Meteor Lake muscles into the portable gaming PC market with the new OneXPlayer three-in-one X1

OneXPlayer is hardly a novice when it comes to portable PCs, as it has been producing handheld devices and tablets for over six years, originally under the name of One-Notebook. Now it's bringing Intel's Meteor Lake CPUs to its portfolio with the X1, the latest range-topper for the OneXPlayer OneXPlorer Series of handheld PCs. It's not the smallest thing you'll ever see but the feature set might help it stand out from the very busy crowd of PC gaming-on-the-go machines.

Nick Evanson - Hot GPU rumour time: Intel may follow AMD in just focusing on the mainstream market with its next-gen Battlemage chips - pcgamer.com

Hot GPU rumour time: Intel may follow AMD in just focusing on the mainstream market with its next-gen Battlemage chips

We're barely two weeks into 2024 but the latest rumours surrounding the next generation of GPUs are already in full swing. And the claim this time is that Intel's next graphics architecture, Battlemage, won't be competing against the likes of the RX 7900-series or RTX 4080, but may instead focus on mainstream sales. As that's where the bulk of GPU sales are anyway, it would hardly be totally surprising if true, but it'll be disappointing if we have to wait another two years before there's a real third contender for the GPU halo crown.

All hail RT-X: The global project aimed at creating an AI mega brain for all robotkind

Like it or not, we're very much in the world of generative AI now. Massively complex neural networks trained on vast quantities of data, all so we can use it to make pictures of donkeys riding space rockets or tell us which churro coating is the best. I jest, of course, because large language models (LLMs) can be very useful but there's one area they've yet to be used in and that's robotics. Not anymore, as Google, the University of California, and a host of other labs around the world have started the RT-X project, with the aim of using AI to make an all-purpose 'brain' for robots.

Analysts are calling 2023's decline in PC shipments 'unparalleled in the industry's recorded history' but suggest the only way now is up

There's nothing like a bit of heart-warming, cheery news to start a new year but the PC shipment estimates for 2023, from market analysts IDC and Gartner, are anything but cheery. The total number of units shipped varies between the two groups, with IDC estimating just under 260 million, whereas Gartner puts it at around 242 million. That's 14% down from last year and, while the market is settling down from the Covid era of tech sales, the figures pale in comparison to those seen ten years ago.

HP gets slapped with yet another lawsuit for blocking printers using anything other than its own inky liquid cash cow

You might think that Hewlett-Packard's most important profit generator might be AI servers or cheap laptops, but you'd be wrong. Over half of HP's annual profits last year were entirely down to its print division, with no small thanks to its Dynamic Security printer firmware upgrade that completely blocked all third-party ink cartridges. Cue yet another round of litigation, in the form of a lawsuit aiming for class action status, claiming HP has created a monopoly on printer ink.

VESA updates its DisplayPort specification to version 2.1a, beefing up cable requirements for even higher resolutions and refresh rates

The VESA organisation is a huge group of electronics and semiconductor manufacturers that work together to create various standards for the industry to follow. DisplayPort is perhaps its most well-known technology these days and VESA has just updated the specification to v2.1a with the main change replacing the DP40 cable spec with DP54, which allows up to 8K 240Hz resolutions in 2m passive cables. It's big improvement but it actually doesn't matter.

Valve continues to improve the gaming performance of Linux open source drivers for AMD GPUs, as part of the Mesa project

Mesa is a long-running project that started life as an open-source driver, bringing the OpenGL graphics API to a host of different platforms. Today, developers from AMD, Google, Intel, and others all take part. One of the most well-known Mesa drivers is RADV: A Vulkan-based driver specifically for AMD's GPUs running on a Linux operating system. A recent update to them, created by Valve's developers, has added a neat little performance boost for any device using them.

Nick Evanson - Ayaeneo's Next Lite is 'the cost-effective choice' but only because it cloned SteamOS off Github and jammed a 4 year-old APU into it - pcgamer.com

Ayaeneo's Next Lite is 'the cost-effective choice' but only because it cloned SteamOS off Github and jammed a 4 year-old APU into it

Just a few days ago, purveyor of handheld and pocket PCs, Ayaneo announced it's first SteamOS handheld, called the Next Lite. Two aspects of the launch made it stand out: Firstly, the price would be aimed firmly at the budget sector and secondly, it would be the first non-Steam Deck handheld to retail with Valve's open-source operating system installed instead of Windows. We contacted Ayaneo for further details and it's kindly spilled the beans.
