Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. 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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Intel's Gaudi AI accelerators haven't managed to hit its "modest" quarterly revenue, as Team Blue fails in attracting market interest. Intel Misses Out On "Safe" Revenue Target For Gaudi AI Accelerators, Posing Questions On The Firm's Strategy Team Blue's business in pretty much all segments, whether it is in the x86 markets or even the AI industry, isn't going too well since competitors have ramped up their solutions, giving Intel little to no chance of creating a clientele based similar to the likes of NVIDIA and AMD. In the recent Q3 2024 earnings, Intel's CEO Pat Gelsinger revealed (via The […]
SpaceX's multi billion dollar Starship Human Landing System (HLS) rocket for NASA's Artemis program to land the first humans on the Moon since the Apollo program will have at least two floors and be capable of carrying a crew of 20 astronauts suggest fresh details on X. While SpaceX has been busy testing the full Starship test in Boca Chica, Texas, the firm has shared little details about the $2.9 billion contract that NASA awarded it in 2021 to build the HLS. Now, according to an educator who recently visited SpaceX's Texas facilities, Starship HLS' early design mock ups include […]
Apple launched the new M4 MacBook Pro models earlier this week, and the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips really surprised us with their performance ratio compared to older models and the competition. In a new comparison video, YouTuber Vadim Yuryev from Max Tech stacks the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips benchmarks against the Intel Ultra 9 285K and AMD Ryzen 9950X. It can be observed that Apple has managed to pull off a fantastic feat of engineering that delivers enhanced computational and graphical gains. Apple's M4 Pro and M4 Max chips outperform desktop-class Intel Ultra 9 285K and […]
The Pixel 10 lineup launching in late 2025 will be the recipient of the Tensor G5, with the latter being Google’s first SoC that will reportedly use TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3E’ architecture. Partial specifications of the chipset, which include a new CPU cluster and ray tracing support, were discussed in a separate report, but sadly, the company will not use in-house cores like Qualcomm has employed in the Snapdragon 8 Elite. So what do all of these changes translate to when talking about the latest benchmark leak? In a word, ‘disappointment,’ as you will find out soon. The latest benchmark leak […]
Epic Games has announced that Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix is live now on the popular free-to-play battle royale game. Following the record-breaking example set with Fortnite Season OG, the island has been reset to the Chapter 2 map, albeit with several twists that will unroll throughout the season. Starting right now, the Agency grounds are now known as The Doggpound, the new headquarters and home base for Snoop Dogg's enterprise. Players who venture there will have the opportunity to fight him and turn him into an ally, as well as obtain his Snoop's Drum Gun Mythic weapon. In the second […]
This year’s latest operating system for compatible Macs, macOS Sequoia, which was released last month, arrives with a truckload of new features such as iPhone Mirroring, Passwords app, Window Tiling, and more. While these additions are nice to have, we believe that Apple does not get enough credit for making each of its platforms memory efficient, so its competition needs to get the same tasks done by incorporating more RAM. When running macOS Sequoia 15.1, an owner of what appears to be an extremely older Mac model shows that the machine can boot to the desktop with a laughable sub-1GB […]

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is seemingly doing well for itself so far. It had already broken Steam concurrency records for a BioWare and EA single-player premium game yesterday, and the numbers have improved since, with a new peak of 77.4K registered twelve hours ago. However, for the time being, there are no plans to make any story DLCs for it. That's what Rolling Stone reports as part of an interview with Dragon Age: The Veilguard Creative Director John Epler. The reason is fairly straightforward: BioWare isn't a large team nowadays, and they are currently focused on making the next Mass Effect […]
While many Thermal Grizzly products will have full compatibility with AMD Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs, some won't. Thermal Grizzly issues a notice, declaring support for AMD Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs and listing all the compatible products AMD Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs are going to be released soon, starting with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which is expected on 7th November.
