Inference is the next area of focus for compute providers, and after the NVIDIA-Groq partnership, the AI industry has realized it needs far more than just GPUs. This has led to a new pair emerging: Intel and SambaNova. Intel's Xeon 6 CPUs Will Act as the Host For Agentic Systems, Backed By SambaNova's SN50 Chip For Decode At this year's GTC, we saw NVIDIA talking about disaggregated inference, and how it has become important for them as a manufacturer to shift from their 'GPU-only' mentality, and instead bring in a relatively newer form of compute units into the infrastructure race.

Being a live-service hero shooter, Blizzard’s Overwatch is relatively light on story, with external video shorts and animations being produced in order to fill out the IP’s world and narrative. That said, one of the biggest complaints with the release of Overwatch 2 was the broken promises made regarding the addition of story campaign-styled missions. While these original plans may never come to be, Blizzard has offered an olive branch to fans of Overwatch’s world, confirming that they are releasing a 40-part ‘Undivided' Webtoon comic.
In an exclusive report by the publication VICE, Blizzard officially announced a surprise addition coming to the world of Overwatch, with a 40-part Webtoon series currently being developed. Titled ‘Overwatch: Undivided’ the first 3 chapters of the story are available right now to read HERE (with parts 4-8 arriving early via Webtoon’s Fast Pass).
Featuring a pleasing art style and vibrant visuals, Undivided looks to be a direct response to fans who wish for more lore and story, with the synopsis reading as follows:
“In the aftermath of Talon’s strike on Watchpoint: Gibraltar, the heroes of Overwatch take in their devastating defeat. But Vendetta is far from finished, launching attacks around the world on research facilities, military bases, and major cities. As Sojourn rallies the weary heroes to face Talon wherever they strike, she receives crushing news that calls everything she’s stood for into question: When the world says it doesn’t need heroes, can Overwatch still stand, undivided?”
While not the in-game narrative experience which many fans have been asking for, Overwatch: Undivided is a major step forward in this regard. It will be interesting to see how players respond.
KitGuru says: Have you wanted Overwatch to feature more story content? Are you content with this latest announcement? Let us know down below.

Razer has chosen the GDC 2026 stage to reveal a comprehensive suite of AI-powered tools designed to transform how games are developed and experienced. With the gaming market projected to hit $206.5 billion by 2028, Razer's “Future of Play” showcase highlights a shift toward “agentic” development, using AI not just to generate assets but to manage complex workflows, automate quality assurance, and drive multi-sensory immersion.
Starting with Ava, what started as a 3D hologram desk companion at CES 2026 has evolved into an AI agent. Razer Ava has transitioned from a reactive chatbot to a proactive assistant capable of understanding user intent and executing multi-step workflows across various apps and services. This is powered by the new Razer Inference Control Plane, which routes tasks between local and cloud models to maintain low latency. AVA can now interface with third-party apps like Spotify and coordinate with other AVA units to handle scheduling or meeting proposals. By managing the setup and coordination, Razer positions Ava as a tool for developers and casual gamers. Beta sign-ups for Razer AVA are currently open via Razer Cortex, with early access invitations expected to begin rolling out in the second quarter of 2026.
Razer is also addressing quality assurance processes with its updated QA Companion-AI. The main feature of this 2026 update is its “zero-integration” deployment, meaning it requires no SDKs or code changes to function. It operates through a vision-based system that analyses gameplay footage to detect rendering, physics, and animation bugs. Beyond simple detection, the tool can now generate functional and negative test cases directly from developer prompts or game design documents. Autonomous gameplay agents are also in development to execute these test cases and provide pass/fail summaries without scripting. By automating the reproduction steps and reporting, Razer aims to accelerate the QA cycle for studios of all sizes.
Rounding out is the Razer Adaptive Immersive Experience, a new runtime that unifies haptics, lighting, and audio into the WYVRN developer ecosystem. This system is designed to reduce the time developers spend tuning sensory effects to as little as three days by providing a plug-and-play library compatible with Unity and Unreal Engine. The system uses “Dynamic Haptics” to blend designer-authored effects with real-time “Audio-to-Haptics” (A2H) conversion. This allows the game to provide a consistent ambient baseline of tactile feedback even in moments where developers haven't manually scripted an effect. Built on the foundation of Razer Sensa HD Haptics, Razer Chroma RGB, and THX Spatial Audio+, the runtime intelligently adapts to in-game signals without overriding the studio's creative intent. This immersive layer will begin its phased rollout in the first quarter of 2026.
KitGuru says: Have you ever thought Razer would get into the developer market segment? What do you think of this new venture for the company?
Today is officially the start of Game Developers Conference 2026 (GDC 2026), a week where a huge portion of the video game industry joins together in San Francisco to discuss the latest happenings within the video game industry, and in the case of companies like Razer, showcase the B2B-focused initiatives it has coming down the pipeline. After first unveiling its AI QA companion tool and its Project AVA AI companion in 2025, Razer showcased both products at GDC 2026, with Project AVA now simply called Razer AVA, which it describes as "a more capable agentic assistant with the ability to […]
Acer has expanded its Nitro display family with the Nitro ED340CUR W0bmiipx, a 34-inch ultrawide monitor designed to bring high-refresh-rate gaming to the value-conscious segment.This model pairs a 1500R curved VA panel with a 3440 x 1440 (UWQHD) resolution, offering the expansive field of view that has become a staple for simulation fans and multitasking professionals alike.
Featuring a 240 Hz refresh rate, the ED340CUR W0 (via DisplaySpecifications) brings a significant jump over previous iterations of the ED340 series, which typically maxed out at 165/180Hz. This, combined with AMD FreeSync Premium support, ensures fluid motion and reduced screen tearing in fast-paced titles. The panel uses an 8-bit + FRC (Frame Rate Control) method to achieve 10-bit colour depth, covering 99% of the sRGB colour space. As is typical of VA technology, the monitor boasts a high 3000:1 static contrast ratio. However, its peak brightness is rated at a modest 250 nits, making its HDR10 support more of a baseline compatibility feature than a transformative visual experience.
The monitor follows Acer's streamlined “ZeroFrame” aesthetic, maximising screen real estate by minimising bezel width. The included stand is tilt-only, which is a common trade-off in the budget category. However, the unit is fully compatible with 100 x 100 mm VESA mounts for those who require height or swivel adjustment. Connectivity options include dual HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, and integrated 2W speakers for basic audio.
Additionally, Acer has packed the display with its VisionCare suite, including Blue Light Shield Pro, flicker-free technology, and a low-dimming feature. These additions, combined with the “Super Sharpness” processing, position the ED340CUR W0 as a versatile tool for both competitive gaming and general office productivity. The monitor is now available for $349.99.
KitGuru says: It's impressive to see 240Hz in a 34-inch UWQHD monitor at this price point. For gamers coming from older 60Hz panels, the move to 240Hz on a curved 34-inch panel is one of the most cost-effective ways to fundamentally change how your gaming setup feels in 2026, assuming your system can support such a refresh rate.
Intel's SambaNova acquisition was seen as a way to spearhead the company's AI strategy in inference, but it appears Team Blue has settled for much less. Intel's CEO Now Intends to Invest Directly in SambaNova's Funding Round After Previously Backing It Through Walden Capital When we talk about Intel, the company is one of the only compute providers that hasn't managed to capitalize on the AI frenzy at all, and this has been a persistent problem for several quarters. Intel's former CEO, Pat Gelsinger, has acknowledged the lack of intent in AI, and it appears that missing out on the […]
In a market often dominated by tempered glass and mesh, Tryx has launched the Flova F50, a mid-tower ATX chassis that prioritises a contemporary aesthetic through fabric. Covering the entire front panel and the lower-left section of the case, the thick fabric gives the F50 a premium “lifestyle” feel, available in black, white, and pink. However, because the fabric is too dense for traditional front-to-back airflow, Tryx has engineered a radical cooling solution that promises to keep high-end hardware running cool.
The centrepiece of the Flova F50's internal design is the cross-flow radial fan. Standing 250 mm tall and 50 mm in diameter, this specialised turbine draws air from the side of the case and directs it horizontally across the motherboard and graphics card. This approach replaces the standard front intake fans, allowing the chassis to maintain its uninterrupted fabric exterior while still achieving thermal efficiency.
Despite its focus on design, the FLOVA F50 remains highly capable in terms of modern hardware compatibility. It supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and ITX motherboards, with full compatibility for BTF (Back-to-the-Front) and PZ (Project Zero) hidden-connector motherboards. It also has enough space for most graphics cards, accommodating GPUs up to 360 mm with the cross-flow fan installed, or up to 420 mm without it. Lastly, for cooling and PSU clearance, it supports CPU air coolers up to 170 mm in height and power supplies up to 200 mm.
Starting at £129.95, the Tryx Flova F50 is positioned as a premium alternative for builders who want a PC that looks more like high-end furniture than a traditional gaming rig.
KitGuru says: Tryx is clearly targeting the “minimalist desk setup” crowd that has been flocking to cases like the Fractal North or Terra. While using fabric as a primary material raises questions about long-term dust maintenance, the inclusion of the 250 mm cross-flow fan shows that Tryx isn't just focused on looks. It's actually trying to offer a solution that looks great without major sacrifices.
Corsair has officially introduced two new limited-edition PC cases under its FRAME 4000D Nova and Galaxy series, these new models focus on clean design, smooth colour effects, and strong airflow support for modern PC builds.
The main highlight of these cases is their special paint finish. The Nova version slowly changes colour between blue, teal, and purple depending on the light and viewing angle. The Galaxy model shifts between pink, green, and grey tones. These effects are soft and elegant, giving the cases a premium look without being too flashy.
Both models are based on the FRAME 4000D design but come with added improvements. A full tempered-glass side panel lets users clearly show their PC parts. The power supply shroud is more compact, leaving space at the bottom for an extra 120 mm fan to improve cooling. Each case also includes a numbered aluminium badge on the top, showing it belongs to a limited-edition series.
Corsair has upgraded the front panel to make daily use easier. The new I/O layout includes three USB Type-C ports. One supports fast speeds up to 20 Gbps, while the other two run at 5 Gbps. A standard audio jack is also included. The power button features built-in lighting and uses a mechanical switch, giving a solid click feel. Users can replace the switch if they prefer a different touch.
Cooling flexibility remains a key strength. The FRAME 4000D Nova series uses Corsair’s InfiniRail fan mounting system, allowing fans to be placed in many positions. The case supports large fans, including up to 200 mm at the front and 140 mm at the top. It also supports dual 360 mm radiators, making it suitable for powerful gaming or work systems. In total, up to 13 standard 120 mm fans can be installed.
Inside the case, a GPU support arm is included to prevent graphics cards from bending over time. The internal side panel can be used to hide cables for a clean look or removed to install extra fans. Storage support includes trays for one 3.5-inch hard drive or two 2.5-inch SSDs. These trays can be removed if users want more space or plan custom cooling.
The cases are also ready for iCUE LINK setups. Cable hooks, tie points, and a dedicated mounting spot for the iCUE LINK System Hub are built in, helping users keep cables neat and organised.
Corsair FRAME 4000D Nova and Galaxy cases availability
The limited-edition FRAME 4000D Nova and Galaxy cases are available now through Corsair and its authorised sellers. They are sold without pre-installed fans, giving users full control over their cooling choices. Corsair is offering a two-year warranty along with global customer support.
CORSAIR has added two limited‑edition models to its FRAME 4000D lineup, introducing the Vault Series Nova and Galaxy cases with unique colour‑shift finishes. Nova moves from blue to teal to purple depending on the angle, while Galaxy transitions from pink to green to grey.
Both editions build on the FRAME 4000D chassis and include a compact PSU shroud that leaves room for a 120mm floor fan, a full tempered‑glass side panel, and an upgraded front I/O layout. The updated panel offers three USB‑C ports, with one being an ultra-fast 20Gbps port, while the remaining two offer 5Gbps bandwidth. There is also a 3.5mm audio jack and an ARGB‑lit power button using an MX‑style green mechanical switch.
As part of the FRAME Modular Case System, the Vault Series supports extensive customisation, including panel swaps, component upgrades, and alternative cooling layouts. The InfiniRail fan‑mounting system allows flexible positioning and supports up to 200mm front fans and 140mm fans in the roof. The chassis accommodates dual 360mm radiators and up to 13x120mm fans, with a GPU anti‑sag arm included to support modern graphics cards. The internal side panel can act as a cable cover or be removed to mount additional fans.
Storage options include removable trays for one 3.5‑inch drive or two 2.5‑inch SSDs, and the case integrates cable hooks, tie‑downs, and a mounting pocket for the iCUE LINK System Hub to simplify cable routing. Unfortunately, neither version of the case ships with any pre-installed fans, so you'll need to have some extra budget left over to acquire some.
