He said the studio is “definitely” pursuing another entry in the fighting game

AMD has previewed its Instinct MI430X accelerator, a new HPC focused GPU designed to deliver very high FP64 performance for scientific and technical workloads. The MI430X is part of AMD’s upcoming MI400 series. While the MI450X is aimed mainly at AI acceleration, the MI430X is built for classic high performance computing tasks where FP64 precision still matters. AI hardware often focuses on lower precision

Gothic 1 Remake is shaping up to be a faithful return to one of PC gaming’s cult RPGs, but it may still be a difficult sell for newcomers. The remake, developed by Alkimia Interactive, follows the same core story as the original Gothic. You play as the nameless hero, thrown into the Valley of Mines and forced to survive among dangerous creatures, harsh factions,

Nintendo is facing growing pressure from investors as questions continue over whether the Switch 2 should stay at its current $450 price. The company’s stock has reportedly fallen for five straight months, marking its longest losing streak since 2016. That decline comes despite strong signs of demand around Nintendo’s wider business, including healthy Switch 2 sales, Pokémon Pokopia selling 2.2 million units in its

The studio behind EVE Online is now independent again and has rebranded as Fenris Creations. The move follows a $120 million deal that separates the former CCP Games from Pearl Abyss. The two companies decided that independent ownership was the better path after reviewing their long term priorities and operating goals. Fenris Creations will now be led by its senior management and long term

Nintendo is rumored to be working on a full remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2, and the project may be much bigger than a simple remaster. The remake is reportedly being built from scratch. That means Nintendo may not be using the original game as a base with cleaner textures or higher resolution. Instead, the developers are said

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is expected to give Vincent and Cid a much bigger role in combat, based on new comments from director Naoki Hamaguchi. Hamaguchi said the team has designed every character with a clear identity rather than building the game around one standout party member. Still, when speaking about the final game, he hinted that Vincent and Cid have been

AMD is reportedly in advanced talks with Samsung to use its 2nm process technology for future AI focused chips. The move would give AMD another manufacturing option at a time when advanced wafer supply is under heavy pressure. AMD currently depends strongly on TSMC for its most advanced CPUs and GPUs, but demand for AI hardware has made leading edge chip capacity harder to

NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 10 series has now reached its 10 year mark, and it remains one of the most memorable GPU families the company has ever released. The Pascal lineup arrived in May 2016, before RTX branding, ray tracing cores, Tensor cores, DLSS, and neural rendering became part of the normal PC gaming conversation. At the time, the focus was much simpler: higher frame

Biostar has clarified that its upcoming AMD motherboard showcase at Computex 2026 will focus on refreshed 800 series boards, not a new generation of AMD motherboards. The clarification matters because Biostar’s earlier wording used “next gen” language, which raised questions about whether the company was preparing early boards for AMD’s future Ryzen Zen 6 processors. Biostar has now said that is not the case.

Arm now expects much stronger demand for its AGI CPU, with revenue forecast to pass $2 billion by fiscal year 2028. That is more than double the earlier estimate shared when the chip was introduced. The AGI CPU was launched in March for agentic AI workloads, where systems need fast CPU performance alongside accelerators. The chip is based on Arm’s architecture and marks a

OpenAI teams with AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, Microsoft, and Broadcom on faster AI training networks OpenAI has worked with AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, Microsoft, and Broadcom on a new networking protocol designed to make large AI training systems faster and more reliable. The protocol is called MRC, short for Multipath Reliable Connection. It is meant to solve one of the biggest problems in large AI clusters:

SpaceXAI is giving Anthropic access to its Colossus 1 supercomputer, adding a large pool of NVIDIA GPUs to help train and run Claude models. The system includes more than 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, including H100, H200, and GB200 Blackwell hardware. That makes it a major compute boost for Anthropic at a time when leading AI companies are racing to secure more processing capacity. Anthropic already

Rambus has introduced a new PCIe 7.0 Switch IP with Time Division Multiplexing, aimed at AI, cloud, and high performance computing systems that need faster and more efficient data movement. The new switch IP is designed for systems where CPUs, GPUs, accelerators, and NVMe storage must move huge amounts of data with low latency. That problem is becoming more important as AI servers grow

GALAX has clarified that it will continue making graphics cards under Palit, ending recent confusion that suggested the brand might be leaving the PC hardware business. The confusion began after reports said Palit had taken full control of GALAX, including its business operations and RMA support. Early messaging from some GALAX teams led to claims that the company would stop its PC business or

PC motherboard makers may face a difficult 2026 as rising component prices and weak consumer demand put pressure on the DIY hardware market. The main issue is simple. Building or upgrading a PC has become more expensive. Memory, graphics cards, storage, and even CPUs have seen price pressure as AI demand takes more supply away from consumer hardware. That has made many gamers and

PCI SIG has released the first official draft of the PCIe 8.0 specification, keeping the new standard on track for a full release in 2028. The next PCIe generation is built for much faster data movement across high performance systems. PCIe 8.0 targets a raw data rate of 256 GT/s and up to 1 TB/s of bidirectional bandwidth through a x16 connection. That is

NVIDIA and Corning are working together to expand US manufacturing for the optical connectivity hardware needed in large AI data centers. The companies announced a multiyear commercial and technology partnership focused on advanced optical connectivity. Corning plans to raise its US based optical connectivity manufacturing capacity by 10 times and increase US fiber production capacity by more than 50 percent. The expansion includes three

OpenAI has started rolling out GPT 5.5 Instant as the new default model for ChatGPT, replacing GPT 5.3 Instant. The update focuses on cleaner answers, better accuracy, and less visual clutter in responses. One of the most noticeable changes is OpenAI’s promise that GPT 5.5 Instant will use fewer unnecessary emojis. That may sound small, but it matters if you use ChatGPT for work,

Microsoft Edge’s built in password manager is facing scrutiny after a security researcher found that saved passwords can appear in a readable form in system memory. The issue was raised by Norwegian security researcher Tom Jøran Sønstebyseter Rønning, who showed that Edge can load saved passwords into RAM as plain text. According to the report, this can happen even when those passwords are not
