Sony patent envisions dual GPU console and cloud gaming, could be the PS5 Pro

Posted: 04 Dec 2020 05:19 AM PST

A patent filed in January last year by Sony reveals an ambitious project of a console that sports not one but two GPUs, similar to some PC configurations with Nvidia's SLI and AMD's CrossFire GPU support. The patent, however, says that the implementation of two GPUs in a console is much more elaborate than on a PC. The patent details how the two GPUs would work to render a single frame simultaneously or just split the frame into two and feed it to the two GPU units. Only one of the GPUs will control the HDMI output, which requires the GPU managing the video output to read the frames...

Alleged Google Pixel XE smartphone surfaces in a set of live photos

Posted: 04 Dec 2020 03:39 AM PST

Ever heard of a Pixel XE? Don't worry, we haven't either, which in addition to its unconfirmed source makes this leak very suspect. Still, Pixels have leaked full months before the release, before so it's possible that someone got a hold of an early engineering sample. The live photos of the Pixel XE don't reveal much except that it has NFC and has two SIM card slots. If we can judge from the muddy close-up shots, the device will likely sport a display with rather thick side bezels and a centered punch hole for the front-facing camera. The rest is still a mystery.
