Apple iPhone 12 series said to launch in November

Previously some reports claimed that Apple iPhone 12 series will be launched in Q3 and to be more precise usual mid-September. But due to this lockdown scenario because of the pandemic, all the borders are being closed for safety purpose and the import of all the necessary materials have been postponed and thus delaying in the production of the iPhone 12 smartphones.

The iPhone 12 series will have four variants and will feature 5G connectivity on all the devices. As the production is delayed the previous launch date was once changed according to a report and was being delayed for a month, but now another report from Cowen investment bank claims that the series will unveil in November if everything goes correctly from now on.

A new report also predicts a combined 35 million unit production output in Q2 2020 which would be 13% lower than the same period last year. Apple also faced a downfall in their smartphone market in Q2 due to this ongoing pandemic. The biggest market of Apple is China and the sales have also gone down in the last few months.

About a month ago, few details about the upcoming iPhone 12 series had surfaced which showed us the schematic design of the vanilla iPhone 12 and as well as the Pro version of the series. The design revealed the most important thing that the upcoming series will feature a smaller notch giving more screen-to-body ratio. Other reports claim that the smartphones will have OLED panels and screen diagonals ranging between 5.4 and 6.7-inches with two 6.1-inch models in the middle.

Reports claim that internally the iPhone 12 series will debut with A14 Bionic chipset, which will be more efficient than the previous generation chipset. The price range is anticipated to range between $699 to $999.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT & Ryzen 9 3900XT CPUs are real, leaked on Cinebench R20

0

The alleged Matisse refresh CPUs from AMD seems actually true as they recently appear on Cinebench R20 single-core benchmarks. The recent leaks confirmed the clock speeds of these new chips:

  • 12-core Ryzen 9 3900XT will have a 4.1 GHz base clock and a higher boost clock speed 4.8 GHz,
  • 8-core Ryzen 7 3800XT will have a 4.2 GHz base clock and a higher boost clock speed 4.7 GHz,
  • 6-core Ryzen 5 3600XT will have a 4.0 GHz base clock and a higher boost clock speed 4.7 GHz
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X defeats Intel's server chips & Core i9-9980XE in PassMark

Obviously, such higher clock speeds will bring fruitful results against the recent 10th gen Comet Lake-S desktop processors. So as per the leaked benchmarks on Chiphell forums show that these refreshed CPUs give an impressive performance in single-core even defeats the new Intel processors.

AMD was short in terms of single-core frequency with respect to Intel till date, and it really surprised me that with such efficient Zen 2 cores, why AMD was not pushing the clock speeds higher? Maybe they were waiting for the best, until now, these Matisse refresh consists three processors which takes all of the new Intel processors.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT & Ryzen 9 3900XT CPUs are real, leaked on Cinebench R20

As we see in the graph, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT delivers great single-core score of 531 points, matching the likes of Ryzen 9 3950X, Core i7-10700K with 521 points and even the newer Core i9 10900 with 529 points. This means the Ryzen 5 3600XT will be great budget CPU this time for gaming with such high clock speeds.

Surprisingly, the Ryzen 7 3800XT has the same score of 531 much due to the fact that both of these CPUs have the same boost clock speed of 4.7 GHz. Interestingly, the AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT with just 4.8 GHz boost clock speed blows the competition, scoring 542 points, higher than the latest Intel Core i9-10900K with 5.3 GHz boost clock speed.

The existence of these CPUs is confirmed and we can expect AMD to launch them sooner to counter Intel. This single-threaded performance with Zen 2 can be really bad news for Intel as we know Ryzen 3000 desktop processors are already best selling and if these CPUs arrive then they will give an extra oomph to the gaming market which Intel targets at.

The Realme Buds Q launches with 10mm Drivers

Realme, on this Monday, launched its Buds Q along with some other electronics products. The touch of a French designer named Jose Levy made this product a little bit different than its other earpods. Though it looks quite similar to Galaxy Buds. Let’s figure out the reasons why this product is different from others.

Realme-Buds-Q-2_TechnoSports.co.in

As I mentioned at the title, this Buds Q is featured with the 10 mm drivers. It is very much safe from the water and dust splashes because of the IPX4 rating. Also, it is a 119 milliseconds latency rate holder. Needless to say, it is connectable with your smartphone via Bluetooth 5.0.

The company says this TWS earbud can provide 20 hours of continuous music playback time in one single charge. In the matter of the charge, the case has 30W fast charging support. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have any wireless charging facility, only the wired charging is available through the micro USB port.

Realme-Buds-Q-3_TechnoSports.co.in

For the ‘Quick Control’ ability, the user can manage to navigate the currently playing music. That means, the user has a smooth touch control over the music play, pause, and skip. The most interesting fact is the buds are weighed 3.6 grams which makes it lighter than an A4 paper. Along with the case, its weight becomes 35.3 grams in total.

The Realme Buds Q is available in three colors i.e. black, white, and yellow with the exchange of CNY 149. Though only in China. There is no news for the Indian release of this one.
