Panther Lake Puts Intel Back on Top, Outspeeding Apple's M5 in Laptops

WIRED tests two Panther Lake laptops—MSI Prestige 14 Flip with Core Ultra X7 358H and a 16‑inch Lenovo reference with Core Ultra X9 388H—finding Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 delivers its biggest laptop win in years: the X9 outperforms Apple's M5 by about 33% in multi‑core workloads, XeSS upscaling boosts gaming, and battery life can reach around 22 hours on thin‑and‑light systems. Still, single‑core performance lags Apple, and gaming performance in some titles trails RTX 4050, but Panther Lake marks a meaningful step forward built on Intel 18A manufacturing in Arizona with CHIPS Act backing.

"AMD's Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora PC Specs Embrace FSR3, DLSS, and XeSS"

Ubisoft's upcoming game, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, will support all major upscaling technologies, including AMD FSR3, Intel XeSS, and NVIDIA DLSS2. The game will also feature ray-traced reflections and shadows, compatibility with ultrawide resolutions and high-resolution multi-monitor setups, and optimization for multicore systems. The PC requirements include a minimum of Radeon RX 5700 or GTX 1070 graphics for 1080p gameplay at 30 FPS, while 4K gameplay will require a high-end CPU like Ryzen 7 5800X3D or i7-12700K, along with RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX graphics. Integrated benchmarks will be available to assess GPU compatibility.

Starfield's PC Launch Raises Concerns Over Missing DLSS and XeSS Technologies

Starfield, the highly anticipated game from Bethesda, will reportedly launch without support for NVIDIA DLSS or Intel XeSS upscaling technologies. The absence of these features was discovered by users who examined the game's pre-load files. While there is a possibility that Bethesda may add support for DLSS or XeSS in a future patch, it seems unlikely at this point. Additionally, the file sizes for Starfield on PC and Xbox Series X have been revealed, with the PC version requiring 139.8 GB of disk space and the Xbox Series X version needing 126.1 GB.

"Remnant II Devs Prioritize Upscaling Technologies for Smooth Gameplay"

The developers of Remnant II, Gunfire Games, have acknowledged that the PC port of the game heavily relies on upscaling technologies such as DLSS, FSR, and XeSS for optimal performance. The game, powered by Unreal Engine 5, does not fully utilize the engine's capabilities and may consider adding features like Lumen in the future. Players are advised to use the recommended upscaling settings for smoother gameplay, and the developers have promised performance updates post-launch. However, some players have reported poor performance and issues like "Out of Video Memory" on high-end systems. The reliance on upscaling techniques has raised concerns about the lack of optimization in the PC port.

"AMD's Starfield Deal: Implications for DLSS and XeSS Upscaling"

There are concerns that AMD's exclusive partnership with Bethesda Game Studios for Starfield may block rival upscaling technologies, such as Nvidia's DLSS and Intel's XeSS, from being integrated into the game. While AMD has not denied these claims, Nvidia has stated that it does not block competitor technologies. The situation is more nuanced than initially reported, with some games not integrating DLSS due to developer policies or technical limitations. However, the lack of transparency from AMD and Bethesda has led to negative feedback and calls for greater disclosure in sponsorship deals. Ultimately, the focus should be on producing better, more competitive products rather than blocking rival technologies.

AMD's Exclusive Partnership for Starfield Sparks Backlash from PC Gamers.

Bethesda's exclusive PC partnership with AMD for Starfield has caused concern among PC gamers over potential stuttering issues and lack of support for competing features like DLSS and XeSS. The announcement was light on specifics, leading to assumptions that only AMD's FSR upscaling tool will be supported. Fans are calling for support for all upscaling tools and criticizing the anti-consumer nature of exclusive deals.

"Intel XeSS and Cyberpunk 2077 RT Overdrive: Game-Changing Performance and Graphics"

Intel's XeSS upscaling technology outperforms AMD FSR 2 in Cyberpunk 2077 and almost matches NVIDIA DLSS 3 in image quality. A benchmarking YouTuber compared the three upscaling technologies and found that XeSS 1.1 was very close to DLSS 3.1 in terms of image quality, while AMD's FSR 2.1 implementation in Cyberpunk 2077 quality mode showed much visual artifacting and shimmering. Although XeSS has yet to see similar traction as NVIDIA's DLSS and AMD's FSR, Intel's GPU division is pushing for better support and optimized drivers since the launch of Arc graphics cards.

"Intel XeSS boosts Cyberpunk 2077 performance by over 70% on Arc GPUs"

Intel's XeSS technology, an AI-based super-sampling technique, has been implemented in Cyberpunk 2077, resulting in a significant performance boost of up to 71% on Intel Arc GPUs. The technology reconstructs a low-resolution non-antialiased frame into a high-resolution fully-antialiased frame, improving image quality and performance. XeSS is a cost-friendly option for users looking for a boost in quality and performance, especially in games such as Cyberpunk 2077.
