Apple finally included a telephoto lens in its iPhone 15 Pro Max last year, with the upgrade extended to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. This is just one of the many examples of how the Cupertino firm adopts various standards much later than the competition, likely because it wants to offer the best configuration to customers. One other technology that the company is said to bring for the iPhone 18 that rivals like Samsung introduced years ago is variable aperture for the main camera, and according to one analyst, another supplier will provide these parts. Sunny […]
The use of TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process for the M4 series has made Apple’s latest chipsets more thermally efficient, but that does not mean that a capable cooling solution should be ignored from the rest of the hardware configuration. In fact, depending on how robust that solution is, we can actually get more performance from the M4, as demonstrated in the latest Premiere Pro 4K Export test, where the redesigned Mac mini is faster than Apple’s updated 14-inch MacBook Pro. However, one other hardware ends up taking the crown, and we will discuss why this is happening. The 24-inch M4 […]

AMD's Radeon GPUs are witnessing some huge ray tracing performance gains with the latest MESA RADV Vulkan drivers. Steady Optimizations & Development Have Put The RADV Vulkan Way Ahead of AMD's "AMDVLK" Drivers, Up To 200% Ray-Tracing Gain With Radeon GPUs The RADV Vulkan driver designed for AMD's graphics cards has started to see big improvements in recent times, especially when it comes to hardware support, constant optimization, and bug fixes. Ray-tracing in Linux is something that has always been held back due to a lack of "mature" driver and software resources, but it looks like MESA has your back, […]
As part of its Q2 FY 2025 financial presentation, SEGA has announced the sale of Amplitude Studios, the Paris-based studio known as the developer of Endless Space, Endless Legend, Dungeon of the Endless, Endless Space 2, Humankind, and more recently, Endless Dungeon.
