Lisa DualSense Controller – PlayStation Limited Edition

PlayStation is expanding its collaboration with Lisa beyond last year's PS5 campaign, announcing a DualSense wireless controller – Lisa Limited Edition and a new merchandise collection designed in partnership with the artist. Lisa's career has taken her from Thailand to Korea and into global pop culture prominence, marked by her dynamic stage presence and bold fashion approach. On the collaboration, Lisa said: “Gaming is something I do whenever I have time to relax, so getting to create this collection with PlayStation was very exciting. I had a lot of fun adding in little details...

DFlash Speculative Decoding on AMD Instinct MI355X: Up to 5× Faster Qwen3.5 Inference

DFlash Speculative Decoding on AMD Instinct MI355X: Up to 5× Faster Qwen3.5 Inference

Autoregressive decode generates one token per model forward pass, so single-request latency is bounded by how fast you can stream weights through the GPU — not by compute. Speculative decoding attacks that bottleneck by letting a small draft model propose several tokens that the large target model then verifies in a single parallel pass. We bring DFlash — a block-diffusion drafter — to AMD Instinct MI355X through vLLM on ROCm, benchmark it against Qwen3.5's built-in MTP drafter, and quantize the target model to mxfp4 to demonstrate that speculation and quantization stack. The result: up to...

Onimusha: Way of the Sword GPU Benchmarks — RTX 50 Series at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K

Onimusha: Way of the Sword GPU Benchmarks — RTX 50 Series at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K

Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword launched on September 4, the first mainline entry in the series after a long silence, and it reached Steam's top new releases chart in its launch week. It also sets a hard floor on the PC side: Windows 11 as the minimum OS, an SSD install, and a 16GB memory baseline — machines still on Windows 10 will not run it at all. We benchmarked five GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards in-house — the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 — at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, with DLSS 4.5 off and on, across two settings profiles and 60 logged configurations.

Air vs. Liquid CPU Cooling: A Complete Guide

You picked the CPU. You selected the motherboard. Now you need to decide on a CPU cooler: air or all-in-one (AIO) liquid? One is a block of metal with a fan; the other involves a pump with tubing and a radiator. Both cool the chip, but they do it differently—and those differences affect your build budget, overall PC cooling performance, and aesthetics. .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav, .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav:hover, .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav:active { background: transparent !important; border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; ...
