Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite will support Microsoft’s Auto Super Resolution upscaling technology right off the bat, allowing the chipset’s GPU to deliver better framerates in various games. However, those who thought that the feature would remain exclusive to those machines powered by the chipset were incorrect in their assumptions. Microsoft’s Auto Super Resolution will indeed be available for various notebooks featuring the Snapdragon X Elite, but it will not be exclusive to the silicon. For the time being, Auto Super Resolution works with the Snapdragon X Elite until Intel and AMD systems can bring compatibility in the future Speaking to […]
A new report claims Rocksteady co-founders Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker have signed a deal with Xbox to fund their new studio’s next big AAA action game.Read more...
Fans of the Batman: Arkham series have not exactly been in a great place following the release of Rocksteady Studios’ severely disappointing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but there may be a sliver of hope for those wishing the spirit of the Arkham games would live on. Last year, we learned that Rocksteady Studios co-founders Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker had left the company. Hill served as director for all three Arkham Trilogy games and Jamie Walker was Rocksteady’s studio director, so they weren’t just a pair of suits, but rather the main creative force at the developer. Well, […]

Well, last week Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was officially announced as this year’s CoD title, and now a new live-action teaser has essentially confirmed that 90s Gulf War setting. A new teaser trailer posted to the Call of Duty YouTube channel entitled “Open […]
Intel announced support for Microsoft's Phi-3 AI models across its entire range of CPU and GPU product portfolio. Microsoft's Phi-3 Model Will Take Personalized AI Computing To a Whole New Level, Runs Well Across All CPU & GPU Products From Blue Team Before we discuss the details, let's examine Microsoft's Phi-3 family of open models. The firm's new GenAI models focus on providing capabilities on a smaller and more efficient level, deviating from industry norms. With Phi-3, we could see the emergence of Small Language Models (SLMs), ideal for low-power devices with limited processing power. Fortunately, Intel has become one […]
The Xbox Next is going to be a very different gaming device compared to its predecessors, according to rumors circulating online. According to Windows Central's Jez Corden, Microsoft's next-generation console will likely be a reference device with a heavy Windows slant for manufacturers to make their own devices, like the Surface Pro 11 is a reference device for AI PCs. This would be a huge departure from the previous Xbox consoles, as it would essentially make it a PC that could potentially run Steam games as well, and thus even the former PlayStation exclusives available on Valve's digital store like […]
