Asus’ insane new PSU looks fully RTX 5090-ready

The Asus ROG Thor III 1600W power supply with blue lightning around it.

Asus has announced its ROG Thor III series of power supplies, designed specifically for gamers and enthusiasts who demand the most from their systems, perhaps to earn a spot among the best PSUs you can buy.

The highlight of this new lineup is the flagship 1600W model, which comes with an 80 Plus Titanium certification, meaning that it can deliver superior energy efficiency for the most power-hungry setups, perhaps ahead of one particular GPU, the RTX 5090. The Thor III family also includes 1000W and 1200W models, both with 80 Plus Platinum certifications, making them highly efficient options for high-end gaming rigs.

Perplexity AI, makers of the popular chatbot by the same name, announced Thursday that it is rolling out a pair of new features that promise to give users more flexibility over the sorts of sources they employ: Internal Knowledge Search and Spaces.

"Today, we're launching Perplexity for Internal Search: one tool to search over both the web and your team's files with multi-step reasoning and code execution," Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Previously, users were able to upload personal files for the AI to chew through and respond upon, the same way they could with Gemini, ChatGPT, or Copilot. With Internal Search, Perplexity will now dig through both those personal documents and the internet to infer its response.

Microsoft Copilot ‘spews data all over the floors,’ says influential CEO

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announces updates to the company's Copilot artificial intelligence (AI) tool.

Marc Benioff, co-founder and CEO of Salesforce, has some harsh criticism of Microsoft Copilot. During an interview on the Rapid Response podcast (spotted by Windows Central), the decorated executive described Microsoft's AI assistant as a "tremendous disservice" to the AI industry, and even compared it to Microsoft's long-retired office assistant, Clippy.

The topic of discussion on the podcast, which you can find the full video of below, is Saleforce's Agentforce AI. It's a competitor to Copilot that offers an AI assistant targeted at increasing productivity in businesses. But Agentforce is customizable. Instead of one AI to rule them all, Salesforce offers agents targeted at different applications. There's an agent built for customer service, another built for retail, and even another built to dig through analytics. Customers can build their own custom agents, too.
