Here is a closer look at the details. Tipster claims that most Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 flagships will not even feature improved technologies and will just offer a chipset upgrade On Weibo, […]
A new report published by Rock, Paper, Shotgun reveals that the Embracer Group recently canceled a sequel to 2009's third-person shooter game Red Faction: Guerrilla. The game was not in development at Volition, the original creator of Red Faction, which was shut down last year following the disappointing sales of the Saints Row reboot.

The launch of the Apple Vision Pro in eight countries outside of the U.S. may not be sufficient for the technology titan to continue work on the second-generation model, as a new report claims that development of the Apple Vision Pro 2 has been suspended. Instead, the company is focusing more on its upcoming low-cost version, which is said to launch in late 2025. It appears that waning demand for the $3,499 headset likely discouraged Apple’s ambitions as the path to profitability might not justify the billions being poured into developing a premium successor. Apple Vision Pro lineup was originally […]
Apple introduced the M4 in its latest 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models, and according to one analyst, the company is not wasting any time in prepping the new wave of MacBook Pro models that will feature the same SoC, as these models are slated to arrive in late 2024.

M4 MacBook Pro displays for the 14-inch and 16-inch versions are said to commence […]
SMIC, Huawei’s foundry partner, was recently reported to have successfully developed the 5nm process and that too, without the help of EUV machinery. The first recipient of this lithography will likely be a future Kirin chipset that will fuel Huawei’s upcoming Mate 70 series. Now, according to one rumor, the Chinese firm has witnessed a new milestone in its 5nm progression, with one individual claiming that there has been a successful tape-out and small-scale production may have started. Without the use of EUV machinery, Huawei’s 5nm chipset yields could be low and will be expensive to mass produce Despite the […]

Details about Monolith Productions' Wonder Woman game have surfaced alongside concept art. The art and first details of the game 'leaked' through an online marketing survey, which was picked up by various outlets (including DSOGaming).

Apart from introducing its Mate 70 flagship smartphone series later in the year, Huawei is said to launch HarmonyOS NEXT, its actual in-house operating system, which will give the former Chinese giant the freedom to rid itself of Google’s Android and the looming threat of the U.S. However, to sever any linkage with foreign entities, Huawei is said to remove all source code from HarmonyOS NEXT, including Linux and Android.
