Suffice to say that we’re very, very excited about Intel’s entry to the market - not least because of XeSS technology, which sees another industry giant taking on Nvidia’s DLSS - very high quality super-sampling based on machine learning. We’ll have more on this later in the week, but certainly from the slides we saw, the inputs and processing of XeSS look very, very similar to Team GeForce’s DLSS set-up - the difference being that Intel is looking to set industry standards for this exciting technology. The demo looks great, so check that out if you haven’t already and hold tight for some potentially very exciting coverage from DF soon. I had the week off for this one but do check out what the team has to say about the new UE5 demo for Black Myth Wukong, the playable sampler for Tales of Arise and the discourse surrounding Pokémon Legends Arceus, plus the remarkable situation where the Xbox Series S is able to play PS1 games at native 4K resolution via emulation. If you’re looking to skip ahead to specific parts of the show, enjoy these carefully curated time-codes.
