Intel Reportedly Told PC Makers Their CPUs Are Getting More Expensive, and the Timing Couldn’t Be Worse

Intel is reportedly preparing for an extensive price hike across its entire CPU product line amid struggles to balance consumer and enterprise demand.

CPU manufacturers are currently in the industry spotlight as AI moves towards inference, where CPU-dependent workloads are gaining greater importance. This has driven demand for x86 firms like Intel and AMD to a scale where servicing it has become difficult without adjusting production lines, leading those firms to step back from the consumer segment. A says Intel plans to prepare the PC industry for CPU price hikes,


NVIDIA DLSS vs AMD FSR vs Intel XeSS — Everything You Need To Know About The Three Main GPU Vendor Technologies

Over the past decade, real-time graphics rendering has faced an increasingly difficult challenge: delivering higher visual fidelity while maintaining playable performance. Technologies like ray tracing and path tracing dramatically improve realism, but they also push GPUs to their limits. To address this problem, GPU vendors (NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel) have introduced neural rendering and image reconstruction technologies designed to not only improve performance — via temporal upscaling — but also improve visual smoothness — via frame generation/interpolation — and denoising of ray/path-traced

New Survey Shows 9/10 Game Workers Disagree With Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, Say Game Stores Should Have GenAI Disclosures

In one of the many points made about Generative AI (GenAI) tech in game development within the last year, as the technology continues to be a hot topic in video games, Epic Games chief executive officer Tim Sweeney argued that game stores like Steam having disclosures for when a game was made with GenAI tools " makes no sense ."

Sweeney believes that the tech will become as common in game development as game engines, and that " It makes no sense for game stores, where AI will be involved in nearly all


“It’s Just So Lame” – RTGI Modder Thinks DLSS 5 Is Impressive Tech But Shares AI Slop Sentiment to a “Big Degree”

The reveal of NVIDIA DLSS 5 certainly didn't leave anybody unmoved. Between people who praised it as one of the most impressive demos and as a next-generation moment for graphics , and the strong backlash of many who view it as little more than an AI filter corrupting the original artistic vision of a game , the technology's debut at GTC 2026 has undoubtedly riled up gamers on both sides of the argument.

Amidst all the noise created by such a heated public debate, it may be hard

A 16GB LPDDR5X RAM Paired With 1TB Of UFS 4.1 Storage Is Now Retailing At A 19 Percent Premium To Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Chip

Who could have imagined just a couple of years back that memory chips would emerge as the apex predator in a semiconductor world increasingly dominated by AI-related demand dynamics? Yet, this bizarro projection has panned out, and to such an extent that a typical LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage bundle for high-end smartphones is now substantially eclipsing the cost of entire Application Processors (APs), including Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

The Weibo-based tipster, Digital Chat Station, has


PlayStation Quietly Announces PSVR2 Shooter Firewall Ultra is Shutting Down by Updating a Three-Year-Old Blog

Most developers and publishers, when announcing that they are shutting down the online services for a game or stopping development of new content, at least give players the respect of making an individual announcement, separate from the rest of the game's official news timeline, so that if someone were to find that game years after release, they could see it as the most recent, relevant bit of information. No one would have the gall to update a post from years ago and essentially bury the information, right? No one

NVIDIA’s Rubin CPX Is Off the Roadmap, Replaced by Groq LPUs for Inference, But May Return With Feynman in 2028

NVIDIA's Rubin CPX chip was surprisingly not shown at GTC, and according to a new update, it appears the solution is currently 'delayed' and positioned for Feynman.

For those unaware, NVIDIA has been trying to crack the inference segment by releasing dedicated solutions since ASICs gained traction around Q3 of last year, and one of those launches was the Rubin CPX chip. It was one of the first rack-focused solutions to feature GDDR7 memory on board , and the idea was to target prefill workloads in
