Rumors suggest the next Grand Theft Auto installment will demand anywhere from 150 to over 200 gigabytes of drive space upon release. Preparing your console for an installation of this magnitude requires more than simply deleting a few older titles from your library. Gamers running the standard Series S are already working with a highly constrained drive, making a hardware upgrade a necessity rather

NVIDIA has released detailed performance claims for its Vera CPU, positioning the chip as a purpose built processor for agentic AI, data processing, graph workloads, and other tasks that depend heavily on memory bandwidth and low latency. The Vera CPU uses 88 Olympus cores and a monolithic design rather than the multi chiplet structure common in modern x86 server processors. NVIDIA says this helps

NVIDIA has shared the first performance figures for its Vera Rubin NVL72 platform, claiming a tenfold increase in token throughput compared with the current GB200 Grace Blackwell system at the same power level. In an early DeepSeek R1 test, the Vera Rubin rack reportedly sustained 800,000 tokens per second while operating within a 150MW deployment. A GB200 NVL72 configuration delivered 80,000 tokens per second

AMD’s upcoming Helios rack scale AI platform could carry a price between $5 million and $5.5 million per rack, according to an industry estimate. That would place it roughly 40 percent above the expected $3.5 million to $4 million price range for NVIDIA’s second generation Rubin systems. The estimate suggests AMD may no longer be positioning itself mainly as the lower cost alternative in

NVIDIA has provided a deeper look at DLSS 5, explaining how the technology will use neural rendering to improve game visuals while preserving the original work created by developers and artists. The company has faced criticism since introducing DLSS 5 earlier in 2026. Some observers were concerned that the technology would replace existing game assets with AI generated content or change a game’s visual

SK hynix expects memory supply conditions to become even more difficult in 2027, as strong demand for high bandwidth memory limits the capacity available for conventional DRAM. The company’s chief executive, Kwak Noh-jung, said next year could be the worst period in the industry’s history from a supply perspective. He also expects customer demand to remain above the company’s production capacity beyond 2030. The

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 8 introduces faster Snapdragon X2 processors and a new Dune colour option, but its most distinctive feature is built into the touchpad. The laptop is currently the only portable PC that supports Windows 11’s Advanced Haptic Signals feature. The system uses subtle vibrations to confirm actions as you interact with windows, files, and compatible applications. Haptic touchpads are not new, but
