Rumored RTX 5000 GPU price leaks are shocking – Nvidia should just call the RTX 5090 a Titan if it’s going to charge up to $2,500 for it

Nvidia is reportedly considering charging insane prices for the upcoming RTX 5000 GPUs.
The RTX 5090 may cost between $1,999 and $2,499, and the RTX 5080 may cost between $1,199 and $1,499.
The RTX 5070 could cost between $599 and $699.
The launch of these GPUs is set for early 2025, and they could be unveiled at CES that year.
The RTX 5070 is expected to offer a similar performance to the RTX 4070 Ti in rasterization, and it will offer better performance in ray tracing.
These rumors, if true, suggest Nvidia is increasing prices steeply with each new iteration of its GPUs.
MLID describes these potential prices as disastrous.
Nvidia may be considering high prices for the Blackwell GPUs rather than the Titan GPUs which were priced similarly.
These potential high prices could leave room for AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics cards to be less competitive when they arrive.
It's recommended that everyone voices their opinion regarding these fathomable prices on their social media outlets.

Google Gemini's new summarize tool is transforming my email nightmare into a dream

Google has introduced a new update to its AI tool, Gemini that can summarize a day's email for Gmail users.
This is primarily aimed at those whose inboxes are clogged with numerous unread emails and notifications.
Users of Google Workspace can use the feature by asking Gemini to “Summarize my inbox“ and get a neat summary of the day's emails.
The tool is also useful for finding old emails that might be difficult to locate or search for.
One user reported on the AI summarising emails between him and his brother that were more than 10 years old.
The integration is currently only available to subscribers to Gemini Advanced.
Gemini has become one of the best examples of using AI as a computer-generated personal assistant.
The tool's basic capabilities promise future developments to help users take control of their Gmail inbox.
It is expected that the tool will soon become available for multiple Gmail accounts for a more comprehensive reflection of one's email inbox.
Gemini's new tool promises to improve email management for users struggling with overwhelmed inboxes.

Sorry, gamers — Intel’s new CPUs won’t deliver any gains

Intel's new Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs won't deliver any gains in gaming performance.
The new range of CPUs, called Intel Core Ultra 200S, offers similar core counts and clock speeds to previous generations.
The CPUs do not come with Hyper-Threading and have comparable performance to last-gen chips like the Core i9-14900K.
Intel focuses on improved efficiency, with lower power consumption and cooler temperatures compared to previous chips.

Intel's 15th-gen CPUs are all about power efficiency and thermals

Intel announced its newest line of Arrow Lake CPUs, which will be available on October 24. It introduces five new models that the company claims can lower internal package temperatures by about 10 degrees Celsius and reduce power consumption by up to 40% compared to the previous generation. The CPUs' features include a new neural processing unit and a 24-core CPU design consisting of eight 'Lion Cove' performance cores and 16 'Skymont' efficiency cores. In gaming performance, the 285K records to run Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 about 4% faster, while drawing 165W less of system power.
Intel has managed to maintain the lead for the gaming performance over its rival AMD, but at the cost of power efficiency and thermals. These efficiencies have limited their appeal, particularly as small-factor PC builds have become more popular. The new CPUs support an equally impressive thermal gains as users can limit their power draw from Intel's default of 250W to 175W or 125W. This efficient desktop portfolio is a new paradigm change for Intel, which the company is confident will match the numbers it announced today.
The new Arrow Lake line of CPUs is the most efficient family of desktop processors the company has put out in a long time. However, whether that alone will be enough to turn Intel’s fortunes around is less clear. In the short term, the company faces a rival AMD that is more competitive than ever. In the long term, it’s difficult to say how much of Arrow Lake’s performance should be attributed to Intel’s engineers because of the outsourcing of Arrow Lake's manufacturing to a third party.
The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, the current flagship of this line, is priced at $589 and is expected to appeal to those who like to undervolt their CPU or plan to go with an ITX case and motherboard for their next build. For those in search of more affordable entry into the Arrow Lake ecosystem, the company has also added the 14-core Ultra 5 245KF for $294 and the 20-core Ultra 7 265K for $394. The 265K runs about 15 degrees cooler than the 14900K and draws up to 188W lesser system power.
Intel also shared more information about its upcoming Arrow Lake H laptop chips, which the company said would arrive at the start of next year.

Intel did the unthinkable with its new Arrow Lake CPUs

Intel has released its new Arrow Lake range of desktop CPUs, called Core Ultra 200S, which no longer includes the simultaneous multi-threading (SMT) feature.
The new range delivers an 8% performance improvement in single-threaded workloads and a 4% uplift compared to the Ryzen 9 9950X in gaming potential.
In multi-threaded performance, Intel claims its Core Ultra 9 285K provides 15% higher performance than the last-gen Core i9-14900K and 13% higher performance than AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X.
The new Arrow Lake chips support Sony's new 4K and 8K XAVC codecs, offering substantial improvements in video workflows.

Risk, reward and reality: Has enterprise perception of the public cloud changed?

According to 2024 Statista data, a majority of enterprises are using public clouds, indicating a shift in perception.
Cloud providers are addressing security concerns; however, other concerning issues take place - such as managing cloud spend (82%) and lack of resources (79%).
With the expansion of public cloud usage, the longer term problem for enterprises is doing more work with less repair and maintenance workforce.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is opening new avenues for security compromise leading many companies to remain cautious about AI adoption.
AI comes with a unique concern: if attackers could access shared resources, they could potentially cause inter-departmental chaos.
While cloud-based threats made use of expanded attack surfaces, they remain fundamentally the same as their previous-generation counterparts: If tools didn’t work, it was back to the drawing board for malicious actors.
More enterprises are adopting the public cloud, reporting improved security and fewer companies are citing security as the top cloud challenge.
AI, similarly to cloud computing, has some overstated security concerns, as the market diversifies and standardisation becomes critical, companies can expect common security issues to be effectively resolved.
AI has no limits, making it harder for enterprises to predict the course of its development over time, which is leading to a renewed focus on enterprise cybersecurity risk.
