GOG, the gaming storefront owned by CD Projekt, is getting into cloud gaming by teaming up with Amazon Luna. Since the Luna cloud service streams games from Amazon's cloud servers, you'll be able to access the titles you've purchased from the store across any compatible device you own, including PCs, Macs, Android and iOS mobile devices, as well as smart TVs and Fire tablets. That is, so long as those devices are installed with the Luna app and you're connected to the internet. You'll also be able to use any Luna-compatible devices and controllers, such as Xbox One's and PS4's, to play your games. In its announcement, GOG says you'll be able to play any of the games you own on its platform, provided that they're also on Luna. The CD Projekt subsidiary has confirmed those titles include the Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077, but you can check if your other games are accessible if you already have Amazon's cloud streaming service. Take note that if you find a game you want to play within the Luna client, you don't have to go to GOG to buy it first. If the title is available on both services, any game you purchase from Luna will also appear in your GOG library. Your downloads will remain DRM-free even if you buy from Luna, and you'll be able to enjoy GOG Galaxy features, such as cloud saves and achievements. The collaboration isn't quite live yet, and the companies have yet to announce when it'll be available other than it's coming "soon." Access to it will be limited to regions where Luna is available, however, namely in the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gog-gets-into-cloud-gaming-with-amazon-luna-partnership-084558767.html?src=rss
Logitech is expanding its Mevo lineup of live-streaming cameras for creators. The companys new Mevo Core shoots in 4K, meaning, unlike the 1080p Mevo Start we reviewed two years ago, cropping and digital zooms wont lead to overly grainy video. However, the tradeoff is pricing, as the new model will set you back three times as much for a three-camera setup. The Mevo Core continues the lineups trajectory of wireless multicam live-streaming directly to platforms like YouTube, Twitch and Facebook. (Of course, you can also record content to upload later.) The $999 package ships as a body only, although Logitech says it will sell lens bundle kits through Amazon and B&H Photo Video. Either way, youll need at least one Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens to get started, and the company says any powered or manual MFT lens will work on day one. The camera has a large 4/3 CMOS sensor, which Logitech says diminishes noise and improves low-light performance and depth of field compared to the 1080p model. The Core shoots in 4K at 30fps for recording content to upload later; if youre live-streaming, you can instead use 1080p at 30fps. This model supports WiFi 6E, which could help with network latency and stability if your router also supports it. Logitech The cameras body is noticeably bigger than that of the Mevo Start. At 3.5 x 3.5 x 3.25 inches, it has a similar depth and height but is about twice the width. With its battery installed (and no lenses mounted), it weighs 1.5 lbs. Logitech says its audio is upgraded, too. It has a built-in three-microphone array with noise cancellation. You can also connect an external mic (or other audio source), which we found essential in the Mevo Start. Well have to wait and see if the Cores built-in mics fare much better. The Mevo Cores battery life is estimated at six hours. If you need more time, you can plug an external power source into its USB-C port. It also includes an HDMI port, a 3.5mm one (for analog audio), and a microSD card slot. Logitech says it can double as an (incredibly expensive) wired or wireless HD webcam. Like previous models, the Mevo Core works with Logitechs Mevo app (where you can adjust things like focus, zoom, and aperture) and Multicam app to set up multi-viewpoint recording or streaming. The Logitech Mevo Core is available for $999 for a single (body-only) camera starting today. Its available from Logitech, Amazon, and B&H Photo Video.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/logitechs-999-4k-livestreaming-camera-is-triple-the-price-of-its-1080p-model-070146814.html?src=rss
In less than two years, NVIDIAs H100 chips, which are used by nearly every AI company in the world to train large language models that power services like ChatGPT, made it one of the worlds most valuable companies. On Monday, NVIDIA announced a next-generation platform called Blackwell, whose chips are between seven and 30 times faster than the H100 and use 25 times less power.Blackwell GPUs are the engine to power this new Industrial Revolution, said NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang at the companys annual GTC event in San Jose attended by thousands of developers, and which some compared to a Taylor Swift concert. Generative AI is the defining technology of our time. Working with the most dynamic companies in the world, we will realize the promise of AI for every industry, Huang added in a press release.NVIDIAs Blackwell chips are named in honor of David Harold Blackwell, a mathematician who specialized in game theory and statistics. NVIDIA claims that Blackwell is the worlds most powerful chip. It offers a significant performance upgrade to AI companies with speeds of 20 petaflops compared to just 4 petaflops that the H100 provided. Much of this speed is made possible thanks the 208 billion transistors in Blackwell chips compared to 80 billion in the H100. To achieve this, NVIDIA connected two large chip dies that can talk to each other at speeds up to 10 terabytes per second.In a sign of just how dependent our modern AI revolution is on NVIDIAs chips, the companys press release includes testimonials from seven CEOs who collectively lead companies worth trillions of dollars. They include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, Oracle chairman Larry Ellison, Dell CEO Michael Dell, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.There is currently nothing better than NVIDIA hardware for AI, Musk says in the statement. "Blackwell offers massive performance leaps, and will accelerate our ability to deliver leading-edge models. Were excited to continue working with NVIDIA to enhance AI compute, Altman says.NVIDIA did not disclose how much Blackwell chips would cost. Its H100 chips currently run between 25,000 and $40,000 per chip, according to CNBC, and entire systems powered by these chips can cost as much as $200,000. Despite their costs, NVIDIAs chips are in high demand. Last year, delivery wait times were as high as 11 months. And having access to NVIDIAs AI chips is increasingly seen as a status symbol for tech companies looking to attract AI talent. Earlier this year, Zuckerberg touted the companys efforts to build a massive amount of infrastructure to power Metas AI efforts. At the end of this year, Zuckerberg wrote, we will have ~350k Nvidia H100s and overall ~600k H100s H100 equivalents of compute if you include other GPUs.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/nvidias-gpus-powered-the-ai-revolution-its-new-blackwell-chips-are-up-to-30-times-faster-001059577.html?src=rss
