The latest technology news from around the world
I am a big fan of the Black Shark 2, it offered a great spec at a reasonable price. While its SoC didn’t really do anything to differentiate it from normal phones there were plenty of features that made it a great gaming phone, including the 240 Hz touchscreen polling rate for the screen and…
The Nvidia Shield TV has been out for a few years now, and to Nvidia’s credit they have continued to update the device, albiet at a slightly slower pace than some smartphones. Over the years it has proven to be one of the best set-top media boxes on the market with features that many other…
Yesterday MediaTek announced the Helio G90 and G90T, their new flagship gaming orientated SoC. In my previous post, I compared the SoC to the flagship chipsets from Qualcomm and Hisilicon, but this was perhaps unfair as the Helio G90 is unlikely to be priced at the same point. New benchmarks have come out revealing how…
The Honor 20 Pro was announced all the way back in May, but the launch was tarnished with the American / Chinese political issues resulting in a trade ban for Huawei. Thankfully that is (mostly) over and the Honor 20 and 20 Lite have already launched, with the Honor 20 Pro officially launching on £549.99….
The new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs have been out for a few weeks now and the Ryzen 5 3600, Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 9 3900X have become the best choices for users dependant on budget. If £200 is too expensive for you and you still want a 6-core 12-thread processor then the AMD Ryzen…
If you are a power user spending more time working from your mobile than a laptop, then the monstrous 7.2 inch Huawei Mate 20 X (5G) might just be for you. The none 5G variant has been out for quite a while now, but the 5G model has finally landed in the UK, coming in…
The original Nvidia Shield TV launched in 2015, with a revision in 2017 using the same system on chip but in a sleeker design and some other minor improvements. In the world of technology, it is positively ancient, yet it is still regarded as one of the best set-top media devices on the market for…
The Huawei Nova 5i Pro has finally launched in China for 2,199 Yuan (£259) this phone features the latest HiSilicon Kirin 810 chipset from Huawei and the phone will likely land in the UK as the Mate 30 Lite. Assuming things pan out like last year, Huawei will launch the Mate 30 Lite at IFA…
Original Post – 9th of July 2019 – Updated on 27th July 2019 to include benchmarks across X370, X470 & X570 Zen 2 has finally landed, and it has mostly met expectations. The new CPUs don’t quite take the crown from Intel in pure gaming performance, but they offer much better value for similar gaming…
Many users are reporting that they are receiving emails with a code for 7.00 beta firmware in the EU and the code can be used up to 10 times. The new update allows for an increased number for Party sessions but if you accept the beta invite you will only be able to a Party…
With the OPPO Reno Z launching with the MediaTek Helio P90 it is worth looking to see how it stacks up against Qualcomm’s offerings and how it compares to the more expensive OPPO Reno. Based on the pricing of the Reno Z and the specification of the chip, the most likely contender is the Qualcomm…
Now that the new Ryzen 3000 CPUs have been released with many reviews showing their performance over previous generations, it is time for the leaks and rumours about the Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series to begin. A UserBenchmark result spotted by twitter user TUM_APISAK who is famous for his leaks. The UserBenchmark result is for a 16-core, 32-thread engineering…
