Nubia Red Magic 6 first look

0

Here is the first look at the Nubia Red Magic 6. The image has surfaced in Weibo and has been shared by the_tech_guy on Twitter. The phone has been pictured from the back and seems to have triple rear cameras all aligned horizontally one after another. There are mentions of AI Cameras and brandings. This phone in the image shows Tencent Games branding which indicates the partnership of the smartphone company with the gaming brand for making an ultimate gaming smartphone.

At the sides, we can also see there are vents to pass the hot air. Like the predecessor Red Magic 5, this phone seems to feature a cooling fan at the center of the phone. This will help the phone to maintain the heat balance while playing games and balancing the performance.

As of now, that phone got appeared on the Geekbench website with the model number NX669J and from that listing, we’ve come to know that this upcoming nubia Z series smartphone will run on the Android 10 OS and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM.

If we talk about the Geekbench listing scores, this upcoming smartphone has managed to score 1004 points in the single-core and 3306 points in the multi-core. As of now, nubia has not confirmed the retail name of that device. But we can expect that this device may arrive with a retail name Red Magic 6, as this phone had been teased last month with an electrochromic back panel.

Previously launched Red Magic 5S features a 6.53-inch FHD+ AMOLED display supported by a 144Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. So, in the case of Red Magic 6, we can definitely expect a premium display as well like the Magic 5S. We hope, in the upcoming days, nubia will surely share something more about its upcoming Z series SD 888 powered smartphone.

0

The Intel Core i7-11700K has been recently been spotted on Geekbench by @TUM_APISAK and the results seem weirder than before as there’s a performance drop. It was spotted running on a Colorful Z590M GAMING PRO motherboard along with 16GB RAM.

The CPU specs have been confirmed when spotted on PassMark and the base frequency of the Core i7-11700K will be 3.60 GHz and boost clock speeds of 5.0 GHz. Also, Intel has increased the L3 cache to 16 MB that has greatly helped the performance of these CPUs.

Intel Core i7-11700K

As we see, the Geekbench scoring 1551 points in single-core while managing only 8849 points in multi-threaded tests. This is a huge dip in performance than we saw earlier as previously the best score from this CPU was 1810 points single-core and 11304 points multi-core.

Well, although the new scores are a letdown, these new Rocket Lake-S desktop CPUs are making so much of their presence available on Geekbench that it seems Intel is counting on its new 11th Gen processors that are unfortunately capped to 8 cores only.

It’s not the first time we have had spotted Intel’s upcoming 8-core flagship CPU in action but this time, the Geekbench result seems more accurate than ever. The results are incredible and way beyond what we have saw in past couple of weeks.

The 8 core, 16 threaded CPU has a max all-core boost of 4.8GHz and 3.5GHz base clock speeds whereas the single-core boost goes up to a whopping 5.3GHz. Until now it was spotted on Cinebench, CPU-Z, Ashes of Singularity benchmarks but this is the first time it has made entry to Geekbench.

The Core i9-11900K has blown the competition scoring a massive 1892 points in single-core and a pretty impressive 10934 points in multi-core. This is the highest single-core score ever and this could definitely end AMD’s short term dominance in gaming market.

While in multi-core scores, the Core i9-11900K just manages to beat the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X by a narrow margin which scores 10427 points. Overall, the upcoming Intel flagship looks crazy on paper while the single-core results are just mind-blowing!

Players Facing Issues During Transferring Content of Hitman 2 into Hitman 3, IO Interactive is Working On The Situation

0

IO Interactive is much busy currently facing the progress requests of Hitman 2 to Hitman 3. If it shows, your request “fails,” then it could be actually put in a queue, and in the processing of IO, you’ll have to wait for an unspecified time period.

The most attractive part of Hitman 3 is to insert your game progress from Hitman 2, including cosmetic goodies, location mastery XP, profile rank, and completed challenges. To do the carryover, you need to sign up for an IO account, then log in to a special website to transfer your Hitman 2 progress. But now, the transfer isn’t working properly because of massive traffic. IO Interactive is working hard to solve this issue.

This is not the first controversy related to transferring the content of older Hitman to Hitman 3. There was a problem for those who are playing the PC version of Hitman 3. For importing the levels of Hitman 2, they would have to rebuy the game. But later IO announced that they are solving the issues with Epic.

Here is the official description of the game:

“Hitman 3 is the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy, taking players around the world on a globetrotting adventure to sprawling sandbox locations, with Agent 47 returning for the most important contracts of his career. Supported by his Agency handler, Diana Burnwood, Agent 47 joins forces with his long-lost friend Lucas Grey. Their ultimate mission is to eliminate the partners of Providence, but they are forced to adapt as their hunt intensifies. When the dust settles, 47 and the world he inhabits will never be the same again.”

“Featuring six meticulously detailed locations packed full of creative opportunities, Hitman 3 gives players the unrivalled freedom to complete their objectives in a game world that reacts to everything they do. All of this is made possible by IOI’s award-winning Glacier technology, which powers Hitman 3’s immersive game world to offer unparalleled player choice and replayability.”

Hitman 3 is available now for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Stadia.
