NVIDIA has unveiled its latest laptop GPUs, and surprise surprise, they support artificial intelligence. RTX 500 and 1000 Ada Generation graphics cards are mainly for thin and light laptops.

These are workstation GPUs, so they are not for your gaming requirements. GPUs based on the Ada Lovelace architecture offer up to twice the ray-tracing performance of previous-generation GPUs (they use third-generation ray-tracing cores), the company says. Fourth-generation Tensor cores provide up to twice the throughput of previous GPUs.

Landscape technology company Husqvarna has announced that the game will work on some robotic lawnmowers. So you can spawn hell and … mow grass.
