When it comes to peculiarly off-target premium PC displays, Samsung has form. With the new Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED G80SD, a 4K 240Hz OLED panel, the company stays true to that dubious tradition. This thing is baffling.
I've never looked at a rocket engine and thought «well that's dull», but this design makes all the others look positively pedestrian. That's because, rather than the traditional process of countless engineers spending months, even years manually engineering a model in programs like CAD, this one was designed in two weeks—thanks largely to AI.
Pour one out for EVGA graphics cards. Back in September 2022, the company announced it would make no more, bringing to a close a run of rather performant and well-cooled GPUs, many of which were capable of some serious overclocking.
All being said, Helldivers 2's latest patch appears to have been a solid hit with players, which is a relief.

The company has been developing 3nm chips for the iPhone and Mac for almost a year, and the competition seems to be just embarking on the technology, including Google and Samsung. Google will finally embrace TSMC for its Tensor G5 chips in 2025, which could mark the company's first silicon to be based on the supplier's 3nm process.
Today, Elden Ring gets its first and only expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. As part of an interview with Rolling Stone, game director and FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki took the opportunity to discuss some other games he'd like to make in the future.
Intel's Optane SSDs were one of a kind, using 3DXPoint instead of NAND for storage. They had many advantages over traditional SSDs, amongst which include unusually high endurance ratings and extremely low latency. Even today, Optane SSDs like the 905p provide faster loading times than the best PCI-e 4 and PCI-e 5 SSDs on the market.
