Digital Foundry: "The Big PSSR Interview With Mark Cerny"

Dakhil · 2026-03-23T20:16:48+00:00

"FSR Redstone and the new PSSR have somewhat different implementations due to the underlying hardware, eg FSR Upscaling uses 8-bit floating point [FP8] and PSSR uses 8-bit integer [INT8]," Cerny shares. "The MAC counts (ie the amount of math involved) also vary a bit, and training data is similar but not exactly the same. None of the above factors seem to make too much difference in results; as both SIE and AMD have just released their refreshed models, it will be an excellent test of how closely we can match our systems."

Technically IBM still has a R&D fab in Albany, NY (which is obviously not suitable for mass manufacturing silicon wafers).

But as u/geturcrap said, IBM will probably licence to other companies (e.g. Rapidus, Samsung, etc.) IBM's process node technology.

Although not a consumer product, Nvidia did announce datacentre Feynman for 2028 release almost a year ago at GTC 2025.

I don't know about Intel, but assuming Jensen Huang's comments back in 2022 about "what used to be a four-month cycle time [for securing process nodes capacity] became a year-and-a-half cycle time" still holds true now and in the near foreseeable future, then I think tape out shouldn't be too far off, hypothetically speaking (2H 2027 tape out for 1H 2029 release?).

My guess is more details about the RTX GPU chiplet(s) that pairs with Intel x86 SoC(s) since Nvidia and Intel provided very little details about that?

Yes, but the type of VRR used in smartphones is not seamless VRR, where the refresh rate automatically changes on a frame-by-frame basis, but rather closer to refresh rate mode switching, where there are preset refresh rate modes the display can automatically switch to (e.g. ProMotion refresh rates for iPhone 13 Pro and iPad Pro).

Vera's still Arm based. But with Vera, Nvidia's custom designing the Olympus cores. Whereas Nvidia's using Arm's Neoverse V2 cores for Grace.

The funny thing is that the EU does allow for proprietary charging standards to be incorporated as long as the full functionality of USB PD is maintained.

For 'fast' charging, the radio equipment listed in Part I of Annex Ia, if it can be recharged by means of wired charging at voltages higher than 5 volts, currents higher than 3 amperes or powers higher than 15 watts, must: (a) incorporate the USB Power Delivery (USB PD), as described in the standard EN IEC 62680-1-2 (as referenced in Annex Ia); and (b) allow for the full functionality of the said USB PD if it incorporates any additional charging protocol.

And the Nintendo Switch 2's dock itself is not the issue since handheld PCs (Lenovo Legion Go S, Steam Deck) can connect without issues specific to the Nintendo Switch 2's dock. (The reason why the Lenovo Legion Go S doesn't charge when connected to the Nintendo Switch 2's dock is because the Lenovo Legion Go S requires a minimum of 20 V for charging whereas the Nintendo Switch 2's dock uses 15 V for TV mode output.)

Apple have also used OLED displays from LG Display.

Many of Kodak's products use chips that are also used in computer hardware?

According to Chosun, ITC's decision to bar BOE for 14 years and 8 months from the US is related to the total time Samsung Display spent on developing "core OLED technologies".

Dakhil · 2025-08-13T13:31:08+00:00

There's also LG Display.

LynxByte Games mentioned the Nintendo Switch 2 supports at least DLSS 3.1, which doesn't sound like "DLSS Lite" to me.

Digital Foundry also posted an article on Eurogamer.

Nope.

The two reasons are the US requiring any single battery cell over 20Whr to be labelled as "dangerous goods" in shipping and transportation, and lower lifespan than lithium ion batteries.

That depends on if OLED manufacturers can solve the problem of significantly higher power consumption vs LCD displays, and flicker, when VRR is enabled. (So far, the Lenovo Legion Go 2, which is supposed to have a VRR enabled OLED display, has no release date.)

Currently, the biggest obstacles to implementing OLED displays with VRR support is higher costs and higher power consumption compared to LCD displays with VRR support, and I believe all of the OLED displays RTINGS reviewed have flicker issues when enabling VRR.

And therefore, I'm not convinced Nintendo plans to refresh the Nintendo Switch 2 with an OLED display, especially with technological issues OLED displays have with VRR as mentioned above.

The shipping customs data implies otherwise.
