NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang thinks that the current AI insanity will lead to AI automation worth a mind-boggling $50 trillion worth of companies, and that NVIDIA's new Blackwell GPU architecture will play a (gigantic) role in that future.

At the recent NVIDIA Annual General Meeting, the company's shareholders talked about future plans including compensation packages for top NVIDIA executives, including CEO Jensen Huang.

During the meeting, Jensen talked about the future of the AI markets being bright and "green" as well, claiming that companies are moving towards automation and that the AI automation sector could grow into a $50 trillion stream, which would make it one of the largest markets on the planet.

Sony and Legendary Pictures plan to release a new live action Street Fighter film in early 2026, sources tell Variety and Deadline.

A new live action movie based on the best-selling Street Fighter series is currently in the works at Sony and Legendary Pictures, with the popular games publisher Capcom producing. The film is set to launch in theaters in March 20, 2026, nearly three after the release of Street Fighter 6, the most recent entry in the popular franchise.

No concrete details on the film's central plot have been revealed at this time, and information on who will star in the film--alongside who will direct it--remains scarce. Danny and Michael Phillippou--directors behind 2022's Talk to Me--were originally to direct the Street Fighter adaptation, but both have detached from the project due to scheduling conflicts.

Amazon Games VP Christoph Hartmann believes that artificial intelligence will help fuel major innovations in games and software.

With its disruptive effects on jobs, AI is a hot-button topic in gaming. But leaders in the interactive entertainment space are convinced that artificial intelligence can be a net benefit in key ways, such as speeding up production cycles through generative effects and other behind-the-scenes advancements.

Some, like Amazon Games lead Christoph Hartmann, have gone so far to say that AI will 'define your game in the future,' a thought predicated on using the nascent technology to help give players more control and agency in how they interact with game worlds.

MSI has made a new BIOS update available that prepares the ground for the release of Ryzen 9000 processors next month, and it comes with a major bonus for those who run NVIDIA RTX 4000 graphics cards to boot.

The new AMD AGESA Combo PI-1.2.0.0 BIOS update is for MSI's existing X670E, X670, B650, and A620 motherboards, and it remedies some problems with NVIDIA Lovelace GPUs.

MSI says its new BIOS incorporates a few improvements in terms of compatibility with RTX 4000 products, without giving any details, although it does note that whatever work is applied, it especially pertains to the RTX 4060 and 4070 - bringing in cures for some instability issues.

Amazon's gaming division is currently working on eight different game projects, including publishing games like NCSoft's upcoming free-to-play MMORPG Throne and Liberty.

Amazon Games is pretty busy these days. The division has released multiple titles like the once-popular MMORPG New World, and published Smilegate's MMORPG Lost Ark. Despite the current disruptive macro-economic climate around games (rising costs, mass layoffs, long delays in production pipelines, to name a few), Amazon Games has no plans in slowing down.

The mega-retailer's game branch is active and bustling in a space that is being squeezed by less-than-ideal pressures, with eight different projects in the works. Among the higher-profile games is a fully-fledged new AAA Tomb Raider game from the franchise stewards at Crystal Dynamics alongside a new Lord of the Rings project.

Steam Game Recording is now available in Beta for you to try out. It is Valve's surprise new in-game recording and exporting tool, which sounds a lot like ShadowPlay or recording gameplay on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X consoles.

The new feature is built into Steam and offers background recording, on-demand recording, a replay feature, and a groundbreaking tool for editing tools and creating clips. Plus, you can share videos conveniently, and Steam Game Recording is Steam Deck verified.

One of its groundbreaking and game-changing features worth exploring is the new Timeline with Event Markers. Each recording will include a Timeline overlay that shows when you were in a menu, capturing a screenshot, or unlocking an achievement with Event Marker icons. This makes it super easy to find moments and create highlights and clips.

The original Resident Evil was released in 1996, and over the decades has seen numerous sequels, remasters, remakes, and more. You may be wondering why the original PlayStation-era version of the game becoming available to purchase on PC is a big deal. Well, the version of the game on platforms like Steam is the HD version of the Nintendo GameCube remaster/remake.

The DRM-free Resident Evil, now available on GOG, is the original CD-ROM era version of the game. It features the same cheesy live-action cinematics, low-resolution computer-generated backgrounds, and blocky-as-hell PlayStation graphics from the early days of 3D gaming. For retro gaming fans, all of that is a plus, as is the native support for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

This release marks a new collaboration between Capcom and GOG that will see the original version of the first three Resident Evil games make their way to the platform - so fans can look forward to the original uncut versions of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis releasing soon.

ASUS has launched a new version of its Radeon RX 6500 XT DUAL OC V2 graphics card. The V2 has the same physical design and dimensions as its predecessor (201 x 128 x 40mm). However, there looks to be a different aluminum fin-stack heatsink layout and no RGB lighting this time around. As an RDNA 2-era GPU, it still sports the older DUAL design.

ASUS's Radeon RX 6500 XT DUAL OC V2 is a compact card two-slot card, so it wouldn't have any issues fitting in a small form-factor case or build. Elsewhere, the Radeon RX 6500 XT DUAL OC V2 graphics card features the same overclocked 2820 MHz boost clock as its predecessor, a notable increase over AMD's reference spec of 2610 MHz.

Unfortunately, the underlying memory configuration has not been upgraded, as we saw with ASRock's recent Radeon RX 6500 XT Phantom Gaming 8GB OC, launched a few weeks ago. As the naming suggests, it doubled the Radeon RX 6500 XT's VRAM capacity to 8GB compared to the 4GB of the reference design and ASUS's Radeon RX 6500 XT DUAL OC V2 graphics card.

At Siggraph 2023, NVIDIA announced its new AI-powered Neural Texture Compression (NTC) to reduce texture sizes without sacrificing detail. This would mean download and install sizes for games like Call of Duty or cinematic titles with optional 4K texture packs would decrease for PC gamers. This is excellent news in the age of games taking up 150 GB of storage space.

This week, we've learned that AMD is developing something similar, and it will be AI-powered. It's called Neural Texture Block Compression, and AMD will present its solution at the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering (EGSR) in London on July 2.

"Nobody likes downloading huge game packages," AMD's GPUOpen team writes in the announcement. "Our method compresses the texture using a neural network, reducing data size. Unchanged runtime execution allows easy game integration."

MSI introduced its new EXPERT series high-end graphics card design with the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER EXPERT - with its minimal all-metal shroud and cooling design inspired by NVIDIA's Founders Edition line-up. It's a beautiful design we can't wait to see used again in future models; check out our full review for a breakdown of the design and performance.

Yesterday, images of a custom "Black Myth: Wukong" edition of the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER EXPERT emerged (via Videocardz.com and @hongxing2020 on X), and it looked so good that many believed it to be the real deal. Unfortunately, you're looking at an impressive mod from X user @Lyrae622, who created the card for the highly anticipated game.

A custom Black Myth: Wukong graphics card makes sense, as the game features a suite of RTX technologies, including full ray-tracing DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation. Thanks to its impressive visuals, NVIDIA has promoted the game in the past, so we'd love to see MSI and NVIDIA reach out to @Lyrae622 to create a few of these to give away.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER was released earlier this year. It offers a minor performance bump over the previous non-SUPER variant and a notable increase in the VRAM capacity without a price increase. It launched with NVIDIA's AD103 GPU chip, also featured in the GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 SUPER.

The same GPU chips across various models are uncommon; it depends on the configuration. In the past week, we've seen several reports of new GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER cards from companies like MSI, Colorful, and InnoVision using the 'AD102-225-A1' chip. AD102, for those unfamiliar, is the Ada Lovelace big boy found inside the GeForce RTX 4090.

It's found in the new MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16G Ventus 3X Black OC graphics card. However, this doesn't mean you'll get RTX 4090-like performance. It features the same CUDA Core count of 8448 and 16GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus. With the full AD102 chip featuring 18,432 CUDA Cores, this new chip only has 45.8% of the SMs enabled.

Intel's new Core Ultra 7 268V "Lunar Lake" CPU has been spotted, running some Geekbench runs that give us a sneak peak at what Intel has in store for us later this year.

The new Intel Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" CPUs will launch as early as September. The first wave will focus on low-power mobile devices and laptops, which will be certified Copilot+ AI PCs to compete with the just-unveiled current fleet, powered by Qualcomm's new Arm-based Snapdragon X series processors.

The new Geekbench runs tease the new Intel Core Ultra 7 268V processor in single-core and multi-core tests. The highest observed frequencies on the Core Ultra 7 268V ES (engineering sample) processor were hitting 4881MHz. The LP-Cores should be boosting at up to 3.7GHz on this CPU, but Geekbench doesn't record LP-Core frequency.

The CPU market is dominated by Intel and AMD, but NVIDIA has its Arm-based Grace CPU that is flexing its CPU muscle in a new Geekbench benchmark, showing some impressive results for the 72-core Arm-based processor.

NVIDIA designed its Grace CPU for high-performance computing (HPC) requirements in the server and data center ecosystems, with the GH200 Superchip offering the fastest AI performance right now, that is, until NVIDIA's new Blackwell-based GB200 Superchip arrives later this year (rocking dual B200 AI GPUs and a Grace CPU).

Inside, the NVIDIA Grace CPU is based on the Arm architecture, with 72 Arm Neoverse N2 cores, with LPDDR5X memory on the motherboard and two distinct, different platforms. The Grace Superchip with not one, but two Grace GPUs for a total of 144 cores, and the Grace Hopper Superchip with the 72-core Grace CPU and Hopper H200 AI GPU. Each chip features 117MB of L3 cache, 68 PCIe Gen5 lanes, and is built on the TSMC 4N process node.

Logitech has announced its latest low-profile keyboard, the Logitech G G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL Wireless Gaming Keyboard. For those familiar with the company's popular and still highly sought-after low-profile G915 gaming keyboard, this TKL entry will undoubtedly reignite those 'I want this now' feels.

The G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL Wireless Gaming Keyboard sports a similar low-profile design with a clean and minimal look that also takes advantage of the company's latest peripheral tech - LIGHTSPEED wireless and LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting. The G515's low-profile switches (available in Tactile and Linear styles) feature an actuation point of only 1.3mm and a total travel distance of 3.2mm.

Despite its low profile, the G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL Wireless Gaming Keyboard is also built to the standard expected from a modern, high-end keyboard. You have a sound-dampening foam layer, pre-lubed switches, stabilizers, and PBT keycaps.

Microsoft has quietly updated the Windows 11 installation and initial setup process by automatically turning on OneDrive folder backup for those connected to the internet and signing in with a Microsoft account. This means folders like Pictures, Videos, Documents, Desktop, and more will automatically sync with the cloud on a fresh Windows 11 install without users being asked to opt-in.

For those with multiple PCs wanting a clean install, this could lead to a cluttered desktop with shortcuts to apps that aren't installed, which isn't ideal. OneDrive cloud sync can be a powerful tool when used currently, alleviating the need to backup files before formatting or installing Windows on a new PC - and it can be super handy if you run a desktop and laptop computer, ensuring key files are on both devices.

OneDrive comes with 5 GB of free personal storage, with Microsoft 365 subscribers getting up to 1 TB. The free 5 GB can be filled up quickly if you download or store large files in your main Documents folder, prompting you to free up space or pony up for a subscription to unlock more space.

From June 27 until July 11, you can save big on a Steam Deck with Valve offering a 15% discount on the Steam Deck (LCD Edition) 64GB and 512GB variants as part of the latest Steam Summer Sale.

Valve's Steam Deck launched in 2022, and although it wasn't the first PC gaming handheld, it helped make it mainstream thanks to impressive hardware and an affordable price point. It doesn't hurt that it runs a custom Linux-based OS created by Valve (SteamOS) that plugs you straight into Steam - the world's most popular PC gaming platform.

The discount brings the entry-level Steam Deck 64GB model to its lowest price, $296.65 USD (down from $349), with the 512GB model on sale for $381.65 USD (down from $449). Unfortunately, the premium Steam Deck OLED model with a larger battery capacity and higher refresh-rate OLED display is unavailable.

AMD is reportedly working on a re-spec of its upcoming Zen 5-based Ryzen 9 9700X processor, with a higher TDP, to better compete with the super-popular Zen 4-based Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor.

Earlier this month, AMD unveiled four of its new Ryzen 9000 series "Granite Ridge" desktop CPUs, and one of those was the Ryzen 9 9700X with 8 cores and 16 threads of Zen 5 processing power with a base CPU clock of 3.8GHz, and boost CPU clock of up to 5.5GHz, 40MB of cache and a 65W TDP.

Our friends over at Wccftech are reporting that the re-spec of the Ryzen 9 9700X might see a much higher 120W TDP (from 65W during the 9700X announcement at Computex 2024). They note that AMD has 700MHz reduced clock speeds on the base CPU clock (3.8GHz) so the company "might be evaluating the CPU with a higher TDP to increase base, boost, or both clock speeds".

Intel has just reached a revolutionary milestone in integrated photonics technology for high-speed data transmission, which will be a game-changer for AI.

At the Optical Fiber Communications Conference (OFC) 2024, Intel's Integrated Photonics Solutions (IPS) Group demonstrated the industry's most advanced and first-ever fully integrated optical compute interconnect (OCI) chiplet co-packaged with an Intel CPU and running live data.

Intel's OCI chiplet is a huge jump forward in high-bandwidth interconnect by enabling co-packaged optical input/output (I/O) in emerging AI infrastructure for data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The new OCI chiplet from Intel has much higher bandwidth speeds through its co-packaged I/O, with support for up to 64 channels at 32Gbps data transmission speeds. Intel's new OCI chiplet features include:

Google is constantly developing its Chrome browser, of course, and an inbound tweak could be good news for eking out a bit more battery life on Windows 11 portables.

Windows Latest spotted a new 'audio offload' feature that's being worked on for Chrome, at least based on a recent commit which describes an "experiment for audio offloading on Windows."

So, this is by definition just in its experimental phase right now, but the idea is to take some of the strain off the CPU by redirecting the task of playing the audio in a web page to the PC's audio chip. And that lessened processor usage should help to save a bit of battery for extra longevity on the move with Windows 11 laptops.

The new Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition features a physical design inspired by racecars. As racing cars are all about speed, these kits are tuned for high performance and overclocking. Available in 48GB kits (2 x 24GB), Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition is Intel XMP 3.0 Certified with a speed of 8000 MT/s and low latency CL36 timing.

The red and black design of the heatspreader mimics that of a fast car on a race track, or as Kingston puts it - an "aerodynamic look and feel of a racecar ready to hit the curves of the most challenging circuit." On top of this, the RGB strip is similar to what you'd find on other RGB Fury kits. On a personal note, the RGB strip (at least with the colors we see in the images) kind of clashes with the red and black. It does feature a racecar curve, though, which is cool.

Kingston notes that the premium parts of this limited edition DDR5 memory have been factory-tested to ensure that they can sustain the 8000 MT/s speed. Also, Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition memory is qualified by leading motherboard makers: MSI, ASUS, ASRock, and GIGABYTE.
