The details were first discovered by prominent leakster, APISAK (@TUM_APISAK), who noticed that a UserBenchmark listing of an “Intel 0000” CPU. As per the listing, the processor had 16-cores, 24-threads, thus further reaffirming Intel’s decision to using the uneven Golden Cove and Gracemont core pairing. Further, the listing also states that the CPU has a base and turbo clock of 1.8GHz and 3.05GHz, respectively. Those speeds are low when compared to the blistering 5....

Evidence of the GPUs was first sniffed out by Twitter user SkyJuice (@SkyJuice60), who identified a total of three Radeon RX 7000 Series GPUs: the 7700XT, 7800XT, and 7900XT. Unsurprisingly, the listings of the GPUs have already been removed from the calculator when we paid a visit to the site ourselves. Mercifully, SkyJuice was able to take a screenshot with the calculator listing all three GPUs, so as to prove their claim on the social media platform....

To be precise, the 13700HX will have a 16-cores, 24-threads configuration, of which eight of them are P-Cores, presumably Raptor Cove, while the remaining eight are Gracemont-based E-Cores. Further, its base clock is listed at 2.1GHz, while the boost clock is 4966MHz, which we’re guessing is 5GHz. It should also be mentioned that the 13700HX and its details were submitted via a Lenovo laptop that could possibly be part of the brand’s Legion sub-brand....

The photo was uploaded on Weibo by a user known as “Ark咔嚓一下” and allegedly showcases a number of the P40’s rectangular camera housing prior to assembly. The housing features cutouts for three cameras and other functions such as LED flash or laser emitter/receiver. One notable detail from the camera cutouts is that all three are circular. This could indicate that the P40 may not feature a periscope camera module, which are often square in shape....

The clip of the alleged unannounced game is extremely short, being just about five seconds long. Things are still a little rough around the edges, indicating that this is a clip that’s in its early stages of development. From the look of things, this looks to be a sci-fi shooter of some sorts, and it’s claimed that it is being developed using Unreal Engine 5. — SUPERNOVAS (@supernovastv) January 8, 2023 Over at the ResetEra forums, video games industry leaker DuskGolem claims to “have seen a lot more of this game”, and in a better, more recent state complete with voice-overs and music....

The specifics of the contest requires its participants to take a shot at guessing what the Cinebench scores for the two aforementioned CPUs would be. The duration of the contest ends on 14 December. Before you get all excited; no, that isn’t the official launch of the new CPU, and is only the contest period. However, it’s obvious that the sales agency running the contest will only be able to vet the winners after the launch and initial benchmark release of the CPUs....

The 2970WX is currently AMD’s second most powerful CPU, after the 2990WX. It has a base clockspeed of 3GHz and a boost clockspeed of 4.2GHz. The CPU also has an L3 Cache of 64MB. More importantly, the CPU requires TDP of 250W in order to run efficiently. Moving on, the 2920X is essentially a refresh of the company’s first generation Threadripper 1920X, but with slightly higher base and boost clockspeed....

In addition to the AMD CEO, the good Dr. Su is also joined by Dr. William Dally, chief scientist at NVIDIA, Eric Horvitz, chief scientific officer for Microsoft, and Phil Venables, chief information officer at Google Cloud. Leading the council will be Dr. Frances Arnold from the California Institute of Technology, Dr. Maria Zuber from MIT, and the White House’s own Office of Science and Technology Policy Director, Dr. Eric Lander....

A new commit in the AOSP Gerrit describes a “Context-aware Bluetooth airplane mode”, which is exactly that. The idea is that, when you engage airplane mode, your Bluetooth connections will be left alone when it has either a hearing aid or an A2DP device connected. The feature is currently live on the first Android 11 developer preview You’ve likely been told to turn on airplane mode yourself just before the plane you’re in takes off....

The new patent filing was made at the World Intellectual Property Organisation. The depiction of the phone also looks pretty different compared to what was seen in August. But that’s not a bad thing, as it now looks a lot more like the Razr that we’re all familiar with. One important thing remains the same though, and that’s the fact that it features a folding screen. Beyond that, though, it looks like not much else has been revealed....

Japanese retailers have shared that Sony Interactive Entertainment will be releasing a third PS5 variant in the coming weeks, sporting the new CFI-1200 model number. This was set to launch in Japan on 15 September, the same day the console’s price hike goes into effect in the country. But according to a report by Press Start Australia, the new console models have already landed on the land down under....

Leaker Jon Prosser shared on Twitter that some of the company’s engineers are getting prototypes of a “C68”. The accompanying image suggests that the model refers to the Apple AirPower wireless charger. On the outside, there’s a slight tweak in its design. But on the inside, the wireless charger prototype reportedly comes with an A11 Bionic chip. If it sounds familiar, it’s the same chip that runs the iPhone X....

According to The Information, the company from Cupertino had already entered into discussions with Intel to purchase the latter’s factories in Germany. The news site says the exact location of Intel’s factory in Germany is symbolic; it’s the same place where Intel acquired another chipmaker, Infineon, for US$1.4 billion (~RM5.8 billion) back in 2011. Apple’s decision to purchase Intel’s 5G modem business clearly lines up with its intention of fabricating its own 5G modem in-house....

When it comes to specifications, the every new Mac mini now starts with a quad-core CPU configuration, up to six-core CPU variants as well. In addition, the new Mac mini is also compatible with up to 64GB RAM capacity and SSDs as well. Apple’s Mac mini is also equipped with a host of Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), HDMI, and USB-A ports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVEaL9izgjs One notable addition to the Mac mini is the Apple T2 processor for increased security....

To download the iOS 14 beta, you’ll first need an iPhone that is eligible for it. These phones include both the 1st and 2nd generation iPhone SE, the iPhone 6 series, iPhone 7 series, the iPhone 8 series, the iPhone X, iPhone XR, the iPhone XS series, and the more current iPhone 11 series.

Just like M1, the company said that it continues to focus on power efficiency while maximising the performance of the second-generation Apple Silicon release. Despite still using 5nm architecture, Apple noted that the M2 has an increased number of transistors at 20 billion which is 25% more than M1. The M1 vs M2. [Image: Apple / YouTube.]This helped unlock 50% faster unified memory bandwidth at 100GB/s for M2 which can be obtained with up to 24GB of memory....

In said research note, Kuo also says that Apple intends to finally announce the much rumoured headset in a January 2023 event. But thanks to its price, Kuo predicts that shipments of the device are unlikely to exceed 1.5 million units. Which makes sense, since that kind of price range places it way beyond the average consumer range, and more akin to enterprise tools like the Microsoft HoloLens 2. And it may have the onboard processing power to match the price too....

To be precise, the Apple Music app will be available for download to Samsung Smart TVs sold between the year 2018 and 2020, and in more than 100 countries. This also means that subscribers gain access to more than 60 million songs completely ad-free, music videos, and thousands of playlists that Apples say are “curated by world class music experts and tastemakers”. So, if you happen to own a Samsung Smart TV, you should be able to download the Apple Music app via the brand’s Smart TV app store....

The patent starts by pointing out the drawbacks and limitations of current messaging app. As you’d expect, among them is the ability to edit sent messages. Other popular texting apps like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp are the other obvious ones that lack the ability to edit sent texts. On the other hand, apps that let you do so are fewer in number. Telegram is one that comes immediately to mind....

However, it is going to be a while before CIMB customers are able to add their cards to Apple Pay. Under its current plan, the support for Apple Pay will come sometime in the second half of 2023 according to Ros Yusoff, the Group Chief Technology & Data Officer for CIMB Malaysia. At the moment, CIMB is putting more focus on its mobile app especially now that it has just rolled out the new CIMB OCTO App....
