Intel teases with 11th gen desktop Rocket Lake-S CPU info, max of 8 cores

Quoting: WJMazepas
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI think is not the right time for a cpu upgrade...

I prefer to wait a year or two until Intel or AMD adopt the DDR5 [External Link] standard
Well, if someone have a 7 generation Intel Core or a Ryzen First Gen, then upgrading to Rocket Lake or Ryzen 5xxx is actually a really nice upgrade
I have an olde i7 4790K 2X8Gb DDR3 2400CL11 in the Windows10 machine and 4690K 4x4GB DDR3 2400CL11 in this Linux machine and, while I have a bit of bottle neck when I use an RTX 2060 SUPER, I don't feel necessary to upgrade the CPU now because I play at 1080p.

Quoting: dubigrasuAll Metro games are using DXVK on Stadia in a form or another. If you download your Google data you can find dxvk caches for Metro games.
So, I was right....

Native Linux ports... yeah, right...
And the Argentinian peso is an strong currency.

OpenGL in the era of Vulkan?
At least they support Linux, unlike big studios.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleWish people would stop thinking that Stadia's tech is some huge mystery we have to speculate about. There is info on the web site and there have been very detailed talks by developers. Maybe a recap article that consolidates all of this stuff might help people get off this weird trip.
Nobody doubt that Stadia is Debian + Vulkan...

The doubts are if the big games are actually ported to Debian + Vulkan when they could be just Windows games running on Debian + Vulkan via Proton alike compatibility layer, being that the cheapest way according to the mentality of those big publishers.

Maybe Google is earning money using DXVK and the author doesn't even know it.

Quoting: GuestWould you prefer to stop acknowledging the Wine project as well then? After all, that's for running Windows software, and Windows gaming.
....locally installed on your Linux machine.

Quoting: LinasDo we have any details on how they make these Windows-only DirectX 12 games work on Stadia? I mean, is it actually running on Linux? [Conspiracy theory intensifies]
I think all Stadia games are windows game running on Debian via compatibility layer...
Is the more cheapest process...
No, Stadia runs native Linux ports with a Vulkan based layer that works with their streaming tech.
According to Who?
