Intel’s Tiger Lake Xe Integrated Graphics Beats a 4900HS!
Опубликовано: 19 июн. 2020 г.Let’s get started with intel. It seems like currently the most interesting segment for mainstream consumers is their tiger lake CPU’s for notebooks, specifically the XE Integrated graphics that have been doing the rounds on 3d mark’s database. The last time we saw a glimpse of it in action was back at CES where they showed a brief moment of gameplay with as little info as possible.
Well, about 2 days ago, Ryan Shrout, chief performance strategist at intel, posted a video on Twitter showcasing the new chips. he was showing a tiger lake powered laptop with Xe graphics running battlefield 5. The notebook was reaching 30 fps consistently if not a little more.
Now dont get me wrong, this is basically a console-level type of gaming experience, and at first glance is definitely nothing to brag about. but given that this is a thin and light, it’s pretty impressive. This is at 1080p 100% resolution scaling, this is pretty important to note and on default high settings.
Now I know what you might be about to say, AMD’s APU’s ARE FASTER and you might be surprised. In fact, Matthew Connaster wrote an article on adoredTV.com testing the same settings as Ryan did but he did so with his Zephyrus G14 which sports a 4900HS and the results were not what I expected. He essentially averaged 25FPS. Now the 4900HS might be an 8 cores CPU but clearly, the game is being bottlenecked by graphics in that case, so it essentially runs the same as the 8 vega CU’s in the Ryzen 4800U.
Now, The thing is, with integrated graphics, there are so many things you can do to improve performance. If you do a quick youtube search for 4700U 4800U 48 or 900H or HS, you’re likely to come up with AMAZING results that range from 40 to 60FPS, but unfortunately, all of them use custom settings with a lot of them on low and resolution scaling is very often used. So yes, you can already have a great experience on AMD APU’s we already knew that. But this Intel chip is doing some work here.
NOW, The question is, does this chip matter? Well, if intel releases those chips early enough, and prices them right, and I mean really prices them right, since they literally have half the cores, I think intel might take back a small portion of the market. Van Gogh, which is AMD’s next-gen zen 3 and RDNA 2 chips are definitely going to fight back, but Intel will probably have a nice… Maybe 3+ months where they could shine. So yeah, impressive, but by no means groundbreaking.

Опубликовано: 6 янв. 2020 г.Hyundai made good on its promise to show off its flying car concept at CES, but its press conference demonstrated exactly how it envisages integrating such a vehicle into everyday life. In what it calls «liberation from gridlock» and the «democratization of flight,» Hyundai once again pointed at Uber as a vital ally in getting its flying cars into the skies. The rideshare platform wants to launch its Uber Air initiative in 2023, and Hyundai looks like it's got the goods to help it do exactly that.
Опубликовано: 6 янв. 2020 г.For Xbox gamers, the highlight of AMD's CES event was probably the sizzle reel that showed a 360-degree view of the Series X and all its ports. That is, until Microsoft clarified that the images were fake and came from a repository for 3D files. Thankfully, the chipmaker revealed and debuted a lot more things at CES, including a Dell G5 gaming laptop powered by its new «Renoir-H» Ryzen processor. It also launched the Ryzen 4000 chips, which will bring eight cores to ultraportables, as well as the Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU that's designed to deliver 1080p performance between 90 and 120FPS. The company also announced that its 64-core Threadripper 3990X will be available on February 7th for $3,990.
Samsung's 'SelfieType' aims to let you type on an invisible keyboard
Using nothing but your device's selfie camera
In context: When you think of keyboards, your mind is probably instantly drawn to the traditional, QWERTY-based physical devices you see in just about every modern home, business, and office throughout the world. Or perhaps you think of the smartphone and tablet-based digital keyboards many of us interact with daily. Either way, neither of these keyboard form factors are enough for some companies, and it seems Samsung is one of them.
The company today announced that it will be showing off five «innovative» products from its C-Lab start-up incubator. One of the products is «SelfieType,» a piece of software that can use a device's front-facing «selfie» camera — whether it's a laptop, smartphone, or tablet — to create an invisible keyboard for users to take advantage of.
To use SelfieType, you angle your device's front-facing camera toward your hands and begin typing. So long as all of your fingers are visible, SelfieType's «proprietary» AI engine should be able to analyze your finger movements and interpret them as valid key presses.
The software itself seems quite innovative, but in the real world, we wouldn't be surprised if users have a tough time using it. Just about every digital keyboard out there offers haptic feedback when a button is pressed — usually a quick vibration combined with an audible «click.» Further, when operating the average digital keyboard, users can see precisely which key they're pressing at any given moment, and mistakes are easy to fix.
By necessity, SelfieType appears to be throwing all of that out the window. The software doesn't seem to have any audio or
Опубликовано: 5 янв. 2020 г.This is as big as it gets — we get hands-on with a micro LED, 292 inch Samsung Television, called «the Wall». This is the new 2020 version of Samsung's «the wall», and while absurdly expensive, it's fully scalable — so it can potentially get even bigger. Found this year at CES 2020.
