Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is squaring up for a fight with rival AMD — and based on a recent interview, it seems the executive already knows how the match will go. In an interview with CRN, Gelsinger proclaimed that AMD’s market dominance — both in the consumer and commercial spaces — is over with the launch of Alder Lake. “AMD has done a solid job over the last couple of years. We won’t dismiss them of the good work that they’ve done, but that’s over with Alder Lake and Sapphire Rapids,” Gelsinger said. IntelThe highest executive at Intel hyping his…
Battlefield 2042 – two for the price of one (pic: EA)EA has made a substantial change to how Battlefield 2042 purchases work, with ‘dual entitlement’ that makes all purchases cross-gen. For the majority of current video games upgrading from a last gen Xbox One or PlayStation 4 version to the Xbox Series X/S or PlayStation 5 is free, with the only three companies that regularly try to charge for it being EA, 2K, and Sony.

The higher-end Pro models also boast a…

Google doesn’t offer a 500GB plan directly through its Google One service, instead going from a 200GB plan straight to 2TB plans and beyond. The pricing of the T-Mobile plan is a fair value at least, considering Google’s…
