M1 Ultra Is Only 4.5 Percent Slower Than a Workstation 64-Core CPU in Multi-Threaded Workloads The top-tier version of the M1 Ultra was benchmarked on Geekbench 5, and in the single-core category, the chip secured a score of 1793. The result makes it faster than the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X with 64 cores and 128 threads, which obtained a score of 1213. However, it is still the fastest processor in the multi-score department, getting 25133 points, whereas the M1 Ultra got 24055....

The M2 MacBook Air Will Still Be a Pricey Purchase, so Entry-Level Notebooks Will Continue to Sell Well Laptop manufacturers that use Intel processors are seemingly sweating over the release of the M2 MacBook Air, according to a report by DigiTimes that was spotted by MacRumors. In the higher-end category, one vendor believes that the upcoming notebook will outsell its competitors. The M2 MacBook Air is priced at $1,199 in the U....

Earlier Rumor Claimed the M1 Ultra’s Successor Could Fuse Two Powerful Apple Silicon for the Mac Pro During Apple’s presentation of the M1 Ultra, the company announced that its most powerful chipset was not only eight-times the size of the M1 but it was made by combining two M1 Max parts, a process the Cupertino-based giant likes to call UltraFusion. This process helps unlock new performance levels for the Mac Studio, and since it is meant to be a stationary machine, it can operate at a higher wattage without any worry for portability or battery drain....

— ᴅʀ. ʙʀᴏʟʏ l Comms Open l (2/5) (@Dr_Broly) May 22, 2022 Through the power of memes such as this, its characters, and many other “quotable moments” from that Max0r video, Revengeance has seen a rather large player spike on Steam lately, according to SteamCharts. Back when its PC version launched in 2014, the game’s peak concurrent players were around 1900 users, which is alright. Things really picked up in December, when the meme culture had an unexpected resurgence (I almost had you there)....

Originally, the game had a Nintendo Switch version announced all the way back in March 2020, and that kind of fell off the map since. Naturally, people would want to start asking questions about where it disappeared, and GoNintendo decided to take it upon themselves to figure that out. To be fair to people waiting for that to come to Switch, they’ve watched as all three of the other versions have been getting all of the attention....

Ask any successful investor the key to his success, and the answer invariably involves an innate ability to allow the winning bets to run while cutting short the losing ones. In the case of Nancy Pelosi, however, even forced capitulation ends up on the winning side, as recently occurred with the US House Speaker’s bet on NVIDIA shares, thereby establishing the prominent politician as a veritable stock-picking guru. 5/21/21 - Purchased 200 LEAPS with an exp date of June 2022 7/23/21 - Purchased 5,000 shares at $195....

Previous-generation Apple Watch models paired with an iPhone’s GPS to conserve battery life In the Apple support document, where the company briefs users on how they can calibrate their Apple Watch to get accurate measurements during exercises and other activities, the company notes that this will happen when the newer wearables start using their own GPS. Previously, connecting to an iPhone to use the latter’s GPS meant that users were getting more battery life in return, but this also meant that they would receive an inaccurate reading during calibration....

Ahead of the launch of Guerrilla’s Horizon: Forbidden West later this month, the Ghost of Tsushima team has added a new Horizon-themed armor to the game in collaboration with Guerrilla Game.

Second-Biggest Revenue Generator for Apple Is Surprisingly Services, Which Beats out the Rest of the Physical Products The infograph shared by a Twitter account with the username iPhone 15 Ultra reveals that the iPhone generates a whopping $191.7 billion in revenue for Apple, capturing 52 percent of the entire income stream. One would assume that since the iPhone commands such monetary power over Apple’s entire product, it can end up becoming a weakness for the company, but that is not the case here....

Speaking on the Official PlayStation Podcast, Jim Ryan also confirmed that they have massive publisher participation, so we should expect plenty of third-party titles to be included in the service’s library. In addition, it won’t just be big names, as the SIE CEO did mention that also small indie publishers are among the 200 partners already on board. The revamped PS Plus service has been announced last week. The service will introduce three different subscription tiers starting this June that will grant users access to classic PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PSP titles while merging the PS Plus and PS Now services....

That’s not to say there isn’t any opposition. Indie game store Itch.io publically stated they believe NFTs are a scam; Warren Spector, the creator of System Shock and Deus Ex, said they are ridiculous; Blizzard promised not to engage in any of that, and even Electronic Arts doesn’t have current plans in the area. A few days ago, Mark Venturelli (CEO of Rogue Snail, the studio behind the upcoming game Relic Hunters Legend) joined the chorus with a surprising talk delivered at Brazil’s International Games Festival....

This month’s numbers are a bit interesting as they show that U.S. consumer spending on video game content, hardware, and accessories reached $4.1 billion during September 2022, a decline of 4% compared to the same month a year ago. The interesting part comes from the Hardware sector, as it was the best-performing segment during the month. See, in previous reports, Hardware has seen the short end of the stick due to supply issues....

Let’s dive into the technology advancements that allow these incredible achievements. To begin with, NVIDIA engineers started with DLSS Super Resolution and added something called Optical Multi Frame Generation based on Ada’s Optical Flow Accelerator. This accelerator analyzes two sequential frames from a particular game, capturing pixel details such as particles, reflections, lighting, and shadows. On top of that, NVIDIA DLSS 3 also takes into account conventional game engine information such as motion vectors....

NVIDIA’s Canned GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 16 GB Graphics Cards Shows Up Once Again In Listing The last time we heard about the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 16 GB graphics card, it was earlier this year when the company was planning to launch its GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card. But it was later revealed that the company had canned all plans to release the 16 GB variant and focus their existing lineup in a new market that no longer could be taken advantage of from the crypto business....
