| Cyberpunk 2077 Gets 43GB Pre-Launch Patch - and There's Seemingly Another Update Coming - IGN - IGN Posted: 07 Dec 2020 05:42 AM PST  CD Projekt Red's Fabian replied to DreamcastGuy, saying that it's "not the update we'll have for launch", presumably pointing to the 43GB patch being a 'Day Zero' update, with a Day One update to come around launch on December 10.
It seems likely that the contents of the 43GB patch will be rolled into your initial download/install of the game, rather than seeing you download two separate updates. The game currently weighs in at 70GB on PC, although it's not clear if that's a non-updated version size. The game's preload is now live on GOG, with other platforms following over the next day, so you best get downloading early if you want to have everything prepared for launch. In other Cyberpunk news, here's every easter egg revealed so far. If you're keen to know exactly when the game will launch worldwide, you can check out our article which runs through the global release times of Cyberpunk 2077, picking out your region from the handy map. If you want to get into the spirit of things, there's also a digital Cyberpunk launch party being hosted on Twitter on December 9. |
| Apple's 2021 Mac CPU roadmap reportedly includes 32-core chips - Engadget Posted: 07 Dec 2020 06:52 AM PST Apple's in-house silicon could scale well beyond the eight-core (or rather four-plus-four-core) M1 you find in entry-level Macs. Bloomberg sources claim Apple's 2021 roadmap is considerably more aggressive, to the point where the company is reportedly testing chips for higher-end desktops (including a "half-sized" Mac Pro) with as many as 32 high-performance cores. That's not as many as in AMD's 64-core Threadripper, but it would eclipse the 28-core Xeon available in the Mac Pro and might deliver significant gains for heavily multithreaded tasks. Faster desktops could arrive by later 2021, although the tipsters said the Mac Pro is only slated to arrive "by 2022." You might see leaps forward in mid-tier systems, too. Apple is said to be designing chips for higher-end MacBook Pros and iMacs with as many as 16 high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores. There's a chance that Apple might stick with eight or 12 cores depending on chip production capabilities, but you'd see these chips as early as the spring and continuing through the fall. And yes, Apple is apparently keen to improve graphics performance as well. The company is believed to be testing 16- and 32-core GPUs for iMacs and higher-end MacBook Pros. Its highest-end desktops, meanwhile, might get 64- and 128-core GPUs that could be "several times" quicker than the AMD graphics in current Intel-based models. You'd have to wait until late 2021 or 2022 to see those most advanced visuals, however. There are many unanswered questions. How well does Apple's ARM-based architecture translate to high-performance computers? Will there be dedicated GPUs, significantly higher RAM capacities and (on the Mac Pro) PCIe slots? Apple's M1 is often faster than comparable Intel chips and sometimes outperforms AMD's, but there's no guarantee future CPUs will outrun their x86 equivalents. Apple might claim an edge in the laptop space. At present, AMD and Intel laptop processors top out at eight cores. That's bound to change, but Apple could shake up the industry if it delivers 12- or 16-core chips before its rivals. They could be faster for multithreaded apps and otherwise offer performance you might not expect in current portables. It's safe to say Apple has high hopes, if these leaks are accurate — it wants to beat the competition in some respects, not just keep pace. |
