As Anandtech reports, the cooling system alone is suitably crazy. Intel has said that it’s working with both Asus and Gigabyte to create motherboards for the 28-core CPU, and according to Anandtech it was a Gigabyte motherboard the demo system was running on. Intel also confirmed that the 28-core processor is built on a 14nm node (rather than a 10nm one), which suggests it’s based on Intel’s Skylake-X processors, like the 28-core Xeon Platinum 8176, rather than the upcoming Cascade Lake platform

We’re only just starting to really think about the next generation of consoles, but according to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, it could be the last. Speaking to Variety, Guillemot said: “I think we will see another generation, but there is a good chance that step-by-step we will see less and less hardware. With time, I think streaming will become more accessible to many players and make it not necessary to have big hardware at home. That said, we’re still around three years away from the next gene

Google may have quietly dropped its Don’t Be Evil tagline but it is still firmly in the ‘we’re not planning to end the world’ camp when it comes to AI. The first batch of rules read like something out of The Scouts’ handbook and go under the banner: Objectives for AI Applications. Making the rulebookWhere it gets really interesting, though, is the bit titled: AI Applications We Will Not Pursue. “We will not design or deploy AI in technologies that cause or are likely to cause overall harm,” expl

Previously we’ve heard the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch (which may be the same product we’ve heard called the Gear S4) would come with Google’s own Wear OS software rather than Tizen, but it now looks like that won’t be the case. We’ve seen trademark applications for the name Samsung Galaxy Watch, so it may be that the company is still going to opt for that moniker but just include Tizen software. A strange nameAlthough the devices spotted on the wrists of Samsung employees may not be developed

Go with the flowFacebook will be showcasing its effo

To study how AI can become corrupted by biased data, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) decided to intentionally turn its AI into a psychopath named Norman—a reference to the villain in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. Facebook’s image-recognition AI uses Instagram captions to interpret objectsBut MIT’s extreme example could hint at how any AI could have its interpretive criteria corrupted, depending on where it pulls data from. AI for image or facial recognition are being relied upon mor

Agent 47, star of the popular Hitman series of games, is cold, calculating and precise. The same words could be used to describe the series’ developer, IO Interactive, who just announced a new game just days ahead of the biggest gaming show of the year. Instead of waiting for the show to start – and the inevitable deluge of announcements that comes with it – the Hitman developer beat the crowd by releasing the announcement trailer for Hitman 2 earlier today.

Qualcomm may not be satisfied with even the 30% gains on performance that the new Snapdragon 850 will bring to Windows 10 on ARM devices later this year, as a successor is already under way. German technology news outlet WinFuture reports that a Snapdragon 1000 is coming. Without mentioning the nature of its sources, WinFuture reports that this Snapdragon 1000 system-on-a-chip will feature a 12-watt (W) TDP, or thermal design power – more TDP means a higher threshold power driven to components w

The front (L) and back (R) of what’s said to be a Pixel 3 XL prototype (Photo Credit: XDA Developers)But the notch effect is good news if you want a bigger all-screen display from the Pixel 3 XL.

The alleged Google Pixel 3 XL prototype has just 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Google is expected to launch the Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, and mayb
