The Modern State of Game Development: A Call for Reflection

Game development has changed dramatically over the years, and not all of it for the better. As someone who’s spent time making, modding, and playing games, I can’t help but look at the industry today and see a troubling shift—one driven by reliance on shortcuts like AI upscaling, inflated development pipelines, and a lack of focus on optimization. These trends aren’t just disappointing; they…

Xbox Series X - World Premiere - Trailer

Like and Subscribe   Xbox head Phil Spencer said that Microsoft was prioritizing high frame rates and faster load times over higher resolutions; the Series X achieves this via the better-matched capabilities of the CPU and graphics processing unit. Compared to the Xbox One X, the CPU is about four times as powerful and the GPU twice as powerful. The Xbox Series X is powered by a custom 7 nm AMD Zen 2 CPU with eight cores running at a nominal 3.8 GHz or, when simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is used, at 3.6 GHz. One CPU core is dedicated to the underlying operating system. The integrated GPU is also a custom unit based on AMD's RDNA 2 graphics architecture. It has a total of 56 compute units (CUs) with 3,584 cores, with 52 CUs and 3,328 cores enabled, and will run at a fixed 1.825 GHz. This unit is capable of 12 teraflops of computational power. The unit ships with 16 GB of GDDR6 SDRAM(Graphics Double Data Rate 6 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory ), with 10GB running at 560GB/s primarily to be used with the graphics system and the other 6 GB at 336 GB/s to be used for the other computing functions. After accounting for the system software, about 13.5 GB of memory will be available for games and other applications, with the system software only drawing from the slower pool. The Xbox Series X is intended to render games at 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, and can support up to 120 frames per second and can render up to 8K resolution. The Xbox Series X's console form is designed to be unobtrusive and minimalistic. It has a 15.1 cm × 15.1 cm (5.9 in × 5.9 in) footprint, is 30.1 cm (11.9 in) high, and weighs 4.45 kg (9.8 lb). Designed to sit vertically, it can also be used on its side. Its front has the main power button and an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive. The top of the unit is a single powerful fan. Spencer said that the console is as quiet as the Xbox One X. The Series X includes an HDMI 2.1 output, the storage expansion slot, three USB 3.2 ports, and an Ethernet port. The console does not include an infrared blaster or HDMI pass-through like the Xbox One line, supporting HDMI-CEC instead. An earlier leak had suggested a TOSLINK port for digital audio, but this was eliminated in the final design. The console has an IR receiver in its controller pairing button next to the front USB port.

This post makes me so mad because it's so utterly devoid of context, so I will attempt to provide some.

Intel 13th and 14th Gen (Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake-S) have been suffering from stability issues due to faulty microcode and VERY LIBERAL motherboard power defaults resulting in them requesting untenably high voltages, which has in many cases resulted in physical degradation of the CPUs resulting in instability.

If you're suffering from these issues, Intel has extended the warranties on all affected processors by two years. If you attempted to warranty a CPU for this reason in the past, and had your claim rejected, try again, as they'll be much more likely to accept it this time.

If you're considering building a new system, and for any of the many MANY reasons why someone might wanna avoid AMD (please AMD I'm on my knees begging you unfuck your USB implementations), Intel is going to be rolling out new microcode to all motherboard vendors in mid-August 2024. We should have BIOS updates to apply the fixes in late August to early September.

If you can't wait that long, 12th Gen Intel Core (Alder Lake) is unaffected by this issue, and Puget Systems specifically has avoided these failures entirely somehow (seeing 2% failure rates with Intel, as compared to 4% for AMD), and obviously AMD also exists and their CPUs no longer literally explode in the socket so they're probably a safe bet now.

I'm passionate about PC building. I'm also acutely aware of how hostile and confusing and unwelcoming it can feel at times. Posting a catchy headline that indicates The Bad is not helpful. Actually describing the content of official statements and telling people how to avoid or correct the issue is. I understand that we love dunking, and I WHOLEHEARTEDLY dunked on AMD when the whole exploding CPU fiasco went down, but I also helped people investigate the issue in the aftermath and avoid it themselves.

Also, before anyone accuses me of Intel fangirlism, I've run systems from Core 2, to Haswell, up through Skylake on the Intel side, and Bulldozer, Zen+, Zen 2, and Zen 3 on the AMD side. I've run the gamut from pinnacle engineering to literal e-waste, and I have little loyalty to either manufacturer. I'm just annoyed by people taking this as an opportunity to dunk and not bothering to actually help out folks who might be affected.

in case you were thinking about buying or building a pc soon:

AMD Ryzen 5 vs Intel Core i5: Which is the Best Choice in 2025?

Mid-range processors in 2025 will primarily be selected between AMD Ryzen 5 processors along with Intel Core i5 by gamers and professional users and regular consumers. The two brands achieved major advancements through their development of CPU architecture combined with increased power efficiency and general performance capabilities. The decision depends on your particular requirements. Let’s break it down.

1. Performance: Multi-Core vs. Single-Core

Performance excellence is the defining aspect that sets Ryzen 5 apart from Core i5 in user selection. The AMD Ryzen 5 series built on Zen 5 or Zen 6 architecture provides strong multi-core capabilities that excel in hectic work activities and video production and creation. The latest Intel Core i5 processors using Raptor Lake Refresh and Arrow Lake architecture have completed major developments to enhance their single-core performance but Intel has ignored multi-core capabilities.

The Core i5 processors from Intel maintain their lead in most games alongside games demanding fast clock speeds because they excel at single-core processing. AMD has made noteworthy advancements by reducing performance differences so that Ryzen 5 processors match their competitors in gameplay when utilizing AMD's 3D V-Cache system that delivers enhanced frame rates to certain video titles.

2. Power Efficiency & Thermals

Power efficiency stands as a vital factor when choosing computer systems since users focus on system temperatures and noise outputs. AMD Ryzen 5 processors marked with 4nm or 3nm processing show superior power efficiency compared to similar Intel Core i5 models. These processors operate at a reduced temperature level because they produce lower heat while also having less thermal design power (TDP) which benefits small form-factor PCs as well as laptops.

Under load condition Core i5 processors operate less efficiently since they require increased power consumption which creates higher thermal output. The increased need for improved cooling mechanisms becomes necessary because users face difficulties managing heat production especially when they engage in overclocking operations.

4. Gaming Performance: Intel vs. AMD

For gamers, choosing the right CPU depends on the types of games you play. Intel’s Core i5 processors generally offer higher clock speeds and better performance in games that rely on single-core performance, such as competitive FPS titles like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant.However, AMD’s Ryzen 5 processors with 3D V-Cache technology have proven to be game-changers for certain titles, especially RPGs and open-world games like Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077. The additional cache helps reduce latency and improve overall FPS performance in CPU-intensive games.

Lenovo Legion Go 2 é oficial e usa AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme

Por Vinicius Torres Oliveira

A Lenovo revelou o PC gamer portátil Legion Go 2, revelando que ele usará a mais recente CPU gamer da AMD para superar significativamente o Steam Deck.

O Lenovo Legion Go 2 chegou. Bem, quase. A Lenovo revelou vários detalhes do novo portátil, incluindo que ele usará a mais recente CPU móvel de ponta da AMD. Seu design ainda é rotulado como um protótipo, no entanto, e ainda não sabemos seu preço ou data de lançamento, além de chegar em algum momento de 2025.

O Lenovo Legion Go de primeira geração é um dos melhores PCs portáteis para jogos que o dinheiro pode comprar, em grande parte devido à sua enorme tela de 8,8 polegadas e 1600p, mas também aos seus controles removíveis imitando o Nintendo Switch. Agora, a Lenovo finalmente voltou com uma continuação e parece um upgrade extremamente tentador.

Especificações do Lenovo Legion Go 2

As especificações do Lenovo Legion Go 2 incluem que ele será alimentado pela nova CPU móvel AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme e usará uma nova tela OLED de 8,8 polegadas e 144 Hz com suporte a VRR e brilho máximo de 500 nits . Ele também manterá seu recurso de controle destacável, mas com um design físico totalmente novo e mais arredondado.Lenovo Legion Go 2

APU/CPU AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme Total de núcleos de CPU 8 Núcleos Zen 5 3 Núcleos Zen 5c 5 Cache L3 16MB Arquitetura GPU AMD RDNA 3.5 Processadores de fluxo de GPU 1.024 Unidades de computação GPU 16

A Lenovo revelou esses detalhes como parte de sua revelação de hardware para jogos na CES 2025. A empresa postou em seu site detalhes de três novos PCs portáteis para jogos, incluindo o Lenovo Legion Go 2. Os outros dois dispositivos são novos modelos de nível inferior chamados Legion Go S, e eles compartilham o mesmo design físico, mas um roda Windows, assim como o maior Legion Go 2, enquanto o outro roda Steam OS, para uma experiência de jogo semelhante ao Steam Deck.

A Lenovo descreve algumas das vantagens do Legion Go S Steam OS como sendo "salvamentos em nuvem que significam uma transição perfeita entre jogos de PC e portáteis, Remote Play que transmite jogos para o dispositivo a partir de um PC, acesso total à Steam Store e à Steam Library".

Voltando ao Legion Go 2, a Lenovo também revelou que ele será lançado com 32 GB de RAM LPDDR5X de 7500 MHz, o dobro da quantidade da versão original. Um par de portas USB Tipo C também foram confirmadas, então você poderá conectar o dispositivo para carregar e também conectar periféricos. Se ele vai lidar bem com a nova GPU externa RTX 5090 da Asus, no entanto, teremos que esperar para ver.

Embora oficialmente ainda seja um protótipo, a Lenovo descreve o design claramente mais arredondado e de aparência mais confortável do Legion Go 2 como incluindo também "controladores Lenovo Legion TrueStrike arredondados com um D-pad circular para entradas mais rápidas e precisas".

O dispositivo também vem com até 2 TB de armazenamento SSD e uma bateria de 74 Wh, embora a Lenovo ainda não tenha feito nenhuma afirmação sobre a duração da bateria do dispositivo.

Fundamentalmente, o chip AMD Z2 Extreme no coração do dispositivo deve trazer um aumento no desempenho dos jogos, graças à sua GPU de 16 unidades de computação, em comparação com a GPU de 12 CU de seu antecessor, além de a AMD ter feito afirmações ousadas sobre a eficiência energética aprimorada de seu novo chip sofisticado.

Data de lançamento do Lenovo Legion Go 2

A data de lançamento do Lenovo Legion Go 2 é em algum momento de 2025 , mas a Lenovo não revelou um prazo mais preciso do que este. A empresa diz que os jogadores devem "ficar atentos enquanto a Lenovo se prepara para dar vida a esta inovação emocionante para jogadores do mundo todo em 2025".

Especulação de preço do Lenovo Legion Go 2

O preço do Lenovo Legion Go 2 ainda não foi revelado , mas especulamos que será pelo menos o mesmo preço do Legion Go original quando o dispositivo foi lançado, que era US$ 699,99.

¿PC o PS5?

 La eterna pregunta para muchos entusiastas de los videojuegos: ¿es mejor comprar una PS5 o un PC en 2025? Aunque la tecnología ha avanzado a pasos agigantados, la decisión entre estas dos opciones sigue siendo compleja, ya que cada una tiene sus ventajas y desventajas dependiendo del tipo de jugador que seas, tu presupuesto y tus expectativas.

La PS5: Consola de nueva generación al alcance de todos

La PlayStation 5, lanzada en 2020, sigue siendo una opción sólida en 2025. Con un diseño elegante y un rendimiento impresionante, la PS5 ha sido una de las consolas más exitosas de la historia. Algunos de sus puntos fuertes incluyen:

1. Experiencia de juego optimizada: La PS5 está diseñada específicamente para videojuegos, lo que significa que la experiencia de usuario está enfocada en la simplicidad y la optimización. Los juegos en esta consola se ejecutan de manera fluida, gracias a su potente hardware (un procesador AMD Ryzen Zen 2 y una GPU RDNA 2 personalizada). La velocidad de carga es casi instantánea, gracias al SSD ultrarrápido, y la retroalimentación háptica del mando DualSense agrega una capa adicional de inmersión en los títulos compatibles.

2. Exclusivas de Sony: Las exclusivas de PlayStation, como Demon’s Souls, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart y Horizon Forbidden West, siguen siendo un gran atractivo para los jugadores. Si eres fanático de estos juegos, la PS5 es tu puerta de entrada a títulos que no encontrarás en PC ni en otras consolas.

3. Facilidad de uso y compatibilidad: A diferencia de un PC, que puede requerir ajustes y configuraciones de hardware, la PS5 es una consola lista para usar. Con solo conectarla, puedes empezar a jugar sin preocuparte por actualizaciones de drivers o configuraciones complicadas. Además, el catálogo de juegos en la PlayStation Store es vasto y accesible.

4. Precio accesible: En comparación con un PC de gama media o alta, la PS5 ofrece una relación calidad-precio bastante buena. Si quieres jugar los títulos más recientes en 4K y 60 FPS sin complicaciones, la PS5 lo hace posible por un costo relativamente bajo.

El PC: Flexibilidad, personalización y potencia de sobra

Por otro lado, el PC sigue siendo la opción favorita para muchos jugadores serios que buscan una plataforma más versátil. A medida que 2025 avanza, los PCs han evolucionado aún más en términos de potencia, pero también en su precio. Esto es lo que ofrece un PC gaming de última generación:

1. Potencia y rendimiento superior: El PC ofrece una flexibilidad incomparable en términos de hardware. Puedes personalizar tu equipo a medida que avanzan los años, actualizando la tarjeta gráfica, el procesador, la memoria RAM, etc. Las GPUs de última generación, como las de la serie NVIDIA RTX 40, ofrecen un rendimiento impresionante, permitiendo jugar en resoluciones 4K a altas tasas de refresco (más de 120 FPS) y habilitar tecnologías como el trazado de rayos en tiempo real.

2. Juegos de PC y mods: El mercado de juegos para PC es vastísimo y se extiende mucho más allá de las exclusivas. La mayoría de los juegos se lanzan en PC y a menudo tienen precios más bajos o mejores ofertas. Además, en PC puedes disfrutar de la posibilidad de mods, lo que puede transformar un juego por completo, añadiendo contenido personalizado y mejorando la jugabilidad. Si eres un fanático de los mods, el PC es imbatible.

3. Multitarea y productividad: Un PC no es solo para juegos. Si también planeas usarlo para tareas como edición de videos, creación de contenido o programación, un PC te ofrece la flexibilidad de realizar todas esas tareas con un rendimiento superior. La PS5, aunque excelente en juegos, está limitada en términos de productividad.

4. Mayor control sobre la experiencia: Los PC permiten una personalización mucho mayor. Desde el tipo de pantalla que usas hasta los periféricos como teclados, ratones y auriculares, puedes escoger todo según tus necesidades y preferencias. Además, los ajustes gráficos en los juegos pueden ser configurados según tu hardware, lo que te permite encontrar el equilibrio perfecto entre calidad visual y rendimiento.

5. Costo y complejidad: Es importante mencionar que un PC de alta gama es una inversión significativa. Si bien puedes encontrar PCs más baratos, un equipo gaming decente, con una GPU potente, procesador de última generación y suficiente memoria, puede superar fácilmente los $1500-$2000 USD. Además, la construcción de un PC puede ser compleja para quienes no están familiarizados con el hardware.

¿Entonces, cuál es la mejor opción en 2025?

La PS5 es ideal para quienes buscan una opción sencilla, asequible y de alto rendimiento para jugar títulos exclusivos con facilidad. Si tu principal interés son los videojuegos y quieres una experiencia optimizada sin preocuparte por configuraciones o actualizaciones, la PS5 sigue siendo una excelente opción.

El PC, por otro lado, es perfecto para aquellos que buscan la mayor flexibilidad, potencia y personalización. Si te apasionan los gráficos de última generación, los mods, o necesitas un dispositivo que también te sirva para productividad o creación de contenido, un PC gaming de alto rendimiento será más adecuado.

En resumen, no existe una respuesta única. Todo depende de tus necesidades, tu presupuesto y lo que más valore tu estilo de vida como jugador. Ambas opciones ofrecen experiencias únicas y sobresalientes, pero mientras que la PS5 puede ser más sencilla y económica, el PC te da acceso a un mundo sin límites de personalización y poder. ¡La elección es tuya!
