According to the latest rumor, the company has supposedly commenced testing of its upcoming SoC, and according to the latest development, it is faster than Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in both the CPU and GPU categories. However, that leaves us with more questions than answers, which we will discuss here. As typical rumors go, no remarks about the Exynos 2500’s efficiency were mentioned when compared to […]
SEGA is said to be working on a Sonic Heroes Remake within Unreal Engine 5. That's what the usually well-informed 'Necro' Felipe Lima' from Portuguese outlet Universo Nintendo has suggested on X when asking if players would like to replay the 2003 title in Epic's latest game engine. This 'suggestion' was later backed by known Atlus/SEGA leaker 'Midori', who posted that the Sonic Heroes Remake in Unreal Engine 5 is "correct". 'Midori' has recently been quite vocal on X about SEGA's upcoming remakes and reboots, including the new Jet Set Radio, Crazi Taxi, Golden Axe, and more. All of these […]
The A18 Pro is said to be Apple’s next 3nm SoC, but just like what the Cupertino giant practiced with the A17 Pro, this silicon is said to exclusively power the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. While expected improvements are in tow, one analyst believes that the new chipset will be limited to a 6-core CPU like its predecessor, and that might not translate into meaningful graphical performance gains. Still, there are other tricks up the A18 Pro’s sleeve that we will discuss here, so let us get started. Unlike the A17 Pro, Apple’s upcoming A18 Pro […]
It appears that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is also getting some upgrades. A new rumor has surfaced that Samsung is going to use a titanium frame for its clamshell foldable phone. The information was shared by a reliable tipster, Tech Reve. Sadly, the account has been deleted since the tweet, but we do know that their track record has been pretty solid, so there is little room for doubt here. Another thing that we are hearing is that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is going to ship with both Exynos and Snapdragon variants. Galaxy Z Flip 6 is receiving […]

The A18 Pro is said to be found in the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max later this year, and according to an alleged Geekbench 6 benchmark run, Apple’s upcoming SoC delivers impressive performance results when compared to the A17 Pro, with the difference reaching double-digits. However, regarding the rest of the competition, we have some thoughts we would like to share with you. Despite these impressive gains, the A18 Pro trails behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 when it comes to multi-core performance, but efficiency numbers yet to be seen A previous Geekbench 6 single-core score […]
A few weeks ago, Toys for Bob unexpectedly split from Activision and Microsoft to become an independent developer once again. However, even in that announcement, the studio based in Novato, California mentioned that they were exploring a partnership with Microsoft for their next game. According to Windows Central, that deal has since been reached. Their sources mention an internal townhall meeting where Matt Booty, who was recently nominated President of Game Content and Studios since he now oversees not only Xbox Studios but also ZeniMax's and Activision's, confirmed the agreement has been finalized. Microsoft also said this was a way […]
Multiple Xbox handheld prototypes are being worked on at Microsoft, according to rumors circulating online. Speaking during the latest episode of the Xbox Two podcast, Windows Central's Jez Corden revealed how the company currently has multiple Xbox handheld prototypes for a system meant to play Xbox games natively. The fact that there are multiple prototypes, however, doesn't mean that the device will go to market, as devices are canned all the time, and Microsoft itself did so with the Surface Mini. While there's the possibility that the Xbox handheld may never make it to market, Jez Corden believes that it […]

Citing "Reliable sources", it is projected that AMD will rely more on Samsung's Foundries in the future which might have to do with TSMC's fabs being booked out entirely due to huge demand from other segments such as […]
Renowned CAPCOM leaker Dusk Golem has revealed that the publisher's next major projects, Resident Evil 9 and Monster Hunter Wilds, will both follow in the footsteps of Dragon's Dogma 2 with an open world design. Here's what Dusk Golem wrote on Twitter: So here's a little tidbit I'll share: CAPCOM often will greenlight new initiatives in 3's closer together. Decent examples are RE7, RE:2 & DMCV, which were all greenlit fairly close together to take advantage of their new RE Engine, and the idea to remake RE:2 inspired them to also take on RE:3 & RE:4 for a remake initiative.

Samsung’s struggles in bringing up the yields of its 3nm GAA process were well-known, but there is a positive update that a tipster provided, claiming that the Korean giant’s foundry has managed to increase that number to three times the original figure. This means that the previous 10-20 percent yields of the 3nm process is now hovering between 30-60 percent. While these are improvements, the company continues to trail behind TSMC, and there are rumors claiming that Samsung placed more stock in its second-generation 3nm GAA process. Second-generation 3nm GAA node rumored to be more promising, with Samsung seemingly targeting TSMC’s […]
