One out of every five PCs shipped in the third quarter of 2024, a total of 13.3 million units, was a PC with a neural processing unit (NPU) fine-tuned for generative AI (genAI) development, according to data published Wednesday by analyst firm Canalys. It is anticipating a rapid rise in shipments of these AI-capable PCs,…
The Halo series is as well known for its epic campaign missions as it is for its awesome selection of multiplayer maps. For well over two decades, both Bungie and 343 Industries have crafted unforgettable campaign experiences, which are (mostly) centered around the story of the Master Chief.
