Before the MCU, the Iron Man comics were considered B grade and the character itself was seen as nothing but a Batman knockoff. Robert Downey Jr made the character cool. And in Avengers: Endgame, RDJ delivered his best performance in the MCU to date. It was nuanced, layered and absolutely heartbreaking. Robert Downey Jr owned every scene. And now, there are talks about him receiving an Oscar nomination, rightfully so....

In a now-deleted Tweet, one fan took to the social media platform to ask why the much-anticipated Dendam Pontianak was only screened at odd timings, making it difficult for working adults to catch it. Megat Sharizal retweeted it and said: — Megat Sharizal (@Megat_Sharizal) September 13, 2019 Upon catching wind of the Tweet, I did some digging myself. The problem (to me at least) isn’t that the film is only screened at odd timings (because it really isn’t — a lot of the shows are after 6pm....

As it turns out, the super app that he meant is actually AirAsia’s own website, AirAsia.com as well as AirAsia mobile app. According to Tony, the journey towards the super app had actually begun back in 2018 under the company’s digitalisation agenda which was called AirAsia 3.0. However, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated its progress since the outbreak has severely impaired AirAsia’s aviation and travel businesses. Hence, this gave the management of AirAsia as well as respective AirAsia Digital (previously known as RedBeat Ventures) subsidiaries some space to work towards the super app....

Just like the beastly Alienware Area-51m, the Alienware 55 was conceived through the brand’s newly established design identity called Alienware Legend. With an emphasis on purposeful innovation as well as performance and function, the new design philosophy was inspired by industrial designs within the science fiction culture. In terms of specifications, the Alienware 55 monitor apparently able to deliver more than 98% DCI-P3 color coverage as an excellent level of black and contrast ratio which is something you would expect from an OLED panel....

In terms of design, the new model looks exactly like its predecessor as both models are conceived via the brand’s Legend design philosophy. But of course, the hardware options for the Aurora R11 has been refreshed to suit 2020’s market which includes processor options of up to Intel Core i9-10900F processor. For our market, the Aurora R11 graphics selection maxed out at a single NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super card....

Equipped with Intel Core i7-10870H as standard, the base unit for both models come with GeForce RTX 3070 by default. However, customers can choose to have the beefier RTX 3080 instead for an additional RM 1,000. The base unit for the M15 R4 comes with a 15.6-inch Full HD 300Hz display which customers can swap with a 4K 60Hz OLED panel and Tobii Eyetracking sensor combo for RM 1,200. For the M17 R4, they can choose to add NVIDIA G-Sync native support to the original 17....

Both leaks suggest that the iPhone 13 mini will feature a new layout for its dual camera setup. Each sensor is now arranged diagonally from each other, as opposed to the vertical layout of its predecessor. One noticeable discrepancy is the size of the sensors, where they seem to appear larger in the Weibo leak, while Kowalski’s render shows them to be smaller. As for the rest of the device, the leak from Kowalski reveals the same flat design for the phone’s surrounding frame....

Images of the “ASUS x Noctua” themed RTX 3070 were reportedly posted on the ASUS ROG Vietnam’s official Facebook page, along with its supposed price tag. Unsurprisingly the post has long since been taken down, but not before a screenshot of the post was captured. Based on the post, the RTX 3070 sports a two-fan cooling solution that, as mentioned, are clearly fitted with Noctua fans – specifically, the brand’s NF-A12x25 model – and its brown and off-white colour scheme....

As per Videocardz, the 6700M will be a water-down version of AMD’s Navi 22 GPU, have 2304 Stream Processors, 10 GB GDDR6 running through a 160-bit memory bus, and possibly be available in three TGP variants: 80W, 110W, and 135W. In this instance, the GPU in question seems to be the 110W version. Additionally, the GPU seems to be paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX. Moving on, the Zhihu post also seems to be benching the 6700M-powered Delta 15 against a Razer Blade 14 Ryzen, fitted with an 80W NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU....

As per earlier reports, the slides seem to confirm that the RTX 3080 Ti’s 12GB GDDR6X memory, while the RTX 3070 Ti (possibly) has 8GB GDDR6X. Because these cards are a part of MSI’s premium, high-end SUPRIM series, both SKUs are kitted out with the brand’s Tri Frozr 2S cooling technology, along with its TORX 4.0 fan design. In addition, the RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti are also fitted with metal backplates, the latter utilising a flow-through design....

Rumours of OPPO’s choice of chipset first appeared in a post on the Chinese social network, Weibo. The post is, unsurprisingly, in Chinese, but it specifically suggested that the Reno6 Pro would house a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC, which is the chipmaker’s current creme de la creme model in its Dimensity series. Besides the switch from a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, the post goes on to list other hardware specifics for the Reno6 Pro; the phone is expected to sport a 6....

Gizmochina reports that a live photo of the smartphone, which is suggested to be known as the Photographer Edition, was uploaded on Weibo. Based on this, its rear case is shown to feature a dual-textured finish; with its upper half decked out in metallic silver and the bottom half covered in black leather. Digital Chat Station says this design pays tribute to the camera maker’s first ever product that was released in 1938, the Kodak 35....

The announcement came via a blog post on the Crucible website. In it, the devs say that they “ultimately didn’t see a healthy, sustainable future ahead” for the game. As a result, the devs will be discontinuing development for the title. Servers will still remain up for custom games until 9 November. The devs are also offering full refunds for purchases made. When all is said and done though, it’s not entirely surprising....

According to a tweet by a well-known leaker, ExecutableFix (@ExecuFix), AMD could be planning on shifting from using a Pin Grid Array (PGA) design to the Land Grid Array (LGA) format for its upcoming AM5 socket. On top of that, the socket size could be an LGA1718, which is obviously bigger than the current PGA1331 socket that AMD has been using in all Ryzen CPUs, since the launch of the very first processor back in 2017....

The 7nm Navi GPU is slated as the replacement and successor to AMD’s current Vega GPU. The latter being the GPU architecture used in making the brand’s high-end Radeon RX Vega 56 and Vega 64 GPU. Funnily enough, tech site Fudzilla also reports that AMD’s Navi 7nm will not be made for the enthusiast GPU market. Rather, the company wants to position the GPU as a performance and mainstream GPU....

The Bulldozer lawsuit was first filed back in 2015 by a group of people in California. It claims that when AMD had released its Bulldozer-based CPUs, they were falsely advertised as having 8-cores chips. In actuality, the CPUs only had four-cores, with each core have “dual-core modules” allotted to each chip. AMD claimed that those modules counted as individual cores, bringing the total number of cores to eight. Needless to say, the plaintiffs weren’t buying it and demanded compensation for the earlier mentioned false advertising....

As per AMD’s official statement, Noise Suppression uses real time, deep learning algorithm to help reduce background audio noise and should work for both input and output devices, removing any unwanted background noise captured either from your microphone or from someone else’s devices. In other words, it should eliminate the chopping noises being made from a fan that is blowing directly towards you on a very hot day, or even the sounds of someone being a little too loud for their own good....

To state the obvious, the Radeon RX 6700XT is AMD’s latest offering to gamers not looking beyond the 4K horizon and are content with the lower resolutions of 1440p and Full HD. But, as the question goes, how does it perform and is it worth the money? Specification As it is with all mid-range graphics cards, the 6700XT is essentially a watered-down version of the RX 6800 and 6800XT. The card comes with 12GB GDDR6 instead of the usual 16GB, while its Infinity Cache has been reduced from 128MB to 96MB....

According to the tech site, Neowin, the media outlet in question posted some benchmark numbers of the alleged 3rd generation Ryzen 5 3500X CPU, along with some details about the processor’s specifications. From what we can gather, the 3500X will sport a 6-cores, 6-threads die layout, and will be in direct competition to Intel’s own Core i5-9400F. In testing the 3500X, the Chinese site reportedly used setup comprising an MSI B450M Mortax Max motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000MHz, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 graphics card, and a 512GB NVMe SSD....
