Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chips for 4K XR

Intel has begun enablement for its next-gen E-Core Xeon CPUs codenamed Clearwater Forest which will adopt the Darkmont core architecture.

Today, almost a year and a half after the modding platform's announcement, NVIDIA releases the highly anticipated RTX Remix creator toolkit Open Beta. While the runtime has been available for some time, the public availability of the creator toolkit should really kickstart the modders' work to easily remaster classic PC games with cutting-edge rendering features like path tracing, DLSS 3, and AI-upscaled assets. NVIDIA is also partnering with ModDB to make it easier for users to check out which games are compatible with RTX Remix and to get the optimized configuration files to run the mods.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be Qualcomm’s first smartphone SoC to be equipped with custom Oryon cores as the company looks to adopt the same configuration as Apple’s A-series family. From a performance perspective, we can expect it to be the best silicon the San Diego has ever released. The chipset’s capabilities were rumored to have been tested in an engineering sample with Genshin Impact running and for a chip that has yet to enter mass production, it delivers respectable performance.

Xbox kicked off its 2024 with a jam-packed Developer Direct showcase, bringing reveals and updates on four upcoming releases from four studios, plus a bonus update from Square Enix. The 45-minute presentation, streamed live on YouTube and Xbox's other social channels late Thursday, took the covers off MachineGames' upcoming Indiana Jones game, provided a release date for the highly anticipated Senua's Saga, and revealed a release window for Avowed, Obsidian's next big fantasy RPG.

It's official: we've finally gotten our first look at the upcoming Indiana Jones game from Wolfenstein developer MachineGames: it's called Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and it's out later this year.

After having showcased the likes of Avowed and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, Microsoft chose to close its second Xbox Developer_Direct presentation with our first official look at MachineGames’ Indiana Jones title, as previously confirmed, revealing a host of new details on the highly anticipated title.

As part of the Xbox Developer Direct Livestream, MachineGames showed off their upcoming Indiana Jones project, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. Most importantly, it involves Harrison Ford(‘s likeness) and punching Nazis. Two awesome things.

A new Kirin chipset was rumored to be introduced by Huawei later in the year when it unveiled its P70 flagship series. While that might still be true, the company could use some of its Kirin 9000S supply for one model, which may not sit well with everyone.

Lockheed Martin Corp. and NASA gave the public a sneak peek of a plane that could pave the way for cutting some flight times in half.  The X-59, which was unveiled on Friday afternoon in Palmdale, California, has been designed to fly faster than the speed of sound with much less noise. When planes break the sound barrier — called Mach 1 — a loud and continuous sonic boom is created that can shatter windows on the ground. The US banned civilian aircraft from reaching this speed over land in 1973.

The PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions of Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story will launch on January 31 at 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET / 4:00 p.m. GMT, publisher Riot Forge and developer Tequila Works announced.

The P70 series will be Huawei’s first flagship lineup for the year, comprising of the regular model, followed by the P70 Pro and, likely, the top-tier model, the P70 Art. To make the launch slightly different from the Mate 60 from 2023 that featured the Kirin 9000S, a new rumor claims that Huawei is developing a new chipset for the upcoming family of flagship smartphones called the Kirin 9010.
