Apple’s ARM-based MacBooks are expected to sell 2.5 million units

We already know that Apple plans to launch its new MacBook devices with its home-made ARM-based CPUs. The company’s new tools will be too power efficient and will not require any sophisticated thermal system.

The company earlier announced that it is ditching Intel’s processors for good, favoring its technology. Apple will use its November 10 hardware event to showcase its new laptops. The models being released are MacBook Pro 16, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro 13.

Apple Silicon for next-gen Macs announced at WWDC 2020

Along with manufacturing its home-made CPU’s the company is also planning to use the latest Mini-LED technology in its devices. According to sources, Apple is expected to sell up to 2.5 million ARM MacBooks by February 2021. It is roughly equal to 20% of the total MacBooks the company sold in 2019.

The new ARM MacBooks will supposedly sport the same designs as Apple’s current models. The MacBooks will sport apple silicon, which is based on Apple’s A14 Bionic chipset. The ARM MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13 are also believed to feature turbocharging.

ARM-based MacBook’s seem to be the future of Apple’s devices. With its adaption of the A14 Bionic processor and plan to feature the latest Mini-LED technology.

The company plans to leverage its home-made processor and establish its dominance in the notebook processing market. However, intel and leading the existing notebook market, Apple will most likely have a tough time showing its new processor. But the analyst is quite optimistic regarding apple’s performance.

AMD’s EPYC Milan 7713 appears on SiSoftware benchmarks

Advanced Micro Devices is expected to start shipping its next-gen EPYC Milan before the end of this year. The CPU will be fully available by 2021. However, the un-availability is in no way stopping the next-gen EPYC Milan lineup from showing up in online benchmark databases. We already know that the EPYC 7713 is a behemoth with a 64-core chip; hence, the performance will be impressive.

The CPU appeared on the SiSoftware database for the benchmark scores and sported the following details: 64C 128T 2.45GHz, 64x 512kB L2, 8x 32MB L3. However, the CPU appears to be an early engineering sample, and thus the market-ready variant will indeed have faster clocks. The EPYC 7713 is a high-speed CPU, and the results for its CPU Arithmetic tests outperform a quad Intel Xeon Platinum (Cascade Lake-SP) system. 

The CPU was compared with the dual EPYC 7742 Rome configurations, which had clock speeds of over 3.3 GHz. The EPYC 7713, however, had no problem coming out on top. However, the current top ranking on the benchmarking platform is currently held by four Intel Xeon Platinum 8280L processors. But they barely manage a 5 percent speed increase over the Zen 3-based EPYC Milan chipset. It means that the retail-ready variant of the CPU will be a killer.

AMD’s EPYC Milan lineup will be using an advanced seven nm-based process node. The CPU is mainly focused on improving the performance per watt. The chip promises to be pin-compatible with the SP3 socket and includes support for PCIe 4.0 and DDR4 memory RAM. Along with a decent TDP range of 120 to 225 Watt, the CPU will give intel’s high-end processors a run for their money.

Bethesda Dev might have a target to release Starfield in 2021

Starfield is the new project from the studio behind Skyrim, Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda is making its first-ever Role-Playing game in 25 years. This game is a first-person RPG game, themed on a space adventure.

They still haven’t declared any specific release date but Thursday morning, Ashley Cheng, the managing director of Bethesda, confirmed a release date window. Ashley was present on the live stream, where company executive Todd Howard was awarded the Developer Star Award.

One Redditor named Rynderend noticed on the live stream that the insignia on Ashley Cheng’s sleeve was familiar to the insignia of previously leaked screenshots of this game. In October, ElectricalAd8659, a leaker revealed some images of Starfield into Discord server, and he wrote, “There were more than what was seen already, game is targeted for 2021. Enjoy”.

There was no such proof to stand with the leaker, but after the live stream, we can say that the leaks were legitimate. The game first released its teaser in 2018.

Eric Braun, Senior Programmer of Bethesda described the new Starfield custom animation system but later it was removed by him. He wrote:

“For BGS, I’ve been busy replacing Havok Behavior with a custom animation system for Starfield and all future BGS console games. It features graph-based editing, live monitoring, in-game animation rewind tools, predictive foot in with bone scaling and retargeting, high quality compression, and a very high level of performance.”

The company hasn’t released any official trailers yet, and also nothing declared about the official launch date. We’ll keep you updated, so stay tuned with us.

The Razer Book 13 – A Force of Productivity is Born

The world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers, Razer has announced its new high-performing laptop, Razer Book 13. Razer always comes out with its outstanding product for gamers who need that gamer aesthetic and feel. The brand is best known for its gaming PCs and accessories.

World’s most thin 13.4” display bezel, which has made Razer Book 13 so much attractive. There is not much contrast in the look between Razer Book 13 and the previous product, Razer Stealth 13. The new Razer Book 13 comes in three models with Core i5 and i7 processors.

The Razer BOOK 13 – A Force of Productivity is Born

The entry-level model has a price tag of $1,119 with an 11th-gen i5 chipset and 8GB RAM. The rest two come with the i7 chipset but the difference is, the base one offers an FHD display and the premium one has a UHD display with a price tag of $1,599 and $1,999 respectively.

Coming to the specification of Razer Book 13, we have 11th Gen Intel processors (i5-1135G7 and i7-1165G7) for all the three variants, capable of up to 4.7 GHz clock speed. This Intel processor comes with an improved Iris Xe integrated graphics, which can give a good experience of light gaming and general use.

Intel Iris Xe Max Gen12 graphics review posted on SiSoftware

The Blue team has taken its new 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs quite seriously and even though we do not see a huge bump in CPU performance, there’s a huge difference when it comes to GPU. Intel has not only upgraded to its integrated Iris Xe graphics but also launched its first discrete DG1 Discrete graphics.

Never before integrated GPUs have been soo fast on an Intel laptop, however, the new Iris Xe graphics is a huge improvement:

  • 10nm++ process (lower voltage, higher performance benefits)
  • Gen12 (Xe-LP) graphics (up to 96 EU as here DG1 discrete graphics)
  • DDR5 / LPDDR5 memory controller support (2 controllers, 2 channels each, 5400Mt/s)
  • LP-DDR4X generally used now up to 4266Mt/s (up from 3732Mt/s)
  • New Image Processing Unit (IPU6) up to 4K90 resolution
  • New 2x Media Encoders HEVC 4K60-10b 4:4:4 & 8K30-10b 4:2:0
  • PCIe 4.0 (up to 8GB/s with x4 lanes)

Now, you would ask what is the speciality about its so-called discrete graphics? Here is the difference:

  • It can be clocked higher (1.65GHz) as it has its own 15W (laptop)/25W (desktop) power budget
  • Dedicated LP-DDR4X memory and thus bandwidth but no zero-copy data transfers
  • Data upload/download through PCIe4 x4  (PCIe3 with current systems)
  • Possible fanless due to low-power (25W, TDP-down to 15W), low-profile, single-slot

Obviously having a lot of VRAM helps the graphics to perform well along with higher clock speeds. The 96 Compute Units and 768 Stream Processors are the same as its Xe-LP iGPU on the normal Tiger Lake CPUs with a memory bandwidth of 66GB/s.

The reviews and benchmarks on the SiSoftware site show how Intel’s new discrete graphics performs in the real world:

As we see in the benchmark, the discrete Intel DG1 graphics is 18% faster than an old GT 1030 graphics from NVIDIA in Mandel FP16/Half (Mpix/s), whereas FP128 is 46% faster. It’s worth noting that the increase in clock speeds and dedicated VRAM does indeed make a difference compared to the integrated Xe graphics.

In all of these benchmarks, one thing is evident is that the new Intel DG1 discrete graphics is way better than its predecessors. On a laptop, this amount of graphics can be game changing as we see it to be almost 2x faster than NVIDIA GT 1030.

Overall, the Intel Iris Xe Max Gen12 graphics is 8% faster than integrated Xe-LP of TGL and sometimes as much as 50% in some tests. However, with optimized drivers and support Intel’s discrete graphics solution can well indeed become a turning point for the company struggling to keep up with AMD.

Valve launches Playtest feature for early game testing

Cloud game-streaming seems to be the future of video games. The hardware limitations do not bind it, and one can play the games any time they want. One needs a decent internet connection and a subscription to various games.

Steam by Valve is one of the very first cloud gaming services that introduced this feature to its users. Although steam games are not entirely cloud-oriented and still depends on the user’s hardware for performance. Nonetheless, the service is no less than a gem among stones.

Now the developers behind steam have added a new feature to their service. According to the quality, the game makers can now invite players to test their new games without access to a game’s beta key. They can do so by using the steam client itself. The feature is being called Steam Playtest and will allow interested testers to click a button in a game’s listing on the Steam store and request access and be added to a testers queue.

Developers will be able to see how many people have access to the test. Along with how many people have expressed interest and are waiting for access to the test. The feature will also inform developers as to how many people were manually invited to the test. When the developers decide to end a trial, the button to request access to it will be removed from the game’s Steam store page. Also, the game will be pulled from user libraries.

However, it is worth remembering that Playtests aren’t intended to replace Steam Early Access. Steam also allows games to have a Playtest alongside its Early Access version. The Playtest feature is entirely free, and users won’t be charged for it. But the quality is still under beta version and may not be available for all users. However, since it is not fully developed, we can expect Valve to add more future features.

Apple patents its under-display optical image sensor

Apple’s iPhone 12 5G is released in the market and is already garnering a lot of attention. The device is powered by Apple’s A14 Bionic, which is currently the world’s fastest smartphone processor.

According to sources, Apple is reportedly planning on bringing back the Touch ID feature for its future iPhones. The iPhone maker has reportedly been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). According to it, the company has been awarded a patent for an under-display optical image sensor. It reads that the sensor would be “positioned at least partially behind a display and is configured to emit shortwave infrared light.” The patent was initially filed back in October 2018 and has now been approved with patent number 10,824,837 B2.

According to sources, the technology would use shortwave infrared light to map the ridges on the finger pressed against the screen. It is presumed that the technology would be used by smartphones to analyze fingerprints for verification.

The infrared light that would be reflected by a finger on to a photosensitive element for verification. We know that the infrared light is not part of the visible spectrum; hence it won’t interfere with the display. The photosensitive element, on the other hand, would filter out light from the visible spectrum.

With the advent of cutting edge tech and an increase in demand for high-performing devices. It is imperative to keep bringing out innovations. However, it would be interesting to see apple bringing out its new technology in the upcoming iPhones. Apple has already launched its Face ID feature, but its customers have been craving for the Touch ID feature for a long time.

We still don’t know whether Apple will launch the Touch ID with its iPhone 13; however, we can expect the quality by the end of next year.
