The ongoing trial between Microsoft, the FTC, and Sony is progressing. Thanks to the presented documentation, we have discovered that the PS5 Slim is not only real but will also be released before the end of this year. Its price is expected to be $399.99, which, when converted to euros and after applying taxes, could amount to €449.99.

This information was summarized in one of the documents, where it stated:

“PlayStation also offers a more affordable digital edition priced at $399.99. Additionally, a PlayStation 5 Slim is expected to be released later this year at the same reduced price.”

Since this information originates from Microsoft, it is considered quite reliable. However, as it is not confirmed by Sony, it is possible that some changes may occur regarding the price or the release date. Nevertheless, any potential changes are expected to be minor, and the information aligns with what we had previously seen.

What can we expect from the PS5 Slim at that price?

If Sony releases the PS5 Slim at a price of €449.99, we would enjoy a €100 discount compared to the current price of the version with an optical drive. However, if we compare it to the launch price of the console, the discount would only be €50. Ultimately, it’s a “win-win” situation for Sony. After their decision to raise the price of the PS5, they now have more flexibility to maximize profit margins with the Slim model.

We published a special article about the PS5 Slim approximately a year ago, detailing our expectations for the console. That information remains valid and up-to-date. However, there are a few details worth revisiting and explaining further, which is precisely what we aim to do in this article.

Just as powerful, but more efficient

The PS5 Slim will be equally as powerful as the standard console, so we shouldn’t anticipate any performance improvements or reductions. In general terms, the console will be on par with the standard PS5. However, this model will be more efficient in terms of both thermal management and energy consumption. It will generate less heat and require less power to operate.

The enhanced efficiency and reduced power consumption of the PS5 Slim will be made possible by transitioning the APU (CPU and GPU) to the TSMC 5nm node. This is the same advanced technology utilized by AMD in their Zen 4 processors and Radeon RX 7000 series. However, at the architectural level, the PS5 Slim will still employ a Zen 2 CPU and maintain the same Radeon GPU with 2,304 shaders as the original console.

Will the PS5 Slim have the same amount of unified memory and more storage?

At the architecture level, we can expect no improvements, which is a given. There won’t be any changes to the unified memory configuration either, which will remain at 16 GB of GDDR6. However, we might see changes in the storage capacity rather than its performance.

The PS5 comes with an SSD unit of 825 GB, but with approximately 660 GB available for the user, the space for storing favorite games is quite limited. Sony could leverage the launch of the PS5 Slim to include a 1 TB SSD, expanding the total capacity.

Regardless of the storage situation, Sony stands to benefit from the price of the PS5 Slim.

There is a simple reason behind this. Sony has been refining and streamlining the internal construction of its console, leading to reduced manufacturing costs. By making the PS5 production process more cost-effective and raising the price of the PS5, Sony has maximized revenue per unit sold in a way that was unprecedented in previous generations.

This has an additional advantage: Sony now has more flexibility when it comes to setting the price of the PS5 Slim. The console, priced at €449.99, would be tremendously profitable for the Japanese company. Considering that this version will be cheaper to produce than the original PS5 and won’t require as powerful a cooling system due to the transition to the 5nm node, Sony is well-positioned.

However, it remains to be seen whether the rumors about the PS5 Slim featuring a removable optical drive are true. There is no definitive information on this matter, and I personally have some doubts. Nonetheless, it would make sense as it would allow Sony to unify its two current versions into one.

BeReal is becoming more like TikTok, while TikTok is getting rid of a feature that was originally copied from BeReal.

Goodbye to TikTok Now, a feature on the popular social platform that was inspired by BeReal. BeReal is an app that gained a lot of popularity in early 2022. The main idea behind BeReal is that you can only post one photo per day, and only at a specific time.

However, TikTok’s copied feature, Now, is going to be discontinued. This information was noticed by social media expert Matt Navarra, as reported by BGR. However, the previous posts will still be available. You can access them by selecting the Private tab option in the Profile menu.

According to BGR, there is an interesting observation regarding TikTok and BeReal. TikTok is distancing itself from BeReal by removing a particular function, while BeReal has been increasingly resembling TikTok (and Instagram). In recent times, BeReal has introduced several new features that indicate this shift, including a new news feed. This news feed only displays posts from famous individuals like top athletes, artists, and activists.

Thanks to the efforts of an international research group, it is anticipated that a new type of Internet cable capable of transmitting 1.7 petabits of data per second will be put into use within this decade.

A team of engineers from Australia’s Macquarie University and Japan’s NICT (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology) spearheaded an international research endeavor that achieved a significant breakthrough in data transmission speed. As reported by Interesting Engineering, the scientists utilized an optical cable to transmit 1.7 petabits of data across a distance of 67 kilometers.

While not currently the fastest in the world (a speed of 1.84 Pbit/s was recently accomplished), this development can contribute to ensuring seamless internet access despite the ever-growing demands of data traffic.

Fiber optic cables, which are no thicker than a human hair, are capable of handling a substantial portion of global internet traffic. The first of these cables was laid deep in the Atlantic Ocean in 1988: TAT8, with a capacity of only 20 megabits, played a pivotal role in the advancement of the worldwide web.

Over three decades later, the Grace Hopper cable was installed, boasting a capacity of 22 terabits, millions of times greater than that of TAT8. However, current optical cables can still reach their maximum capacity, partially due to the popularity of various streaming services. Consequently, scientists are diligently working towards finding ways to increase the amount of data transmission.

Italian, Australian, Japanese, and Dutch scientists explored various possibilities during their investigation. One option considered was increasing the thickness of the threads, but this would have made them more fragile due to the additional weight. Another alternative was to use more fibers in the cable, but this would have resulted in higher operational costs.

Ultimately, they settled on a design that allows the cable to transmit data through 19 cores while still complying with international standards. This design ensures that no infrastructure changes would be necessary to implement it.

The novel solution was developed using 3D printing, which offers significant cost efficiency during subsequent production. The test phase was successful, and there are plans to have these cables, installed in the depths of the sea, integrated into the global network within the next five to ten years.

Intel has confirmed previous reports that their upcoming processors will be given a new name. This means that in the future, Intel CPUs will no longer be referred to as i3, i5, i7, and i9 as they have been in the past.

The change in naming practice will begin with the next generation of processors, known as Meteor Lake. Instead of using the previous naming scheme, the processors will be labeled as Core 3, Core 5, Core 7, and Core 9.

Intel stated that the new names are a response to user feedback, but they did not provide specific details about what prompted the change.

According to a report by Engadget, high-end processors will now receive an additional “Ultra” designation in front of their name. This means that, for example, a processor may be named Intel Core Ultra 9. The generation designations will still be included after the name, and a higher number will indicate a faster CPU.

The changes in naming will be reflected in all aspects, including the stickers that indicate the processors. However, the exact timing of Intel’s presentation for the Meteor Lake series processors is not currently known. There are suggestions that it could potentially occur sometime this year.

Italian researchers have discovered the presence of many Greek tombs underneath the streets of Naples with the help of cosmic radiation. The content of the newly discovered chamber remains a mystery.

Using cosmic radiation and lasers, scientists from the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Sezione di Napoli were able to detect traces of an ancient settlement believed to be approximately 2,500 years old. The structures were originally constructed by the Greeks and were once part of the Christian catacombs during the Roman era.

The area, now known as Naples, was originally called Cumae and was renamed Neapolis around 650 BC. It was once home to several churches, forums, and numerous underground tombs. Scientists have long suspected that Greek tombs lay beneath the streets of Naples, but no evidence had been found until now.

Although only a small part of the archaeological treasures is accessible through underground structures such as reservoirs built since the 16th century or shelters built during the Second World War, the scientists noted the importance of this discovery.

The study revealed that the site comprises the hypogeum, which was the burial ground for wealthy individuals, dating back to the Greek Hellenistic era (6th-3rd century BC), as well as graves from the subsequent Roman period (2nd-4th century AD). These tombs are situated nearly 10 meters beneath the streets, making them rather challenging to locate. However, with the aid of muography, archaeologists were able to recognize the burial sites without the need for extensive excavation.

Muon is a subatomic particle, which is considered as one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. It is heavier than an electron and is generated when cosmic rays interact with atoms in the atmosphere. Muons have the ability to penetrate through hard materials such as rocks and walls, which allows specialists to create a 3D image of a specific object. This technology is also used by researchers while excavating Egyptian pyramids.

By utilizing muography, researchers were able to uncover a concealed chamber under Naples, although they were unable to determine its contents.
