Intel announced its Arc-A series mobile graphics, but it teased a "limited edition" Arc desktop graphics card.

Reducing MSRPs across all SKUs is a welcome move by one of the biggest PC components makers. Where Asus leads others will follow.

Average GPU pricing now sits at 25% above MSRP.

NeRF is short for a technology called Neural Radiance Fields. Nvidia AI uses this tech to reconstruct a 3D scene from a handful of 2D images in tens of milliseconds.

Described as a 4K-class chip, this GPU is claimed to match the GeForce RTX 3060 by some metrics.

"Making multiple technologies easier for developers to integrate, Streamline benefits gamers with more technologies in more games," reckons Nvidia.

The new AI upscaling tech from Intel gets fleshed out by Intel's devs and third party game devs. Some quality and performance indicators have been shared.

The PCX1 and PCX2 GPUs this code is relevant to were 3D only. Thus these cards needed to be installed alongside another graphics card, which would take care of 2D duties.

Despite the boasts, Nvidia's shares have has a lack luster week. Perhaps investors predict and fear another crypto boom to bust cycle will cause a GPU glut in 2022.

The HWiNFO release notes mention upcoming Ada GeForce RTX 40-destined GPUs, and also reference Hopper GPUs, and perhaps even Nvidia Blackwell GPUs.

Could the next Asus x Noctua graphics card be an AMD Radeon? We also ponder the likelihood it might be a next-gen RTX 40 or RX 7000 series GPU.

If previous Yeston Sakura Hitomi GPUs were over budget, collectors and fans can now seek out this beautifully customized AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT to satisfy their cravings.

One of the Acer Swift X 16 models Proshop is advertising is a slightly cheaper Core i5 version, with half the storage (512GB). However, the Euro pricing of these laptops is quite high.

The rapid price decline for of this little RDNA2 GPU for desktops is something of a special case, but also a sign of things to come for the wider market.

The thieves were recorded on camera stealing $38,000 of RTX 3070 Ti, but were apprehended thanks to an honest pawn shop owner.

Intel's Lisa Pearce revealed the date in a community blog post. She also shared some quite clear performance indications, as well as some info on Project Endgame.

Acer's Swift X laptops move from AMD to Intel CPUs in 2022, but the most interesting change is the Intel Arc GPU in the 16 inch model. Will they be worth the $250 price hike?

Nvidia appears to have a new GA102F chip in the pipeline. Is it a re-spin for higher yields and lower power, something for datacenters, or perhaps a special crypto-focused (or anti-crypto) design?

Mykhailo Fedorov's previous requests seem to have spurred tech giants such as Intel, Microsoft, and Apple to act with greater haste.

AMD will give a presentation on its "next-generation image upscaling technology" at this year's Game Developers' Conference. Sounds like an upgraded version of FSR is in the works.
