Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has unveiled the Xbox Series X (né Xbox Scarlett), a machine that’s as much a games console as my desktop PC is a calculator. Taking design notes from Apple and Corsair, the new Xbox Series X is a towering monolith of a PC. The launch bundle includes the new Xbox Wireless Controller and a set of tiny apes who will bludgeon each other to death beneath the Series X when it’s placed atop your coffee table.
Apple’s suing the CEO of Nuvia, Gerard Williams. After a near ten-year stint designing the chip giant’s ARM processors, Williams left to pursue a venture challenging Intel and AMD in the data centre – perhaps with ARM-based chips of Nuvia’s own design. But Apple claims this has all been in breach of Williams’ employment agreement.
Atari has self-published a Q&A with Atari VCS COO, Michael Arzt. Within the exec talks about QA testing, production, and the March 2020 release date for its retro throwback console.

TSMC and GlobalFoundries have taken their respective fingers off the semiconductor armageddon button and cancelled all their existing litigation of each other. That means Jen-Hsun can breathe a sigh of relief as Nvidia goodies are still going to be allowed to go on sale around the world, something GlobalFoundries was originally looking to nix.

I can’t make up my mind about this. Is the new InWin Alice PC case cool? I mean, the product page says it’s cool, but I just don’t know. Should you wrap a PC in fabric? The concept case design was first shown off at Computex this year, but Jacob didn’t see it while he was there because it looks like some sort of hipster bin for reusable nappies, and he’s blind to such things.
MadCatz is launching a new mouse to take on Logitech’s PowerPlay wireless charging: the MadCatz R.A.T AIR.
