Apple mixed-reality headset to have two 8K displays, cost $3,000 – The Information

https://9to5mac.com/2021/02/04/apple-mixed-reality-headset/

There have been talk about Apple doing some sort of a headset. I doubt it will work with non Apple PCs natively and the idea of having 8k display that tiny in a year or two sounds like BS. Especially at $3000 while being an apple product.

But if it is real... I am certainly interested.

2 x 8K? So 2 x 7640 x 4320 = 66 MegaPixel per frame or ~6 GigaPixel per second?

Ouch!

Even the 20 MegaPixel per frame or ~1.8 GigaPixel per second to get the best out of my current VR-headset is too much for my new PC... maybe with a RTX 4080/4090 in two years.

It's a mixed reality headset, it doesn't need high refresh rates.

Hellish Quart is a realistic sword dueling title developed by senior animator of Witcher 3
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/hellish-quart-is-a-realistic-sword-dueling-title-developed-by-senior-animator-of-witcher-3/
Hellish Quart is a physics-based, realistic sword dueling game, set in the 17th century. The lead developer of the game is an ex-senior animator for the Witcher 3.

How did I not know about this sooner?!

It's not that surprising given that, if I'm not mistaken, it's the first time I've posted an article about this game.

What happens when you sell all you can produce and reach almost a million CPUs sold in a single quarter? That competition sells more than you and gain marketshare

Intel Claws Back Desktop PC and Notebook Market Share From AMD, First Time in Three Years
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-claws-back-desktop-pc-market-share-from-amd-for-the-first-time-in-three-years
The Mercury Research CPU market share results are in for the fourth quarter of 2020, with the headline news being that, during the quarter, Intel has clawed back share from AMD in the desktop PC market for the first time in three years. Intel also stopped its slide in notebook PCs, gaining share for the first time in three years. AMD lost share in the overall x86 market during the quarter, but notched a solid gain for the year. Meanwhile, AMD continued to make slow but steady gains in the server market.

*stats*

Just as some additional information, the increase from Intel comes mostly from the low-end, as in Pentium and especially Atom chips, many of which aparently went into chromebooks.

The same increase however didn't happen on the mid-range or high-end market. As a result, after the curious blip last month (in December, intel processors in the 2.7-3ghz range had an almost 50% increase, which is gone again now), AMD is back to stealing market share from Intel, reaching 28% market share under Windows and 33.5% under Linux.

Speaking about steam and stock issues, Polaris, Vega and 1st gen Navi all have quite big increases, probably all due to the fact that they were actually available to buy...

Well noted! Who sells more in each segment shows us that the gaming/enthusiast is clearly shifting towards AMD.

Still, it's a shame AMD has so many supply issues because, by the looks of it, it could have sold as many processors as it wanted.
