Dedicated Graphics Support Drops Integrated GPUs from 6th Generation Skylake CPUs to Legacy Model

A recent post on the Intel Support Forums has made some significant changes to their dedicated graphics support model. It appears that integrated graphics from 6th generation Skylake CPUs all the way up to Ice Lake will be moved into their legacy support model. This move effectively ends dedicated graphics support for these processors, leaving users to rely on integrated graphics.

The post states that this change is being made due to various reasons, but it's clear that it's a significant shift in Intel's approach to integrated and dedicated graphics. Integrated graphics are often referred to as "Woody" while dedicated graphics are seen as "Andy." In the spirit of Toy Story 2, where Andy gets Buzz Lightyear and no longer wants to play with Woody, Intel seems to be moving away from dedicated graphics support.

Starting Lineup for New AM5 Socketed Ryzen 7000 Processors Revealed

According to Video Cards, the Ryzen 9 7950X and 7900X, Ryzen 7 7000X, and Ryzen 5 7600X were all tagged in the marketing resource file for Ryzen Pro CPU. However, the Ryzen 7 70 800X was mysteriously absent from the list. This is a notable omission, as it suggests that Intel may be focusing on higher-end processors with AM5.

The naming convention of the Ryzen 7000 series seems to follow a Ninja Turtle theme, starting with "Ryzen 9" (Leonardo), followed by "Ryzen 7" (Donatello), and then "Ryzen 5" (Michelangelo). The absence of a Ryzen 3 processor in this lineup is also notable. Intel's AM4 socket may be seen as a legacy technology, similar to the AM3+ or earlier sockets.

AMD Teases New Processors with 170 Watt TDP

Recently shared benchmarks by Rafael CPUs have given us a glimpse into what we can expect from AMD's upcoming processors. The new Ryzen 9 series is expected to consume around 170 watts of power, which is double that of the previous generation. This increased power consumption may lead to concerns about power efficiency and the environmental impact of these powerful processors.

The focus on power consumption takes a back seat to other aspects, such as gaming performance and ray tracing capabilities. With the advent of more powerful GPUs, the demand for high-performance CPUs has increased significantly. It seems that AMD is prioritizing raw processing power over energy efficiency, which may have implications for future systems.

James Bits: Russia Leaves International Space Station Cooperation Agreement

Earlier this week, Russia announced they would be terminating their cooperation agreement with NASA and other international partners regarding the International Space Station (ISS). However, in a recent update, Russia has indicated that they wish to remain in the cooperative agreement until their own orbital outpost, Ross Cosmos, is completed.

Estimates suggest that completion of Ross Cosmos may happen sometime around 2028. The ISS program will likely continue with other partners, such as NASA and Japan's JAXA. This development highlights the complexities of space exploration and cooperation agreements between nations.

Mechanical Engineer Creates Glove Mimicking Octopus's Gripping Abilities

A mechanical engineer from Virginia Tech has created a glove that mimics an octopus's gripping abilities using a retractive adhesive and pneumatically controlled membrane. The result is called the "Octoglove," which can grip objects such as metals, acrylic, and even plates and spoons.

This innovation has potential applications in fields like search and rescue operations, underwater exploration, or even space exploration. While it may not be suitable for individuals with eight fingers, this technology is an exciting step forward in the field of soft robotics and gripping mechanisms.

Manchester City Football Club Launches Biometric Scarf

Manchester City Football Club has launched a pilot program for a biometric scarf that can gauge its fans' emotions. The scarf, developed in partnership with Emotibit and Cisco, measures heart rate, movement, sweat levels, and temperature to provide insights into fan sentiment.

This wearable technology could be seen as an extension of the "Feelings" feature on some sports stadiums, where spectators are asked to report their emotional state during a match. The biometric scarf offers a more personal and intimate way to measure emotions, making it a unique application in the world of sports technology.

In conclusion, these recent developments highlight the changing landscape of technology, innovation, and cooperation agreements. From dedicated graphics support to new processor designs, each of these updates reflects the ongoing push for progress and improvement in various fields.
