AMD has unveiled its long-awaited Ryzen 7000 series of processors, which will be released on September 27.

Initially teased by AMD back in January during the company's CES 2022 keynote. The new chips also have integrated RDNA 2 graphics, the same graphical architecture found in the Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs, the Steam Deck, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The Ryzen 7000 series uses Zen 4 architecture; these are also the first processors by AMD to support the DDR5 RAM but do not include support for DDR4. So, if you are planning to upgrade your processor and motherboard, you will also need to invest in new RAM as well.

Four CPUs make up the Ryzen 7000 line. The Ryzen 9 7950X is the flagship, featuring 16 cores and 32 threads and a boost clock of up to 5.7GHz. The Ryzen 9 7950X will retail for $699. Other processors in the lineup include the $549 Ryzen 9 7900X, the $399 Ryzen 7 7700X, and the Ryzen 5 7600X, which will cost $299.

AMD also confirmed new motherboards to support the Ryzen 7000 series. The AMD X670 and X670E chipsets will be available starting next month, while the AMD B650 and B650E chipset motherboards will arrive a month later.

Besides the expected announcement of new CPUs, AMD also teased its upcoming graphics cards, which will feature RDNA graphical architecture. During the presentation, AMD demoed a pre-production model of its next-gen GPU, pairing it with its flagship Ryzen 7000 processor showing gameplay of Lifes of P running on ultra settings at 4K resolution.

AMD is expected to launch its RDNA 3 graphics cards later this year.

Star Wars fans have finally gotten their first look at Han Solo and Leia Organa’s wedding.

After surviving an assault on not one, but two Death Stars, Star Wars power couple Han and Leia eventually married. We met their offspring in Star Wars: The Force Awakens but have never quite managed to get a glimpse of those happier times. That is, until now.

A new book, Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel, finally gives us a glimpse of Han and Leia’s wedding day.

EXCLUSIVE: Leia's wedding dress from #StarWars has been revealed.

For fans left wondering what really happened after “Return of the Jedi," the new novel “Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel” has the answer. https://t.co/KruOXqDdXZ pic.twitter.com/SF8zLjdFQd

— Variety (@Variety) August 29, 2022

“Their marriage, and the peace and prosperity it represents, are a lightning rod for all — including Imperial remnants still clinging to power,” reads the book’s synopsis. “Facing their most desperate hour, the soldiers of the Empire have dispersed across the galaxy, retrenching on isolated planets vulnerable to their influence. As the Halcyon travels from world to world, one thing becomes abundantly clear: The war is not over. But as danger draws closer, Han and Leia find that they fight their best battles not alone, but as husband and wife.”

Filling in some of the gaps between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, the new book tells the story of the iconic rebels in the aftermath of the fall of the Empire. It sounds as though marital bliss is only short-lived.

Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel charts the couple’s nuptials all the way to their honeymoon on the Halcyon luxury cruise – yes, the same cruiser that features in Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, its $6000 a night Star Wars hotel experience.

Whether or not the Galactic Starcruiser experience will now tie into the plotline of Han and Leia’s honeymoon remains to be seen. For now, you can read all about it in the upcoming book, with a hint of Han and Leia’s wedding revealed in an excerpt over at Variety.

“Leia wore a gown made of soft meadow green, embroidered with flowers similar to the ones bedecking the outside of the temple. It hung loose over her body, yet it wasn’t shapeless. The sides were open, giving her space to move her legs and expose the laces of her white fur boots that went all the way up to her knees. She held a bouquet of wildflowers tied with the same bit of lacing woven in her hair, and Han suspected that Leia had picked the flowers just before she’d climbed the ladder to the temple.”

The Callisto Protocol features a lot of different ways to die - and will reward you for being punished with every single one.

During an interview with IGN Japan, developer Mark James revealed that there’s actually an achievement for seeing every single possible death the game has to offer.

“We’re working on our achievements and trophies at the moment, and we actually have an achievement in there for seeing all of the deaths,” he said. “You are gonna die in our game. A lot of people ask how long the game is, and it’s like, how many times are you going to die? Also, the variables are huge in the way they attack you or you attack them, so you might actually die more or less. Even things like backing into a fan, it’s a mistake and it will result in a death, you’ll have to do that section again.”

The Callisto Protocol is the upcoming survival horror game from Glen Schofield – co-creator of the Dead Space series. Much like its predecessor, The Callisto Protocol has become renowned for its inventive (and rather gory) ways to die, and a recent gameplay trailer gave us a glimpse of just how gory it can get.

“It’s become our signature now,” said James about the game’s numerous deaths. “We have a signature death at the end of every trailer. We want you to see death not as a punishment but as a time to learn about what you did wrong, and a little bit of tongue-in-cheek entertainment about how you die.”

There are plenty of gruesome creatures to encounter in The Callisto Protocol as prisoner Jacob Lee is thrust into the middle of an alien invasion, but it’s not just the monsters that’ll kill you.

“Each monster has its own way it kills you, and environmental hazards are hazards to you as well as to the enemy. In one of our trailers, he backed into a fan, and when you’re backing away from a monster you’ve got to be really careful because these hazards can kill you as much as the enemy in front of you.”

How many different ways are there to die in The Callisto Protocol? Lots. But achievement hunters will have to work out exactly how many on their own.

“We're not going to reveal the number of deaths at the moment,” said James. “But I think you’ll have to work hard to do it.”

Daniel Craig’s southern accent when he returns as detective Benoit Blanc may sound a bit different in the sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Partly because Craig worked on a more “grounded” Southern accent for the role, but also because he forgot how to do the accent from the first movie.

“I’d forgotten the accent, and I didn’t want to do a pastiche,” Craig tells Empire Magazine in a recent interview. So, to prepare for the role again, Craig says he worked with an accent coach for about four months before the Knives Out sequel started filming.

“I wanted to make it as grounded and as anchored in reality as possible,” Craig continued.

Craig’s southern-fried accent in Knives Out hit the right balance between comical and restrained, but it sounds like his accent for the sequel will be more grounded and realistic.

Though it’s funny Craig forgot the accent seeing as though he also sported a southern accent in Steven Soderbergh’s southern heist Logan Lucky.

Like the detective heroes of the past, Glass Onion will see detective Benoit Blanc return for a whole new mystery with a new cast. Set on a private Greek island, Blanc will have to solve a new murder among a new cast of suspects.

They’ll include Edward Norton as a tech billionaire, Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr, Jessica Henwick, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista.

Glass Onion will premiere on Netflix after the streamer bought the rights to two Knives Out sequels for $450 million. Meaning once Glass Onion wraps up, Craig will be back for a third Benoit Blanc mystery, though he’ll hopefully remember the accent the third time around.

Nintendo only gave fans six months to rush out and buy Super Mario 3D All-Stars before delisting it digitally and ending its physical run. But the move appears to have paid off from a sales perspective.

According to data from research firm CESA, Super Mario 3D All-Stars has shipped 9.07 million units since its launch in September 2020.

After months of rumors, Super Mario 3D All-Stars was announced in Nintendo's Super Mario 35th Anniversary Nintendo Direct. The game includes HD ports of N64's Super Mario 64, GameCube's Super Mario Sunshine, and Wii's Super Mario Galaxy. Interestingly, the game received a limited physical run, with Nintendo saying the game would only be available until March 31, 2021.

Fans found Nintendo's decision to discontinue the game so bizarre that they dubbed March 31, 2021, "The Day Mario Dies". The event became so infamous that our article on the subject was IGN's most-read news article in 2021. However, as March 31 came and went, the digital version of the game was delisted, with physical copies remaining on store shelves for months after the fact.

In our analysis of the game, we said the game misses the mark, saying, "the overall lack of bells and whistles make Super Mario 3D All Stars a bit of a disappointment".

Elsewhere in the new numbers from CESA, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening crossed the 6 million mark, Pikmin 3 Deluxe has sold over 2 million copies, and Bayonetta 2 became a 1 million seller ahead of its sequel later this year.

After introducing its first episode without traditional opening credits, House of the Dragon has revealed its full opening sequence, and it's sporting a familiar theme that long-time fans will be happy to hear again.

Co-creators Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochni told ET that they opted to forego an opening sequence in House of the Dragon's first episode as a "creative choice" so as to "get on the tell the story." As such, episode one functioned as a cold open for the series.

However, the second episode of the Game of Thrones prequel finally introduces an opening sequence that combines the original series' nostalgic theme song with a fresh take on its visuals.

Returning composer Ramin Djawadi's famous Game of Thrones theme plays over the opening credits of House of the Dragon as it greets viewers with an aesthetically similar visual style to the original show, albeit much darker. This time around, the focus is on heavy foreshadowing – a trail of blood makes its way through Valyria, eventually splintering in various directions as it encounters different sigils, each alluding to an important moment in the long and storied history of the Targaryen bloodline.

Reactions on Twitter and elsewhere have been mixed, with plenty of users liking it for its nostalgic vibe and plenty of others wondering why House of the Dragon didn't go with something new.

I'm enjoying House of the Dragon well enough so far, but I do think they should have created a new opening theme song.

— DAEMON (@DaemZero) August 29, 2022

House of the Dragon is set nearly 200 years before Game of Thrones and follows the Targaryens during a period of turmoil that eventually leads to the war of succession known as the "Dance of the Dragons." To the surprise of some, the show has started its run with largely positive reception and has already been renewed for a second season.

In our review of the premiere episode, we said, "House Of The Dragons is here to stake a claim to its progenitors’ title at the pinnacle of peak TV, and this first episode makes a solid case."
