Thereβs one more Intel Arrow Lake rumor out to digest, so if you happen toβre available in the market for a brand new gaming CPU, it is likely to be price ready a couple of weeks. Based on leakers, Intel is lastly planning to launch its next-gen CPU lineup on the finish of this month, together with its new Z890 motherboards.
These brand-new Intel Core Extremely 200-series CPUs characterize Intelβs subsequent, greatest likelihood to launch the very best gaming CPU and push AMD from its pedestal for the primary time in years. AMD has had the benefit thus far, with even flagship Intel CPUs such because the Core i9 14900K failing to beat the efficiency beneficial properties that AMDβs 3D V-cache know-how affords.
This can be a two-part rumor, with Videocardz reporting first from βa number of sourcesβ the timescale up till the discharge. If the main points are true, then Intel is planning a private press briefing for the media in simply over per weekβs time on Thursday, October 7. There’ll then be a public announcement the next Monday on October 10, whereas the brand new CPUs will go on sale two weeks in a while October 24.
This additionally matches up with earlier trade leaks that got here from China final month, which recommended that the Intel Arrow Leak CPU launch date was delayed to October 24. Thereβs additionally one other, separate leak reported in a publish by X/Twitter {hardware} leaker wnxod, who means that Intelβs Z890 motherboards are going to comply with the identical schedule, with an announcement approaching October 10.
The double launch is sensible, as youβll want to select up a Z890 motherboard to change to a brand new Arrow Lake CPU, because of the new socket design. The LGA1851 socket that Intel is utilizing for its Intel Core Extremely 200-series desktop CPUs makes it incompatible with Intelβs thirteenth and 14th-gen chips and the LGA1700 socket they used. These boards are leaving the previous behind, dropping DDR4 RAM and PCIe 3.0 assist solely.
There are much more leaks to take care of relating to pricing. It seems to be like Intel Arrow Lake costs shall be just like the present 14th-gen lineup, though top-end Z890 motherboard costs might be as pricey as a complete gaming PC, not less than on the excessive finish. All of that is topic to hypothesis, but when the October 10 date holds up, weβll know for certain in simply over per weekβs time.
Weβve additionally seen some Intel Arrow Lake benchmark leaks pop up in latest weeks for the Core Extremely 9 285K and the Core Extremely 7 265K on an MSI Z890 motherboard, exhibiting small will increase in efficiency in comparison with a Core i9 14900K. At any time when the launch date arrives, Intel badly must make successful of this launch.
It hasnβt had the very best 12 months, with the Vmin Shift Instability fault on thirteenth and 14th-gen Intel Core CPUs inflicting irreparable injury, with the ultimate Intel CPU repair solely launching within the final week. Fortunately, Intel has made clear that that difficulty receivedβt be an issue for Arrow Lake CPUs, which weβre additionally anticipating to see run with Z890 default energy settings on motherboards, set to Intelβs specs.

Unusual Scaffold’s latest streak (over two years) of wildly completely different indie releases has been fairly wild: From El Paso, Elsewhere to Life Eater to Clickolding, the indie studio has represented tight and laser-focused gaming at its greatest and most experimental. Its newest launch, I Am Your Beast, may be the much less bizarre one of many bunch, however that does not make it any much less uncommon.
After a September half-defined by my disappointing experiences with a gaggle of extremely anticipated indie video games (the opposite half was a bunch of kickass huge ones), I Am Your Beast appears like a breath of contemporary air. It is concise and would not overstay its welcome, however can be constructed to be extremely replayable in a brutally satisfying and uncomplicated sort of approach.
To see this content material please allow focusing on cookies.
Positive, many unbiased releases fall below that description, however very not often the sport is a narrative-heavy first-person shooter. Yup, at first look, I Am Your Beast appears strictly arcade-y, and its DNA very a lot makes the mind go brrr with scores, scores, and loopy multipliers. Nevertheless it additionally occurs to pack a fairly convincing story with completely outlined characters by nothing however textual content and audio. There are practically as many cutscenes as there are predominant story missions, and so they’re as tightly written and edited because the breakneck recreation itself.
It is also the kind of recreation that is not bought tremendous effectively by screenshots and written reward alone. So, initially, try the wild and straight-to-the-point launch trailer under:
Do you hate the very thought of the military-industrial advanced however are sadly interested in weapons and digitally murdering dozens of goons? That is your recreation, I reckon. The story follows retired undercover agent Alphonse Harding, who’s fortunately finding out birds in the course of some woods in bumf**okay nowhere. Declining ‘one final job’ (we all know how that goes) units in movement a livid guerilla battle between him and the Covert Operations Initiative (COI). There is a little bit of each John Wick and Rambo happening right here, and also you’re meant to go all Predator on the COI’s ass.
Video games the place you are kind of a hunter rock. A minimum of on a primary degree. In fact, devs need to make it enjoyable. The factor is that they are usually extra slow-paced and tactical than your standard motion recreation. I Am Your Beast does the alternative and appears like Titanfall 2 on crack (however sadly with out mechs). Bullets fly throughout, sliding and leaping throughout the eventualities is as essential as touchdown these kills, and oftentimes you gotta get inventive to outlive and/or obtain your goals earlier than the clock ticks down.
If these Warzone streamers stopped enjoying AAA video games for one hour and checked this little gem out, they’d most likely lose their s**t. That is the extent of untamed ‘aggression-based motion’ I am speaking about. Pop these fools, stab ’em and cube ’em, and rush your ass to the extent exit. Wish to good your expertise? There are bonus goals. Need even nuttier ranges? Problem ones are there for you. It is a fairly candy package deal that, even for strict completionists, is only some hours lengthy.
Even when the principle story hits bonus objective-related roadblocks that sadly kill a little bit of the momentum, I Am Your Beast feels in contrast to something I’ve performed this 12 months, huge or small. There’s zero fats on this orgy of bullets, knifes, and blood. That additionally applies to the visuals and uncooked sound design: The entire thing merely pops out of the display screen and audio system and feels readable even throughout its most hectic moments. I can not converse for Unusual Scaffold, however I would wager this has been examined to hell and again, as a result of it simply works and circulate so rattling effectively.
What I get at, I suppose, is that even indie tasks are progressively getting slowed down by some style trappings and the always-present affect of larger video games. I am speaking about narrative-oriented video games that needn’t open-worlds to do what they’re actually fascinated by, or roguelikes that may’t fairly work out tips on how to lace collectively a bunch of versatile mechanics that perhaps did not belong collectively to start with. Proper within the face of these inventive shifts, Unusual Scaffold’s video games are a number of the most concentrated and ‘creatively regular’ that I’ve come throughout just lately.
Even with boomer shooters having fun with a second lifetime of types due to the various indie studios and solo devs lovingly honoring historical FPS, retro-looking releases like I Am Your Beast or Ultrakill handle to wow and shock with distinctive types and an consideration to the moment-to-moment loop that really feel lifted straight out of character motion video games. Sure, they really feel classical and arcade-y, however they’re pushing the style ahead in significant methods. And the substance is there as effectively; I Am Your Beast made me care about its central character extra effectively than numerous video games that simply attempt too exhausting with partitions of textual content or spoken dialogue.
There’s magnificence in simplicity, however that does not imply you have to sacrifice themes and characters. It is a tough balancing act, particularly for artists creating video video games. However Xalavier Nelson Jr. and Unusual Scaffold seem to have found out that very candy spot, providing the correct quantity of ‘bang for the buck’ again and again and leaving gamers with extra questions popping out of the sport than after they first booted it up. Shock, shock, individuals are exhibiting up for each new wacko experiment they put out. That is the way you do it.
I Am Your Beast is at present a PC unique. It is out there on Steam and GOG.
