The same chip is going to be one of the highest-end offerings within Intel’s 4th Gen Datacenter lineup and will be offering some high-end specifications which should’ve been a great combatant against AMD’s EPYC Milan if it was not for the several delays....

iPad Pro Series Use a Different Display Component, Which Allows Apple’s ProMotion Technology to Be Compatible With It After being asked about the display upgrade arriving for the iPad mini 7, well-connected Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) analyst, Ross Young responded that he would be ‘surprised’ if the tablet would support ProMotion technology. His reasoning for the iPad mini 7 missing out on this change is simple. The non-Pro tablet lineup from Apple uses an a-Si LCD backplane that is not compatible with ProMotion....

The port, which has been showcased in a new video shared by @SteveBH on Twitter, uses an OpenGL renderer, it’s fully playable and comes with some additional options not found in the original release. Audio, unfortunately, is missing, so for a truly fully playable experience on PC, players will need to resort to emulation. The team behind this port also plans to release Jak II and Jak 3 native PC ports, which will definitely be more interesting to see in action, given how they are more technically advanced and much bigger in scope than the first entry in the series....

Asobo Studio’s Kevin Pinson said as much in an interview in the most recent issue of Play Magazine (issue number 19, via MP1ST)). Although the designer talked about the PS5 version of the game (Play is a PlayStation-focused magazine), this clearly applies to all next-gen platforms. “Specifically, we are a game about light,” Asobo Studio’s lead level designer Kevin Pinson told Play Magazine. “The power of the PS5 allows us to have more lights, [and] do more things with it....

Different Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Version Also Features a Varying Model Number to Indicate Some Specification Differences The revelation was spotted on Twitter and comes from Ice Universe, who claims another Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 version with the model number ‘SM8550-AC’ exists. It is unclear why Qualcomm chose never to disclose the existence of this variant or if this one actually exists. Then again, we did report previously that the San Diego chipset maker was rumored to be working on two Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 versions with varying CPU clock speeds....

While all these titles are solid in their own right, they do not feel particularly innovative, as they all come with the same features that have been central to the genre since its beginnings with some tweaks here and there. This isn’t necessarily a problem, as CRPGs are more about worldbuilding, atmosphere, story, and actual role-playing, but one has to wonder if there wasn’t a way to innovate the genre in some way without having to leave behind what makes a great CRPG so compelling....

Memtest86+ is not a standard application that runs specifically in Windows 11 or any other notable operating system. The software is built to run on any platform, allowing the software to recognize a higher amount of flaws than proprietary BIOS software, which is found on most mainline motherboards. Memtest86+ can be installed onto a USB flash drive, CD-ROM, or through a network and installed effortlessly onto a system. If Memtest86+ sounds familiar, it is probably due to some users mistaking the software for the forked, close-source version, PassMark Memtest86....

Michael Larabel of the open-source tech outlet, Phoronix conducted further testing on AMD’s Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs, including the Ryzen 9 7950X and the Ryzen 5 7600X.
