What Apple, Qualcomm, and Google have revealed
Imagination Technologies marries its Tensor Tiling technology with Visidon’s AI algorithms to achieve fast, economical video scaling. (Source: Imagination Technologies) Superscaling, as it is referred to now, is not a new idea or technique. Scaling has been used in image processing and TV for decades. It sometimes is referred to tweening, creating pixels in between actual pixels—new, artificial pixels. … Read more
FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 2.0 technology is AMD’s brand-new, open-source temporal upscaling solution. It employs temporal algorithms to reconstruct fine geometric and texture detail, producing anti-aliased output from aliased input. FSR 2.0, says AMD, has been developed from the ground up and is the result of years of research. AMD claims it provides higher image quality compared to FSR 1.0, … Read more
Acer announced its stereovision S3D capability last year and launched the 15.6-inch ConceptD 7 SpatialLabs Edition laptop targeted at visual artists and engineers. The $4,100 laptop didn’t set the world on fire and fell into the novelty category. Acer, however, didn’t give up, and this year, repositioned the S3D laptop as a gaming platform. At the company’s global press conference, … Read more
HP is announcing a slew of new Z-class workstations, workstation peripherals, and accessories in the next couple of weeks.
Are you as tired as I am at hearing this inflated and factious statistic of “3 billion gamers” used as if it was a fact?
With COVID, speculators, and mining behind us, we have seen an expected drop in gouged pricing in the channel. The big three—AMD, Intel, and Nvidia (AIN)—may have to reverse that. High-end AIB retail prices over time. TSMC, the foundry that now builds all the AIN dGPUs, announced a 5-9% price increase for 2023. Assuming other components on an AIB … Read more
Intel has had to delay the launch of its Arc dGPUs due to “some software readiness delays, and together with COVID lockdowns impacting global supply chains, OEM designs are only this month becoming more widely available,” said Lisa Pearce, vice president of Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics/general manager for the Visual Compute Group. Nonetheless, Pearce points out, “Despite the constraints, … Read more
Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) announced that the first video source and display devices supporting DisplayPort UHBR (Ultra-high Bit Rate) have been certified.
Last week at Snap’s partner summit, the company showed its next-gen AR glasses with a special feature—real-time ray tracing. It was difficult to figure out where the Nvidia RTX graphics AIB was, and that was because Snap wasn’t using one, or anyone else’s GPU. The RTRT is done via Snap’s Lens Studio software, which came from a recent acquisition. Snap … Read more
