The Upgraded Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 May Just Have Been Called the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2 Earlier, we reported about the global version of the Galaxy S23 Ultra spotted on Geekbench, with the single Cortex-X3 operating at a clock speed of 3.36GHz instead of the default frequency of 3.20GHz specified on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s specifications page. According to Ice Universe, the CPU speed is not the only difference that will likely be changed about the silicon running in every Galaxy S23 model....

The fallout from the insolvency of the crypto exchange FTX keeps growing as investors wonder which project will be the next to go under amid ricocheting margin calls and decimated DeFi portfolios. With FTX’s founder, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), playing such a pivotal role in the launch of Solana, it is hardly surprising that the blockchain’s native SOL coin is getting utterly eviscerated today. At the time of writing, Solana’s SOL token is down 43 percent over the past 24 hours as opposed to Bitcoin’s 16 percent loss in the same timeframe....

As part of its testing campaign for the Starship launch vehicle platform, SpaceX conducted two important tests yesterday in its facilities in Boca Chica, Texas. The company is currently developing its Starship next generation launch vehicle platform in Texas, and the rocket is made of a first stage booster and the upper stage spacecraft. SpaceX tested both of their engines through a static fire test, in a more cautious approach that reflected a major accident last month that threatened to damage the 33 engines present on the booster....

As part of its launch campaign for its Mars rocket, Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) lifted the Super Heavy booster prototype of its Starship next generation rocket with a crane in its testing facilities in Boca Chica, Texas on Friday. As opposed to its Falcon 9 rockets which are assembled before being sent out to the pad, SpaceX plans to lift the two pieces of Starship on the launch pad itself, and to do this, the company has built a large crane structure....

Spectre V2 hits Intel and ARM CPUs once again, affecting newer Intel and Arm cores BHI is a proof-of-concept attack affecting vulnerable CPUs open to Spectre V2 exploits. The interesting part of this particular attack is that several mitigations were currently in place on the affected CPUs. BHI avoids the Intel Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (EIBRS) and the Arm ID_PFR0_EL1 CSV2 assignment. VUSec reports that BHI enables cross-privilege Spectre-v2 exploits, allowing kernel-to-kernel (intra-mode BTI) exploits and permitting attackers to place predictor entries into the global branch prediction history make kernel leak data....

Let’s start with the new Story Mode. In Return of the Mammalians, you’ll be able to get the hang of battles and weapons while setting out on an adventure to discover the secrets of Alterna, the Fuzzy Ooze, and how it connects to the title’s theme. As Agent 3, the latest recruit of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, players will battle with the Octarian Army, whose members are covered in hair for some reason....

You can watch the latest trailer below: As seen above Splatoon 3 will be released on September 9, 2022. Splatoon 3 will take place in what’s known as the Splatlands, a sun-scorched desert inhabited by battle-hardened Inklings and Octolings. Splatsville, the city of chaos, is the adrenaline-fueled heart of this dusty wasteland. Even then, the game will still have some chaotic PvP, PvE, and single-player content. Splatoon 3’s Turf War is going to be 4v4 and the goal continues to be to paint as much of the area in your team’s ink as possible....

Of course, take this all with a grain of salt for now, but a new trailer at The Game Awards would certainly make a lot of sense, as it seems like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is launching early in 2023. Rumors of a March release have been circulating for a while and EA’s most recent earnings report seemed to back that up. Haven’t been keeping up with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?...

One of the big reveals at Sunday’s showcase was space combat, which according to Howard won’t feel too twitchy. The developer also confirmed that you can board ships and even steal them, as well as smuggle goods across the galaxy as if you were Han Solo. Howard also commented on Starfield’s main quest length, which should be quite a bit larger than Skyrim and Fallout 4’s at around 40 hours....

The Steam Deck’s dock, on paper, would function similarly to the currently-out Nintendo Switch’s dock; charge the thing and connect it to a TV while docked. Fundamentally, they’re the same on that level. Today, though, the unreleased Steam Deck’s dock got a hardware upgrade… before it was even released. Previously, instead of having a single USB 3.1 port, two USB 2.0 ports, and a nondescript ethernet port, Valve updated the specifications of the dock....

Tech channel Analista De Bits released two comparisons following yesterday’s release of the cat game, including a comparison between the different PlayStation consoles, and one that compares the game’s visuals on Sony’s consoles to those on PC and Steam Deck. You’ll find both comparison videos down below: Comparing the console versions to each other shows that loading times are twice as fast on PlayStation 5 compared to PlayStation 4. In addition, the PS5 version features higher resolution and reflections as well as (although minor) better quality fur rendering and textures....

With Street Fighter 6 being in full development, nothing major is expected to hit Street Fighter V: Champion Edition in the future....

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares have started the new trading week in the red as sweeping price cuts for its EVs in one of the company’s biggest growth markets have given rise to softening demand fears. However, the reality is a bit more nuanced than this superficial take. Let’s delve deeper. — Troy Teslike (@TroyTeslike) October 24, 2022 Tesla has reduced the retail price of its Model 3 and Model Y EVs in China, with the Model Y Long Range version receiving the steepest cut of 9....

Meanwhile, all platforms received the New Game + mode for free.

Looking good! The debate will likely go on forever about whether this remake was “necessary” or the best use of Naughty Dog’s resources, but I’m not going to complain about an even better version of one of the best games of all time. Haven’t been keeping up with The Last of Us Part I? Here’s the official description… “Experience the emotional storytelling and unforgettable characters of The Last of US, winner of over 200 Game of the Year awards....
