La lentezza disperata di Windows 1.0 ci fa sorridere oggi, ma nel 1985 era il futuro. Mentre i Duran Duran dominavano le classifiche, Microsoft osava sognare un'interfaccia grafica accessibile a tutti. Troppo lento, troppo esigente... eppure conteneva già i semi del trend che avrebbe dominato i successivi 40 anni di computing. Quante chicche oggi per la rubrica "Il futuro di ieri" :)

Game developers will get a better revenue share from Samsung.

The company is planning to offer Galaxy Store developers an 80 / 20 revenue share on games beginning May 15th. Currently, it’s 70 / 30. According to Seline Sangsook Han, Samsung EVP of Mobile Service Business:

“The new 80/20 revenue share model will apply to all paid games, apps and in-app purchases generated and received through Galaxy Store. For subscription services and in-app purchases made through these services, the revenue share model will be 85/15.”

Nvidia claims it sold more RTX 50-series GPUs than you might think.

Nvidia is revealing today that it has sold more RTX 50-series GPUs than 40-series during the first five weeks of launch. While we don’t have exact figures, Nvidia has supplied a chart that claims it has shipped 2x in that same amount of time. It’s also showing that more than 90 percent of RTX 50-series owners turn on DLSS, up from the overall 80 percent of all RTX owners that enable the upscaling technology.

Twenty years later, Half-Life 2 is a top tech demo again.

On March 18th, Nvidia will release a two-hour demo for Half-Life 2 owners, showing what its RTX 50 cards can do: full ray tracing, subsurface scattering for translucent skin, volumetric light through fog and smoke, physically-based materials, and Nvidia’s new neural shaders — which are also coming to DirectX for other developers in April.

Half-Life 2 RTX Remix isn’t for weak rigs. Even an RTX 5090 / Ryzen 9800X3D system might get under 30fps at 4K before applying DLSS 4. With it, Nvidia suggests an RTX 5070 might be enough for a 1440p tour.
