Google’s previous Tensor chipsets powering the company’s Pixel lineup of smartphones and, just recently, a tablet, are, in one way or another, based on Samsung’s previous Exynos SoC launches. The Tensor G3’s unique 9-core CPU cluster was likely based on the Korean giant’s unreleased Exynos 2300, so it would be completely fine to assume that the upcoming Tensor G4 would have some relation with the Exynos 2400. Unfortunately, the specification differences do not give us confidence in this claim, even though one tipster believes it.

ASUS completely revamped the internal cooling system of the 2023 ROG Strix G16 by adding three fans to tame the powerful RTX 4060 GPU and the 14-core Intel Core i7-13650HX. Adding another fan always helps to improve thermals, but what is impressive about this configuration is that ASUS incorporated this solution without compromising the storage and RAM upgrades of the ROG Strix G16.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is starting its leaderboard over from scratch after identifying a bugged effect whose power was scaling infinitely.

Qualcomm will be shifting away from the traditional ARM CPU designs later this year when it announces the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in the fourth quarter. There is immense significance surrounding this smartphone chipset for two primary reasons. One is that it will be the first silicon to adopt the company’s custom Oryon cores that Qualcomm announced back in 2022, and these designs would not have been possible without the Nuvia acquisition.

The mixed-reality headset market is rumored to add another member to the list called the Huawei Vision, as the former Chinese giant is said to take on the Apple Vision Pro with a future launch. To raise the bar and get more customers interested in picking up this head-mounted wearable, the rumor claims that there will be some similarities between the two products, but the Huawei Vision is not only said to be significantly lighter but sport half the price of the Apple Vision Pro.

In a significant milestone, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple's "iPhone Pro Max" models, helped it claim the title of the world's best-selling smartphone. "iPhone Pro Max" has secured its position as the most popular smartphone globally, based on statistics from 2023. Market analysis by Canalys reveals that both the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the subsequent iPhone 15 Pro Max claimed the top spots in global annual shipments for the first time.

In 2023, TSMC only had one 3nm customer, which was Apple, but as it takes on more clients this year, it needs to address its production capabilities to cater to additional orders. According to one report, the Taiwanese giant intends to increase production to 100,000 monthly wafers in 2024 while also focusing on increasing yields by 3nm.

Currently, only Samsung and Google offer the longest software support for their flagships, which is seven years. OnePlus might receive praise for the clean UI it brings to its handsets, but it will likely be questioned as to why it does not follow the same approach as the two other companies, to which the Chinese firm’s President has an adequate reply. He believes rolling out software updates for seven years is pointless if the hardware cannot deliver the same experience.

Qualcomm and its phone partners could be working in overdrive mode to bring flagships sporting the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 much earlier to the market, with one tipster commenting that the first handset may undergo mass production by September. For the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm held its launch event in October, so it is possible that its successor could be unveiled earlier.

The performance rumors surrounding the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 indicated that Qualcomm’s first smartphone SoC boasting the company’s custom cores would be faster than Apple’s M2, but on the GPU side of things, and that too, in one benchmark. However, we now have what is allegedly the Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core belonging to the same chipset, and not only do the scores show that it runs circles around the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but its multi-threaded results compete with the M3. The AnTuTu results were also shared, so let us get into the details.
