AMD launches RDNA 3 based Radeon RX 7000 series flagship GPUs with up to 54 jump in performance per watt

AMD has taken the wraps off its highly anticipated Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs at a press event in Las Vegas today. Dr. Lisa Su, CEO of AMD opened the keynote, announcing the launch of the AMD RDNA 3 as the world's most advanced graphics architecture that delivers the future of gaming. She further added that AMD is focused on performance-per-watt leadership while focusing on developing high-performance GPUs for gamers and creators. The big story for AMD is that the new GPU achieves up to 54% higher performance per watt in comparison to the previous-gen flagship GPU from the company.

Based on the all-new RDNA 3 architecture, it is the world's first gaming GPU based on a chiplet design instead of the traditional SoC design. The chiplet design allows for better power efficiency and is also known to be cost-efficient. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and the RX 7900 XT GPUs use 5nm GCD (Graphics Compute Die) and 6nm MCD (Memory Cache Die). The AMD RDNA 3 GPU offers 61 teraflops of computing power, a big jump in comparison to the RDNA 2 which does 23 teraflops. The RDNA 3 also brings in a new memory cache die that uses AMD's 2nd Gen Infinity Cache, boosting peak bandwidth by 2.7x to 5.3 TB/s in comparison to the RDNA 2 based GPUs. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX comes with 24GB of GDDR6 memory while the Radeon RX 7900 XT has 20GB of GDDR6 memory.

With these RDNA 3 based flagship GPUs, AMD intends to push the envelope for gamers gunning for high-resolution gaming at high frame rates. The RDNA 3 GPUs bring support for the latest DisplayPort 2.1 standard, dishing out 54 Gbps of bandwidth for 8K@165Hz and 4K@480Hz gaming.

AMD's own gaming comparison charts show the Radeon RX 7900 XTX pushing the performance by upto 1.7x in comparison to the Radeon RX 6950 XT for popular AAA gaming titles running at 4K resolution.

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is expected to stack-up against the Nvidia Geforce RTX 4080, both of which are gunning for the sweet spot when it comes to high-end gaming. The India pricing and availability of the AMD Radeon RX 7000 series cards are not been officially announced yet, but one can expect the cards to make their way a bit later to the US release.

EA to launch an Iron Man Game as part of the 3-game deal with Marvel: Details

The Star War Jedi series release was a big step in EA's relationship with Disney, and now the company is focusing on building the relationship even further. As a result, Montreal-based Electronic Art Motive Studio announced it is working on the Iron Man game.

The Iron Man game, confirmed in September, would feature an original narrative based on the story of one of the most loved fictional characters Tony Stark (Iron Man), enacted by Robert Downey Jr., the Hollywood actor in the popular superhero movie franchise. In addition, EA's Iron Man game will be a single-player, third-person action-adventure game available on PC and consoles.

EA mentioned that the deal with Marvel gives it access to one of the most significant and widespread entertainment companies. The films based on Marvel comics have been an enormous success, and EA earlier collaborated with Walt Disney to develop a game based on the Star Wars movie franchise for PCS, consoles, and mobile phones. The first of those, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, was released in late 2019 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. EA gave it a next-gen update for PS5 and Xbox Series S/X in mid-2021. A sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, is expected in 2023 on PC, PS45, and Xbox Series S/X.

Twitters edit feature could soon be available for free to everyone

As per a few reports, Twitter’s Elon Musk is soon planning to make the edit feature for tweets available to everyone for free. As of now, if one wants to use the edit feature on their tweets, they are required to pay for Twitter Blue which costs $4.99 each month. Let’s check out this update by Twitter in detail! 

Twitter Edit feature to be free for everyone

As of now, Twitter’s edit function is only available to subscribers of Twitter Blue, so anyone who pays $5 a month can use this feature. However, this feature has still not been made free, meaning not everyone can use it, until now. 

Because according to a report from Platformer’s Casey Newton, Twitter is soon planning to make the edit button free for everyone, not just Twitter Blue subscribers.

A $99 annual plan for Twitter Blue! Everyone gets the edit button for free! And that all-hands meeting is canceled! All the latest from inside Twitter’s regime change in today’s @platformer for subscribers https://t.co/ITQTTJnxFR pic.twitter.com/x4tTq6ubLp

— Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) November 1, 2022 How to edit a Tweet?

In case you’re already a Twitter Blue subscriber, then you can follow the steps below in order to edit a tweet:

Select the Tweet that you’re willing to edit. Next, tap the 3 dots and open the More menu. There, you’ll find the Edit Tweet option, click on it. Now you can make changes to your tweet. Once that’s done, then tap on the update button to update your tweet.

One thing to keep in mind is that tweets can only be edited within 30 minutes from the time of posting and they can only be edited up to 5 times.

Recently, Elon Musk himself confirmed that the company would be increasing the price of their Twitter Blue subscription from the current $4.99 price to $8 per month. Along with the verification badge, this update for Twitter Blue is also said to add features like having a paid verified profile, priority in replies, mentions, and more.

Gmail now natively supports package tracking: Heres how to use it

Google has added package tracking support on Gmail. The email client can pull tracking number in the email body and use that to track packages automatically. Well, this will work on an opt-in basis. So, once you allow Gmail to track your packages, it will show you updates on package status from shipping carriers. Here’s how that looks in action:

Gmail Package Tracking: How it works

As already mentioned, it’s a matter of granting permission to Gmail to scan for the tracking number/code and the Google wizardry will take care of the rest. You will see order statuses right in your inbox. 

You can opt-in to it through Gmail settings or grant permissions if the prompt appears on the inbox feed itself. And if you don’t like it, you can opt out of the Gmail Package Tracking whenever you want through the Gmail settings itself.

Going forward Gmail will also show delays in shipments, an ability which is missing right now.  Google is going to roll out package tracking feature in the US in the "coming weeks." The availability for other markets is currently unknown. In the US, the feature will be working with leading shipping carriers. 

Overall, this new Gmail feature removes the extra step involved in going to a different website and entering details to check the shipment status. It also makes Gmail an even more convenient and capable email client. It is likely to come in handy for the Gmail users during the forthcoming festive shoppings.
