The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 was introduced for the first time several months after Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The new SoC was marketed as a slower version of the company’s flagship SoC, giving phone makers the opportunity to charge less for their devices without making tradeoffs regarding high-end features. This approach is said to be followed once again with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, with one individual stating that the announcement will happen in the first quarter of 2025. Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 launch makes much more sense, as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be quite an […]

The development of the Apple Vision Pro 2 has not been halted, despite the first AR headset failing to garner the much-needed reception, with a previous estimate stating that the U.S. had yet to see 100,000 shipments. Regardless, an analyst points out that the new head-mounted wearable will ship with a brand new M5 chipset, delivering incredible compute performance that should elevate the user experience while pointing out various additions that could surge the successor’s popularity. Design of the Apple Vision Pro 2 could remain unchanged, reducing production costs and possibly contributing to a lower retail price Alongside the low-cost […]

The PlayStation 5 Pro will apparently have little trouble running games at 120 FPS, according to a new report. During the latest episode of the Moore's Law is Dead Broken Silicon podcast, host Tom confirmed to have been sent footage of a game running on PlayStation 5 Pro from an unnamed developer.

With more work and […]

The two 4K micro-OLED panels found in the Apple Vision Pro are estimated to cost $228, totaling $456, making it one of the most expensive components to be found in a consumer device and undoubtedly one of the biggest reasons for that ludicrous $3,499 price tag. The Cupertino behemoth likely intends to lower these costs with the affordable version slated to arrive sometime in 2025. Apple is reportedly sampling displays from another supplier, but these will not be micro-OLED technology and will feature a pixel density that is less than half the value that the current mixed-reality headset’s panels resonate. Low-cost […]
