TT Show Episode 58 - Apple Intelligence, AMD confirms RDNA 4 details, and Russia fines Google

This week on the TT Show, Jak goes through Apple's long-awaited AI upgrade with the arrival of Apple Intelligence. From writing tools to an overhauled Siri to being able to edit and search through your photos with powerful new tools, Jak goes through all of the features iPhone users can look forward to as long as they have at least an iPhone 15 Pro.

Also, this week, AMD CEO Lisa Su drops a few tasty details about its next-gen Radeon graphics cards powered by its next-gen RDNA 4 architecture. In addition to the usual generation performance increase, RDNA 4 ray-tracing performance will be 'significantly' better than previous generations, and Radeon is going all in on AI.

Yes, FSR is set to become more like NVIDIA's DLSS, with AI Super Resolution, Frame Generation, and its version of DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction - a game changer for ray-tracing. So then, why is AMD talking up RDNA 4? Because the company's Gaming business is not doing great.

With AMD's Gaming revenue down 69%, the company hopes the arrival of new hardware like the PlayStation 5 Pro and Radeon RX 8000 Series desktop GPUs will turn things around.

Also discussed on this week's show: Sony officially pulling the plug on Concord and closing Firewalk Studios; game preservation suffering a significant blow from the US Copyright Office; a modder creating a portable PlayStation 4; and Russia fines Google $2.5 billion or $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is more money than there is money.
