Intel has come out and clarified that its 10nm processors aren’t in trouble – or cancelled altogether, as a recent rumor suggested – but that the firm is making ‘good progress’ with these Cannon Lake CPUs. And against that backdrop of disappointment, SemiAccurate reported yesterday that Intel had killed off its 10nm parts, because moving to mass production simply wasn’t financially viable, the article claimed. Media reports published today that Intel is ending work on the 10nm process are untrue

After some consistent leaks, we now have official word on Misfit’s new smartwatch and it’s called the Vapor 2.

There’s an AMOLED display on the front of the device, but we don’t currently know the exact screen size for either device. We won’t know that for sure until we’ve tested it though, and we don’t currently know how much RAM the Vapor 2 i

Developers noted how Spelunky dealt with several mechanics, establishing them as tenets of the genre; death, knowledge and randomization. Rogue Legacy, The Binding of Isaac, even Dark Souls all consider the balance of risk and reward. Consequence means a lot more in the Rogue genre because the decision can be catastrophic, do you take the money or see what’s behind the door? Knowledge comes from death and death is used as a tool. Videogames are often an escape from life, but Rogue games offer th

The demo is set to be playable at BlizzCon 2018, while people at home can also play if they have virtual tickets.

Videogames have gotten very good at presenting us with the illusion of free will but, in most cases, the choices we’re presented with don’t really matter. The ultimate illusionIt shouldn’t be surprising that videogames usually feel like linear experiences, because they are linear experiences. Ironically enough, this comes right after the Marshall finishes telling you how humans “think they have free will, but that’s just a lie – an illusion”. Future of freedomThere are games on the way that appe

However, even the top background blur modes in phones are not foolproof. Keep your distanceMost background blur modes recommend a distance of around 1.5 meters between you and the subject. Phone bokeh modes tend not to add any blur to these elements. Huawei’s background blur modes let you go all the way from f/0.95, for very pronounced blur, to f/16, a setting that adds no additional blur. You can get a degree of background blur by using the natural depth of field of the camera’s actual lens.

Linus Torvalds is back in charge of Linux, following a self-imposed break from his duties pertaining to the open source operating system. His temporary replacement, Greg Kroah-Hartman, announced the return of Torvalds in a post which detailed the release of Linux kernel 4.19, and the various tweaks and adjustments therein.

PC gaming audio has come a long, long way since when sound cards and digital surround sound were a big deal – to the point that you can get quality audio from a relatively affordable PC gaming headset. The HyperX Cloud Stinger , once lauded as one of the best PC gaming headsets on this very site, is an over-ear gaming headset that calls for just $49/£49 for what’s honestly a rather quality set of headphones. The costWhile the HyperX Cloud Stinger goes for just $49/£49, so do a few other competin

The foldable Samsung Galaxy X handset has been a long time coming and, after years of leaks and rumors, it seems the South Korean company is finally ready to reveal its newest smartphone. In a tweet announcing its developer conference to be held in November, Samsung has used graphics in a video that depict two lines unfolding to become a right-facing arrow, then finally settling into a single vertical line. The crossroads between the present and the future – Samsung Developer Conference is where

Brendan Iribe, the co-founder and former CEO of Oculus, has announced his departure from the VR company via a Facebook post , stating that it will be his first real break in over 20 years. This has led to a number of rumors circulating around the cancelation of the Oculus Rift 2, – the successor to the company’s PC VR flagship device – as Iribe had been leading the development team responsible for the device. According to TechCrunch , the reason for Iribe’s departure was due to “some internal sh

But it’s rarely mentioned in relation to what is most recognizably AI, namely digital assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. But where else do we find phone AI, or claims of it? The Google Pixel 2 uses machine learning to recognize peopleGoogle told us how it gets this to work in 2017, with the Google Pixel 2. Duplex emulates the pauses, “umm”s and “ahh”s of real people, and like Google Assistant, can deal with accents and half-formed sentences. Google Assistant, Siri and AlexaVoice-

e-SIMs are essentially an electronic version of the SIM card and work much like their physical counterparts sans the manual hassle. All users will have to do is scan a QR code from the network provider and a phone line will be activated on their iPhone. Apple is still working to bring e-SIM functionality to the masses via a software update later this year, although iPhone XS and XS Max users who are part of iOS 12.1 beta can take a crack at it contingent on carrier support. In the UAE, both du a

Gameplay footage from Red Dead Redemption 2 has leaked, just days before the game’s official release. A 20-second clip of the game was posted on Resetera by user Bliggup, which shows protagonist Arthur Morgan being hunted by law enforcement. The top-right corner of the screen shows Arthur is wanted, then, once they’ve caught up to him, the enforcers interrogate him. Rockstar has not removed the leaked Red Dead Redemption 2 footage, but it’s likely this will happen. Red Dead Redemption 2 is relea

However, the Kona does support both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and that turns the center display into an all-purpose car computer. Familiar and easyI tested CarPlay with a brand new iPhone XS Max on loan from Apple. I’ve tested CarPlay many times before, but mostly on higher-end cars like an Audi A6 and a Ford Expedition that already offered many tech features. Maybe someday the Apple interface will be the only thing you see, including the speedometer, some of the safety systems, the radio,

Nvidia has sneaked out a new variation of its GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card which runs with 6GB of memory, but unlike the previous top-end version of this GPU, it’s produced with faster GDDR5X memory rather than plain GDDR5. In other words, the 6GB variant of the GTX 1060 is now listed as having ‘6GB GDDR5/X memory’, with a memory speed of 8Gbps regardless of the version in question. That doesn’t mean the new GDDR5X flavor won’t be clocked faster, though, as Nvidia doesn’t list a later revision
