NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 launch shifts to June 15th, new card reportedly slower than GTX 1050 Ti

Quite pointless, if you ask me. At this point, Nvidia should just keep producing 1050Ti or, taking a page from AMD's nasty book, rebranding the 1050Ti to 1630 and call it a day.

The Korea Times: "Samsung Display to close LCD business"

https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/tech/2022/05/419_330008.html

“Samsung Display will no longer produce LCDs used for large TV screens and focus instead on manufacturing organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and quantum dot (QD) displays. The employees of the LCD businesses are expected to be transferred to the QD businesses.”

Good riddance. The age of OLED is upon us!

A bit misleading, to be honest. Samsung will still use LCD panels for its TVs, but instead of just doing them themselves, they'll bought them from their Chinese competitiors because they're cheaper. After all, they're already doing it.

But hey, the bigger the production of OLEd/QD-OLED, the more the costs will fall, which is good for all of us.

I do think that it was needed to be updated as while gaming performance may have not improved, support for newer technologies such as modern decoders, HDR and such is a welcome edition. I just wished they went with Ampere as that one has AV1 decode and HDMI 2.1 instead of Turing.

Well Samsung Electronics and Samsung Displays are two different subsidiaries. Samsung Display manufacturers panels who then sells to Samsung Display and other companies like Sony while Samsung Electronics sells TVs and etc who sources panels from Samsung Display and other panel manufacturing companies. Samsung Electronics will continue to use LCD panels from other companies while Samsung Display will go full on OLED.
