The Ascend 910B AI chip has beaten Nvidia’s A100 in some tests, says a Huawei executive at the Nanjing World Semiconductor Conference A Huawei Technologies executive said the company’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) chip is on par with, if not better than Nvidia’s A100 – one of the most po[CENSORED]r graphics processing units (GPUs) used in the AI industry – in a rare boast by the Chinese tech giant that underscores how quickly it is growing in a market dominated by its US rival. Huawei’s Ascend 910B AI chip has been found in some tests to deliver 80 per cent of the efficiency of an Nvidia A100 when training large language models, but “in some other tests, Ascend chips can beat the A100 by 20 per cent”, said Wang Tao, chief operating officer of Jiangsu Kunpeng Ecosystem Innovation Centre, on the sidelines of the Nanjing World Semiconductor Conference on Thursday. There is “not much difference” between the computing power performances of the Huawei 910B and Nvidia A100 in large AI model training, Wang added.

After another year of will-they-won't-they game release dates and delays, 2024 is done and dusted. Now it's all about 2025—new year, new you—and the upcoming game release calendar is an awfully packed one already. If you're looking to plan out your calendar with all of 2025's upcoming games, we can help with the scheduling part. We're tracking all the new games of 2025 that you'll want to know about as they announce release dates and then (inevitably) as some of those release dates get delayed. What's the forecast for the new games of 2025? There's no doubt that 2025 feels like one of the biggest years for gaming in recent memory. As with the last few years, the beginning of 2025 is the beneficiary of at least one pretty big RPG delay that scooted into the new year to avoid crowding the last. Avowed wound up with a February 2025 release date where it's—well, actually now it's just sandwiched by some other really big releases in February like Civilization 7 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Fortunately for those busy schedules, an Assassin's Creed Shadows delay pushed Ubisoft's game further into March. Keep this page bookmarked to find out if anyone else chickens out of that gridlock of a release month. In 2025, GTA 6 will likely be the biggest release of the year. Though it doesn't have a release date yet, Rockstar is targeting 2025. As for whether we'll be playing it on PC this year well we aren't holding our breath. Beyond the next major Rockstar release, 2025 is already stuffed full of other long-awaited sequels in major game series. It feels a lot more like 2023: the summer that brought us Diablo 4, Baldur's Gate 3, and Starfield all right on top of each other. The biggest new games launching in 2025 | PC Gamer

Two players who celebrated Super Bowl wins with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are joining the New York Giants as the Kansas City Chiefs let them go ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes proved that the Kansas City Chiefs are still contenders, but the blowout Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles this year showed that changes need to be made for the 2025 NFL season. Which is why the front office didn’t mind letting two players leave for the New York Giants. The agency JL Sports confirmed that cornerback Nic Jones and wide receiver Montrell Washington are leaving Kansas City for the Big Apple, where they’re getting tied to reserve/future deals with the Giants. Jones, 23, was selected out of Ball State by the Chiefs with the 250th pick in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He made nine appearances in his rookie year, where he got a ring for the team’s Super Bowl LVIII victory.

PARIS—Europe’s main military powers were scrambling to reclaim a seat at the negotiating table after the Trump administration sidelined them from talks with Russia over the future of Ukraine and the continent’s broader security. French President Emmanuel Macron held an emergency meeting of European leaders inside the Élysée Palace on Monday, moments after he held a 20-minute call with President Trump. The flurry of diplomacy aimed to show that Europe still has a role to play in resolving the Ukraine war—even as senior U.S. officials traveled to Saudi Arabia this week for direct talks with Russia. The idea that the fate of Europe might be decided without direct European participation has alarmed the continent’s capitals. European governments weaned their economies off Russian fuel exports and poured billions of military aid into Ukraine as part of a war effort they regard as crucial to the region’s security. Expand article logo Continue reading Now the snub from Washington has also raised pressure on Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other leaders to define how they plan to contribute to any peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. In recent days, the Trump administration has asked European governments to fill out a questionnaire, clarifying whether they are willing to send troops in to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping force and what other capabilities they can provide as part of a security guarantee for Ukraine. The leaders must also discuss how to increase European military spending and fund longer-term assistance for Kyiv. Planned U.S.-Russia Talks Over Ukraine Throw Europe Into Crisis

What is a polymicrobial infection? Polymicrobial infections are caused by multiple pathogens, including bacteria, fungi or parasites. These infections can cause both chronic and short-term diseases. They occur when one microorganism in someone's system makes a person susceptible to a second infection by different microorganism or when two pathogens together cause a disease, according to the National Institutes of Health. The Vatican said news of the polymicrobial infections has led doctors to change the pontiff's treatment. They did not specify, however, whether the pope’s infection is bacterial or viral. A bacterial infection could be treated with antibiotics, whereas a viral infection would likely need to run its course. What is Pope Francis' health history? Pope Francis underwent surgery as a young adult in 1957 to remove a portion of his lung after he suffered a respiratory infection in his home country of Argentina. He has suffered from several illnesses since he was elected in 2013, including hospitalizations for flu-like symptoms at this time last year, bronchitis in March 2023 and a nine-day stay in June 2023 for abdominal surgery to repair a hernia. The pope occasionally uses a walker or wheelchair at public appearances. He also recently suffered from two falls in December and January.

Nvidia is investigating reports of crashes plaguing RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs, with possible driver issues maybe hitting RTX 4000 models too | TechRadar Nvidia is investigating reports of problems with its new RTX 5000 GPUs which is causing some graphics cards to crash. The issues appear to be occurring repeatedly for some, in a variety of circumstances, potentially leaving Team Green with a major headache around its new cards. The troubles began when Nvidia pushed out a new graphics driver (version 572.16) and people started experiencing crashes with some PC games. After that came reports of the RTX 5090 misfiring badly, including crashes happening, or the GPU not being recognized by the host PC. (And even the odd tale of a Blackwell flagship being bricked, but we must be very careful around those rare assertions). The problems now seem more widespread, and are apparently affecting both RTX 5090 and 5080 models, with repeated crashes occurring as noted – often freezes leaving you staring at a black screen. Part of the difficulty here is the wide range of circumstances that these different problems are manifesting in. From apparently non-functional GPUs to issues with multi-monitor setups, there’s a bewildering array of nuances to the individual complaints from RTX 5090 and 5080 owners. Nvidia told PC Gamer that it is now “investigating the reported issues with the RTX 50-series,” and I’ve got a feeling that this presumably deep dive into what’s going on here is going to take some time.
