The team is aiming to get iGPUs running path-tracing in real time, by reducing the number of calculations required to simulate light bounces. Their papers have been showcased at recent EGSR and HPG events. The company's Graphics Research Organization is set to present their path-traced optimizations at SIGGRAPH 2023. Intel's software engineers are working on path-traced light simulation and conducting neural graphics research, as documented in a recent company news article, with an ambition to create a more efficient solution for integrated graphics cards. This is the first time we are building BlizzCon this way, and our vision is that building a giant playground for our communities will allow everyone to create memories, share stories, and celebrate what unites us. Whether you're kicking back in Azeroth, exploring the mysteries of a dark cathedral of Sanctuary, playing alongside the heroes of Overwatch, or tuning in from home, we want you to feel you are entering universes alongside your friends as you celebrate and experience what we're building next, and hear from developers all across Blizzard about their vision for our games, their craft, and more. It will be a one-of-a-kind immersive experience, bringing attendees into the universes of Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch with massive installations, art, and thematic spaces where friends can connect. This year, the goal is to make BlizzCon feel more experiential than ever before. Sony's very thorough tracing system will likely result in these units being unusable, but members of the gaming community are puzzled by the corporation's lack of action-given the seller's ability to acquire and sell all sorts of PlayStation development equipment, with vintages from over a decade ago.Īfter four years away, BlizzCon is returning to Anaheim, California on November 3-4! We're so excited to get everyone together again, celebrate our communities, and share what we've been working on. It is believed that these PS5 prototypes pre-date the devkit that leaked prior to PlayStation 5's official launch, so hardcore collectors could be enticed by the prospect of owning unusual items.

The seller has gained some notoriety within the enthusiast scene, due to their acquisition of other rare bits of hardware, including PSP development kits.

A "Prototype 1" unit was purchased for JP¥551,000 (~$3810) over the weekend, and another auction was created this morning-the unmarked system started off at JP¥600,000 (~$4150). A "Prototype 2-not for sale" devkit was made available last week and eventually sold for around $5500 (JP¥ 800,000). A Japanese seller active on Yahoo Auctions has been listing PlayStation 5 prototypes consoles-their time limited (24 hour) offerings have probably been implemented to dodge the wrath of Sony Corporation's legal team.
