If you heard that AMD's next-gen Zen 5 processors were going to be 40% faster than current Ryzen 7000 models, you'd have a hard time believing it, right?

Well, this is the claim made by a fresh piece of spillage from the rumor mill, and it's something we need to dig into a little.

The speculation emerged over at the Anandtech forums, as 3D Center flagged up on X (formerly Twitter), where well-known leaker Kepler told us: "Core for core Zen5 is >40% faster than Zen4 in SPEC."

If you're one of the Windows 11 users out there who missed the drag and drop functionality that once applied to File Explorer's address bar, well, you can breathe a sigh of relief - it's coming back.

This is the ability to grab a file in a folder and drag it over to place the file directly in another folder using the bar at the top of the folder window.

It's a pretty basic ability really, but it was removed with the Windows 11 23H2 Moment 4 update.

NVIDIA's RTX 3060 is busy cementing its lead as the most popular graphics card with Steam gamers.

If you follow the Steam hardware survey, you'll likely be acquainted with the dominance of the RTX 3060 in the GPU department of late, as the NVIDIA board has been at the top of the rankings since October 2023 (when it dethroned the GTX 1650, in fact).

The RTX 3060 has been up and down a little in its percentages since then. The GPU rose to a mighty 6.27% last October, then dropped back down towards the 5% mark - still remaining in place as the top graphics card, mind - before grabbing a 6.17% share of Steam gamers in February.

An investigation has been launched into a space object that crashed through the roof and both floors of a two-story house in Naples, Florida.

The object smashed through the roof of Alejandro Otero's home in Naples, Florida, on March 8. At the time, Otero wasn't home, but his son was. Notably, the home's Nest camera managed to capture the sound of the object crashing through the roof, with the time stamp being 2:34 pm local time (19:34 UTC). That timestamp is an important piece of information as it's around the time when US Space Command recorded the reentry of a space junk that was traced back to the International Space Station (ISS).

US Space Command recorded space junk reentering Earth's atmosphere at 2:29 pm EST (19:29 UTC), and this object was on track to land somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, near southwest Florida. Furthermore, the space junk was depleted batteries from the ISS and was attached to a cargo pallet that was originally planned to be returned to Earth safely. However, due to several delays, the pallet missed its opportunity to be returned back to Earth, and instead, NASA decided to launch it from the ISS with the goal of an unguided entry. The launch occurred in 2021.

In the world of video game consoles the PlayStation 2 has long held the title for the most sold console of all time, but was the official number right?

In the most recent episode of the PlayStation Podcast, which featured former PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan, the number of PS2 unit sales was revealed to be underreported. Previously, unit sales for the PS2 placed the iconic console at approximately 155 million units, which was reported back in 2012, but now the official number has been revealed, and according to the former official, it's at 160 million units, a difference of about 5 million.

While that number may seem like a negligible difference, it makes all the difference when the Nintendo Switch is closing in on the crown with 139 million units sold. It's good to finally know a definitive number for the unit sales of the world's best-selling console, as previously it was rough estimations. It remains to be seen if Nintendo's handheld will break through the 150 or even 160 million unit sale barrier before Nintendo releases the successor to the popular handheld.

The AI boom is in full swing, with Microsoft and OpenAI teaming up to build a $100 billion AI supercomputer, Amazon planning to spend $150 billion on data centers, and Meta planning to install 50,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs by the end of 2024. These are mind-boggling projects, and with powerful GPU hardware at the heart of them, you can be sure that the power bills will be astronomical.

Governments and big tech are aware of the "AI power issue" and are looking at nuclear energy as a potential solution. US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm spoke with Axiom to confirm that it plans to accelerate discussions with companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon to host "small nuclear plants" next to their massive data centers.

"AI itself isn't a problem because AI could help solve the problem," Granholm said, nodding toward the AI boom as a good thing.

OpenAI has decided to make ChatGPT even more accessible than it already is, as users now don't have to make an account to use the artificial intelligence-powered tool.

TechCrunch has reported that starting today users will no longer have to make an account to access the world's most popular AI-powered chatbot, with the company behind the tool, OpenAI, telling the publication that the even freer version will use the same large language model as logged in users, but with some changes. Searching for chat.openai.com will now bring users to an open conversation with ChatGPT, but unlogged in users won't get access to the AI's full range of features such as saving chats, using custom instructions, and more.

Notably, users without an account will still be able to disable OpenAI using chats for training its model, which can be achieved by heading to the question mark in the lower right-hand side, clicking "settings" and then navigating to the disable data tracking toggle. Furthermore, the even freer ChatGPT will come with "slightly more restrictive content policies," which are seemingly not specified. When asked by TechCrunch and OpenAI spokesperson responded with the below message.

ASUS announced the ROG Keris II Ace ultralight gaming mouse at CES 2024. This mouse follows up on the excellent ASUS ROG Keris Wireless AimPoint we reviewed in 2022. The Keris II includes several upgrades, notably the reduced ultralight build, which is now just 54 - 20 grams lighter than the original.

In addition, the optical sensor has been upgraded to the new ROG AimPoint Pro, which features 42,000 DPI sensitivity with less than 1% deviation and can accurately track on glass. With ROG Polling Rate Booster and ROG SpeedNova wireless technology, you can get up to 4,000 Hz polling rate over wireless and 8,000 Hz in wired mode.

Interestingly, ASUS has made significant changes to the shape. The new esports professional-tested ergonomic shape includes a higher bump on the body compared to the original and most gaming mice with

Following the source code for Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto V leaking online in December, a group of modders is attempting to get the iconic game to run on the Nintendo Switch, Android and Linux.

The fansite GTA Focal has reported a group of modders that took to X to share their progress on March 28 are attempting to get the 2013 game to run on the Nintendo Switch. The video posted to the platform formerly called Twitter shows the title in a loading screen that is repeatedly plagued with error messages. One video shows the Nintendo Switch running the loading screen and then multiple errors popping up, while the other shows a screenshot of an Android error message.

It should be noted that Grand Theft Auto V was originally designed to run on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which means the Nintendo Switch should have hardware powerful enough to run GTA 5. However, it isn't as simple as just plugging in the leaked source code into a different platform and then expecting it to work, as the Nintendo Switch and Android devices have completely different hardware configurations.
