Intel’s GPU effort is impressive but early
Acer is getting ready to launch its Intel Arc A770 Predator BiFrost GPU. It’s a 2.5-slot design that has a custom PCB and some interesting RGB lighting throughout the fans. We don’t have an exact release date or pricing yet, but Intel’s own A770 starts at $329 and is expected to trade blows with Nvidia’s RTX 3060.
Regulators in the EU are looking at Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition, and have set a November 8th provisional deadline. It comes nearly a month after the UK’s CMA regulator signaled an in-depth review. Microsoft says “the deal is progressing in line with the expected regulatory schedule and process, and we remain confident that the acquisition will close in fiscal year 2023.”
