Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

NVIDIA's Mainstream GPUs Still The Most Popular Choice Among Gamers on Steam, AMD & Intel Nowhere Close NVIDIA and AMD are about to introduce their new GPUs in a month or two, while the existing GPU market seems to be in favor of NVIDIA, at least as per the Steam Survey. Both are the biggest GPU manufacturers in the PC hardware industry, but NVIDIA is able to keep its hold in various parts of the world […]
As production of the first-generation Apple Vision Pro is set to end by the end of the year, it hints that the company will pool its resources towards an affordable mixed-reality headset, which has been reported to launch sometime in 2025. However, it is entirely possible that there is a long waiting time for the less pricey headset because an analyst predicts that production has been delayed well beyond 2027. There are various reasons why this would happen, but for now, the next Apple Vision Pro slated to replace the current one will be its direct successor and is said […]
The first PlayStation 5 Pro teardown video was shared online today, providing a better look at the new console launching in a few days worldwide. The video, which was shared on YouTube by Brazilian channel TAG, provides a good look at the console's internal components, cooling solution and more, and it is a very interesting watch even for those who don't speak Portuguese and want to see how much the console differs from the base model. As confirmed in the teardown video above, the PlayStation 5 Pro features a major repairability improvement that grants easy access to the system's CMOS […]
Samsung's ambitions of supplying HBM products to NVIDIA aren't over yet, as the firm announced that their 5th-gen HBM3E memory is slated to be used in NVIDIA's flagship AI accelerators. Samsung's Hopes For HBM Adoption Are Pretty Much Alive, As The Korean Giant Reveals HBM3E Supply To NVIDIA In Q4 The Korean giant was hit with a massive "business shock" when it was revealed that the firm has been unable to secure NVIDIA as an HBM customer, citing that the process has been delayed indefinitely, which created the assumption that Samsung has failed to establish its presence in NVIDIA's supply […]
While the PS5 Pro isn't officially out until November 7, some people have started getting their hands on Sony's revised PlayStation 5 console. An unboxing video was posted a couple of days ago and quickly taken down; now, Brazilian content creator Brunno Fast has also managed to secure a console and subsequently shared the full spec sheet document included in the box. By far the biggest surprise is that Sony added 2GB of DDR 5 RAM. These are likely to be reserved for the OS so that game developers can fully utilize the 16 GB of GDDR6 for the actual […]
The pricing of the M4 Mac mini was nailed to absolute perfection because Apple not only continues to sell the base model for $599, it has topped it out by offering 16GB RAM as standard instead of 8GB RAM that shipped with the previous-generation models, along with 256GB of internal storage. However, as you might have guessed, Apple has the liberty to charge a hefty premium if you want extra RAM and SSD configurations, and when you do the calculations, you will find that if you just double the memory and storage, the price is the same as ordering another base […]
At RazerCon 2024, Razer announced a new entry in its popular Kraken headset series—the Kraken V4 Pro. The pro model joins the new Kraken V4 and V4 X, which were both released back in August of this year. Whereas the V4 X headset is a wired model, the V4 and V4 Pro are wireless offerings offering THX Spatial Audio and Razer Chroma RGB lighting. The major difference between the two wireless models? The Pro model comes with Razer’s Sensa HD haptics and an OLED control HUB. Another difference is the price tag: the regular V4 sells for $179.99, whereas the […]
RADV driver fix delivers an incredible performance boost on RDNA 2 hardware using FSR 2, reducing the performance gap that existed for two years. Valve engineer fixes problems with the RADV driver by reworking just ten lines of code to deliver a 228% boost in performance in FSR2 titles The Mesa 24.3 has finally fixed the major issue with the RADV(Radeon Vulkan) driver, which led to inferior performance compared to AMD's proprietary AMDVLK/AMDGPU-PRO Vulkan driver. This performance gap existed for nearly 2 years when the FSR 2 was turned on in games. It has been successfully fixed by Valve's Linux […]
Logitech has been etched into the minds of gaming hardware enthusiasts whenever they hunt for quality-focused mice or keyboards. Whether it is a basic or advanced peripheral that is kitted out with a multitude of buttons, the Swiss company has a positive history of delivering quality products in various price brackets. Today, Amazon has discounted not one but four gaming mice up to 41 percent, and these cater to every budget and requirement. If you require a mouse that offers rudimentary functionality or one that touts the latest sensors and technology, we have got you covered. Starting with the Logitech […]
Google was earlier believed to have started testing the Tensor G5 for its Pixel 10 series that will likely launch in late 2025, and it is typical for such chipsets to be spotted on Geekbench 6’s benchmarking databases several months before the official launch. The upcoming SoC obtained a disappointingly low score in both single-core and multi-core tests, but it turns out that it was not actually the Tensor G5 that was getting tested but an unreleased Tensor G4 variant equipped with a PowerVR GPU and a different CPU cluster. Imagination Technologies, responsible for integrating the PowerVR DXT-48-1536 in the […]
A small number of Apple Vision Pro users who drive the $3,499 head-mounted wearable would likely be complaining of fatigue, and that is because the device ships with just a Solo Knit Band. Since there is nothing at the top, the headset’s extra weight might make it cumbersome to use after prolonged sessions, but that will not be a problem for much longer because a Belkin Head Strap will soon be available to purchase for a relatively affordable $49.95. The Belkin Head Strap would be designed to bring extra comfort to the Apple Vision Pro, as demonstrated during the WWDC […]
