A VideoCardz leak has the Arc Pro B70, with 32 Xe2 graphics cores, 32GB of RAM and a 230W TDP, launching next week alongside a B65 with 20 Xe2 cores. It’s not clear if we’ll ever get the B770 gaming variant; Intel deleted a tweet about it in December.
It’s out today, and Sony says it “enables players to enjoy games at a higher bitrate compared to the default 1080p Standard mode, providing a smooth and high-fidelity experience.” There are also UI changes.
Sony’s also rolling out an improved PSSR upscaler for some games on PS5 Pro today, too.
Nvidia has uploaded the GTC 26 replay, and the embed above should be queued up to the Olaf part. (I met Olaf yesterday!) Right after that, you can help me witness what appears to be an entirely AI-generated music video that attempts to summarize the keynote. It is quite the thing.
The NVIDIA Space-1 Vera Rubin Module is the ticket. CEO Jensen Huang:
We’re working with our partners on a new computer called Vera Ruben Space 1, and it’s going to go out to space and start data centers out in space. Now, of course in space there’s no conduction, there’s no convection, there’s just radiation, and so we have to figure out how to cool these systems out in space. But we’ve got lots of great engineers working on it.
Also see: every other tech billionaire eying the sun’s limitless power and glossing over potential problems. Space!
Nvidia’s also got a whole blog post dedicated to the “real-time neural rendering model that infuses pixels with photoreal lighting and materials.” It’s coming this fall with support from Bethesda, Capcom, Hotta Studio, NetEase, NCSoft, S-Game, Tencent, Ubisoft and Warner Bros. Games to start.
The world’s first $5 trillion company (currently 4.47 trillion) is strutting its stuff in San Jose, California. We’re expecting an AI and robot show... but fingers crossed for N1 consumer laptop chips too! Jensen’s keynote starts 11am PT / 2pm ET.
