Apple keeps cooking up its own chips because the company hates relying on anyone else, and the next project dropping is Baltra. This custom AI server chip should land sometime around 2027, with Apple and Broadcom teaming up on the design work using TSMC's 3nm manufacturing process. The chip...

Bungie dropped a fresh ViDoc for Marathon and locked down a release window for their extraction shooter. The game hits shelves in March 2026 at forty bucks, which puts it between free-to-play trash and full AAA pricing. Sony's backing this one after multiple delays pushed it way past the...

Samsung just shot down internet chatter claiming the company would stop making SATA SSDs. A spokesperson told reporters the whole thing was bogus after people started freaking out about losing another major SSD supplier. The panic made sense since Micron already bailed on consumer storage...

Ubisoft grabbed the MOBA March of Giants from Amazon and folded the Montreal team into its studio when the deal wrapped. Creative director Xavier Marquis used to helm Rainbow Six Siege at Ubisoft before, and senior production lead Alexandre Parizeau ran the Toronto office back in the day. Amazon...

Some creator called Aillusory dropped an AI-enhanced version of The Witcher 3 that makes the whole thing look photorealistic while keeping the original vibe mostly intact. The project regenerated basically everything from scenery to character models using footage from the base game, and people...

NVIDIA scooped up SchedMD, the crew behind Slurm workload management software that handles job scheduling for more than half the systems on the TOP500 supercomputer rankings. The chipmaker promised to keep the project open source and vendor-neutral while throwing resources at development to help...

ASUS dropped some slimmer graphics cards under their DUAL EVO branding that squeeze down to 2.1 slots instead of the usual 2.5-slot chunkers. The trimmed versions cover both factory overclocked and stock speed RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and RTX 5060 8GB models, which all use twin axial fans to keep temps...

Thunderobot and Machenike are bringing a 1.6kg gaming laptop called ZERO Air to CES that apparently pairs Intel's fresh Panther Lake chips with RTX 5000-series mobile graphics. The 16-inch machine gets marketed as having dual full-power performance, though nobody really knows what that means...

India just rolled out DHRUV64, a homegrown chip from C-DAC that runs on RISC-V architecture and targets everything from 5G gear to IoT devices. The processor joins earlier domestic efforts like SHAKTI from IIT Madras and VIKRAM from ISRO, and it pushes the country closer to ditching foreign...

KIOXIA just announced the Exceria G3 lineup that pairs PCIe 5.0 bandwidth with QLC flash to undercut the expensive TLC drives everyone else is pushing. The M.2 sticks hit 10,000 MB/s reads and 9,600 MB/s writes on the 2TB model while using eighth-gen BiCS FLASH memory, and they launch later this...

GSC Game World dropped a free expansion for STALKER 2 that throws players into a weird mystery about a radio signal messing with stalkers near Malachite. Professor Medulin and some radio geek named Banzai got caught up investigating why people were getting headaches and hallucinations from the...

Marvell just flexed some seriously efficient SRAM tech at their analyst day, and the numbers make standard solutions look pretty rough. Their 2nm IP burns 80% less power than typical 256K implementations, takes up 37% less space, and cycles 22% quicker. The layout is more rectangular, which...

HDMI LA is bringing three cable types to CES to show off gaming performance, with the new Ultra96 from the 2.2 spec making its debut alongside Ultra High Speed and Premium High Speed variants. The booth will feature a 500Hz monitor hooked up to an Xbox Series X and a tricked-out gaming PC, plus...

HKC just dropped what they claim is the first RGB Mini-LED gaming monitor on the planet, and it sounds pretty sick on paper. The M10 Ultra rocks 4,788 dimming zones with separate red-green-blue channel control instead of the usual white backlight setup, which supposedly nukes the halo effect...

Samsung's foundry division is apparently trying to lock down AMD as a customer for its second-gen 2nm process called SF2P, and word is they might ink something by next month. The chipmaker would test AMD designs through a multi-project wafer run first to check yields before committing to full...

Some dude named Loïc Desjardins dropped a Mac app called Logic Articulation Set Editor that gives Logic Pro users way better control over their articulation sets than the stock DAW tools. The software lets people build new sets from nothing or tweak existing ones with features like batch...

NVIDIA just flexed on everyone by hitting 410 trillion traversed edges per second on the Graph500 benchmark using 8,192 H100 GPUs in a CoreWeave datacenter in Dallas. That crushed the competition by more than double and used way fewer nodes than other top entries, making it three times more...

Sapphire is basically begging AMD to loosen up and let AIB partners cook with their GPU designs, according to Ed Crisler from the company. The chipmaker apparently has strict rules that stop them from going wild with stuff like hardcore overclocking models or dead-silent cards that enthusiasts...

Samsung might axe its consumer SATA III SSD lines because NAND flash is getting scarce across the board, and most of it is going to datacenter giants and AI labs instead of regular folks buying drives for their gaming rigs. The company is also apparently switching some of its NAND facilities in...

ZANU-PF wrapped up the year feeling pretty good about itself, with President Mnangagwa and the party brass talking up what they called big wins on infrastructure, membership growth, and keeping everyone in line. The ruling party pushed hard on dams, power projects, and housing schemes while...
