Good news for gamers and other creative professionals who rely on their displays to show top-notch detail (and are unfazed by high price tags). Dell is adding several new UltraSharp monitors to its lineup, including its flagship U3014 30-inch monitor with 2560 x 1600 resolution.

Creative types who need precise color rendering and calibration for their displays should keep their eye out for Dell’s UltraSharp displays with PremierColor, which are available in 30-inch (U3014), 24-inch (U2413) and 27-inch (U2713H) configurations. Since the U3014 (pictured above) is the largest of the three, with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, the 30-inch model is ideal for CAD/CAM, gaming, and content creation. But it won’t come cheap: the U3013 will retail for $1,499 when it becomes available worldwide soon, according to Dell.

The 24-inch U2413 and 27-inch U2713H are comparatively more affordable at $599 and $999, respectively, and both are capable of displaying 1.07 billion colors, thanks to their 12-bit internal processor. Both the 24-inch and 27-inch models are available worldwide now.

For people who want to see and do more at their computers – whether it’s devoting one screen to their social media feed and the other to their work, or splitting a photo across two monitors for greater detail – a dual-monitor setup typically requires a computer (and graphics card) that can support two DVI outlets. With Dell’s ultra-wide U2913WM monitor, the 29-inch HD display with a 21:9 aspect ratio gives you the benefit of extra screen real estate without the annoyance of a bezel interrupting the image. Although Dell’s press release did not specify this model’s exact price or availability, it seems B&H is already retailing this monitor for $587.99.

Intel confirms Razor Lake-AX which could deliver nearly four times Panther Lake’s AI performance
Intel wants to give humanoid robots a 700-TOPS brain by 2028
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Intel has officially confirmed that its upcoming Razor Lake-AX processor, an announced chip that has been leaked for months, is expected to launch in 2028. The processor will deliver approximately 700 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of AI computing power, especially for robotics and humanoid machines.

Intel executive Cho Min-sung presented the company’s roadmap at the Semiconductors Powering Humanoids conference in South Korea on Oct. 16, according to a report by The Elec. The announcement positions Razor Lake-AX not only as a possible competitor to AMD's high-performance Ryzen AI Max processors. Intel is also looking at a growing market for robots that need to process information and make decisions on the device itself.

Nvidia says the RTX 5090 is alive. Its availability begs to differ
The company insists its flagship gaming GPU isn't going anywhere, even as retailers pull listings and stock becomes practically mythical.

Nvidia wants gamers to know that the GeForce RTX 5090 isn't dead. Finding one, however, is starting to feel like a side quest with an impossible difficulty setting. The company has confirmed that its flagship gaming GPU will continue shipping, even as retailers pull listings, stock dries up, and prices reportedly reach a staggering $8,500 on Amazon. For those of you keeping score, that's more than four times its original $1,999 MSRP, which makes the RTX 5090 less of a gaming upgrade and more of a financial decision requiring a family meeting.

Keeping it alive and keeping it available are two very different things

What’s next for humanoid robots? Groping and sexual assault, apparently
German police investigate robot over alleged sexual harassment of teenage girl
Humanoid Robot

German authorities have launched an investigation after a robot allegedly touched a 16-year-old girl inappropriately and made sexual gestures on a street in Cologne. Police have seized the robot and the mobile phones of two young men suspected of controlling it, as investigators try to establish whether its movements were programmed in advance or directed in real time.

The incident raises unusual questions about accountability when robots are used to harass people in public. The suspected owner, aged 16, and his 19-year-old companion have not been charged, but police are investigating possible sexual harassment. Authorities say they are unfamiliar with a case of this kind, making it an unusual challenge for law enforcement.
