Feb 24, 2022

An Intel roadmap has just been leaked, which revealed some interesting information regarding its upcoming chip lineup. Apparently, the company is working on a energy efficient processors that will likely rival Apple‘s ARM based M1 chipsets.

According to AdoredTV (Via 9To5Mac), a leaked major roadmap for Team Blue has hinted at the Intel 15th Gen CPUs that will reportedly be called “Arrow Lake”. This roadmap also showcases how the chipmaking giant wants to surpass the Cupertino based company. The brand plans to place a larger focus on its upcoming mobile processor lineup over its more powerful desktop chips. These are expected to have an emphasis on energy efficiency while still offering improved performance.

For this, Intel will be collaborating with the world’s largest contract chipmaker, TSMC. It will reportedly combine its resources for the latter’s advanced 3nm process node technology. Notably, TSMC is also the primary chip supplier for Apple and its custom Silicon. Furthermore, the new Arrow Lake processors are expected to arrive with multiple cores for that are dedicated for performance and efficiency. In other words, similar to mobile chip architecture, future notebooks may be able to perform lighter tasks with a lower power draw.

While this means that Intel is taking Apple more seriously as a competitor, it seems like it is still a few steps behind the iPhone maker right now. This roadmap is showcases a 2023 launch, but, Apple already has three variants of its M1 available in the market at the moment. Additionally, the brand is also working on the next generation successors for these chips. So, Intel’s new chip could essentially still be catching up to future Apple Silicon as well. Keep in mind that this is just our speculations, so take it with a pinch of salt.

The realme Buds Q2s have been tipped to launch in India soon and are currently undergoing testing, according to a report. Following launch, the realme Buds Q series will comprise a total of four earbuds, with the preexisting ones being Buds Q2, Buds Q2 Neo, and Buds Q.

The information comes from Pricebaba which has quoted “industry sources.” Judging from the upcoming earbuds’ naming, it is likely that they’ll be an upgraded version of the standard Buds Q2.

realme buds q2 featured — realme Buds Q2

A previous report had revealed that the realme Buds Q2s will come in Night Black, Paper Green, and Paper White color options, and that they will be priced EUR 29 in Europe. Similar pricing can be expected in India too (below Rs 2,000, to be precise).

Apart from this, details about the realme Buds Q2s are scarce. A launch is expected later this month or in March but the company is yet to officially confirm this. Either way, their certification by BIS points toward their imminent launch.

As already stated, the realme Buds Q2s will most likely be an iterative upgrade over the Buds Q2, meaning both earbuds will probably come with very similar specs and designs. The realme Buds Q2 were launched in China in December 2021 and came with support for ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation). Five hours of battery life from the earbuds alone are promised, but it could be extended to twenty with the charging case.

Apple leads 2021 tablet market despite iPad shortage over supply issues

Feb 24, 2022

A new report has revealed data related to the global tablet market in 2021. In the new report, we can see that Apple has dominated the segment, despite facing a shortage of iPads caused by various issues with its supply chain.

According to Canalys, the tablet market in the US grew by a meager 1 percent last year. Although, the shipments in total crossed a whopping 132 million units in 2021. During this period, the Cupertino based giant took the lead with its market share accounting for more than 19 million tablet units. This is quite notable considering the lead times for iPads were hitting up to nine weeks. While the iPhone maker did dominate the segment, it also saw a decline of 17 percent in terms of shipments over the previous year. Its market share also fell from an impressive 44.6 percent in Q4 2020 to 40.2 percent in Q4 2021.

However, this fall was also caused by the general fall in demand for tablets, which were down by 31 percent year on year. While the company led the tablet market, it did not sit on the throne in the PC market. Meanwhile, HP was the leader with a 30 percent market share, but Apple still was one of the top five sellers of the year. In the overall PC market, the desktop category saw the greatest growth with 9 percent rise in 2021.

The Canalys report added that “The US PC industry’s overall growth in 2021 highlights the long term potential of the demand initially created by the pandemic. While Q4 2021 showed less impressive performance than the year overall, the market is well positioned to continue providing significant opportunities, especially from a revenue perspective, for the coming year amid strong business demand.”

But, the game will not run on iOS devices that have less than 2GB of RAM and Android devices with less than 3GB of RAM.

Although, certain 2GB RAM models will be supported for a few brands like Vivo, Oppo, Huawei, Motorola, Samsung, Lenovo, and Xiaomi. Unfortunately, even if it is available on iOS, the game will only be playable on iPhone 6S or later models and is only being released in a limited launch. So stay tuned for more updates.

The changelog says that the camera shutter control feature only works on devices running Android 7.0 Nougat or higher. This is fine as there aren’t many active users on Android 6.0 Marshmallow or blow.

The Redmi K50G went official last week as the first device in the Redmi K50 series. It is the successor of the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition, which is also known as the POCO F3 GT in India. According to certifications and MIUI code, the Redmi K50G will launch as POCO F4 GT in international markets. The smartphone’s specs leak from earlier today suggests the same.

A couple of hours back, tipster Yogesh Brar shared the key specifications of the upcoming POCO F4 GT on Twitter. The features listed by him clearly suggest that this phone will be a rebranded Redmi K50G.

He says that the handset will flaunt a 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED display with up to a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

Apple iPhone 15 series to reportedly pack company’s self-developed 5G modem chips

Feb 24, 2022

Apple has been using its own A-series chips for the iPhones and iPads and recently the company also started making its own ARM-based Apple Silicon chips for powering Mac devices. Now, the Cupertino-based tech giant is gearing up to make its own 5G chips.

If the latest report is to be believed, then Apple is planning to replace Qualcomm’s 5G modem chips in the next year’s iPhone 15 series models with its own self-developed 5G modem chips. It is also being said that the company is already in talks with the suppliers who will help in making the chips.

A report coming from DigiTimes claims that Apple has started talks with two key suppliers — Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) and Siliconware Precision Industries (SPIL) about having them package its first 5G modem chips.

But the move isn’t a sudden one. In fact, the technology giant has been working behind the scenes for a few years now to make its own cellular chips that would replace the ones sourced from Qualcomm and Intel in its iPhone models.

Apart from better integration and having control over the features, another major advantage for Apple to ditch Qualcomm and Intel in favor of its own 5G modem chips is that the company won’t have to pay royalties when using its own chips.

Apple has a good track record when it comes to designing chips — ranging from its A-series SoC for the iPhone and iPad models to the M-series chips for the Mac-powered devices. But it remains to be seen how the company’s cellular chips turn out to be given that it has added complexity of radio communication.
