Integrated Graphics
For our main tests, there are areas to consider and determine if these processors are at the very least, usable. This means:
Competition against Intel’s previous IGPs: Comet Lake (i9-10900K) or Broadwell (i7-5775C)
Competition against other integrated graphics: AMD Ryzen R4000
Competition against entry level graphics: GT 1030
When comparing these against entry level graphics, the usual consideration is for combined price comparison – what would be the equivalent CPU+GPU combo in price against the integrated graphics solution.
For example, the Core i5-11600K retails for $255. This is very expensive for a processor with integrated graphics – in the past integrated graphics solutions have targeted price points around $100-$160. That being said, AMD’s latest R4000 APUs cost $355, $262 and $170.
D3 Publisher started adding game details to the Japanese official site for
Earth Defense Force 6. Other than introducing more enemy types and key characters who fight with the player’s unit, the site also confirmed Ranger and Wing Diver as the first two soldier types available in the game. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
Ranger was the first playable soldier introduced in
EDF6. D3 previously revealed new activities that he couldn’t do in the prequel
EDF5, such as jumping over obstacles and placing attack robots on trucks. The female
Wing Diver will also be available in this game. Despite having less armor than the Ranger, she makes it up with mobility from her jetpack and lightweight energy weapons that do not need ammunition.
After announcing last year that a brand new
Earth Defense Force is in the works Sandlot and D3 Publisher have released a debut trailer for
Earth Defense Force 6 to give players a small sample of what the game will have to offer in the way of enemies and classes that players can use to take them out, though longtime fans will recognize most of the creepy crawlies that appear.
Currently
Earth Defense Force 6 is set to be released sometime this year in Japan but at the moment the company has not announced what platforms it can be expected on, though it is worth noting that previous showings of the game have featured PlayStation branding.
Here’s what you in our community has been up to this week:
tactical20 has been giving Breath of the Wild another go, hoping that it’s third time the charm after a couple false starts in the last few years.
Crazy Del is one trophy away from the Dirt 5 platinum, has wrapped up Subnautica, and has continued his co-op adventures in Zombie Army 4.
willbuchanan has been playing Borderlands 2, but can’t decide if he’s glad not to have his old PS3 save to fall back on while replaying it.
And
doomsday619 has been replaying Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS5, finally managing to complete it again on Thursday.
