As of today, all your Google Docs now live in 'G Suite' on the 'Google Cloud'

Introducing G Suite
Google executive Diane Greene officially rolled out Google Cloud today, the latest re-branding of Google’s many online services, including your Gmail account. Announced at an invite-only event today, Greene said the change was about making it clear that Google is serious about the cloud.

Google Cloud encompasses many services which we all use, like Google Drive, Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Essentially if it’s a Google web service it now falls under the Google Cloud umbrella.

Also under the new Google Cloud brand are the aforementioned Google Apps for Work (Docs, Sheets, Slides), which is getting its own sub-re-brand. They’re the G Suite now, like a fancy hotel room or conference room at a convention center.

There was some speculation earlier this year that a re-brand was on the way, but many observers — including some Google employees — assumed the new brand identity would be something like “Google Enterprise.” Diane Greene acknowledged the speculation in her announcement today.

“[Google] Enterprise — that was so June. We are the full power of Google in the Cloud, we are Google Cloud. It’s uniquely Google — a broad set of technologies, solutions and products,” Greene said, according to TechCrunch.

The re-brand won’t mean any changes for the users of those services, however, aside from maybe a new logo at the top of the page, but according to Greene, it signifies a new direction for Google’s Cloud services, in particular a new framework for new projects to exist under.

“Today we are also introducing a significant lineup of new cloud technologies and machine intelligence capabilities as well as services, and we’re showcasing how a cross-section of our customers and partners use and work with Google Cloud,” reads the Google blog post on the announcement.

Those new cloud technologies and machine learning capabilities include some incremental changes to existing services like Google Calendar, and you can read more about those here.

Nvidia may release the RTX 5070 in March to counter AMD’s RDNA 4 GPUs

Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5070 may now be launching in early March, according to industry analyst MEGAsizeGPU (@Zed__Wang on X). Initially expected to debut in February, the source suggests that the mid-range Blackwell GPU has been pushed back—potentially as a strategic move to counter AMD’s upcoming Radeon RX 9070.

Unveiled at CES 2025, the RTX 5070 is currently the most affordable GPU from the RTX 50-series lineup, at least till the RTX 5060 series goes official. It is powered by the GB205 GPU, featuring 48 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), 6,144 CUDA cores, and is equipped with 12GB of GDDR7 memory. The GPU utilizes a 192-bit memory interface, delivering a bandwidth of 672GB/s.
Nvidia has set the MSRP at $549, which is $50 less than its predecessor, the RTX 4070. While that may sound lucrative, it is important to consider that board partners will charge a premium over the MSRP and we cannot rule out scalpers and inflated retailer prices out of the picture.
