Alderon Games, an Australian-based developer behind the dinosaur-themed multiplayer survival game Path of Titans, announced “we are swapping all our servers to AMD” because “Intel is selling defective” CPUs — specifically 13th and 14th Gen models.
The post doesn’t mince words; it states that its customers have been reporting thousands of crashes on Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPUs (verified by the game’s crash reporting tools), and its game servers have been “experiencing constant crashes, taking entire servers down.” It also claims that it’s only a matter of time before Core i9-14900K and Core i9-13900K CPUs that have yet to fail will fail.
“Over the last 3 to 4 months, we have observed that CPUs initially working well deteriorate over time, eventually failing,” Matthew Cassells, Founder of Alderon Games, writes. “The failure rate we have observed from our own testing is nearly 100%, indicating it’s only a matter of time before affected CPUs fail.”
Researchers develop methods to dramatically increase light emission from nitrogen-vacancy centers in nanodiamonds, advancing quantum sensing and bioimaging applications.
Physicists at the University of Konstanz have discovered a way to imprint a previously unseen geometrical form of chirality onto electrons using laser light, creating chiral coils of mass and charge.
This breakthrough in manipulating electron chirality has vast implications for quantum optics, particle physics, and electron microscopy, paving the way for new scientific explorations and technological innovations.
Understanding Chirality and Its Implications.
The element actinium was first discovered at the turn of the 20th century, but even now, nearly 125 years later, researchers still don’t have a good grasp on the metal’s chemistry. That’s because actinium is only available in extremely small amounts and working with the radioactive material requires special facilities. But to improve emerging cancer treatments using actinium, researchers will need to better understand how the element binds with other molecules.
In new research, Arizona State University scientists and their colleagues investigated genetic changes occurring in a naturally isolated population of the water flea, Daphnia pulex. This tiny crustacean, barely visible to the naked eye, plays a crucial role in freshwater ecosystems and offers a unique window into natural selection and evolution.
The AI technologies developed will allow autonomous systems, such as drones and self-driving cars, to navigate unexpected variables.
