That's just the start. Imagine if Intel finally drops their ego and gives 10nm production to someone who knows what they're doing!

And put them in charge of their fabs? That won't happen.

What? I said production, so obviously they're gonna use proper fabs, not the shitty Intel ones.

This doesn't look very promising -.-

It really needed to have all 16 threads to pull ahead in those multi-threaded scenarios.

PUBG dips below a million daily players for the first time in over a year
https://www.pcgamer.com/pubg-dips-below-a-million-daily-players-for-the-first-time-in-over-a-year/
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds continues to teem with people trying to feed their families with delicious chicken dinners, but yesterday it dipped below a million daily players for the first time in just over a year, according to numbers from SteamDB.
The dip didn’t come out of the blue. PUBG’s numbers have been slowly declining since its 3.2 million peak at the start of the year. Decline perhaps oversells it. Across the year it’s jumped around, though each peak is typically smaller than the last. Even when it went below a million players yesterday, 960,000 people is still a considerable number, along with over 90,000 people watching on Twitch.

A Kingdoms of Amalur remaster probably can't happen unless EA agrees
https://www.pcgamer.com/a-kingdoms-of-amalur-remaster-probably-cant-happen-unless-ea-agrees/
Last week, publisher THQ Nordic surprised us when it scooped up the nearly-forgotten intellectual property rights to Kingdoms of Amalur from now-defunct 38 Studios.(...)
But don't get too excited just yet. What THQ Nordic intends to do with their new acquisition remains to be seen, but at least one of those options—any kind of remaster or re-release—will likely require a green light from EA. As THQ Nordic told Eurogamer in an email, "EA still has the publishing rights to Reckoning."

Damn, they extended the NDA, those fuckers. I heard that the NDA is for the 2080. Does that mean no one got 2080Ti samples?
