Yesterday, eager eyes noticed that Rockstar Games had made a job listing for Lead Software Engineer, claiming within that Grand Theft Auto 6 would be “the largest game launch in history”— but just a day later, the text within that job listing has changed, omitting the entire paragraph and combining the surrounding two in its stead. This struck

UEFI secure boot was designed to block malicious code from sneaking into your PC’s BIOS boot-up process. However, a newly discovered ransomware dubbed HybridPetya somehow found a way to circumvent this. Cybersecurity firm ESET discovered the threat and revealed that it had not been observed in any active attacks just yet.

Here’s how it

As of this week, the best-selling workstation GPU on popular PC products retailer Newegg isn’t from one of the usual suspects AMD or NVIDIA. Instead, Intel has secured the crown by nailing a key, neglected budget segment in the workstation GPU market with its Intel Arc Pro B50. This remarkable achievement, first spotted by @Haze2K1 on Twitter,

Japanese Twitter user Komenezumi (@komenezumi1006) purchased something quite curious: a GUNNIR “Intel Arc Sample1 TF 16G Graphics Card.” What is it? Well, Windows and the Intel Arc drivers think it’s a 16GB version of the Intel Arc A750. Officially, such a product doesn’t exist, but it doesn’t particularly surprise us that there are test boards

China’s market regulators announced today a preliminary finding that U.S.-based chip giant NVIDIA has violated the country’s anti-monopoly law. The declaration from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) adds more sparks to the already tense trade and tech rivalry between the world’s two largest economies.

A team of Pennsylvania State University researchers has a unique take on mysterious red dots first observed by the James Webb Space Telescope. Initially thought to be tiny, crimson galaxies, the red dots are now proposed to be a new and exotic class of celestial object: a hybrid of a black hole and a star, which researchers have dubbed “black

With Borderlands 4 out in the wild, we’re already seeing some complaints about its performance. This has become a somewhat common trend with large releases during the last several years, independent of what platform it is on. Borderlands 4 is available across various performance-tiers of hardware, including the PC, Xbox, PS5, and Nintendo

Qualcomm revealed the name of its next flagship system-on-chip (SoC) for future Android devices, and it’s called Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. At first glance, it may seem like Qualcomm skipped a few generations after releasing the Snapdragon 8 Elite last year. Qualcomm acknowledges this in a blog post explaining its new naming scheme, which it

What do Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT priced at MSRP all have in common? Nobody has ever supplied definitive proof that any of them actually exist. That may change, however, with the Radeon RX 9070 XT inching closer to its $599 recommended pricing in the wild, with a PowerColor model selling for $50 over MSRP.

That’s

Over the weekend, it came to attention that Founders Edition models of the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 had disappeared from NVIDIA’s website in several regions, including the United States and United Kingdom. This led to speculation that NVIDIA may have discontinued the FE models to make room for an anticipated Super refresh, but

Once upon a time, hitting triple-digit frame rates in a game was considered a big deal, and that’s still sometimes the case but no longer a rarity. So what is a big deal these days? Blowing past the capabilities of any monitor on the market and crossing over the 1,000 frame per second (FPS) threshold, which is what AMD is pitching on a slide

In the last couple of days, some rather interesting Geekbench results for Apple’s new A19 Pro chip were posted to Geekbench’s results browser, and made their way to social media. These synthetic Geekbench results, one for the CPU and one for the GPU, paint Apple’s new iPhone 17 lineup in an ideal light, showcasing best-case performance, with

This week at the AI Technology Conference, NVIDIA unveiled Rubin CPX, a GPU designed specifically for massive compute to chew through dense AI context processing in the company’s Vera Rubin NVL144 CPX systems. One of the curious features of Rubin CPX is that it supports four video processing engines per die. NVIDIA emphasized that these can

Oxford University Computer Science Alumni and Artificial Intelligence researcher, Eito Miyamura, revealed that his team was able to trick ChatGPT into divulging sensitive email data, using some relatively simple methods. They were able to do this by exploiting a vulnerability in Model Context Protocol (MCP), which was recently added to ChatGPT.

Yesterday, NVIDIA began mysteriously delisting the Founders Edition GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090 from its website, but only in select regions, and not always both cards. In the United States and United Kingdom, both cards are no longer available for order directly from NVIDIA. In Germany and France, the delisting is limited only to

Up until now, the hyper-focused mantra by hardware makers has been to ‘RGB all the things!’, and they’ve been doing exactly that. They’re still doing it, of course, but they’re also pivoting to putting built-in displays on all the things, like case side panels (looking at you, ASRock), motorized standing desks (hello, Lian Li), mini PCs (hi

Speeds for DDR5 memory have been increasing to dizzying heights, especially after the introduction of CU-DIMMs. Desktop motherboard makers are always trying to outdo each other, and one particular battle of inches is about memory speeds. Gigabyte recently posted some very bold claims, saying its Aorus X870E boards can deliver a gaming performance
