Daily Tech News 5 May 2025

Top Story

Intel may have sold off a majority of its Altera acquisition to balance the books, but it hasn't given up in other areas: The B770 GPU could be here as soon as Computex, which is in just (searches frantically) over two weeks. (WCCFTech)

This will likely be a mid-range 16GB card. The existing B580 offers 12GB of RAM at $250, which is already a better bet in the current market than 8GB cards, except for the minor problem that there aren't any.
And Intel's third-generation "Celestial" GPUs could be here by CES. (Hot Hardware)

That seems a bit ambitious, to be honest. Expect this to take more like a year to reach retail even if things go well, and eighteen months if they need more than a simple tweak moving from test samples to production.

Tech News

Apples are selling twice as fast as any other type of orange: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is selling twice as fast as any other JRPG on Steam. (WCCFTech)

Expedition 33 is indeed a success, but it's a weird comparison since the J in JRPG means Japanese, and Expedition 33 is a French game created by French developers in France.
Stalin didn't go far enough in his purges. (Pluralistic)

Jobs are bad! Unions are good! Dark humour is like food, not everyone gets it!

I'm so old I remember when Cory Doctorow could write a coherent sentence.
People are losing their loved ones to AI-fueled spiritual fantasies and mental illness but mostly mental illness. (Rolling Stone) (archive site)

I thought mental illness was seen as a positive thing on the left, given how much time and effort they devote to wallowing in it.
Speaking of which. (The Verge) (archive site)

You have to understand, he is not just playing as a bunny in a fantasy world, he is playing as a negro bunny. His words.
Yasuke - the pseudohistorical star of Ubisoft's latest commercial catastrophe Assassin's Creed 14: The Assassining, was never a samurai and all the claims to the contrary were cooked up very recently by a single lunatic. (AP News)

The article doesn't mention that. The article in fact is completely useless.
