Just the other day, we reported on the AMD Ryzen 3 2300X being benchmarked, and now it looks like another low-cost AMD processor is getting its due. The Hong Kong-based XFastest got its hands on an unannounced and unreleased Ryzen 5 2500X chip. Unfortunately, the only benchmark data XFastest shared about the Ryzen 5 2500X was with the chip overclocked to 4.3GHz through XFR in Ryzen Master. (Image Credit: XFastest)The testing platform supposedly included a X470 motherboard, 16GB (2 x 8GB) of RAM

We expect the LG V40 to launch in the second half of 2018, bringing with it flagship specs and a slightly more innovative approach than the ‘safer’ LG G7 ThinQ from May. It’ll carry a premium price tagLG V40 news and leaksWe’ve already seen a few LG V40 leaks, with the first coming back in April after Twitter leaker @evleaks posted the message “LG V40 is codenamed Storm.” In another tweet, @evleaks claims that the LG V40 launch date would be “late summer / early fall”, which falls in nicely with

The iPhones we see later this year may come in a variety of colors in one of the biggest departures from Apple’s normal color range we’ve ever seen. This isn’t like the Rose Gold color we’ve seen on some previous Apple handsets though, we would expect it to look more like the iPhone SE’s gold shade. The color range for the iPhone SE, including gold on the far rightA whole new rangeKuo also mentions the 6.1-inch LED iPhone, which will supposedly come in a larger color range with the bolder color

Razer’s new Optomechanical switch is possibly the most revolutionary thing we’ve seen in a desktop keyboard for years. Hahn, surprisingly, reveals that the Optomechanical switch has been subject to one of the longest product development cycles at Razer. “That’s how it comes to life.”The mechanical keyboard goes digitalThe Optomechanical switch is pretty much the closest thing to a digital mechanical keyboard.

Security researchers are arguing that passwords represent an increasingly wobbly method of verification, following the discovery of an exploit that can potentially discern a password using the thermal energy residue left on recently pressed keys. Gene Tsudik, a computer science professor at UCI, observed that an attacker could “capture keys pressed on a normal keyboard, up to one minute after the victim enters them”. two finger) typists were more vulnerable to this exploit, as the thermal traces

There’s not much news in the way of an iPad Pro 3 release date, but there is now evidence that it could be coming soon, as it may have just been certified by the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission). The approval, which was spotted by Nashville Chatter, is something we’d expect to see soon before a product goes on sale, so it could mean the iPad Pro 3 will land in the next couple of months. That said, the listing doesn’t refer to the tablet by name. They’re likely all variants of the same device,

The Honor 10 is a real mid-range bargain, costing half what most flagships do yet packing in almost as much tech and arguably an even more stylish build than most, so we have high hopes for the Honor 11. Likely at least £399.99 (around $540, AU$720)There aren’t any Honor 11 release date rumors so far and that’s no surprise, as we probably won’t see the Honor 11 for quite a while given that the Honor 10 only landed in mid-April. Hopefully the Honor 11 will be just as good value as the Honor 10Hon

Volkswagen and Renault have both announced plans for electric car-sharing services, designed to help reduce the environmental impact and overall energy usage of road travel. French automaker Renault is working closely with Paris officials to commence an ‘electric mobility’ initiative as early as September 2018, providing city residents with a car-sharing fleet available 24/7 – with a mind to integrating with transport services in the wider Île-de-France region. Meanwhile, Volkswagen has plans fu

Chinese tech giant Baidu has begun mass-manufacturing its Apolong self-driving bus as it prepares to take over the world’s roads. Baidu is launching an autonomous bus service in major Chinese cities including Beijing, Shenzhen, Pingtan and Wuhan – but it isn’t stopping there. The company is also partnering with phone operator SoftBank to bring a fleet of buses to Japan early next year. “2018 marks the first year of commercialization for autonomous driving,” said CEO and chairman Robin Lee. “From

Essentially, this is another unpredictable variable that is being thrown into the currently complex equation of supply and demand in the graphics card market. Right now, there’s reportedly a big surplus of GPU stock, certainly in Nvidia’s case, as the firm apparently overestimated demand from cryptocurrency miners. As the China-based Economic Daily News reports (via DigiTimes), no less than 70% of the cryptocurrency mining systems in China are located in Sichuan, where the serious flooding has o

Following the arrival of the Sony Alpha A7R III and the more enthusiast-orientated Alpha A7 III in recent months, speculation is turning to when we’re likely to see an update to the more video-focused Alpha A7S II. SonyAlphaRumors.com has gleaned information from two trusted sources that potentially reveals some of the spec we’re likely to see in an Alpha A7S III. What else do we know about the A7S III? As you can imagine, Sony is very nervous about information leakage, but we reckon the new Alp

Apple has just designated the original Retina MacBook Pro as ‘vintage’, which means that Apple, and Apple Authorized Service Providers, are no longer obliged to provide service or parts for the laptop. If you’re still running an original Retina MacBook Pro and something goes wrong, then you may now find it trickier to fix, as Apple will no longer be providing support. Apple devices that have not been manufactured by Apple for five years are designated vintage, while products that are older than

LG is joining the ranks of phone manufacturers working on foldable screen technology for a future device. Samsung, Huawei and Motorola are all rumored to be working on foldable screen tech for phones, and a new patent suggests LG is hard at work on a new phone form factor as well. The screen will only work when the phone is open, so you won’t be using any battery when it’s closed. LG has previously released a bendable phone in the form of the LG G Flex and G Flex 2, but it didn’t see fit to cont

With it’s detachable controllers and handheld screen, the Nintendo Switch makes for the perfect on-the-go retro gaming machine. And while Nintendo itself is taking its time before bringing its classics to the transforming console, there will be some vintage titles on the way thanks to SNK later this year. The SNK 40th Anniversary Collection packages up a host of much-loved coin-up titles in a pixel perfect format for Nintendo’s handheld. There are 11 titles announced so far, with more to join th

In fact, sources speaking to the TechTastic claim that the Galaxy Note 9 will be similar in its feature set to the Galaxy S9 Plus, although there will be a few differences. Apparently the Galaxy Note 9 will measure 162 x 76.4 x 8.8mm, which would make it slightly wider and thicker than the Galaxy Note 8. Bigger batteryThe best news though is the further confirmation that the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will feature a bigger battery, with its rumored 4,000mAh power pack being a significant step up from

According to leaker Ice universe – who has a reasonable track record – the Samsung Galaxy X will arrive at CES 2019, which runs between January 8-11, while the Samsung Galaxy S10 will land at MWC 2019, which takes place from February 25-28. Doing things this way around arguably makes more sense, since the Samsung Galaxy S9 range launched at MWC 2018, so this would be a year later. Declining salesStill, an extra month in the oven could prove more beneficial to the Samsung Galaxy S10, as according

The saga of whether or not the OnePlus 5 and the OnePlus 5T will be upgraded to support Project Treble has had its twists and turns, but everything turned out alright in the end – OnePlus has confirmed that these 2017 handsets will indeed get Treble support very soon. For those joining us late, Project Treble is Google’s latest initiative to get Android phones running more recent software more quickly. Last year a OnePlus rep said the OnePlus 5 and the OnePlus 5T wouldn’t be getting Project Treb
