AMD and NVIDIA could be on a collision course for CES. AMD CEO Lisa Su has confirmed for the first time that the company is set to release its next-gen PC GPUs early next year. "In gaming graphics, revenue declined year-over-year as we prepare for a transition to our next-gen Radeon GPUs based on our RDNA 4 architecture," Su told investors on AMD's third-quarter earnings call. "In addition to a strong increase in gaming performance, RDNA 4 delivers significantly higher ray-tracing performance and adds new AI capabilities. We are on track to launch the first RDNA 4 GPUs in early 2025." The timing very much suggests that AMD will reveal those RDNA 4-based graphics cards at CES in early January. It's rare for the company to unveil desktop GPUs at the trade show (laptop cards are generally the order of the day for AMD at that event). However, it's widely expected that NVIDIA will use its CES keynote to debut its next-gen 50-series GeForce RTX GPUs. We might get a little more clarity on that front when NVIDIA announces its own Q3 earnings results on November 19. As PCWorld notes, AMD's first RDNA 4 GPUs are expected to deliver mid-range performance at an equivalent price point in a bid to increase its market share. AMD's gaming business (which includes the company's GPU division) saw a 69 percent year-over-year drop in revenue to $462 million in Q3.

The Daft Punk anime Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is coming to movie theaters on December 12, for one night only. Itll be screened in over 800 cinemas in more than 40 countries throughout the globe. Tickets go on sale November 13, so bookmark this page to make sure you snag one before they sell out. For the uninitiated, the film was first released back in 2003 and was a joint collaboration between Daft Punk and manga legend Leiji Matsumoto, who passed away last year. The anime acts as a visual companion piece to Daft Punks album Discovery. Theres no dialogue and minimal sound effects. Its all about the music. There is a plot, but its more a loose amalgamation of sci-fi ideas that act as a springboard to play Daft Punk songs. For instance, the bands iconic "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger begins when the lead character gets a hold of some high-tech sunglasses. It is, however, a visually stunning affair. To that end, this is a 4K remaster of the original. However, there has already been a bit of controversy surrounding this remaster. Distributor Trafalgar allegedly used AI to upscale some of the footage and, well, people dont seem to be happy with the results. In any event, we dont have too long to see how it all came together. Daft Punk To commemorate this limited theatrical release, the bands releasing a whole bunch of affiliated merch. Theres a physical edition of the film, complete with the original Japanese artwork, stickers and a collectible Daft Club card. Fans can also purchase the soundtrack album in multiple formats, including gold vinyl and numbered CDs.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/the-daft-punk-anime-interstella-5555-is-coming-to-theaters-for-one-night-only-184501194.html?src=rss

Google Wallet for kids will roll out in 2025. Following the positive response of tap-to-pay on Fitbit Ace LTE devices, were expanding tap-to-pay for kids to Google Wallet, Google wrote in a statement to 9to5Google, which first reported on it. Parents could approve credit and debit cards added to childrens phones, and Googles Family Link would let them view transactions and easily approve or remove cards. The service would build on the tap-to-pay functionality in Googles Fitbit Ace LTE kids activity tracker. The expansion would make the Google Wallet app available for Android phone-using children whose parents have set up Family Link and approved access. Any of the parents existing payment cards in Google Wallet could be used for the kids spinoff. When paying, children would have to approve tap-to-pay purchases using standard authentication options (fingerprint, facial recognition, PIN or password). At launch, the service is said to support gift cards and event tickets but not online purchases, identification or health cards. Apple already has a similar take on childrens purchases. Families in the companys ecosystem can let their kids use Apple Pay in stores and online or send money through Messages with Apple Cash Family. 9to5Google says Googles kids payments feature will roll out next year for some Google Wallet users in several countries, including the US. A wider rollout is expected at some point after that.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/children-with-android-phones-will-be-able-to-use-google-wallets-tap-to-pay-next-year-182650364.html?src=rss
