Back in 2015, Kirk Hamilton floated a “crackpot theory” that Ciri from The Witcher III told a tale of traveling to the world of CD Projekt Red’s upcoming Cyberpunk 2077. What if he was wrong? What if she traveled to a galaxy far, far away?

Wow, Spain Sure Has a Lot of Pigs
Posted in: Today's Chili

That’s the first recorded time the…

Among the products that Google is expected to launch at its fall event this year is a new Pixelbook. The company launched one last year as well so it’s safe to assume that there’s going to be a successor to that device this year. A new report mentions that the new Google Pixelbook specs may include a 4K display.
The folks at XDA Developers believe that the next Pixelbook is a device codenamed Atlas and that it features an Intel Kaby Lake processor with 8GB of RAM. It may not have an SD card slot but is said to feature a 4K display and a backlit keyboard with a physical button for the Google Assistant.
It’s the 4K display and 8GB of RAM that makes this device stand out from the other Chrome OS-powered devices that are being worked on right now. These specs are out of pace for the conventional Chromebooks that tend to be a budget affair with the specs to match. Moreover, the lack of an SD card slot is a big indication as well since last year’s Pixelbook didn’t have one as well.
Google hasn’t said anything about a new Pixelbook at this point in time. There haven’t been any major leaks concerning this device as yet, though it’s possible that some might emerge in the weeks leading up to the launch.

NVIDIA hinted earlier this week that it may announce a new set of graphics cards at Gamescom. A new report brings us the purported GeForce RTX 2080 specs, which if accurate, will certainly appeal to gamers. The report also mentions that NVIDIA won’t just be unveiling the RTX 2080 at the event, it will also unveil the high-performance RTX 2080 ti variant at the same time.
NVIDIA normally separates the launch of the base and Ti variants of its graphics cards by a few months but it’s interesting to see that it might be considering a combined launch of the two for the RTX 2080.
The RTX 2080 Ti specs, according to VideoCardz.com, include 4,352 CUDA cores with 11GB of 352 bit memory. It will have a total bandwidth of 616 GB/s. That’s quite an improvement compared to the 3,584 CUDA cores and 11GB of 352 bit memory at 484 GB/s of the 1080 Ti.
As far as the RTX 2080 specs are concerned, it may feature 2,944 CUDA cores with 8GB of 256 bit memory at 448 GB/s. That’s an improvement compared to the GTX 1080 with its 2,560 CUDA cores, 8GB 256 bit memory at 352 GB/s.
Both of these models are likely to be based on NVIDIA’s new Turing GPU architecture that the company has already announced. The Turing architecture brings new capabilities such as advanced AI, hardware-accelerated real-time ray tracing, and more.
No word as yet on the pricing and availability of these cards. NVIDIA’s Gamescom event will start at 1 pm ET on August 20th.
