Microsoft Says You WILL Upgrade.

you came for Tech news so that's what I'll give you if if you also want to hear my Sci-Fi series pits just let me know you know at any point Microsoft has reiterated that it will not budge on including TPM 2. 0 or The Trusted platform module as a hardware requirement for Windows 11 with senior product manager Steven hosing writing in the company's it pro blog that the security feature is non-negotiable unless you're a business business and opt for the iot Enterprise ltsc version of Windows 11 which doesn't require it or if you're following guides from Microsoft themselves as well as others that tell you how to install Windows 11 on an unsupported PC but other than that it's off the table the Double Down comes as Microsoft is ramping up pressure on Windows 10 users to upgrade which for many means upgrading their Hardware too because of the phantom menace requirement different TPM the whole issue is Complicated by the fact that the real requirement keeping some users from upgrading isn't even TPM 2. 0 there are a couple generations of Intel and AMD processors that have that feature but aren't included in the list of supported processors for Windows 11 so what does Microsoft actually want your PC to have to let you upgrade your OS the right Vibe they actually don't even want you to upgrade they just like popping ads up in your face ah got him you're sick Intel finally unveiled their second gen Arc gpus yesterday after busting them out of freshly fired CEO Pat gelsinger's office he was fired because he wouldn't let the company launch them that's not that's not true I'm just looking for a reason that makes sense lonus Tech tips has a full breakdown but the tldr is the ark b580 will launch for 250 bucks on December 13th with the b570 launching at 2 20 bucks on January 16th in a number of colors and flavors thanks to Intel having more board Partners on board this time despite having a power draw on the lower side with the limited edition reference design only sporting a single 8 pin connector Intel says the b580 is 24% faster than the previous gen Arc a750 a higher tier board and delivers 64% better rate tracing performance than an RTX 460 and you might say I don't care about R tracing well Indiana Jones and the great circle just became the first mainstream game to require Hardware Ray tracing support you want to get with the times or have an atypically swashbuckling archaeologist say that you belong in a museum that would not feel good alongside architecture improvements Intel's upgraded their XE super sampling Tech to X SS2 which now has frame generation like nvidia's dlss 3 and amd's FSR 3 along with a low latency feature Intel is leaning hard into its aggressive pricing here saying the battle mage cards have 25% better performance per dollar than Nvidia and amd's 60 tier cards and they've got about a month to convince Gamers that's the case before team red and green start dropping their own nextg gpus Nvidia is heavily expected to announce the RTX 50 Series at CES and amd's own recently released code references both the RX 8800 and RX 8600 look at me you're going to wait for the reviews this time before shooting your mouth off right you can do it stay strong open AI has announced 12 days of open AI which means that starting tomorrow at 10:00 a.
