GSMA, the organisers of MWC, had released a statement earlier this week assuring that the event will proceed as planned despite companies such as Sony, Intel, NVIDIA and Facebook pulling out. Contrary to their statement, Spanish news agency La Vanguardia reports that the organisers are said to hold a meeting on 14 February to decide if MWC 2020 should go on. It won’t be the first time that a major event faces the risk of cancellation or postponement due to the outbreak....

Rockstar Games sent out a tweet stating just as much. But interestingly, the sudden spike in traffic in GTA V on PC is also causing issues to Rockstar Games Services, and the company’s own game launcher. At the time of writing, the company says that it has resolved the performance issues with both the game and the Rockstar Games Launcher. — Rockstar Support (@RockstarSupport) May 17, 2020 It’s not really surprising that any of this is happening....

Of course, it goes without saying that there are several ways to ensure your framerates stay smooth and above the 60 fps mark. Here’s a list of how you can do that, and we’re going to show you via a Dell G7 gaming notebook. Your GPU matters While it can be argued that CPU and RAM is crucial to ensuring a smooth gameplay experience, it cannot be denied that a PC and gaming notebook’s GPU is the ultimate force that governs your gameplay experience....

To recap, the Honor 10 Lite is a mid-range smartphone that is powered by the Huawei-made Kirin 710 SoC. Contrary to previous reports, it looks like one of the Honor 10 Lite models that will be coming into Malaysia will only be sporting 3GB RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. The display of the Honor 10 Lite is, however, a 6.21-inch FullView display, with Full HD+ resolution and a dewdrop notch situated at the top of it....

Aside from MediaTek which is the very company that supplied the Dimensity 1000+ processor for the V40, HONOR has mentioned several U.S companies inside the list including AMD, Intel, and Microsoft who have provided processors and software for its laptops. Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix, and Sony have also agreed to partner with the company. There is also Qualcomm in the list which seems to be a sign that HONOR may no longer be affected by the sanctions on its former parent company, Huawei by the United States....

It is expected that the Magic V would sport a book-styled form factor, similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3, Huawei Mate X2, and the newly launched OPPO Find N. Currently, it is hard to tell whether this would be the case as the teaser image only shows the device’s side profile. Maybe HONOR will surprise us with a clamshell foldable phone instead? While the brand did not provide any details regarding its specifications, it did refer to the Magic V as a flagship device....

One major change in the Huawei Nova 8 SE series when compared to the previous models is the choice of chipsets included. Rather than using the brand’s own Kirin SoC, the Nova 8 SE and its High Edition variant uses MediaTek’s 5G-enabled Dimensity 720 and Dimensity 800U chipsets respectively. Both models come with 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, and runs on Huawei’s EMUI 10.1 (based on Android 10). The duo is equipped with a 6....

On top of the list is the nova 10 Pro which pride itself in being the first-ever Huawei device to feature the 100W Huawei SuperCharge Turbo technology. The high-speed charging feature apparently allows the phone’s 4500mAh battery to go from 20% to 80% in just 10 minutes. When it comes to full charging time, Huawei said that it would take around 20 minutes. However, it is unknown at the moment if the 100W SuperCharge Turbo charger will be provided as standard in Malaysia since it is an optional accessory in certain markets....

Powered by Huawei’s highest-end consumer processor to date, the Kirin 990 5G, the IP68-certified phone comes with 8GB of RAM and 512GB internal storage. Similar to the P40 Pro, there is also a 4200mAh battery in P40 Pro+. Unlike the P40 and P40 Pro, the new P40 Pro+ will only be available in Malaysia at a later date instead of 11 April. However, the exact launch date was not revealed by Huawei today....

Even though Trump has announced that the Chinese technology giant is now able to purchase products from its U.S-based suppliers, the U.S Department of Commerce still hasn’t taken Huawei’s name from its sanction list. In fact, its staff were asked to continue treating the company as being blacklisted. While Huawei has been provided with a temporary license, it doesn’t cover future devices. Not to forget, the license will also expire next month....

Despite the name, the HyperX Armada 25 actually has a 24.5-inch Full HD IPS display. But defining its gaming chops is its 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms grey-to-grey response time. That, and the fact that it is Nvidia G-Sync compatible. Then there is the HyperX Armada 27. This comes with a 27-inch QHD (1440p) screen, as well as a familiar 1ms response time. What this one has over its smaller sibling is Display HDR 400 certification....

During an online media briefing, IATA director general Willie Walsh commented that feedback for the Travel Pass app has been positive. He added that it is expected to go live in the next couple of weeks after another round of tests, where an estimated total of 60,000 people have been registered to trial the system. According to the association’s official Twitter account, among the next batch to test the app’s capabilities includes Vietnamese airline company VietJetAir....

Essentially, the choice of processors that are available to customers depends on the respective models. For example, customers can choose to have Intel Core i5-12500H or Core i7-12700H for Onyx V and Selenite V while the Core i9-12900H is the only 12th Gen Core option available for the Onyx G, Onyx Pro, and Selenite Pro. [Image: Illegear] On the other hand, the Selenite X can be obtained with either Core i7-12700H or Core i9-1200H....

Said to be designed in collaboration with Intel, the new IONIC Touch is also Illegear’s first-ever laptop with a touch display. Featuring a chassis made from aluminium, the new laptop also comes with a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel that has sRGB colour gamut coverage of 100 per cent and a maximum brightness of 450nits. IONIC Touch can be obtained with two processor options including the Intel Core i5-1135G7 and Core i7-1165G7....

The first model is called Prodigy and it carries a 15.6-inch Full HD 144Hz IPS display. On another hand, there is also the Rogue which is equipped with a 17.3-inch Full HD IPS display that has a similar 144Hz panel. Outside of these differences and slight variations on their physical design, both Prodigy and Rogues carry almost the same set of hardware. For example, both laptops are powered by Intel Core i7-9750H processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti with 6GB GDDR6 VRAM....

The leaked images, which were originally posted on the Chiphell forums, were leaked online by a Chinese restaurant worker, who had reportedly managed to get his hands on eight Ryzen CPUs. To go into specifics, one of the images shows one of the Ryzen APUs in a delidded state, while the other is a close-up of the Ryzen 3200G, the lesser of the two SKUs. Luozhu also appears to be holding back some information about the two CPUs, stating that he will be releasing them on 27 May; the same day as AMD’s Computex keynote this year....

The signs were initially spotted by eagle-eyed viewer bill tng (@vanguy79) from Singapore, who posted a screenshot of what he thought was a “No Durians” sign briefly seen in the first episode of the new season. To his delight, Breck Eisner, the director for several episodes in the new season, confirmed the sighting by replying “That it is”. — bill tng (@vanguy79) December 13, 2019 The “No Durian” sign is a nice touch and, in a way, a homage to both the Asian fruit and Southeast Asian countries like ours and Singapore....

Suffice to say, the list is extensive, with some of the apps actually being popular mobile game apps like PUBG Mobile, Rise of Kingdoms, and Warpath to name a few. On somewhat interesting note, one of the apps called “Malay Social Dating App To Date & Meet Singles”, seems to have been developed by a developer in China. This isn’t the first time India’s government has chosen to ban a long list of made in China apps....

For the uninitiated, the KS Series is both a recent and interesting addition by Intel to its CPU lineup. Arguably a carry forward from its Extreme CPU HEDT days, KS labelled CPUs like the 13900KS house hand-picked, pre-binned cores that offer the best power efficiency and operating efficiency. The first of these series of CPUs is the Core i9-12900KS, a processor that we actually reviewed earlier this year and had a maximum boost clock of 5....
