แม้ตอนนี้จะผ่านมากว่า 20 ปีที่ SEGA ยุติบทบาทในการเป็นผู้พัฒนาเครื่องเล่นเกมคอนโซลเพื่อโฟกัสกับการทำซอฟต์แวร์เกมอย่างเดียว ปาฏิหาริย์ครั้งสุดท้ายอย่าง Dreamcast ก็ยังคงเป็นเครื่องเกมที่อยู่ในใจหลายคนในฐานะผู้บุกเบิกหลายสิ่งหลายอย่างเช่นระบบอินเทอร์เน็ต, การเปิดเจ็นใหม่ และยังเป็นผู้ที่นำเสนอประสบการณ์เกมอาร์เคดทั้งค่าย SNK และ CAPCOM ได้แทบจะสมบูรณ์ 100% ด้วย

A little over a week ago, an AMD patent titled Distributed Geometry was published by the US Patent Office, the patent itself was filed by AMD in April this year. The patent details a fully chiplet approach to GPUs, where the rendering workload is distributed across a collection of chips, rather than having one massive die handling all of the processing. There’s no indication that we’ll see this employed in a Radeon graphics card any time soon, of course, but it’s the natural evolution of what we’ve already seen in RDNA 3.

I picked up news of the patent from YouTube channel RedGamingTech and it’s a fascinating read. Although the document is titled ‘Distributed Geometry’, it’s really about distributed rendering. Take AMD’s current Navi 31 GPU, its largest graphics processor as used in the Radeon RX 7900 series. That does use chiplets but these only contain two VRAM interfaces and a slice of L3 Infinity Cache; the rest of the GPU resides in a single block (called the GCD, graphics compute die).

As with all GPUs, there is a central workload processor that sends out rendering tasks to one of the many blocks of shaders within the chip. Each unit is given a piece of geometr…

The domestic violence lawsuit against Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland has been dropped, Polygon reports. Roiland—who also created 2022 Game Pass hit High On Life—was charged with felony domestic violence and false imprisonment after a criminal complaint in May 2020, but those charges didn’t come to light until they were unearthed by NBC News in January this year.

An Orange Country district attorney spokesperson tells PC Gamer that that the DA’s office “dismissed the charges yesterday as a result of insufficient evidence to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt”.

In a tweet titled “Justice,” Roiland wrote that he “never had any doubt this day would come,” writing that he was “thankful” for the case’s dismissal but “deeply shaken by the horrible lies that were reported about me during this process,” and disappointed that “so many people were so quick to judge without knowing the facts, based solely on the word of an embittered ex trying to bypass due process and have me ‘canceled'”. 

Roiland was arrested in August 2020, three months after the criminal complaint in May, before being released on a $50,000 bail bond. He pleaded not guilt…
