Intel 'Tiger Lake' 11th Gen Core

New Intel ‘Tiger Lake’ 11th Gen Core processors for thinner and lighter laptops unveiled

Intel 11th Gen “Tiger Lake” Processors will make new laptops thinner and lighter

Along with the new processors, Intel unveiled the Intel Evo which should make it easier for consumers to find the laptop they are looking for and get the most out of it.

While it remains disappointing that the company has not made progress in terms of 7-nanometer architecture like competitor AMD, Intel is trying to make the 11th generation of processors more appealing to consumers.

Intel Evo is Intel’s “ultrabook” initiative. 11th generation Intel Evo certified laptops will wake up in less than 1 second, have 9 hours on a 1080p display battery life, and fast charging technology.

But let’s talk about new processors. Tiger Lake chips come in two packages: one with 12 to 28-watt and one with 7 to 14-watt. Thanks to this manufacturers have more flexibility in designs.

The fastest Tiger Lake chip will be the i7-1185G7 with Intel Xe graphics and speeds between 3 and 4.8Ghz Turbo. For laptops, the fastest processor is the i7-1160G7 with Iris Xe graphics and 1.2 to 4.4Ghz Turbo frequency. Overall you will notice up to 20% more processor performance and graphics compared to the previous generation Ice Lake.

As for Xe graphics, they are not a replacement for a discrete graphics card for gaming fans, but Intel showed impressive levels of performance. For example, they compared an 11th generation processor to Xe graphics and the Nvidia MX350 where the first generated 55fps and the latter 50fps. AMD Ryzen 4800U reached a maximum of 31fps.

To achieve a higher frequency than the previous generation, Intel has used a transistor processing process called “SuperFin”. Intel says these processors represent the biggest improvement in performance and speed over a generation. A 7-nanometer architecture would definitely be what we expect from Intel, however, the company still finds potential in 10-nanometers.

The new Tiger Lake processors debut today in several laptop models from the manufacturer ASUS, Dell, and Acer.

Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G

Qualcomm brings the best of smartphones into laptops with Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G

At IFA 2020 the company introduced the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G which promises significant improvements

Exactly in time ahead of IFA Berlin Qualcomm introduces the new generation of Snapdragon Compute chips. The Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G will bring up to 50% better performance, battery lasting several days, 5G connectivity, better security, and AI capabilities compared to the previous platform.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The 5G connection works with both mmWave and Sub-6, it will have multi-gigabit and Wi-Fi 6.and supports Bluetooth 5.1 The audio and camera experience has also been improved, while the “Aqstic” system cancels out echoes and noises to dim the outside environment. As for the camera, the processor aims to bring better performance to the PC, as it can support recording up to 4K HDR and cameras up to 32MP.

Two 4K screens can be supported with a single USB-C cable. Qualcomm’s AI Engine will also be included in AI options such as “accelerated eye contact” in video calls and others will be used for business meetings.

Qualcomm did not explain the improvements compared to the previous generation but is more interested in comparing it to Intel processors. Specifically, it claims that the 8cx Gen 2 has the same performance as a 10th generation Intel Core i5 chip.

In terms of mobile connectivity, the 8cx Gen 2 has the same X24 LTE and X55 5G modem as the first model, but it remains in the hands of the device manufacturer what to put and what to leave. Although the first 8cx model debuted in December 2018, the first 5G laptops only started coming this year. As for the 8cx Gen 2, Qualcomm says we will see the first devices starting this year with the Acer Spin 7, Acer’s first 5G laptop.

Samsung has chosen a different path, of a 5G laptop with 11th generation Intel processor and the company’s own 5G modem.

Xiaomi revealed the third generation of under-display camera

ZTE may be the first company to launch an under-screen camera phone, but soon there will be strong competition

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has today introduced the third generation of under-screen camera. This manufacturer had warned this type of camera technology in June last year.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Xiaomi will soon incorporate selfie cameras under the screen. The company unveiled the “third-generation” technology of on-screen cameras showing us what to expect from Xiaomi phones in the future. According to the company, for the first time, phone screens will be complete without cutting or splitting the selfie camera and without the need for motor mechanisms such as “pop-up.”

Xiaomi says it has used an overlay of pixels on the screen which allow light to pass through without compromising the quality of the screen.

Xiaomi has highlighted the third-generation camera module under the screen in a post on its official blog, and the Chinese company says the sensor is invisible thanks to its “self-developed pixel arrangement” with double the number of horizontal pixels and vertical, thus achieving the same pixel density as the rest of the screen. This means that you will not be able to notice the camera module below the screen, leading to a more comprehensive full-screen design.

Xiaomi also says that it has changed the camera algorithms so that its under-screen modules provide the same image quality as conventional selfie cameras. The company claims that the picture quality of this camera is the same as a normal camera however this remains to be seen.

When will this technology debut? According to the company, mass production of smartphones with this camera will start in 2021.

Get the Hitman and Shadowrun Collection for free now at Epic Games Store

The latest Epic Games Store free games are two great ones, both involve being quite careful and secretive

It’s Hitman to satisfy your need to create detailed assassinations, and then there’s the Shadowrun Collection to let you hack megacorps like an elf.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Hitman was a comeback as the series had little trouble in Absolution and boasts some of the most detailed sandboxes you will ever find. Sapienza in particular is very special, it is a spacious, elaborate level where you have an entire coastal city, complete with luxury residences and secret underground lab as your playground.

The Shadowrun Collection brings you three games, but you can skip the first one, Shadowrun Returns. It is a good RPG that is completely surpassed by its sequels. Since it is independent and the story is not one of its strengths, you better go straight to Dragonfall. They are all online RPGs set in a land where magic has appeared, turning humans into orcs and elves, and letting humans wreak havoc. You can get into tactical confrontation like a samurai or use drones to cross obstacles, it’s super.

Both are free until September 3rd, so hurry to get them as you have a few days left.

Lord of The Rings: Gollum Teaser Video

The Lord of The Rings: Gollum looks fantastic in this teaser

Just a few months after the world was amazed by the footage of a first Unreal Engine demo on the PS5 another long-awaited title gets the treatment of the long-awaited console resolution. The Lord of The Rings: Gollum is a game from Daedalic Entertainment which in this teaser from IGN reveals nothing more than resolution and high level of graphic detail.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

But Daedalic has decided to share details about the game that is expected to come in 2021. The main axis of the game dynamo revolves around stealth mode, a series of secret and insidious actions that suit our protagonist, as it will be a non-combat experience. The player’s decisions will also give direction to the game, extending to what J.R.R Tolkien has already set for Gollum and a story adapted behind the original books.

The game will be divided into levels and segments, some of which are open-world, alternative routes, and secret passages to explore. Pretty much-expected focus on vertical parkour and rich environments inspired by Tolkien’s vision for Middle-earth.

PS5 skins

These PS5 skins will be the most beautiful thing you will see today

In a series of mock-ups for the PS5 compiled by DBLTAP, Xbox Pope has shown what can be made possible with the next-generation special editions

If you spend time collecting special editions of consoles, then the XboxPope designer has something for you. In a series of mock-ups for the PS5 compiled by DBLTAP, Xbox Pope has shown what can be made possible with next-generation special editions. Starting with an Asian-inspired skin for Mortal Kombat, on a console and controller with Ghost of Tsushima, the Xbox Pope is so capable that people are suspecting the designs look too official.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Xbox Pope does not just design for PS5 skins. As his name suggests, Pope has also come up with a number of ideas for Microsoft consoles, including some hypothetical designs for the Xbox Series X and controllers for the Xbox One.

It also has a Fall Guys-themed mock-up for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

PS5 Pre-Order date Unveiled

Players around the world are eagerly awaiting the PS5. And finally, Sony has actually had to double the production due to huge demand from many people. Meanwhile, while we know everything else about the PS5 right now, the date when will be available for pre-order is not one of them.

However, this seems to have just changed dramatically, while the exact date when the PlayStation 5 pre-orders start is revealed.

As can be seen from the Tweet above, PS5 pre-orders will open on September 9, 2020. But so far, neither the date nor the price of the PS5 are official while all the latest rumors point to a launch from mid to late November 2020 for the PS5 device.

Crysis Remastered

Crysis Remastered gets a launch date and improved graphics

It will be released on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 18

A new Crysis Remastered trailer has been released online, showing us a little more about how the game has improved visually. The new trailer, which you can watch below, shows some of the game improvements, compared to the original, such as high-quality textures up to 8K, ray tracing, etc.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Along with the trailer, it has also been confirmed that Crysis Remastered will be released on September 18 on PC through the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The press release made by the developers did not mention any kind of full franchise for Epic Games, so it is likely that the game will come to Steam at some point.

Crysis Remastered was originally scheduled for a worldwide launch in July, but the game was further delayed on all platforms, with the exception of the Nintendo Switch, following the bad reaction it had from trailers and screenshots leaked.

Crysis Remastered will launch on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on September 18th. The game is already available on the Nintendo Switch.
