- i7 6950X: Cooling The 10 Core Beast - The crew at Real
Hardware Reviews posted a quick and dirty video highlighting the
cooling requirements of the Intel i7-6950X Extreme Edition processor.
What kind of cooling is required to keep temps in check? How is
overclocking performance on air versus H20?
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB 3DMark Performance Results Leaked
- The
GeForce GTX 1060 is based on the GP106 GPU which should feature
1280 CUDA cores and 80 TMUs. The card comes at clock speeds of 1506 MHz
but boosts all the way up to 1708 MHz. NVIDIA has a massive lead in
terms of core frequencies with TSMC's 16nm FF process node and that
shows as their chips are built to clock beyond 2 GHz when overclocked.
The pixel fill rate for this chip is 72.3 GPixel/s while the texture
fill rate is 159.6 GTexel/s.

- iOS 10 preview: Apple goes back to ignoring the iPad in a
wide-ranging update - In the context of this overextended metaphor, iOS 10 is best thought of as an effort to redo
multiple other rooms in the house, knocking out some
figurative walls and removing metaphorical ugly dropped ceilings.
For the first time in a while, Apple is making notable changes to the
way basic things like the lock screen, the notification center, and
Siri look and work.
- Samsung's Olympic Galaxy S7 Edge Is Ready for the Games - Samsung
today announced
the Galaxy S7 edge Olympic Games Limited Edition smartphone. The
hardware is identical to the consumer version of the S7 edge, but the
Olympic variant packs lots of content specific to the Rio 2016 Summer
Olympic Games. Samsung says the colors of the Olympic Rings will be
featured widely throughout the user interface, such as the home/lock
screens and notification bar. The device will also include
Olympics-themed wallpapers. Samsung plans to give 12,500 of the devices
to athletes along with the Gear IconX Bluetooth headphones. A limited
number (only 2,016) of the Olympic-themed Galaxy S7 edge will be made
available to consumers in Brazil, the United States, China, Germany,
and Korea. Samsung said the Galaxy S7 edge Olympic Games Limited
Edition will be available beginning July 18th, but it did not disclose
pricing. The standard model costs $770.
- The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge Review: Part 2 - The Exynos 8890 variant is generally a step up in
battery life, but the Snapdragon 820 variant is basically
comparable to Exynos 7420 and by extension the Galaxy S6 and Note5. The
Galaxy S7 edge is the only device that is an obvious step up in battery
life for both variants, but this is through sheer battery capacity
rather than any efficiency gains, as the Galaxy S7 edge ends up being a
fairly heavy device in return for its great battery life. Charge time
on both devices is competitive and in-line with expectations.
- Samsung Shows Off First UFS Memory Cards - Samsung today announced
a range of Universal Flash Storage memory cards meant for today's
intense video applications. The UFS spec has been used for embedded
memory modules since 2015, but this is the first time UFS has appeared
in removable memory cards. UFS is a generational leap faster than the
eMMC standard still used by the majority of devices today. Samsung's
new UFS cards have a read speed of 530Mbps, which is five times faster
than that of microSD cards. Samsung says this is fast enough to read an
entire HD movie in about 10 seconds. Write speeds reach 170Mbps, which
is about twice the speed of today's top microSD cards. Samsung says the
fast read/write speeds will be ideal for dSLR cameras, drones, 3D/VR
cameras, and action cameras. In order for the cards to achieve this
performance two sets of connectors are needed, which allow for
simultaneous reading and writing thanks to separate, dedicated paths
for each action. The cards are similar is size to microSD cards, but
have a different shape. The shape and double connector requirements
make the UFS cards incompatible with the today's microSD slots. Samsung
hasn't said if or when the company might introduce UFS cards to its
smartphones or tablets. Moreover, the industry at large has not
publicly agreed to transition from microSD to UFS. Samsung's UFS cards
will be available in 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB capacities.
Pricing and availability were not disclosed.
- Samsung releases July security patch for 'major flagships' - Samsung
has released a
software update for its flagship devices. The company is calling it
a 'maintenance release' but for all intents and purposes it's a
security patch, which addresses a number of critical and high severity
issues.
According to Samsung, the patch is now rolling out to 'major flagship
models' so users should get an OTA update notification soon. In case
you want to speed the process up, the patch is available for some
devices via the Smart Switch desktop app.
- New Yorkers Can Now Buy Train Tickets From Smartphones - Commuters
who ride select Long Island Railroad or Metro-North routes can use the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority's new eTix app to purchase,
activate, and use train tickets. The MTA says mobile ticketing is
available to those who ride LIRR's Port Washington branch or
Metro-North's Hudson Line, with support for all branches/lines due by
the end of August. The app, available to Android and iOS smartphones,
allows commuters to purchase single ride, round-trip, 10-trip, or
weekly tickets. Commuters will need to activate individual tickets when
boarding trains and make sure their phone is available for conductors
to validate each ticket. The MTA says all tickets purchased through the
eTix app will cost the same as those purchased via MTA ticketing
machines, with no extra fees or charges. Refunds for tickets are
available, but limited. eTix supports multiple tickets for
families/groups, employer discounts, and receipts for business travel.
Notably, eTix program tickets are not compatible with the NYC Transit
(subway/bus) nor the NICE (bus) systems. The MTA's eTix app is free to
download from the Google Play Store and iTunes App Store.
