Rating: 7.5.

Intel's 4th Gen Xeon aka Sapphire Rapids has had such a long and troubled gestation that these new CPUs use the same Golden Cove architecture as the 12th Gen Alder Lake Desktop CPUs that launched in November 2021. We know Sapphire Rapids is late but the question is whether this 56-core monster delivers the goods.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
