Intel and NVIDIA have announced a new partnership, with NVIDIA investing $5B in Intel stock. The companies will focus on seamlessly connecting NVIDIA and Intel architectures using NVIDIA NVLink – integrating the strengths of NVIDIA’s AI and accelerated computing with Intel’s leading CPU technologies and x86 ecosystem to deliver cutting-edge solutions for customers. With Intel's financial woes and NVIDIA's incredible growth, could this be the first step of an acquisition/merger like we saw with AMD and ATI? Discussion here.

Old news, but Seagate have uncovered a counterfeit hard drive workshop. During the raid, authorities reportedly uncovered approximately 700 counterfeit Seagate hard drives, with SMART values that had been reset to facilitate their sale as new. The confiscated batch included several models from Seagate's extensive hard drive range, with capacities reaching up to 18TB. However, Seagate-branded drives were not the only items involved, as authorities also discovered drives from Kioxia and Western Digital.

Also old, this MOS 6502 CPU unboxing. Back in 1975, you could order a boxed 6502 CPU directly from MOS in Norristown, PA. Here are some high-res photos of such a box and its contents.

TechPowerUp compared 30 GPUs in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Konami, in collaboration with Virtuos, has built Metal Gear Solid Delta on Unreal Engine 5, replacing the Fox Engine used in earlier versions. This modern engine allows for vast environmental detail and improved character realism, with persistent wounds, dirt, and camouflage effects. The remake also features greatly improved facial animation, cinematic lighting through UE5's Lumen technology, and enhanced physics. The game has support for upscaling technologies like NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR, but there is no frame generation support.

Social media will soon require age verification in Australia. Australia urged social media platforms to employ "minimally invasive" methods to check the age of users covered by its world-first teen social media ban, including account artificial intelligence (AI) and behavioural data. Still not entirely sure if/how this applies to OCAU.

And while we all wait for Retro Misc Pics, there's still plenty of time to play this month's Retro Gaming Lets Play.

Set in a dystopian future, Strider follows our hero Hiryu as he attempts to end the tyrannical reign of Grandmaster Meio, for good. Strider's gameplay is cited as a major influence on the video game franchises Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry, and God of War. It became one of Capcom's early hits, praised for its innovative gameplay, diverse and unique music, and multilingual voice samples.
