As a quick recap, the Scavenger Hunt that occurred in October last year happened for just a few weeks and was part of Intel’s effort in hyping up interest for its ARC GPUs, which was just known as Xe HPG back then. The rules were more or less straightforward: participants would have to answer a series of questions, with each correct answer earning them points. Simply put, the more points players had, the greater the likelihood of them becoming the winner....

Product shots of the 12900KS and its packaging have been posted by several lucky consumers, such as Reddit user Seby9123 and another individual by the name of DAGINATSUKO who were lucky enough to get their hands on the processor.

Intel will begin the wind-up with graphics drivers 15.40.44.5107 and the update will affect all 4th generation CPUs. On that note, the deactivation also envelops CPUs launched under the Devil’s Canyon name, including the Core i7-4790K and Core i5-4690K.

Previous leaks have long confirmed the clamshell nature of Galaxy Z Flip. While the phone’s hinge mechanism is likely to be quite complex when compared to flip phones of yesterday years, the flip experience seems to be quite similar: — Ben Geskin (@BenGeskin) February 2, 2020 Featuring a very reflective exterior (at least in this purple colourway), also clearly visible in the video is the phone’s 1.06-inch Super AMOLED display that is located next to its dual 12MP camera module....

Original Article – 10:49AM, 22 August 2022: Back in June of 2021, reports of Apple stopping production of the iPhone 12 mini ahead of schedule put the fate of compact devices in question.

While this is not the first time that Lego has come out with a DeLorean Time Machine, the 2022 release is certainly much more elaborate than the version that the company released in 2013.

The 33-seconds video was, in fact, an edited fan render of what the finished product could possibly be, and it’s likely that Lenovo itself shared the video. On account of how polished it actually looks. For what its worth, the video render does look like the real deal; it shows the phone’s unfolding motion in action, plus some scrolling action on both the main display and mini display that is found on the upper half of the device....
