The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X is a solid CPU for gaming and rendering, but its high price and lack of significant improvements over the previous generation make it a less desirable option. The CPU features 12 cores, 24 threads, and a 5.6 GHz clock speed, but its performance is not substantially better than its predecessor, the Ryzen 9 7900X. The 9900X is also more expensive than Intel's Core Ultra 7 265K, which offers similar performance at a lower price point. Additionally, AMD's X3D lineup offers better gaming performance at a similar price. The CPU's power draw is also higher than Intel's counterpart, especially in gaming workloads. Overall, the Ryzen 9 9900X is not a bad CPU, but its pricing and lack of significant improvements make it a less attractive option in the current market.

A prototype build of Duke Nukem: D-Day, a previously lost game, has been leaked onto the Internet Archive. The 2001 build features 12 playable levels and is reportedly 90% complete, although it lacks cutscenes, voicework, and polish. The game follows Duke Nukem as he travels back in time to battle Nazis and aliens on the beaches of Normandy. The controls feel outdated, with the left stick turning and running, and shoulder buttons strafing. The game can be played on a PS2 or with an emulator like PCSX2, but it requires debug tools to access all levels. The uploader hopes that a more finished version of the game will be discovered in the future.

Ampere Analysis forecasts the Nintendo Switch 2 to sell 13 million units in 2025, 25.5 million in 2026, and 104.3 million by 2030. The console's initial sales will be high due to existing Switch users, but sales will slow down by 2030 due to US tariffs and lack of a pandemic-driven surge. The Switch 2 is not expected to face significant competition from other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck and PlayStation Portal. Ampere Analysis also predicts that Switch 2 software will represent a $7-8 billion market over the next two years, growing to $10 billion in 2028, with strong third-party content and exclusive titles like The Duskbloods. Additionally, the firm identifies an "untapped opportunity" for Nintendo to utilize in-game monetization on its platforms, potentially doubling its share of the console market to 10% by 2027.

The updates include visionOS 26 for Vision Pro, iOS 26 for iPhone, macOS Tahoe for Mac, watchOS 26 for Apple Watch, and iPadOS 26 for iPad. The article also mentions a new Mac Pro with an M4 Ultra chip, which is claimed to be 75 times as fast at general processing and 120 times as fast at graphical tasks compared to the Intel Core i9.
