AMD Radeon RX 6950XT is credited with a frequency of more than 2.5 GHz and a TDP of 350 W
According to the source, the AMD Radeon RX 6950XT graphics processor will automatically overclock to over 2.5 GHz, which means that the frequency is at least 250 MHz higher than the frequency of the existing air-cooled model, and about 65 MHz higher than the frequency of the Liquid Edition.
So far, AMD has released three variants of the Radeon RX 6900XT graphics cards: a simple variant with the Navi 21 XTX GPU, a liquid-cooled model with the Navi 21 XTXH, and later air-cooled models released by several AMD partners, also on the Navi 21 XTXH. The RX 6950XT is expected to use XTXH processors selected based on their maximum operating frequency.
Actually, AMD Navi 21 with a clock speed of more than 2.5 GHz cannot be considered something extraordinary, if we recall the existence of such models as Sapphire Toxic Extreme (2730 MHz), Gigabyte AORUS Xtreme WF (2525 MHz), ASUS ROG STRIX LC ( 2525 MHz) or ASROCK OC Formula. All of them are liquid-cooled. The fastest air-cooled model is the XFX Speedster MERC 319. Its GPU is clocked at 2495 MHz.
At the moment, it is not clear if the RX 6950XT uses liquid cooling.
In addition, the source of the leak claims that the RX 6950XT will feature a TBP of 350W, which is higher than all existing models in the 6900 series.
AMD’s new flagship is expected to launch in mid-April and be able to compete with the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. There are no pictures of him yet.

Sony will not let you enjoy the old games to the fullest. PS3 projects within PS Plus will be released without add-ons

As part of the updated subscription service Sony PS Plus will be available, including projects for PS3. But due to the very specific architecture of the processor of this console, the games will be available in the cloud service.
And now it became known that such games, unfortunately, will not support add-ons. DLC may someday be added, but at first you definitely shouldn’t expect them.
For example, Asura’s Wrath, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Crash Commando, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and a number of other games received various kinds of add-ons at one time, for some projects there were a lot of such DLCs. But within the framework of PS Plus, it will not be possible to try them out. The source also publishes a list of PS3 games, but we published them a week ago, when Sony itself did this.
As a reminder, today we also learned that some classic games will work even worse on the new consoles than on the original PlayStation.
