The latest update to the Microsoft Game Development Kit (GDK), an official API that targets game development on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs, seemed to be set in stone when it was announced in June. Two months later, however, that update has gone live with a surprise bonus that's so new it hasn't yet been detailed on the company's Github repository. The news instead comes from an official unlisted Microsoft video , first spotted by XboxERA reporter Jesse Norris , which included a tantalizing proclamation. The June GDK is currently live two months after its named month, and it now includes an increased memory allocation exclusively for the lower-priced $299 Xbox Series S console. This video does not link to specific patch notes or announcements, and as of press time, searches through the publicly shared GDK do not clarify how this memory allocation boost was achieved. Microsoft representatives did not immediately answer Ars' questions on this update's technical breakdown. … [Read more...] about Xbox’s latest dev tools add surprise boost for memory-strapped $299 Series S

Microsoft is giving Xbox Series S game developers more control over memory on the console. A new Xbox software development kit has been released to developers recently, and it frees up more memory for developers to access for Xbox Series S games and boosts performance in certain titles. “Hundreds of additional megabytes of memory are now available to Xbox Series S developers,” says Microsoft’s Game Dev team in a video detailing the updates. “This gives developers more control over memory, which can improve graphics performance in memory-constrained conditions.” The $299 Xbox Series S launched as a console capable of 1440p gaming at up to 120fps, but many games have only hit 1080p and without the higher frame rates of the more powerful Xbox Series X. Microsoft’s larger and more powerful Xbox Series X console ships with far more GPU power, but it also has 16GB of RAM while the smaller Xbox Series S only has 10GB. Developers have to work with around 8GB of memory on the Series … [Read more...] about Microsoft gives Xbox Series S devs more memory to improve graphics performance

Immer mehr Spiele und Exklusivtitel für die Xbox Series X werden vorgestellt, je näher wir der Markteinführung der Konsole im späteren Verlauf des Jahres kommen, und wir haben eine klarere Vorstellung als je zuvor von der Qualität und Quantität der Titel, die wir in den ersten Monaten des Verkaufs der Xbox Series X erwarten können. Wir wissen auch, dass die neue Xbox, wenn sie Ende 2020 auf den Markt kommt, die leistungsstärkste Spielkonsole der Welt sein sollte, mit einer fortschrittlicheren Grafik als wir sie bisher gesehen haben. Sie dürfte im Vergleich zur PS5 , die etwa zur gleichen Zeit landen soll, eine gute Figur machen. Wir wissen jedoch noch nicht alles. Sowohl Fans als auch Experten warten darauf, dass Microsofts Online-Streams zusätzliche Informationen und den Heiligen Gral der Spielverderber liefern: echtes Gameplay.

Hot on the heels of Google and iFixit launching a parts store about a month ago, Samsung and iFixit's self-repair program is now live , too. iFixit hosts an official Samsung parts store that Samsung says sells parts "at the same pricing offered to our affiliated repair providers."  The repair site now has a series of official repair guides written in the usual excellent style, and Samsung will start selling parts and iFixit tools in its retail locations. The official repair program is a good start, but it's nowhere near comprehensive. Currently, the parts store ships to the US, and only the S21, S20, and Tab S7 series of devices are covered. With three sizes of each phone, that's support for seven models total. Samsung releases around 40 devices per year, so there's a long list of devices left unsupported. That list also doesn't include the latest flagship models, like the currently-in-production S22 phone and the S8 tablet. The store's official guides and parts only … [Read more...] about Samsung and iFixit launch repair program for flagship phones and tablets

Earnings reports for tech companies this quarter have been mixed at best. Apple , Microsoft , Alphabet , and others have managed to eke out a little growth, while the likes of Meta and Nintendo shrank a little, and most companies' projections for the next quarter are also less-than-optimistic. One company that has been hit particularly hard is Intel , which saw its revenues decline from $19.6 billion in Q2 of 2021 to $15.3 billion in 2022. The company's earnings presentation ( PDF ) showed weakness across the board for a variety of reasons: weaker demand for consumer PCs, money invested in getting the Arc dedicated graphics products off the ground, and "competitive pressure" in the server CPU market. That competitor is AMD, whose EPYC line of server processors was just one bright spot in a record quarter for the company . Revenue increased from $3.9 billion in Q2 of 2021 to $6.6 billion this year, with $673 million of that additional revenue coming from EPYC … [Read more...] about Intel’s loss is AMD’s gain as EPYC server CPUs benefit from Intel’s delays
