IBM has announced its new z10 mainframe together with the all new z10 processor. IBM has designed it from scratch to increase data center efficiency, and reduce power, cooling and space requirements. While sporting performance which is on par with what a cluster of 1,500 x86 processors, it requires 85% less power and 85% less space to operate. If you want more, z10 can scale up to hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of users, IBM says.
The z10 supports a wide range of workloads including Linux, XML, Java, WebSphere and soon also Sun Solaris. The heart(s) is 64 purpose-built quad-core processors, and all in all IBM spent five years developing this new monster. It has cost more than $1.5 billion in R&D.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
NICE
A system that can play Crysis at max settings! So, how many mortgages do I have to take out to get one of these bad boys!
Better than "teh cell"
Behold! The future of CPUs! and this is only "20-core CPU"... I say Only because "Intel pledges 80 cores in five years"... http://www.news.com/2100-10... uhh.. they said that almost 2 years ago...
I know this angry people like DJ that keep saying that the Cell is the future and not multi-core CPUs... I always get flamed for that... want proof? here is some proof... I hope the xbox 720 bring on of these 20 core CPUs... and at least 2-4GB or Memory...
I know, I was just saying it as a joke since everyone brings it up all the time. I also play it just fine on a spare system equipped with a E6600 and 640mb GTS (Both OC'd) used as a file server.
