of growing one character. Each weapon comes out unique when you forge it. MercurySteam wants players to feel like they make their arsenal rather than follow the usual path of making one hero stronger through the story.
The team at MercurySteam started working together 24 years ago...
