We've seen some trends in flagship phones over the past few months. An ultra wide camera. A telephoto lens. A TOF sensor. An OLED display with a resolution of 1440p. Curved glass on the front and back. Fast wired charging. A waterdrop notch housing only the front camera. I could go on and on about … Continue reading Where Flagship Phones Are Headed

A Quick Dive Into Zen 2 Performance Predictions
Recently today, a Geekbench Benchmark of the Ryzen 5 3600 leaked. Ryzen 5 3600 Geekbench 4 result leaked It shows a single-core score of 5930 and a multi-core score of 26371. With this information, we can extrapolate the performance of other Zen 2 CPUs in AMD's lineup, such as the Ryzen 7 3700X and 3800X. … Continue reading A Quick Dive Into Zen 2 Performance Predictions
Chiplets – Why It Can Solve The Slowing Of Moore’s Law
Moore’s law, which states that the transistor density of integrated circuits will double every year, has slowed down. Many companies have attempted to combat this issue as the need for processing power increased. Despite a sharp increase in the costs of a new node, transistor density saw little improvement. While it was common for most … Continue reading Chiplets – Why It Can Solve The Slowing Of Moore’s Law
AMD’s 3000 Series Ryzen Mobile Chips – Better Than Expected?
In late 2017, AMD released their Ryzen 2000 series mobile CPU's although they sported CPU performance comparable to Intel 8th Gen mobile CPU's and much better mobile performance, they were not well received by the public. A large reason is due to the lack of driver optimizations and the problem of too much power consumption … Continue reading AMD’s 3000 Series Ryzen Mobile Chips – Better Than Expected?
Nvidia Will Still Remain As The Dominant GPU Company
In AMD's keynote yesterday, they made only one product announcement: The Vega VII. It retails for $699 US and is built on AMD's new 7nm process. The specs seem to be impressive, with a whopping 1 TB/s of memory bandwidth (compared to 616 GB/s on the RTX 2080 Ti), 16 GB of HBM2 (compared to … Continue reading Nvidia Will Still Remain As The Dominant GPU Company
Why AMD Not Announcing Specs Of Zen 2 In Their CES 2019 Keynote Is A Very, Very Good Thing
In AMD's CES keynote today, I, with probably many others, was very disappointed when Dr. Su did not disclose the specs of Zen 2. However, as many people in the subreddit r/AMD have pointed out, Zen 2 pretty much confirmed at this point to have 8x2 cores (for a total of 16) on the naked … Continue reading Why AMD Not Announcing Specs Of Zen 2 In Their CES 2019 Keynote Is A Very, Very Good Thing
8K Displays in 2019
8K displays have been featured in multiple different tech conferences the past year, such as CES 2018 and Computex 2018. I expect 2019 to be a continuation of this. However, there is going to be a very, very long wait until 8K finally becomes mainstream. In fact, majority of consumers are still adjusting to 4K … Continue reading 8K Displays in 2019
Smaller CPU Process Nodes in 2019
Since 2014, the semiconductor industry has been using the 14nm process node. Just this year in 2018, AMD and Nvidia have switched to 12nm (with the Zen + and Turing microarchitecture respectively), although it isn’t much of a difference. Next year, however, AMD will make the jump to a 7nm process - which AMD claims … Continue reading Smaller CPU Process Nodes in 2019
5G Connectivity in 2019
A lot of YouTubers have said that 2019 is the year of 5G technology. I can see that many companies are racing furiously over who can make the best 5G tech, but in my opinion, 5G still has a long way to go. According to Dave2D, although super-fast internet speeds and lower latency is a … Continue reading 5G Connectivity in 2019
