The introduction of 3nm GAA technology commenced in 2022, when Samsung stated it had initiated mass production of its cutting-edge manufacturing process, and it would bring a wave of performance and efficiency advantages compared to the company’s 5nm node. Fast-forward to 2024 and almost heading into 2025, the Korean giant is said to be struggling to improve yields and is finding every possible solution to climb out of the hole that it has dug itself into. A report claims that despite a multitude of efforts, the 3nm GAA yields are three times less than the minimum limit required for mass […]
Apple might have taken its time to bring forward Apple Intelligence, but it is now working aggressively to bring up new features and upgrades and plans to keep evolving the technology. While the AI-infused capabilities being incorporated in Siri and other apps are noteworthy, the company's Senior Vice President has recently stated that the services used for bringing Apple Intelligence advancements ahead are, in fact, very basic, and it is a deliberate choice to keep the setup this way.

The September 9th event unveiled some major products, including the much-awaited launch of the iPhone 16. The star of the show remained the new iPhone series, but the company also introduced some great upgrades in processing power by introducing the A18 Pro bionic chipset, which is considered to be the most advanced chip to date. Compared to its predecessor, the A17 Pro, it is said to deliver some massive improvements in performance. The A18 Pro chipset introduced with the iPhone 16 lineup is super efficient and outperforms the A17 Pro chipset in processing power While many have been hooked to […]
The A18 Pro chip in the iPhone 16 Pro brought impressive single and multi-core performance gains, reaching the level of the company's M1 chip from four years ago. While the chip is still based on TSMC's 3nm architecture, the company stated at its event that it is using a new process, which could allow it to further its distance from last year's A17 Pro chip. The company also used other methods to enhance the performance of the iPhone 16 and the A18 chip by improving its thermal design, which should have a positive impact on the overall performance of the […]
A boatload of hardware was announced at Apple’s ‘It’s Glowtime’ event, including two AirPods 4 models that come with the option of Active Noise Cancellation and one without. Given that these wireless earbuds also feature the company’s latest H2 chip and are significantly more affordable, one might assume that the new AirPods Max will also be treated with the same hardware. Sadly, that is wishful thinking as the premium wireless headphones come saddled with a chip which is now four years old, making us wonder if these are positioned as a premium audio product or a fashion statement made for […]

The Taylor plant in in Texas was established to realize Samsung’s vision of mass producing wafers on next-generation technologies that would utilize the GAA, or ‘Gate All Around’ process. Unfortunately, the Korean giant has hit yet another snag when it comes to yields for its 2nm GAA node, with a new report stating that the company has been forced to withdraw personnel from its facility. Repeated delays in mass producing wafers on the cutting-edge 2nm GAA process forced Samsung to withdraw personnel from its plant The Taylor hub was initially planned to mass produce wafers of advanced processes below the […]
"Its Glowtime" event was held on Monday, and it unveiled a plethora of devices with many noteworthy changes. Among the major upgrades, the earbuds saw quite a few advancements this time around, be it another variant of AirPod 4 with active noise cancelation or the AirPods Pro 2 featuring a comprehensive hearing health setup that would even allow for the accessory to work as a hearing aid. However, the features are not the only thing Apple has been working on, as the fourth-generation AirPods no longer rely on the physical Setup button at the back of the charging case. Instead, […]
The iPhone range has always lagged behind the competition in battery charging speeds, and we cannot confirm whether Apple introduced this limitation to increase longevity or if it did so because it adopts the newest standards slower than the rest of the industry. Fortunately, where the iPhone 16 family is involved, it is possible that we see wired charging speeds supported up to 45W, thanks to the latest certification leak. Last year’s iPhone 15 series could not even touch 30W, iPhone 16 finally competes with Samsung’s Galaxy S24 models in this regard A regulatory body called China Quality Certification Centre […]
