The collaboration will also extend to other upcoming Sega titles, the companies confirmed.
The announcements were made earlier today by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at an event in Tokyo celebrating the 30-year partnership between Sega and Nvidia.

Sega had previously tapped Nvidia to develop a custom GPU for its Dreamcast console, but eventually canceled the order and used NEC's PowerVR GPU instead, citing Nvidia's outdated technology.

Will it though? I noticed every few years, there is some sort of new major international scare. Foot and Mouth Disease, Bird Flu, Millennium Bug, Mayan Apocalypse, COVID 19, the kind of crisis that make people question if things will ever be the same again. And once the worse of it happens... things just go back to normal.

Whose to say the AI Bubble isn't just more fearmongering?

It'll be worse for few weeks or months may be but then get back again to status quo. Even if a valuation correction occurs, most analysts agree AI technology itself will remain a permanent fixture. The companies will always find a way.
