AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X, the flagship Zen 5 CPU, reportedly features a maximum frequency or FMAX of up to 5.85 GHz, the same as Zen 4. AMD's Zen 5 CPUs Might Peak Out With A Maximum Frequency of 5.85 GHz By Default, Ryzen 9 9950X Same As Ryzen 9 7950X The FMAX or peak frequency is the maximum default clock limit allowed within the BIOS for the AMD Ryzen CPUs. The last-generation Ryzen 7000 CPUs based on the Zen 4 core architecture had FMAX set to 5.85 GHz for the top 7950X chip and it looks like that will remain […]
To celebrate its 10th birthday, the Apple Watch Series X is expected to arrive with some notable changes. Although the California-based giant had some grand plans for the upcoming release, but could not go through with them because of severe technological limitations. Regardless, even though we are not getting a design overhaul, we are still getting two models, both of which will reportedly be bigger than the Apple Watch Series 9 and nearly match the Apple Watch Ultra display size. New SoC is also expected to be used in the Apple Watch Series X, which could be the start of […]
Apple has been reported a boatload of times to introduce a periscope zoom lens to both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, making it the first time that this upgrade will not be exclusive to the top tier model like it was last year with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, when it comes to bringing in additional improvements to the tetraprism camera, one analyst believes that these specifications will remain identical to Apple’s premium handset from 2023. This information suggests that we should not hold our breath for some lens upgrades, but we should anticipate other […]

Intel's Entry-Level "Core Ultra 3" Desktop CPUs won't be featured in the Arrow Lake-S family but rather in an existing lineup. Intel Core Ultra 3 "Core i3-Successor" Likely To Be Based on Raptor Lake-S Than Arrow Lake-S Family Architecture Based on the latest information shared by @Jaykihn, the Intel Arrow Lake-S family will not include an entry-level Core Ultra 3 SKU. We know that the lineup is expected to include Core Ultra 9, Core Ultra 7, and Core Ultra 5 SKUs under the "Core Ultra 200" banner but entry-level users might have to stick with existing architectures. With that said, […]
Apple has been reported to add another supply chain partner to its list as it requires the extra workforce to supply the periscope zoom lens for both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. At the time of reporting, it was unclear if the upcoming flagships would be treated to a tetraprism lens with a higher zoom level, but according to the latest update, the smaller iPhone 16 Pro is said to feature a 5x lens, making the handset unchanged from the iPhone 15 Pro Max, assuming we compare these specifications on paper. iPhone 16 Pro Max was […]
AMD is reportedly going to launch its next-gen RDNA 4 "Radeon RX 8000 GPUs, primarily the Navi 48 & Navi 44 chips, in the first half of 2025. AMD RDNA 4-Powered Navi 48 GPUs Target A CES 2025 Release While Navi 44 For Entry-Tier Radeon RX 8000 Series Targets Q2 Release It's been a while since we have seen an update from the Radeon side of things but it looks like AMD is going to stay calm until early 2025 which is when the RDNA 4 action begins. As per @Kepler_L2, it looks like the red team is targeting a […]
A major hardware addition arriving to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max is that both of them will feature a periscope zoom lens, allowing customers to spend less money on the smaller model and save a few bucks in the process. Last year, Apple did not need to have an elaborate supply chain as only the iPhone 15 Pro Max would receive the tetraprism camera upgrade. However, with the two flagships sporting this change, the company must place more orders for them, and according to the latest report, that can only be fulfilled by allowing more manufacturers […]
AMD's Ryzen 9000X3D "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs are expected to feature the same amount of 3D V-Cache as the existing Ryzen 7000X3D chips.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has been hinted by a company executive to be more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 as the transition to custom Oryon cores is not a ‘chump change’ endeavor. Unfortunately, it is difficult to calculate how pricey the upcoming SoC will be because according to the latest rumor, smartphone OEMs have yet to place orders for it. It appears that even Qualcomm’s partners might be hesitant about incorporating the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in their upcoming flagships due to its high price, but their only other option now is MediaTek. Estimated cost per unit […]
Intel might incorporate an upgraded NPU in its Arrow Lake Refresh CPUs for desktop & laptop platforms which will come at a cost.

The NPUs will be limited to Intel Arrow Lake-H/U and Lunar Lake chips with the Core Ultra 200V chips offering up to 48 TOPs that almost match the 50 AI TOPS offered by AMD's Strix APUs. These […]
The use of TSMC’s Small Outline Integrated Circuit Packaging was previously said to be explored by Apple, and there is a chance that the company could take advantage of this technology when introducing its upcoming M5. According to a new report, the company plans to use the same Apple Silicon in its Macs and AI servers, with the advanced packaging technology likely aiding it in achieving that strategy. M5 is currently said to be in the trial production phase on the SoIC technology, with mass production expected to happen from 2025 The California-based giant was previously reported to leverage its […]
