Netflix must have liked Amazon's Sifu episode of Secret Level, as it's acquired the rights to the film adaptation of the stylish brawler, bringing a writer aboard with it

That Sifu film that's been gestating for a while finally has another upgrade, and it appears that you can now expect it to release on Netflix.

Way back in 2022. It was unveiled that Slopclap's martial arts brawler Sifu would be getting a live-action film adaptation with John Wick writer Derek Kolstad in the director's chair. Not much has been shared since then, but a new findings from Deadline has offered up some pretty big updates, namely that Netflix has joined the project. Tapping Nowlin to pen the screenplay. Nowlin doesn't have a huge number of credits under his belt, but he did write those Maze Runner films from like a decade ago, as well as the 2022 Netflix film The Adam Project, which did have some big names like Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, and Jennifer Garner attached.

On top of that. Insiders apparently told Deadline that John Wick director Chad Stahelski and his 87Eleven Entertainment banner have joined Story Kitchen as producers on the projects - Stahelski is expected to produce alongside Jason Spritz and Alex Young at 87Eleven Entertainment, with Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg doing the same from Story Kitchen. Sloclap’s Jordan Layani and Pierre Tarno are also attached as executive producers.

No exact story details were shared about the project, but. Presumably it follows a similar plot to the original game. For those that haven't played out, it follows the child of a martial arts school's sifu, master, who is seeking revenge for his father's death. The core loop sees him going off to fight some baddies, but thanks to a magical talisman. He comes back to life, albeit a bit older than he was the last time. We got a glimpse of that outside of the original game in last year's Prime Video series Secret Level, so maybe someone at Netflix liked it enough to jump on the film version.

There's no release date for the film just yet, so you'll just have to wait until it makes some more progress.

The creator of Cowboy Bebop's latest anime finally has a release date, and I for one am thankful it's not too far away

Lazarus, the latest anime from the creator of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, has a release date, and. It's pretty soon.

Are you in the mood for an anime with a great concept helmed by an absolute all-star crew? That's exactly what you're going to get in Lazarus, the upcoming anime that comes from Shinichiro Watanabe, with John Wick's director Chad Stahelski designing the action choreography, Jujutsu Kaisen studio Mappa producing it, and. The musical talents of Kamasi Washington, Floating Points, and Bonobo. That truly is a wildly strong line-up of talent, and best of all, Adult Swim has finally confirmed a premiere date: midnight on April 5. Yes, that sort of makes it April 6, but you get the point - and you'll be able to check out episodes (of which there will be 13) the day after they premiere on the streaming service Max.

For those that haven't heard of Lazarus, here's how Lazarus describes it: in 2052. There is an "era of unprecedented peace and prosperity" across the planet thanks to a "miracle cure-all drug with no apparent drawbacks called Hapuna" that's used for practically everything. It was made by a Dr. Skinner, but soon after he made it, he disappeared.

"Three years later, the world has moved on. But Dr. Skinner has returned - this time, as a harbinger of doom. Skinner announces that Hapuna has a short half-life. Everyone who has taken it will die approximately three years later. Death is coming for this sinful world - and coming soon. As a response to this threat, a special task force of 5 agents is gathered from across the world to save humanity from Skinner's plan. This group is called 'Lazarus.' Can they find Skinner and develop a vaccine before time runs out?"

I'm a big fan of Watanabe's previous works, and. All of this sounds great to me. A in the recent past shown off poster looks Cowboy Bebop as all hell too, so I'm sure fans of the classic anime are in for a treat with this one.

Nvidia's long-awaited Arm-based chip for PCs reportedly spotted running Geekbench very badly

Back in November we reported that Nvidia was planning to put an ARM CPU for the PC into production in 2025. Now it seems the chip, or at least some version of it, may have been spotted crunching very slowly through Geekbench.

The chip on Geekbench is registered as the N1X, which aligns with rumours from January that Nvidia would unleash a "high end" N1X Arm-based chip this year. With a more mainstream N1 variant following in 2026. Both chips are unveiled to be built on TSMC's N3 node and engineered in partnership with Mediatek.

Ostensibly. The scores for the new Nvidia chip look terrible (via X user Jukanlosreve). It racks up just 1,169 single-core points in Geekbench 6. That compares with 3,831 for Apple's current M4 chip, which is also Arm based.

The multi-core score is even more feeble at just 2,417 points to the M4's 15,044. And that's just the basic M4 chip. MacBooks with the M4 Max chip can breach 25,000 points, or over 10 times the performance.

Notably. The Nvidia N1X listing on Geekbench's results page indicates a four-core CPU. It's almost certain that any "high end" Nvidia ARM CPU will have more than four cores. Indeed, the mainstream N1 variant will also very likely have more than four cores.

In other words, whatever it is that has popped up in Geekbench. It's extremely unlikely to represent anything close to the final Nvidia N1X chip. That also applies to the chip's clockspeed and firmware.

It's listed on Geekbench at GHz, which is decent for an Arm CPU. But there's no way on knowing if it was really running at that speed or if the chip was fully functional in other ways.

Long story short then, the interesting thing here isn't anything to do with the purported specs of four cores and GHz, both of which won't be final, but the simple fact that a chip called N1X is up and. Running somewhere and returning any kind of benchmark results at all.

The idea of an Arm-powered PC, of course, is nothing new. Qualcomm is already having a serious tilt at it with the Snapdragon X series of chips. While Apple has proven with its M-series hardware that the Arm instruction set can go toe-to-toe with any x86 CPU. Indeed, in terms of IPC, Apple's chips are currently miles ahead of Intel and AMD.

The problem. For us at least, has always been game support. Of just about any application type, games represent the hardest challenge for a whole new CPU instruction set.

Gaming on the Snapdragon X via emulation has proven patchy thus far. However, if any business can get PC gaming working on Arm, it'll be Nvidia. That could be through an incredibly powerful CPU that can emulate seriously fast, convincing game devs to code native versions of their games, or maybe a combination of both.

Exactly what the involvement with Mediatek will bring isn't clear. Meanwhile. It's thought one essential driver for the Mediatek tie-in may be 5G cellular networking support which could be critical for the enterprise version of the new chip.

Consumer PCs arguably don't need 5G and, frankly. I'd rather see Nvidia designing the CPU cores than Mediatek. So, here's hoping the Mediatek bit is indeed limited to just the wireless comms.

For now, no other details are known. For instance, which graphics architecture will the new APU use? It's all speculation for now, but the claim that N1X and N1 are on TSMC's N3 node suggest that the chip could use Nvidia's next-gen Rubin GPU technology rather than the current Blackwell architecture.

That's because GPU architectures are somewhat tied to process nodes. Blackwell is built on N4 while Rubin is expected to be on N3. Now, it's not impossible that Nvidia has ported Blackwell to N3 for the N1X chip. But that would require a full redesign for the new node, which costs time and money.

Arguably. It could be easier to go with an architecture that's already been built for TSMC's N3 design rules. And that would be Rubin.

Ultimately, time will tell. But a true "high end" Arm chip from Nvidia with next-gen graphics would certainly be exciting. We can't wait to see what Nvidia has cooking.
