Microsoft is rumored to be developing several upcoming titles and one of the consoles some believe to be in development is an Xbox hybrid console similar to the Nintendo Switch. However, according to Windows Central’s JezCorden this turns out to be false. In the latest episode of the Xbox Two podcast, Corden stated that the console will be a standard home console but will have a handheld as an add on. “I’ll tell you now: there’s going to be a separate handheld and there’s going to be an Xbox Series X successor,” he said. “It’s going to be two different things. They’re not just going to try and go all in on handheld only; they’re going to do a more traditional console for the Series X people and then a handheld. […] I’m predicting a Series X successor, a handheld, and the end of the paywall for premium multiplayer games.”

The Next Xbox Console Reportedly Won’t Be a Hybrid Console

AMD has followed in the footsteps of NVIDIA with its Radeon RX GPUs, trying to gain market share anywhere that it can. While the class-leading halo products such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX are released early in the life cycle of a GPU architecture, the entry level products often follow years later. It appears as though some models such as the RX 7300 and RX 7400 may never see the light of day, as board partners warp ahead to AMD's RDNA 4 according to Benchlife.

RetroHandhelds has noticed that SJGAM is preparing to release another retro gaming handheld. For context, the company introduced the M25 last month, which shamelessly bandwagoned on the popularity of the PlayStation Portal (curr. $199 on Amazon). SJGAM is no stranger to selling devices that resemble their contemporaries though, of which the M19 is another example.

Every cow/calf producer aspires for calves to gain weight efficiently. Some producers have discovered that a creep system, particularly creep grazing, is a promising way to achieve this goal. Creep grazing, in particular, has the potential to significantly increase calf weight gain, offering a ray of hope for producers. It’s important to note that both methods, creep grazing and creep feeding a concentrate supplement, have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Hence, it’s crucial for the producer to research and choose the method that best suits their needs.

AMD’s latest Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 CPUs officially went on sale on August 8. To the dismay of many fans, reviews of the Ryzen 5 9600X and the Ryzen 7 9700X have been a mixed bag. While the Zen 5 CPUs are more efficient than their Zen 4 and Intel 13th/14th-gen Raptor Lake counterparts, the performance advantage of the new chips has disappointed a lot of consumers.

Although Apple’s tablet lineup has undergone several shakeups over the last several years, we long considered the ninth-gen iPad to be the best budget iPad you could get. That changed when Apple dropped the price of the 10th-gen iPad to a more sensible $349 and discontinued its entry-level model. But the 2021 iPad remains a perfectly good slate, especially now that the base model with 64GB of storage is down to an all-time low of $229 ($100 off) at Amazon and $229.99 at Best Buy.
