META QUEST PRO
MUCH HAS BEEN said about Mark Zuckerberg’s reveal of the Meta Quest Pro at the most recent Meta Connect event. The concept of legs coming to the metaverse was talked about more than the headset itself, and we’re going to go out on an, er, limb here and say that the tech world wasn’t particularly surprised when it turned out Zuckerberg’s lower half had actually been motion captured. It all muddies the water around an exceptionally powerful device that demands clarity. The stylish $1,500 Meta Quest Pro is not a VR headset. This is an MR or mixed reality set of goggles. And that means there are some key differences to think about if you just want a gaming device.
The Meta Quest Pro has been designed specifically for mixed reality experiences. So where the majority of VR headsets go to great pains to eradicate even a glimpse of the outside world, the Quest Pro has been purposefully designed with gaps at the sides of the headset so you can see the outside world.
Combined with the color pass-through from the high-resolution front cameras, this is designed to give you a seamless mixed reality experience and make you feel like you’re truly interacting with a digital version of the real world. There will be an optional add-on for use with VR games but this is a clear indicator of what the headset is specifically designed for and the kind of experiences Meta wants you to have. Think design work and collaboration rather than zombie killing in The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
