MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 Shows Impressive Performance Results In Geekbench 6, But Fails To Beat The A17 Pro In Both Single, Multi-Core Runs

A new ‘Bill of Materials’ analysis reveals that Apple’s top-end flagship, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, for this year costs just $37.7 extra to make compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but there are multiple reasons for that. With memory and displays getting cheaper this year, the discounts eased Apple’s materials costs, but the new 3nm A17 Pro, titanium chassis, and camera system that includes a tetraprism telephoto lens increased the overall bill.

A professional Pokemon player has admitted that, in his estimation, 80-90% of competitors are using hacked 'mons.

The Dimensity 9300 shares a unique CPU cluster compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Apple’s A17 Pro, and it appears that MediaTek’s gamble in not using any efficiency cores for its flagship SoC has paid off as its latest chip outperforms the top two players in the latest 3DMark Wild Life Extreme test. However, as one would expect, there is a noticeable power consumption spike as a result of using just Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A720 for the Dimensity 9300 this year.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 finally went official a couple of hours ago, and it was one of the first mobile SoCs to feature only performance cores, meaning that there were no efficiency cores on the chipset. In addition to that, the chipset also featured a race-to-idle concept, meaning that it would work at full speed to handle smaller tasks rather than working at a lower speed and taking a longer time.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 is finally here, and it is ready to take the fight to the likes of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Exynos 2400. The new chipset brings a number of changes, including four big Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A74 cores. MediaTek also promises Stable Defusion generation of under one second--in addition to that, the new chipset also adds support for the latest LLMs of up to 33 billion parameters, making it one of the best chipsets to have AI support.

Alan Wake 2 is here, and as you would expect from a survival horror game, it throws some fairly tough challenges at you, including a number of boss fights.

Apple has plans to gravitate its entire Mac lineup to feature OLED technology, and while that will take several years to reach fruition, the company is expected to commence this transition with the iPad Pro launch in 2024. According to a product launch roadmap, there are also plans to mass produce a super-sized version of the iMac, which sports a 42-inch OLED panel.

An enterprising Final Fantasy 14 fan has set out to complete the MMO’s story content using only a party of healers, with additional rules thrown in to make the task more difficult. They were quickly made to regret the decision. 

The Dimensity 9300 appears to be trading blows with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the latest AnTuTu benchmark leak, as MediaTek’s upcoming flagship SoC was reportedly tested in Vivo’s unreleased X100 flagship. Despite Qualcomm’s unveiling of its best silicon to date, it is beaten by the better chipset.

As you travel through the Barren Swamp in , you'll eventually have to beat a terrifying boss named The Green Monster of the Swamp, whose attacks can inflict a deadly condition throughout the fight. You can take advantage of a clear weakness in other enemies from this area to expose this boss's vulnerability. This monstrous foe has two phases you should be able to overcome as long as you pay attention to its attack patterns.

The iPhone 15 Pro models have become the first smartphones in the world to use a 3nm chipset. The A17 chipset adds a massive performance boost to the iPhones that lets it do even the heaviest tasks with ease. But where do you actually see its biggest impact? According to Apple, the answer is gaming. It has recently released a new video on YouTube that highlights the gaming prowess of the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, on the back of the optimization and enhanced performance from the new chipset.

The spooky Bell Rise is an unofficial location in Lords of the Fallen — the only reference to it you’ll find is a map, but it is an area all the same. The area can be unlocked extremely early in the game, and if you visit right away, you’ll be shocked by the difficulty of the standard enemies here. Everything in Bell Rise is designed for higher level characters. I recommend waiting until after you’ve discovered the second beacon at least — maybe even the third beacon.
