HW News - AMD RX 7800 Leak, GN Imposter, Intel 1.8nm CPUs, Arc Even Better In the latest hardware news recap, there were several noteworthy developments from the past week. This episode from Gamers Nexus discusses a mix of accidental leaks, driver issues, and the introduction of new technologies that could impact gamers and hardware enthusiasts alike.

Key Highlights:​

1. AMD RX 7800 Leak and VSR Expansion: A significant leak from Microsoft hinted at the imminent release of AMD's RX 7800 GPU. Interestingly, this might also intersect with the introduction of Video Super Resolution (VSR) technology that could extend beyond Nvidia's RTX cards. The discussion highlights both the benefits and limitations of these technologies, such as their functionality in various resolutions and the restrictions on content with Digital Rights Management (DRM). 2. Intel's 20 Angstrom Architecture Leak: In an unexpected turn, Intel's upcoming Panther Lake architecture details were unintentionally revealed by an employee's LinkedIn update. This architecture is reportedly set to be discussed during Intel's architecture day presentations, although internal miscommunications may delay this announcement. 3. Driver Issues Across Major GPU Brands:

• AMD: Recent drivers have been implicated in potentially bricking Windows systems during installations. Affected users are advised to avoid factory installation options and ensure Windows updates are completed beforehand.
• Nvidia: Their latest drivers were found to cause high CPU usage post game sessions, though a hotfix is already available. 4. Intel Arc Driver Updates: There are also promising updates for Intel's Arc GPUs, with improvements addressing long-standing power consumption issues when multiple monitors are connected. New driver releases have shown remarkable reductions in idle power, an issue that plagued users since launch. 5. Community Engagement and Charity Work: Gamers Nexus highlighted their charitable contributions to the Cramton Institute, raising funds for educational and e-waste recycling initiatives in their community, which reflects positively on their commitment to social responsibility.
