Marathon, Bungie's new project, supposedly targets a $40 launch price. Marathon is an upcoming PvP extraction shooter originally revealed in May 2023. Sources have reportedly spoken to The Game Post about the upcoming title and that they're considering a $40 launch price for Marathon. This suggests that Bungie is opting for the game to be a pay-to-play premium model rather than free-to-play with microtransactions, as seen in plenty of current games, including their well-known Destiny 2. Recently, Bungie and Sony have discussed Marathon's pricing strategy and how they will approach it. Conversations and an extended dialogue likely happened once Sony's […]

The new cold war, cloaked in silicon, is ratcheting up, with uncontested supremacy in the emerging AI-led, productivity-unlocking paradigm up for grabs. With the US and its allies determined to thwart Beijing's access to cutting-edge chips, China is finding progressively more creative ways to circumvent those restrictions, all the while trying to ramp-up its indigenous capacity. In the first half of 2024, China significantly increased its investment in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, spending a record $25 billion according to the global chip industry association SEMI. This amount surpasses the combined expenditures of South Korea, Taiwan, and the… — GammaLab (@gammalab_tweets) September […]
China's domestic chips have evolved rapidly, and a new analysis shows that the country is only three years behind TSMC in achieving semiconductor equivalence. China's Semiconductor Markets Have Evolved Massively After US Sanctions, Likely To Achieve Global Competitiveness Soon It won't be wrong to admit that after the US sanctions, the growth experienced by Chinese semiconductor firms was at a new level, especially since the "Made in China" narrative took a new turn, involving every giant firm to ensure that they achieve self-production lines. A great example of this is Huawei. Even after the US made every attempt to hinder […]
Chinese engineers have found a rather interesting loophole in US export controls, allowing them to access NVIDIA's cutting-edge AI accelerators. China Continues To Find Loopholes In US Policies; Despite Sanctions, The Country Still Has Access To Cutting-Edge AI Chips Despite restrictions by the Biden administration to prevent the access of China to high-end AI equipment, it seems like the nation always finds a workaround, and this time, they have indeed come up with a surprising method of accessing the power of Team Green's chips, and rather than acquiring them, Chinese engineers and firms are more inclined towards "rental services," which […]
In what is now being dubbed an "unmatched" toolkit among OECD economies, China is rapidly flexing its muscles to prevent the outflow of indigenous capital, tech, and talent, leading to an inevitable bifurcation of the global economy. There is a popular perception that hardly any innovation takes place within the Chinese economy, that any headway is a result of borrowed or stolen Western tech. While this assertion might have been true for much of China's recent rise as a major economic player, there are increasing signs that it no longer holds true. For one, China edged out the US in […]
After weeks of urgent negotiations, Intel has finally managed to receive additional grants under the US CHIPS Act, awarded up to a total of $3 billion in direct funding. Intel Receives New Grants By The Biden Administration To Ensure Chipmaker's Growth & Sustainability [Press Release]: The Biden-Harris Administration announced today that Intel Corporation has been awarded up to $3 billion in direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act for the Secure Enclave program. The program is designed to expand the trusted manufacturing of leading-edge semiconductors for the U.S. government. The Secure Enclave program builds on previous projects between Intel and […]
Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI), a retailer of high-performance servers and liquid-cooled AI racks, set the proverbial tongues wagging back in August when it delayed the disclosure of its requisite annual report just a day after a high-profile attack from the prolific short-seller Hindenburg Research. Now, after exhausting a statutory facility that allows for a 15-day extension, the company has to file its delayed annual report for its FY 2024 by today. For the benefit of those who might not be aware, Hindenburg Research leveled three primary allegations against Super Micro Computer: SMCI sales team allegedly stuffs its distribution channel […]
