PS5 Loading Time Demo Reportedly Revealed - IGN

See the power of the PlayStation 5.

By Adam Bankhurst

A new video posted by Wall Street Journal's Takashi Mochizuki may have given us our first look at the potential power of the PlayStation 5.

Mochizuki Tweeted out the video, saying this was "Sony's official video comparing performance of PS4 Pro vs next-gen PlayStation."

The video compares the loading times and performance of Marvel's Spider-Man between a PS4 Pro and the potentially named PS5, and it is nearly identical to the description given in Wired's interview with PS5 lead architect Mark Cerny that revealed the first details of the next-generation PlayStation.

While the quality isn't great and it appears to have been recorded on a phone or similar device, Mochizuki has a long history of insider information in the video game industry and this falls very much in line with that Wired interview.

It's important to note the PlayStation 5 or PS5 were never mentioned in the video, and only the words "Next Generation (Under Development)" were used to differentiate between the old and new hardware.

Mochizuki further translated what was being spoken in Japanese, with phrases such as "to ensure PlayStation will remain as the best place to play, SIE to work on keeping and improving relationships with outside game developers," and "in explaining PlayStation's seamless feature, the company used the phrase "anytime, anywhere, without disconnections"" being said.

Google Launches New $999 Glass 2 for Enterprise Customers - Thurrott.com

Posted: 20 May 2019 10:26 AM PDT

Alphabet's X moonshot factory has been working on the second-generation of the Glass Enterprise Edition for the past 2 years. Today, the team is joining Google, launching the new Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2.

The team's new Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2 (I'll just refer to it as Google Glass from now) comes at $999 and is strictly meant for enterprise customers. Much like Microsoft's HoloLens, Google isn't making this for regular consumers and it's more fit for businesses.

The new Glass runs on Android and comes with Android Enterprise Mobile Device Management support, which will make it easier for businesses to manage their Glass 2 devices. And since it's based on Android, companies will also be able to integrate their services much quicker than before.

On the surface, the new Glass device doesn't look much different from the original Enterprise Edition. The design of the device is almost identical, but Google has swapped out the chip on the inside and the new Glass 2 is now build on Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR1 platform. That means the new device packs a "significantly more powerful" multi-core CPU, as well as an integrated AI engine, that allows for power savings, improved performance, support for computer vision, and advanced machine learning capabilities.

The new Glass 2 features improved camera performance and quality as well, and a USB-C port with fast charging support. The device also comes with increased overall battery life, according to Google.

Google is also partnering with Smith Optics to make compatible safety frames for different types of demanding work environments that work with the new Glass 2.
