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.

Dungeons of Hinterberg review: a breezy action RPG that’s as pretty as a postcard | Rock Paper Shotgun Usually when a game makes me want to stop playing and go outside it’s a bad sign, but with Dungeons of Hinterberg it’s different. It’s an action RPG that made me pine for the outdoors and want to be whisked away from all my responsibilities and just exist for a bit. Each time I would finish playing I’d be thinking about my next getaway, and although dungeon delving wouldn’t be on my holiday itinerary Dungeons of Hinterberg is making me think twice. Protagonist Luisa is stuck in a place we’ve all visited before: Burnout City. She’s a busy lawyer who yearns for some downtime so has decided to escape to the picturesque Hinterberg, a whimsical alpine Austrian village. Hinterberg is essentially a recreational holiday destination where you can hike through the wilderness, knock back a few beers with the locals, and slay some monsters when the feeling strikes you. Outside of the game’s home hub of Hinterberg are four regions with their own handful of dungeons. You decide which region you’d like to visit in the morning, hack and slash your way through a dungeon during the day, hang out with the locals during the evening, then finish the day by returning to your hotel room. It’s a routine you settle into quickly thanks to each area’s distinct charm. From the snowy peaks of Kolmstein with its white wonderland of majestic mountains and ice caves, to the lush meadows of Doberkogel complete with cows, cable cars, and flowers - I was forever taking screenshots, slowly compiling a bumper book of holiday snaps. Each of these regions will grant you two special magical abilities that can only be used in that area and its dungeons. For example, in Doberkogel you can summon a giant, spherical bomb that blasts through blockades and a ball and chain which you can fire at items and pull them towards you. Dungeons will test these abilities through a mix of combat encounters and puzzle-solving, all presented in wildly different ways. You might need to navigate an underwater castle, snowboard across a winter obstacle course, or survive a rickety minecart ride through a monster-invested cavern. When you reach the end of a dungeon you’ll get a satisfying travel stamp in your notebook. Puzzles hit that sweet spot of being minimal effort where nothing is going to majorly stump you, but their breeziness and intuitiveness still makes them satisfying to solve. All the environmental puzzle-platforming regulars are here - switching buttons, pulling levers, moving platforms and the like - but because of each area's regional magic, the puzzle design is constantly switched up. They push you to use your powers in interesting ways, and dungeons feel like they’ve been designed with the puzzles first and foremost, with the level being built around the core idea. Magic isn't only for puzzling but also a part of your fighting arsenal, alongside plenty of other abilities. Luisa doesn’t carry round a big sword for the drip either, as you’ll be hacking and slashing your way through hordes of monsters too. The way she moves feels incredibly fluid, and together with some equippable abilities, fights are often a frenzy of activity and action. I might leap in with 1, 2, 3 quick sword swipes, dodge away, hit ‘em with an ice beam (thanks to the magical power in Kolmstein), and then activate my Blade Tornado, a devastating spinning ability that’s as deadly as it sounds.

President Donald Trump has started his second stint in the White House by earning positive reviews from Americans, with especially high marks given for the president keeping campaign promises. A large majority of Americans, 70%, believe Trump is doing "what he promised" during the campaign, while just 30% believe the president’s agenda has been "different from promised," according to the results of a CBS/YouGov poll released on Sunday. The poll found that Trump’s overall approval on the job so far is 53%, with 47% of respondents indicating they disapprove. Voters also used positive words to describe the president, with 69% describing him as tough, 63% energetic, 60% focused, and 58% effective. Many Americans also approve of the job Trump has done so far on key issues, with 59% saying they approve of his program to deport illegal immigrants, while 41% said they do not approve. A larger majority, 64%, indicated they approve of the president’s plan to send U.S. troops to the U.S-Mexico border, while 36% disapprove. A majority also responded that they approve of Trump’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, with 54% of Americans saying they approve, compared with 46% who disapprove. However, Americans are less sure about the president’s proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza following the war, with just 13% responding that it is a "good idea," while 47% say it is a "bad idea" and 40% marked that they were not sure. READ ON THE FOX NEWS APP A slimmer majority approved of Elon Musk and DOGE, with 23% of Americans indicating that they believe the new agency should have "a lot" of influence over government spending and 28% answering that it should have "some," for a total of 51%. Meanwhile, 18% replied that DOGE should have "not much" influence over government spending and 31% said it should have "none," for a total of 49%. But Trump did score some lower marks when it came to his economic agenda, most notably on his efforts to tackle inflation, with 66% indicating the president has not committed enough attention to lowering prices, while 31% believe Trump has focused on the issue the "right amount" and 3% indicated the president has focused "too much" on the issue. New poll shows what Americans think of Trump's performance in second term

Fueled by a harassing defense, Philadelphia denied a Kansas City coronation in Super Bowl 59, dethroning the Chiefs in a rout that delivered the Eagles their second championship in seven seasons by a score of 40-22. Quarterback Jalen Hurts earned MVP honors after throwing for two touchdowns and running for one more. Kansas City had won three Super Bowl titles in the last five years, including the last two, and it was trying to become the first team in the NFL's Super Bowl era to win back-to-back-to-back titles. Led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, whose résumé sparked debates about whether he or Tom Brady was the best quarterback in NFL history, the Chiefs had won 17 consecutive one-score games and appeared infallible in the clutch. Philadelphia, however, never allowed this Super Bowl — a rematch from two years earlier — to ever get close, muting Mahomes' effectiveness from the opening drive. Follow along for live coverage In front of a sold-out Superdome crowd in New Orleans, the Eagles’ top-rated defense used its unrelenting pass rush to intercept Mahomes twice before halftime — including an interception birthday boy Cooper DeJean returned for a touchdown — and hold Kansas City scoreless until the final minute of the third quarter. By then, Philadelphia already led 34-0, the biggest deficit Mahomes had ever faced in his decorated career. Kansas City had overcome 10-point deficits to win each of its previous three championships under Mahomes and coach Andy Reid, but no team had ever overcome this big a hole to win a Super Bowl before. Mahomes was sacked a season-high six times and was never allowed enough time to engineer the kind of play-extending magic that had become his signature as he pushed Kansas City to an unprecedented fifth Super Bowl in six seasons. Mahomes had just 33 yards at halftime but finished with 257 yards and three touchdowns. Most striking was how Philadelphia cruised to victory while rarely needing its star running back, Saquon Barkley, to deliver the kind of big plays that had helped the Eagles advance to the Super Bowl in the first place. Barkley surpassed Denver’s Terrell Davis in the second quarter for the most rushing yards in a single season, playoffs included, with 2,478, but he finished with 57 yards on 25 carries, his second-lowest rushing total of the season. Philadelphia’s oft-criticized passing game turned a one-sided game into a blowout. Since the Eagles' Super Bowl loss two years earlier against Kansas City, Hurts adorned his phone's lock screen with a photo of himself walking off the field following the defeat, a constant reminder of coming up short on the NFL's biggest stage. But Hurts was the one celebrating Sunday. He rushed for 72 yards and the game’s opening touchdown, found receiver A.J. Brown for a 12-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter for a 24-0 Eagles lead, and then his 46-yard pass to DeVonta Smith late in the third quarter sealed the victory by extending the lead to 34 points. Hurts completed 17 of his 22 passes for 221 yards, including two touchdowns and one interception. The Chiefs narrowed the final margin when Mahomes threw for two touchdowns in the game's final three minutes, but by then the game was so out of reach that Eagles coach Nick Sirianni had already been doused with a celebratory Gatorade bath by his players. The celebration could officially get underway when Philadelphia recovered an onside kick with 1:48 to play. The Eagles' victory represented a resurgence for a franchise that, since it won its first Super Bowl title in 2018, had fired its coach and endured a humiliating end to the 2023 season. When the Eagles started 2-2, Sirianni was questioned about his hold on the locker room, and when he yelled at Eagles fans in mid-October, he was questioned about his composure; he later apologized. But after Philadelphia’s Week 5 bye, it finished the season 16-1, including Sunday’s runaway victory. Philadelphia Eagles demolish the Kansas City Chiefs to win their second Super Bowl
