I caught up with ROCKFISH Games CEO and Co-Founder Michael Schade and Communications Manager Lee Guille to learn more about EVERSPACE 2: Titans and to discuss various aspects of the industry, from their […]
Flow Computing, a Finland-based startup, has unveiled a "revolutionary" computing methodology that allows a CPU performance increment of up to 100x. Flow Computing Introduces A New CPU Engine, PPU Enables Vastly Optimized Performance & Efficiency Well, it seems like the industry is now looking towards alternate methods of performance increase rather than node shrinking, and the Finnish firm looks to do just that with a unique approach. Interestingly, research revealed by Flow Computing says that through a dedicated PPU "Parallel Processing Unit" inside the chip, similar to what we saw recently with the newly-emerged NPUs or Neural Processing Units. Through […]

China recently saw the launch of the KX-7000 CPU family from Zhaoxin which is aimed at desktop PCs for the domestic market segment. These chips have now seen their first benchmarks appear in the Geekbench database. Zhaoxin KX-7000 8-Core CPU For China Offers Double The Performance Of Its Predecessor But Lacks Against Last-Gen Desktop Offerings From Intel & AMD Announced at the end of 2023, the Zhaoxin KX-7000 CPU family is based on the x86 Century Avenue core architecture & the company claimed that it will offer twice the performance uplift versus the KX-6000 series. The lineup is available in […]
The famous open-source platform MESA on Linux has pushed out CPU-based ray tracing for its Vulkan driver, opening new performance possibilities on the OS. MESA's Latest Attempt To Improve Performance at Linux Now Features CPU-Based Ray Tracing Support Well, CPU-based ray tracing isn't a term we hear every day, mainly because it is generally limited compared to those we see with GPUs. However, some CPUs, mostly the higher-end ones, work out perfectly fine for low-intensive RT tasks. Phoronix reports that the MESA Lavapipe driver has received support for CPU-based ray tracing, which means that Linux users will now have another […]
China's CPU manufacturer, Loongson, has confirmed the successful tape-out of the company's 3C6000 CPU which features 16 cores & 32 threads. Loongson Looks To Dominate China's Server Market With Its 16-Core 3C6000 CPU Regarding the development of in-house solutions, China is rapidly advancing since the nation has been making decisive efforts in the computing segment. In the midst of it comes Loongson, a popular firm striving to make China a self-sufficient CPU-developing nation. Loongson has reportedly taped out its "server-focused" 3C6000 CPU which means that it is indeed ready for industry deployment soon. MyDrivers report that the Loongsoon 3C6000 features […]
NVIDIA's GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip has been tested with its 72 Core ARM CPU performing close to AMD EPYC & Intel Xeon counterparts. NVIDIA's Grace CPU With 72 ARM Neoverse V2 Cores Competes Well Against Intel Xeon & AMD EPYC Counterparts In First Tests of GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip The NVIDIA Grace CPU is the alternative to the traditional x86 CPUs in the server segment. It utilizes the Arm architecture and features up to 144 Neoverse V2 cores. The Grace CPU comes in two packages, one as the Grace Hopper Superchip with the H200 GPU and a single Grace chip […]
Samsung has been reported on multiple occasions to introduce a design change with the Galaxy S25 Ultra launch, with the flagship said to feature rounded corners instead of sharp ones, resembling the company’s Galaxy Note 7. However, it is one thing to check out an artist’s impression of the smartphone and another to view an actual render, and we are happy to mention that an official image has come out, but there is a catch. The notable leakster responsible for showcasing the Galaxy S25 Ultra to his fans has blurred it out unless his financial target is met. Donation goal from […]
