FiringSquad take a look at Intel's latest dual quad core processor which Intel have affectionately dubbed the "V8" platform as you're effectively getting 8 cores at your disposal.
They perform the usual benchmarks such as office performance and photo processing but also include tests which cater to the multi core features of the processor. They conclude that it's currently the fastest system they've ever tested but has problems associated with the specific type of motherboard and memory required to run it.
They also say that, although dual core games are now in the mainstream, ones which make use of quad and octo cores are not. As a result they had to download an Intel tech demo to test its gaming performance.
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."

I wish I had one of these proccessors. I've got a crappy Intel Pent 4 processor 3.06GHz. Btw, the centrino processors were much better than the celeron processors which were cheap and crapy.
