The M4 and its more powerful variants, the M4 Pro and M4 Max will reportedly arrive in a slew of Macs next month, but Apple is not being patient regarding the launch of future chipsets, as the M5 is said to be prepared for an unveiling next year. Just like the current-generation 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models that were treated to the company’s second-generation 3nm silicon, we could witness a similar launch schedule with the updated tablets

Epic Games Talks About Disney’s Persistent Universe In Fortnite

A few months ago, Disney invested $1.5 billion in Epic Games to create a persistent universe for its franchises in Fortnite, one of the most popular online games. The Verge has now disclosed that they have managed to get information about the venture from Epic Games EVP Saxs Persson at the Unreal Fest in Seattle.

The Mate 70 series launch could be just around the corner, with rumors claiming that Huawei is working at lightning pace to ensure that the upcoming flagship lineup is equipped with the new Kirin 9100. The only problem is that the former Chinese giant will have to foot a substantially large bill for its top-end silicon because the latest figure doing the rounds is claiming that the chipset could be nearly as expensive as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Rumor claims that the Kirin 9100 could

M4 MacBook Pro Review Posted By Russian YouTuber Reveals The Lack Of A Design Change, But Incredible Performance Uplift Thanks To Chipset Upgrade

Apple’s M4 MacBook Pro lineup that includes the 14-inch and 16-inch versions, will reportedly launch on November 1, but before the grand unveiling, a review of the smaller portable Mac has been posted on YouTube in what is possibly one of the craziest surprises to come across before the year ends. The video was uploaded by a Russian YouTuber, showing that the machine features the same design as the M3 versions, but you get a decent performance bump thanks to the M4.

FCC Has Temporarily Given License To T-Mobile And SpaceX To Launch Their Satellite Communication Service In Helene-Hit Areas

Hurricane Helene struck in late September 2024 and led to widespread devastation across the Southeastern U.S., and some of the hardest hit areas include South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida. The storm severely impacted communication infrastructure and many of the affected people were left without access to emergency services or relief. SpaceX promptly responded by deploying its Starlink satellite system in areas that were worse off to extend connectivity. Now, the relief efforts have escalated, with the FCC granting SpaceX and T-Mobile

SpaceX, NASA Stand Down From Launch To Jupiter’s Moon To Investigate Alien Life

NASA and SpaceX are standing down from the launch of the Europa Clipper spacecraft to Jupiter's icy moon. The launch was initially slated to take place on Thursday, and SpaceX encapsulated the spacecraft inside the Falcon Heavy rocket's payload fairing yesterday. The mission is a rare deep space launch for SpaceX, and it is the second launch of the Falcon Heavy in 2024 after the previous mission in June, which launched a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) weather satellite to geostationary orbit.

China Claims A Breakthrough In Silicon Photonics As It Tries To Circumvent US Export Controls On EUV Lithography

When you continuously throw billions of dollars of funding at a persistent problem, chances are that you'll eventually succeed. This has been China's playbook all along to try to find a way to declaw US export restrictions that have virtually eliminated the Asian giant's access to the cutting-edge Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. However, a recent development in the emerging field of silicon photonics has now reportedly advanced China a significant step closer to achieving self-sufficiency in the chip fabrication arena. For the benefit

First M4 Mac Gets Spotted In New Benchmark Leak, With Slightly Higher Single-Core, Multi-Core Scores Than The Same SoC Featured In iPad Pro Models

Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch five M4 Macs potentially on November 1, so it is hardly surprising to learn that one of them got spotted just a few minutes ago on a benchmarking database. Just like the powerful chipset powering the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models, we get to witness impressive single-core and multi-core results, with the latest figures marginally higher than what Apple’s incredibly thin slates achieved. Small performance boost thanks to the M4 Mac’s
