A game doesn’t have to be newly released for it to require some guidance to get through, as this week’s batch of tips will prove. From the OG Final Fantasy 7 to Metal Gear Solid 2, there’s some older games that people have been recently dipping into th...
A teardown of the M4 iPad Pro went live a few hours before, showing various internal changes to Apple’s flagship tablet. Fortunately, where you may have missed out on some crucial details, we spotted them in the latest disassembly video, with the 13-inch version having some attributes that will make repairs significantly easier. However, the entire process is not without its headaches, as you will soon find out. Two batteries of the M4 iPad Pro can be removed using ‘pull tabs’ and that too, without disassembling the entire tablet The latest teardown of the M4 iPad Pro was posted by […]
The next generation of consoles might be closer than we thought, at least for Xbox fans. Today, Call of Duty leaker TheGhostofHope relayed a rumor from trusted sources that the next Xbox console might launch in late 2026, way earlier than most analysts and fans predicted, with Call of Duty as a launch day title. To be fair, this is not the first time we have heard of a potential late 2026 launch for the console. YouTuber RedGamingTech first reported the rumor in December 2023, adding that Microsoft could pick an AMD Ryzen Zen 5 CPU as the Zen 6 […]
The new iPad Pro family is scheduled to launch on May 7, during Apple’s ‘Let Loose’ event. So far, the company has done a tremendous job in preventing hardware leaks of its latest tablets but looking at the company’s past custom chipset releases, we assumed that the newer models would sport the M3 chipset. However, the latest report states that the technology giant could skip this Apple Silicon and introduce the new M4, granting the new iPad Pro models advanced AI capabilities. In short, we could see Apple’s first AI-centric products getting announced very soon. The report shares no M4 […]
Qualcomm officially took the wraps off the Snapdragon X Elite, revealing that there was not one but three SKUs that will be found in various premium notebooks, with the fourth one being the less powerful Snapdragon X Plus. The SoC was recently benchmarked in the upcoming Microsoft Surface Laptop 6, operating at 4.00GHz, suggesting that it is one of the two versions that supports boost clock technology. The scores show that Qualcomm’s latest and greatest silicon continues to outpace Apple’s M3, but it has yet to overtake the higher-end chipsets. Snapdragon X Elite running in the Surface Laptop 6 is 16 […]
Qualcomm is not the only company to claim that the Snapdragon X Elite is faster than Apple’s M3, as Microsoft is also planning a slew of comparisons to showcase the upcoming chipset’s capabilities. According to people familiar with the software giant’s plans, it intends to reveal some demos of the notebook silicon in an attempt to highlight that the M3 is the inferior SoC. In multi-core performance, Qualcomm claims that the Snapdragon X Elite is 21 percent faster than the M3, conveniently leaves out single-core results Microsoft is gearing up for its event in Seattle next month, with The Verge reporting that […]
Apple's in-house chips are some of the finest in terms of performance and efficiency. So much so that I have been meaning to upgrade to a Mac myself, but it appears that all M1, M2, and M3-powered Macs have a severe flaw that cannot be fixed. The unfixable GoFletch flaw found in the Apple Silicon can completely break any encryption Researchers have discovered a flaw they are calling GoFetch, and this flaw is found in Apple's M1, M2, and M3 series of chipsets. This flaw allows someone to extract security keys from these chips, and this extraction breaks all encryption […]
A short while after Qualcomm had officially unveiled the Snapdragon X Elite, the company claimed that its latest ARM-based silicon is up to 21 percent faster than Apple’s M3 in multi-core performance. When it comes to being the fastest SoC between the two, Qualcomm was correct in its claims, but not that much regarding accuracy, as you will find out shortly after we take a deeper dive into the latest performance comparison. Snapdragon X Elite is only 16 percent faster than the M3 in multi-core performance, and that too while sporting a higher core count Just recently, Samsung’s Galaxy Book […]
The Snapdragon X Elite was announced in late October, and shortly after, Apple countered with its first 3nm chipsets for the Mac lineup, the M3, M3 Pro, and the M3 Max, which also launched in the same month. The San Diego firm has come out with a bold statement now, claiming that its latest SoC is up to 21 percent faster than the M3 in multi-core performance. However, despite supposedly having the edge, a Qualcomm PR manager says that the experience will be different, and that has to do with both chipsets powering different operating systems. Qualcomm PR manager hints […]
Apple has been reported on multiple occasions to transition from mini-LED technology to OLED on the 2024 iPad Pro models, giving both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch a serious display upgrade, according to one analyst who provides his predictions on the premium tablet range. One of those predictions is that the newer models will be equipped with Apple’s 3nm M3 chipset. Analyst believes that the 2024 iPad Pro models will ship up to 8 million units, which is lower than mini-LED versions, possibly due to the high price Though analyst Ming-Chi Kuo did not predict the launch timeline of the 2024 […]
The latest benchmarks of Apple's M3 CPUs are in and the M3 Pro specifically has secured the top position in PassMark's single-thread benchmark. Apple M3 Pro Grabs Away The Top Single-Core CPU Spot From Intel's Core i9-14900K In PassMark Benchmark The Intel Core i9-14900K CPU became the fastest single-threaded chip in the PassMark benchmark last month when it made its debut but it didn't take long for Apple's M3 CPU family to replace it as the new fastest chip on the block. The benchmark database now includes performance scores of all three M3 SKUs which include the M3 8-Core, M3 […]
Apple unveiled three new M3 Macs during its October 30 ‘Crazy Fast’ event, but it was not like the company decided to release these models at the 11th hour. According to the latest evidence, the technology giant has planned for months to get the new hardware onto shelves, as they have been sitting in a warehouse since July of this year. Apple released two new versions of Rosetta for macOS 13.5, a build that has been out since July, indicating that the M3 Macs were ready for months Earlier, it was reported that Apple was forced to launch the new […]
The Intel Core i9-11900K, a three-year-old CPU, running on DDR4 memory has set a new world record, dethroning the 14900KS with DDR5. Old Intel Core i9-11900K CPU With DDR4 Memory Sets New World Record, Outshines New Core i9-14900KS With DDR5 Memory The Intel Rocket Lake CPUs have been regarded as a "Waste of Sand" bringing in small uplifts in performance while regressing in the core count compared to the generation that was released prior. However, it looks like overclockers have found a new purpose for these chips & when tuned right, they can surpass even the best chips available on […]
