Brief: Rumor has NVIDIA’ flagship DX11 part delayed until March
Posted on : 28-12-2009 | By : Admin | In : Video Games
When NVIDIA unveiled its next-generation, DX11 GPU this past October, it was clear that part, codenamed Fermi, was headed in the same direction as Intel’s “Larrabee”—i.e., a fully programable, many-core, through-put oriented processor with some graphics-specific hardware tacked on. If the latest rumor out of Taiwan is to be believed (in this case, it probably is) the similarities with the oft-delayed, effectively cancelled Larrabee product don’t end at “many-core and programmable”—Fermi is being pushed back another whole quarter.
Originally slated to launch this past November, then delayed until CES, Fermi is already late. But if NVIDIA really is pushing back the Fermi launch until March 2010 (the company hasn’t responded yet to our inquiries), that will give AMD/ATI’s “Evergreen” GPU family some three quarters of uncontested DX11 leadership.
Alien Breed Evolution brings back classic Amiga game
Posted on : 28-12-2009 | By : Admin | In : Video Games
Alien Breed is a game that some remember with great enthusiasm, while others respond with blank stares when the title is brought up. A hit on the Amiga, the top-down title was a little bit Gauntlet, a little bit Doom, and a little bit Aliens. The update is out now on the Xbox Live Arcade for 800 points ($10), and it’s coming to both the PC and the PlayStation Network in 2010.

Gyromancer could have been great with its merging Square Enix and Bejeweled Twist, but the mechanics used make it simply average.

For NVIDIA and Intel, Flash video is a double-edged sword
Posted on : 24-12-2009 | By : Admin | In : Video Games
One of my favorite Intel foibles to ridicule is the way that the company continues to stress Flash support as a rationale for x86 in handheld portables—x86, we’re told repeatedly, gives you “the full Internet experience,” by which Intel means, “you can run Flash on it.” This is supposed to make x86 a better option than ARM for portable CPUs, but the chipmaker doesn’t bother to mention that ARM Flash support is here as of Flash 10.1, making their favorite talking point inoperative.
