After finishing a frustrating boss fight in Funko Fusion against a never-ending stream of baddies in a grocery store, I was finally done with Hot Fuzz’s fourth level. I could move on. A cutscene played but the audio was missing. That happens a lot in t...

At the beginning of the year, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth launched a hell of an opening salvo. The latest installment in the long-running Like a Dragon/Yakuza series is comically full of things to do. On one hand, it’s a turn-based RPG epic, splitti...
It's seemingly confirmed that Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a remaster, despite the fact it really doesn't need one. Sony is focusing on making the games look a bit cleaner and visually striking instead of rebooting or porting franchises that people actually care about. Although it hasn't been officially confirmed that a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster is coming, it's quite likely since the rumor has been floating around since 2022. People now believe this is happening because the supposed remastered version has been rated by the ESRB, listening to PC and PlayStation 5 as the platforms. In the latest Game […]
A new Kirin chipset is expected to be announced later this year, with Huawei rumored to use its upcoming silicon in the Mate 70 series. So far, all of the former Chinese giant’s SoC releases have been disappointing, but that is no fault of Huawei, as the U.S. trade ban prevents it from procuring cutting-edge wafers from TSMC. However, the upcoming Kirin version could deliver the most significant performance leap in a long time, with a rumor claiming that it will be faster than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Additionally, the interface fluidity of devices powered by this chip, which […]
The Kirin 9000S enabled Huawei to regain its lost market in China, staging a comeback that is making rivals like Apple nervous and probably frustrating the Biden administration as their continued efforts to stifle the competition overseas have been fruitless. However, as Huawei shifts towards mass production of advanced chipsets for smartphones and PCs, it will have to take away production resources from all Kirin 9000 variants, as mentioned by one tipster. Huawei is also focusing on its in-house HarmonyOS Next platform, which should be optimized for its next-generation Kirin chipsets It is not just smartphones and tablets that Huawei […]
Huawei was previously rumored to be working on a new silicon that was only referred to as the ‘Kirin PC Chip’ and while its current name was severely unappealing, its rumored performance was the complete opposite, with its multi-core performance said to come close to Apple’s M3. We did predict that it would take a long time for the company to develop this SoC, but we were incorrect in our assessment, at least according to one tipster, who claims that the chipset will launch in May or June and is expected to be found in the new Qingyun notebook family.

As rumors pick up the pace around Huawei and its upcoming P70 series, so do the claims that the former Chinese giant is developing a flagship Kirin chipset. One tipster talks about this in a new post but fails to mention other important details. Regardless, there are a heap of earlier reports that talk about the same silicon, which will allow us to get to the bottom of this rumor. Huawei was previously said to be working on the Kirin 9010 for the P70 series, but it could just be a modified version of the Kirin 9000S The Kirin 9000S […]
Huawei’s re-entry into the smartphone market with its Kirin 9000S is regarded as a miracle in this industry, but that does not alter the fact that it is significantly slower than the competition. This is to be expected, as SMIC, Huawei’s foundry partner, is currently limited to mass producing 7nm wafers on older DUV equipment, meaning that technologically, it is inferior to Samsung and TSMC and will likely trail behind them in the long run. However, these limitations do not mean that future Kirin SoCs have to continue being slower, with the latest rumor claiming that the Mate 70 lineup […]
Huawei is working on a new smartphone launch, and according to the detailed specifications shared by a tipster, it will be powered by a new chipset, dubbed the Kirin ‘K9.’ Whether or not it is a rebranded version of the Kirin 9000S, we discuss further in our findings, so read on. ‘K9’ could just be a shorter name for the Kirin 9000S, but tipster does not mention it On Weibo, the official name of Huawei’s smartphone was not mentioned by Digital Chat Station, but Huawei Central was ahead of the curve and stated that the rumored specifications belong to the […]
SMIC may not be limited to the 7nm process soon, as a new report states that the Chinese semiconductor is pushing forward with its 5nm technology. However, instead of manufacturers such as TSMC that use advanced EUV machinery, SMIC is being forced to mass produce those ‘cutting-edge’ wafers on its existing DUV equipment, which will likely become a costly venture for the company. SMIC to likely receive billions in subsidies from the government, allowing it to successfully push forward with its 5nm process; no word on the estimated yield With Huawei expected to launch the P70, P70 Pro, and P70 […]
Nintendo has officially announced that it is suing PocketPair, the creators of Palworld, in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. In a statement on NintendoCoLtd on X, Nintendo filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court on September 18, 2024. This lawsuit aims to seek an injunction against infringement and damages after PocketPair allegedly infringed multiple patents in Palworld. This news isn't surprising, except that it didn't come sooner. Palworld was first released in January 2024. In the game, there are plenty of "Pals" that look incredibly similar to the creatures in Pokemon, to the point that it's bordering […]
