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.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

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.

Next-Gen Nvidia GeForce RTX 3000 Series Ampere Graphics Cards Announced: Starting at $499

A graphics card capable of 8K gaming while having a dizzying price

Nvidia has managed to build a graphics card capable of 8K gaming at 60fps with ray-tracing while having a dizzying cost. Based on the Ampere architecture, the flagship RTX 3090 costs $1,499 and overshadows the previous generation RTX 2080 Ti according to company CEO Jensen Huang.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The company has unveiled the next generation of 3000 series, and this time they come with Ampere tech to greatly improve speed and performance. The best card, the GeForce RTX 3090, is even capable of delivering 8K 60fps graphics including ray-tracing. It effectively replaces Titan series cards but will be more available to the public.

AMD A520 Motherboards

Building a PC becomes cheaper with the launch of AMD A520 motherboards

They offer support for current Ryzen 3000 desktop chips, including XT variants

AMD announced the launch of its new chips including the A520 chip, offering a solution to all those who while building their PCs, also worry about the economic side. The A520 motherboards stand in the AM4 socked and the models will be available from regular manufacturers anywhere in the globe.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

These boards support the current Ryzen 3000 desktop chips, including the XT variants, the recently launched Ryzen 4000-series (Renoir) APUs and will be compatible also with the 4th generation Ryzen (Zen 3) which will be released a little later in 2020, so there is the possibility of upgrading even later.

Overclocking SupportNoNoYesYes

The A520 motherboards should be available from manufacturers like MSI, ASRock and Asus priced from $100. Quite a friendly move for anyone who is going to build their own setup but is budget limited. While the AMD A520 chips give to entry-level Ryzen PC builders a list of new features compared to older A320 and B450 motherboards, some compromises have to be made.

The biggest compromise may be the lack of PCIe 4.0 compatibility. PCIe 4.0 gives a greater bandwidth when paired to compatible CPUs like Ryzen 3000 series. This means that your A520 chip won’t be able to give the maximum bandwidth of your CPU as a result you will be limited to PCIe 3.0 speeds. This may not be a big deal unless you use a PCIe 4.0 SSD to make use of higher speeds. On the other side, PCIe 4.0 does not matter on the graphics card since a PCIe 3.0 x16 is mother than enough. Should also mention that the new A520 chipset doesn’t support CPU overclocking and this is not a huge deal cos Ryzen 3000-series (codename Matisse) CPUs don’t have much manual overclocking headroom.

Aside for the entry-level (sub $100 US) prices, AMD A520 motherboards have o loot to offer like increased  I/O, support for next-gen Ryzen CPUs & APUs (besides the current ones) so there is path for upgradability, and better quality components, something not seen on older A320 chips. The new chips lands with 26 usable PCIe 3.0 lanes, supports up to four SATA III ports and as for the connectivity can accommodate up to five USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, two native USB 3.1 ports, and six native USB 2.0 ports.

Already a handful of motherboards already to go with the new chipset. These include:

  • ASRock A520M Pro4
  • Asus TUF Gaming A520M-Plus
  • Biostar A520MH
  • Gigabyte A520 Aorus Elite
  • MSI MAG A520M Vector Wi-Fi

Galaxy Note 20, Note 20 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy Note 20, Note 20 Ultra Officially Unveiled

Galaxy Unpacked does not disappoint, as always

“Never before we have relied so much on technology as today. So we are staying connected as we navigate the tremendous challenges we face around the world.” Said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business of Samsung Electronics.

True, in such days technology must give us a hand that everything in addition to being of better quality must be even faster. And Samsung is trying to do just that as through the Galaxy system ported to the 5 devices introduced yesterday; Galaxy Note 20 and 20 Ultra, Tab S7 and S7+, Galaxy Watch 3, Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Z Fold 2.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

As with the Galaxy S20, Samsung has decided to skip the full 10 numbers to introduce Note 20, the successor to the Note 10. Despite this jump, progress is not as massive as the name suggests and are in fact small improvements in the 6-month cycle among the company flagships. Normally there are some details that make the difference in order for the company to maintain its leading positions.

The Note line, like last year, this year is divided into two models: Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra with prices starting from $1,000 and $1,300 respectively. The phones arrive at a time when people have less money to spend than a year ago and would be more inclined to spend on accessories and laptops as work from home becomes the norm. In fact, in recent years it has been very difficult to sell equipment at prices of 1000+ dollars. However, Note 20 is the standard phone on which every other product is judged.

Note 20 Ultra, Note 20
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (left), Galaxy Note 20 (Right)

Starting with the camera department, the sensor set varies from one to the other device, the Note 20 packs 12MP/64MP/12MP while the Ultra 108MP/12MP/12MP experience. What does this mean?

8K recording at 24fps, all manual, manual focus, exposure, brightness, zoom, and 120fps in FHD to capture cinema levels. The Auto-Focus Laser sensor on the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra captures the most detailed autofocus or manual ever super accurate, moreover, Live Focus Video offers the bokeh effect even in video. You can now give direction to the microphone while recording or use Galaxy Buds Live for more professional quality, which no matter how noisy it is around, it will offer crystal clear recording.

Both phones have added between 10 and 30 grams. They store the same triple-camera system of the Galaxy S20 while Note 20 Ultra has taken almost everything from the S20 Ultra. The same 108-megapixel camera was used but this time with 50x hybrid and 5x optical zoom. The standard variant has 30x hybrid and 3x optical. The Ultra model has a Laser autofocus while the standard Note 20 has a 64-megapixel telephoto camera. Both can record 8K video.

Note 20 Ultra

Note 20 Ultra is the best model. The front and back are made of the new Gorilla Glass Victus. The hardware buttons have been moved from left to right to make room for the new camera module. It has 5G, 12GB RAM, 256GB or 512GB storage space. The screen is 6.9 inches tall and supports 120 Hertz. The screen resolution is 3,200×1,440 pixels (WQHD+). The battery is 4500 mAh. With the 25 watt charger included, more than 50 percent of the battery should be able to charge in 30 minutes.

Note 20

The Note 20 Ultra comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal space. The front is Gorilla Glass 5, while the back in plastic. Pack a 4,300 mAh battery. At 6.7 inches, the screen is smaller than that of the Note 20 Ultra. In addition, it does not support 120Hz, but only 60Hz. The resolution is 2,400×1,080 pixels.

Both models offer 5G and will be ship with the latest Snapdragon 865+ or Samsung’s Exynos 990 SoC in different regions. We remind then the Snapdragon 865+ is 10% better than the old Snapdragon 865 chip while Exynos 990 is slightly behind the Snapdragon 865 in terms of CPU performance (6% behind), so it is a bit disappointing seeing Exynos 990 in these 2020 Note 20 models.

The S Pen, of course

The S Pen has been the distinguishing feature of the Note, while others are trying to catch up with it, the Galaxy have to compete with itself so it has done just that by adding the facilities it offers, it can also be used on the Tab S7. Moreover, thanks to the partnership with Microsoft, Note 20 and Windows PC work together very easily. Aside from the fact that notes can be activated anytime and anywhere, not in vain, it is called Note, no S Pen takes control wherever you are regardless of the application you are using, by means of gestures that turn you back, on the recent App, or even at the Home Screen.

The Stylus Pen has now a faster response from 42ms last year to 9ms this year for the Ultra variant. The standard model has an improvement from 42ms to 26 milliseconds.

A special attention this time is dedicated to video games because in 2020 even grandmothers are playing PUBG. Beyond the most powerful performance offered on the market, beyond the dedicated resolution and refresh ratio with a maximum of 120Hz but automatically adaptive for healthier battery and power management, if you have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can play directly on your smartphone from a curated bookstore with over 100 games. Minecraft Dungeons, Forza Horizon 4, Gears of War 5 are just a few of them.

Google Pixel 4a Officially Revealed: Price, Specs And Other Details

After Pixel 3a, it is the second generation of budget pixels

Mid-range devices have been among the best-selling on Google but are far from being the most profitable business. Premium devices from market leaders like Samsung and Apple are the ones that generate the most revenue but it is the segment that is occupied by Samsung and Apple.

The Pixel 4a comes with a 5.81-inch FHD OLED 1080 ×2340 and a 443ppi display. It has an 8-megapixel front-hole camera and a single 12.2-megapixel rear camera, which captures perhaps the best photos of a phone at this price point. The disadvantage is that the Pixel 4a does not have as many sensors as the more expensive model, for example, an infrared sensor for face recognition is missing.

Google has traditionally taken special emphasis on the camera for pixel phones. For Pixel 4, Google first installed a telephoto lens on the mobile, in addition to the wide-angle main camera.

In terms of hardware specifications, it features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 SoC, an Adreno 618 responsible for graphics, 6GB RAM and 128GB UFS2.1 of internal memory, and a 3,140 mAh battery with 18W charging. The phone is seen as a direct rival to the OnePlus Nord, iPhone SE and Samsung Galaxy A71. This phone is delivered with the latest version of Android 10.

Since Pixel 3, every Google phone has also had a Titan M chip that contains numerous security mechanisms. Among other things, this ensures that the operating system is not manipulated. The fingerprint sensor is on the back, exactly where it should be.

The two main positive aspects of it are the fact that it is a Google product so updates should come sooner than others and even promise support for it up to Android 14, 3 years of Android updates. Second: The real reason why we would buy a Pixel; The camera.

We mentioned a bit above that there will only be one sensor, but that has never prevented this line from coming out on top of all the others. The benefits of the exclusive Pixel program will come here as well, the photos according to the examples will continue to be fantastic, the colors will be accurate, the contrasts as well and the impressive portrait mode will continue to provide results.
