New reports suggest that industry-wide NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 server racks reached 1500 units in April versus 1000 units in Q1 2025, with Quanta shipping 300-400 GB200 racks in April, Wistron shipping 150-150 GB200 racks, and Hon Hai shipping 1000 GB200 racks, all in April alone.

Insider @Jukanlosreve reported the numbers, stating that they're from a US brokerage firm, so there is no link to this report other than what is on the X post.

Ori studio says it 'might not be around' in a few months due to review-bombing

Ille Smolanko | Gaming | May 11, 2025 9:38 PM CDT

Moon Studios, the developers behind the acclaimed Ori series, is facing financial difficulties as it prepares to release its latest ARPG, No Rest for the Wicked.

Ori studio says it 'might not be around' in a few months due to review-bombing

As outlined in a recent forum post, Moon Studios has been struggling to cover development costs due to negative reviews affecting sales. Studio head Thomas Mahler highlighted, "in people's mind, there's always some big publisher in the background who'll cover costs". However, in the case of Moon Studios, negotiations with its former publisher saw the team go fully independent in March 2025 - leaving the studio without a financial backer.

No Rest for the Wicked launched in early access on April 19, 2025. The game accumulated just under 15,000 reviews, with a 69% positive rating in its first week. Many players praised the game's art style and cinematic presentation, but criticisms mounted due to the game's "needless" difficulty, performance issues, and general frustrations around the experience.

Ille Smolanko | Gaming | May 10, 2025 9:59 PM CDT

Star Wars: The Old Republic's Game Update 7.7, "Dynamic Worlds", is now available for testing on the game's public test server (PTS). The update adds a swath of new content, including dynamic encounters, character modernization, storyline advancements, and more - and is expected to arrive between late May and early June.

As outlined in a recent developer livestream, Update 7.7 focuses on adding new dynamic encounters to the game. In SWTOR, dynamic encounters are a new type of "scheduled, timed quests" that range from humorous to exciting. For example, carrying baby Tauntauns up a hill, helping a Gonk droid with advertising, or launching Gamorreans into a Sarlacc pit.

"Dynamic Worlds" adds new encounters to Tython, Korriban, Ord Mantell, Hutta, Dromund Kass, Coruscant, and Ilum. Allowing players to engage with a variety of new, timed quests on some of the game's major planets. Broadsword specifies that dynamic content "changes, depending on where your character is in the story," and advises testers to experiment across the game's many different eras.

NVIDIA rumored with even-more-cut-down H20 AI GPU for China, complies with US export rules

Anthony Garreffa | Artificial Intelligence | May 9, 2025 11:11 PM CDT

NVIDIA is reportedly preparing an even more downgraded H20 AI GPU for China in the next two months, following further tightening US export restrictions on the original H20.

NVIDIA rumored with even-more-cut-down H20 AI GPU for China, complies with US export rules

The news is coming from the usual "people familiar with the matter" reports Reuters, with NVIDIA notifying major Chinese retailers -- including large cloud computing providers -- with a new modified H20 AI GPU in July, according to "two of the sources".

We have had recent rumors that NVIDIA was preparing a next-generation H30 AI GPU that would drop from using HBM to GDDR memory, but it seems NVIDIA is tweaking the GPU again. The original H20 chip was the most powerful AI chip that NVIDIA could legally sell in China, but the US government informed the company last month that H20 would now require an export license, effectively cutting NVIDIA off from the Chinese market.

PSSR 2 upscaling on PS5 Pro rumor: proper 4K 120FPS and 8K 60FPS supported, ready for GTA 6

Anthony Garreffa | Gaming | May 9, 2025 10:10 PM CDT

Sony is rumored to be cooking up its next-gen PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling technology, ready for its PS5 Pro console, and I will continue to say: perfect for Grand Theft Auto 6.

PSSR 2 upscaling on PS5 Pro rumor: proper 4K 120FPS and 8K 60FPS supported, ready for GTA 6

In a new video from leaker Moore's Law is Dead, we're hearing that the new PSSR 2 upscaler might not actually be branded PSSR -- or branded at all -- but the leaker says that PSSR requires a base resolution of 864p (1536 x 864) and is then upscaled using AI to 4K on the PS5 Pro.

Sony reportedly wants to nail down 4K 120FPS (locked) and even 8K 60FPS with PSSR support, with MLID noting that if game developers can get their game running on the PS5 Pro running well at 4K at even 55-60FPS, then PSSR will let developers get to 70-80FPS (noting that it doesn't get you to 100FPS).
