- AMD Announces the Official Ryzen Launch Date - March 2, 2017
is the official AMD Ryzen CPU launch date.
- Intel Pentium G4620 And G4560 Review: Now With Hyper-Threading
- In the face of AMD's impending Ryzen launch, Intel seems
resigned to
bulking up its low-end offerings to stave off the competition's
historically competitive mainstream CPUs. Despite Intel's careful
segmentation, the more powerful Pentium family unavoidably takes the
shine off of lower-end Core i3s, which cost more and don't always
deliver the extra performance to match. But both of the Pentiums we
looked at today are still slower than Core i3s, i5s, and i7s in
threaded tasks like media encoding and file compression
- ZOTAC unveils two new low-profile GeForce GTX 1050 Ti &
GTX 1050 cards - ZOTAC has added two new low-profile GeForce GTX
1050 and GTX 1050 Ti
graphics cards to its lineup, targeted at small form factor PCs. The
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Low-Profile (ZT-P10500E-10L) comes with a base
clock of 1354 MHz and a 1455 MHz boost clock. The 2GB of GDDR5 memory
is clocked at 7 GHz. ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Low-Profile
(ZT-P10510E-10L) comes with a 1290 MHz base clock and a 1392 MHz boost
clock. Its 4GB of GDDR5 memory is clocked at 7 GHz.
- NEC EA245WMi 24-inch 16:10 IPS Monitor Review - The EA245WMi is a great addition to the EA line.
It embodies every
positive quality we’ve become familiar with in NEC’s products and adds
some nicely updated styling and compatibility with SpectraView II
calibration software. Rather than the heavy, almost armor-plated
appearance of other PA and EA screens, the 245 comes in with a super
slim 6mm bezel and a trim, neat look. Don’t be fooled though, that same
tank-like build quality is still there. And don’t forget the extra
screen real estate afforded by that 16:10 aspect ratio.

Things fan, you may not get all the references, but even if you are not
a familiar with the Netflix series, you will still want to check out
the Stranger Mod
- AI Learns to Write Its Own Code by Stealing from Other
Programs
- Microsoft and University of Cambridge have developed a
machine learning system called DeepCoder that can steal code from
other programs and use it to create it's own program. This A.I. will
eventually be able to create a program from the suggestions of a person
who doesn't know how to code. DeepCoder has learned a process called
program synthesis where it would piece together lines of code to create
a desired result like any programmer would. Machine Learning allows
DeepCoder to quickly scour databases of code and assemble code
according to probability of usefulness.
DeepCoder is becoming very efficient at finding code as it will search
obscure programs that many people wouldn't have thought of. It gets
faster each time that it is given a problem as it creates a database of
code that worked. DeepCoder can create working programs in a fraction
of a second. Right now the A.I. is limited to 5 lines of code, but
using the right coding language, it can create fairly complicated
programs. Others are working on similar tech like the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology that has created a machine learning system that
can fix broken software with working code from other programs.
- Microsoft Issues Some Windows Security Patches in February - While
the majority of security patches won't be released until March's Patch
Tuesday rolls around, Microsoft has taken the decision to
issue some Flash patches for Edge and Internet Explorer, and these
will be arriving today. Exactly what these patches resolve isn't
currently known. Microsoft emailed some of its largest customers to
alert them to the forthcoming patches but went into no details beyond:
Microsoft is planning to release security updates for Adobe Flash
Player. These updates will be offered to the following operating
systems: Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2,
Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2016. No other security
updates are scheduled for release until the next scheduled monthly
update release on March 14, 2017.
- Hair-Width Fiber Reads Data from the Brain - MIT
researchers have developed a hair-thin fiber capable of
transmitting optical, electrical, and chemical signals back and forth
to the brain. The new technology is the result of two years of
development, and with some further improvements and tweaks, could
dramatically change how we understand different brain regions and their
interconnections. Development of the new fiber was a collaboration
between material scientists, chemists, biologists, and other
specialists. The results have been published in the journal Nature
Neuroscience. The team's next goal is to reduce the size of the
fiber even further, and make it closer still to neural tissue
- 5G technology to feature 20Gbps download - A 5G cell
will be able to handle a downlink of at least 20Gbps
and an uplink of 10Gbps via a single mobile base station. It is worth
noting that these are theoretical speeds for a single user if they have
a fixed wireless broadband, and in reality, all users on a cell will
get a portion of that 20Gbps. 5G will also be able to support at least
one million users per square kilometer.
- BlackBerry KEYone: Hands-on video - TCL unveiled
its new premium Android handset, the BlackBerry KEYone. It promises
"unparalleled security", thanks to its "hardened" version of Android,
which includes unique protective features not available on other
Android devices. TCL also says that the handset will offer a full day
of battery life - in fact, at 3,505mAh, it's got the biggest battery of
any BlackBerry phone to date. But perhaps the most notable feature is
the physical QWERTY keyboard - a beloved element of BlackBerry devices
for the company's biggest fans
- iPhone 8 May Pack "Revolutionary" Camera That Snaps 3D Selfies
- The
camera will function by merging the depth information captured by
the IR transmitting and receiving modules with the traditional 2D
images captured by the front camera. This not only could be used for
the iPhone 8's long-rumored iris recognition feature, but even in some
gaming applications -- and future AR/VR experiences -- where users
could place their own 3D-scanned face in the game using a quick selfie.
Today's news of an overhaul to the front-facing camera of the iPhone 8
follows speculation surrounding the potential of Apple dropping Touch
ID and instead focusing on either 3D facial recognition or iris
scanning as the device's main security feature. JPMorgan analyst Rod
Hall has stated that facial recognition could be a more secure
alternative, and help increase Apple Pay adoption with retailers and
financial institutions.
- Apple says that it has fixed most iPhone 6 shutdown issues
with iOS 10.2.1 - Back in November, it was discovered that the
iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, and
6s Plus all had issues that would cause them to shut down without
warning. While not all devices were affected, Apple issued a statement
to TechCrunch to say that it has fixed the issue on most
devices. To be more specific, with iOS 10.2.1 - the latest version of
the OS - 70% of iPhone 6 and 80% of iPhone 6s handsets won't experience
the issue anymore. According to Apple, over 50% of active devices have
already upgraded to version 10.2.1, which on a side note, adds a bit of
context to the news from earlier this week that iOS 10.x is running on
79% of active iOS devices.
- Tucson woman's iPhone 7 catches fire - An 18-year-old
Tucson woman is searching for answers after her iPhone 7
caught fire on Wednesday. Apple, understandably, is investigating
the incident.
- Samsung Makes Its Secure Folder A Downloadable App - Samsung
today released its
Secure Folder through the Galaxy Apps Store. Secure Folder is a
protected space for smartphones that can store files, documents,
images, videos, or other content that the owner wishes to lock away.
Samsung says the Secure Folder can act as a way for people to set up
separate profiles for apps on the phone, as well, ensuring that only
the protected content is available to those profiles. Samsung expects
people will use standard tools such as PIN, pattern, passcode, or
biometric verification (fingerprint) to access and manage the Secure
Folder. The Samsung Secure Folder has ben around for a while, but it
has always been preloaded directly to devices by Samsung. This marks
the first time the app is available on its own as a separate download.
Samsung is making the app available to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge first,
with other models to follow later.
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread Officially No Longer Supported -
Google
has put Android 2.3 Gingerbread out to pasture. The update this
month follows an announcement Google first made in November regarding
Play Services 10.2, which severs backward compatibility with devices
running Android 2.3 and older. Google Play Services is the core code
behind app compatibility across Android platforms. The Play Services
10.2 update jumps from API level 9 to API level 14. This means Play
Services 10.2.0 only supports Android 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich and up.
- Xiaomi releases a second teaser for its Pinecone chips -
The SoCs expected to be unveiled in the coming days are called the
Pinecone V670 and V970 - respectively mid-range and high-range
eight-core chips. The V970 is expected to be produced on a new 10nm
manufacturing process and pack four A73 cores alongside four
power-efficient A53 cores, putting it in close competition with the
Kirin 960, while the mid-range V670 is expected to be produced using a
much older 28nm manufacturing process with eight A53 cores and would be
put in Xiaomi's cheaper phone lineup. Entering the world of
semiconductor design and manufacturing makes a sharp point for how
Xiaomi views itself against its competition in the smartphone and
tablet world and also speaks a lot to how Xiaomi expects to be viewed
by others.
- Samsung's Exynos 9 Chip Uses 10nm Process, Boasts Gigabit
Modem
- Samsung has announced
the Exynos 9 Series 8895 application processor for premium mobile
devices. The chip relies on Samsung's 10nm FinFET process with 3D
transistors. This results in a 27% performance boost while chewing
through 40% less power when put up against Samsung's 14nm tech. The
8895 bakes in support for Category 16 LTE with 5xCA for 1 Gbps
downloads, and Cat 13 LTE with 2xCA for 225 Mbps uploads. Samsung says
the Exynos 9 Series 8895 has an octa-core design with four of Samsung's
own CPUs paired with four ARM Cortex A53 cores. It supports the ARM
Mali G71 GPU for 3D graphics, 4K quality virtual reality, and 4K video
playback up to 120fps. A separate processing unit handles biometric
security (iris and fingerprint) for protecting mobile payments, and a
Vision Processing Unit is able to scan and recognize its surroundings
for panoramic image processing and machine vision. The Exynos 9 Series
8895 is already in mass production and Samsung said it will appear in
devices soon. The company is widely expected to debut its 2017 flagship
phone, the Galaxy S8, in March. The Galaxy S8 will likely rely on the
Exynos 9 Series 8895 processor
- Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 Modem Powers 1.2Gbps Speeds - Qualcomm
today announced
the Snapdragon X20 LTE modem, which it says is the first Category 18
modem capable of download speeds up to 1.2Gbps. The X20 is manufactured
using a 10nm FinFET process. It supports up to 5x20 MHz carrier
aggregation, 4x4 MIMO, and up to three aggregated LTE carriers. The X20
LTE modem uses a new RF transceiver that Qualcomm claims is capable of
receiving up to 12 spatial streams of LTE data. Each downlink supports
256QAM, while uplinks support 64QAM. Other features include all major
carrier technologies, more than 40 LTE frequency bands, LTE Broadcast,
and VoLTE with support for Ultra HD Voice. Last, the Snapdragon X20 LTE
modem supports Dual SIM Dual VoLTE for advanced use cases. Qualcomm
believes the X20 will be ideal for Gigabit LTE networks, which are
expected to bridge the gap between today's 4G networks and what will
eventually become 5G networks. Qualcomm says the X20 is already
sampling, but it won't ship on consumer products until the first half
of 2018.
- Intel Claims LTE Modem to Deliver 1 Gigabit Speeds - Intel
today announced the
XMM 7560 LTE modem, a fifth-generation wireless radio that can
produce broadband-like speeds in a variety of mobile devices. The XMM
7560 is manufactured using Intel's 14nm process and supports LTE
Advanced Category 16 for downloads up to 1 Gbps and Category 13 for
uploads up to 225 Mbps. The Intel XMM 7560 modem supports 5x carrier
aggregation for up to 100 MHz combined bandwidth on the downlink, and
3xCA for up to 60 MHz on the uplink. It also supports 4x4 MIMO and
256QAM. Intel says the XMM 7560 works well with its SMARTi 7 RF
transceiver, which supports up to 35 LTE bands and 230 carrier
aggregation combinations for worldwide compatibility. The XMM 7560 also
packs envelope tracking and other power optimization features to
improve battery life in smartphones, tablets, and PCs. The Intel XMM
7560 will sample during the first half of the year and Intel expects to
see it in consumer devices shortly thereafter. Separately, Intel this
week announced new efforts in its push toward 5G. It is working with
Nokia, AT&T, Telefonica, 5TONIC, Ericsson, and others to define,
prototype, and deliver early 5G products.
- Disney Develops Method for Wirelessly Powering an Entire Room
- Disney has created a prototype living room where 10
objects - a smartphone, a lamp, a fan, an RC car, and more - are
powered wirelessly, no cables required. Unlike existing wireless power
transfer solutions, which mostly require an object to be placed very
close to a wireless charging pad, the objects in Disney's living room
can receive power while freely roaming; you can walk into the room with
a smartphone in your pocket and it will start charging.
- JetPack! Rocketeer in Real Life! - 4K - Given the
jetpack can only fly for four minutes on a full tank, and the crew
only had enough gas for about 15 flights, they had to make sure to
capture every flight from countless angles. But despite the hardware
costing well north of $100,000, how could you not want one after seeing
The Rocketeer come to life?
