Intel's next-next gen Lunar Lake architectural details surface

Intel is putting the finishing touches on its upcoming 14th Gen CPU range. As we draw closer to a launch, it's not uncommon to get a few leaks including performance estimates, a release date or a new feature. Some leaks are more credible than others, but these come directly from ASRock. So until we come to the launch day and an announcement from Intel, this is about as official as it gets.

Remember that rumour Intel was scaling back on its plans for its next-gen Battlemage graphics architecture we reported last month? At the time we said something about it didn't square up. But now there's new, arguably more substantial, information that implies Intel hasn't reduced its ambitions for Battlemage at all. Intel's next Arc GPU could still be targeting performance up to Nvidia RTX 4080 levels.

The test tools for Intel's next-generation Battlemage GPUs which will be used in 2024's Arc gaming lineup have been spotted online.

There's a freshly leaked image of a Radeon chiplet GPU design—reportedly from a now-cancelled Navi 4C die—and it's rocking anywhere between 13 and 20 different chiplets on one GPU. I love a bit of ambition, but I think we're starting to see why AMD really might be calling time on competing at the high end in its next graphics card generation.

Netflix has announced a move that many have been waiting for the company to make ever since it started to get into gaming: game streaming direct to TVs.

In a development that will surprise no-one who knows computing history, it has been rumoured Intel's next-gen desktop CPUs, codenamed Arrow Lake, will contain a whole lot more cache memory. Like, potentially a 75% increase in total L2 cache for the top Arrow Lake CPU. And we've seen what a fat wad of cache can do for gaming performance, right?

A picture of an upcoming LGA1851 desktop CPU has made its way onto the internet. Though a picture of a CPU that's a year or more from release isn't particularly amazing, what is interesting is that it appears to be a Meteor Lake sample. While Meteor Lake-S was seemingly canceled, the existence of CPUs such as these tells us Intel got a long way down the Meteor Lake-S development path.

After the vague announcement of what seemed like little more than a licensing agreement earlier this year, we now know that TMNT: The Last Ronin is in development for PC and next-gen consoles under publisher THQ Nordic.

Djinns are the ultimate masters of deception, and even Baldur’s Gate 3’s Akabi and his Spinning Wheel follow suit. At the Circus of the Last Days, there’s plenty of fun and chaos to be had. By interacting with Djinn Akabi, players get a chance to win the Spinning Wheel’s Jackpot, which reward is never revealed. Yet, despite your best efforts, that coveted prize remains elusive, prompting the question: is the Djinn stacking the deck? It’s a safe bet, a sneaky move that is keeping you away from getting the Nyrulna, a legendary trident in BG3.

As AMD's next-gen Zen 5 CPUs come close to launch, it seems like Linux 6.6 has started to receive new patches based on the upcoming "Family 1Ah" architecture.

Intel's latest Permon update has added support for next-gen Lunar Lake CPUs & confirmed the latest Lion Cove and Skymont core architectures.

Intel has confirmed to unveil its next-gen Client CPU roadmap along with the upcoming Meteor Lake "Core Ultra" chips at Innovation 2023.
