Geekbench accused Samsung of manipulating benchmarks
Removed The Galaxy flagship from the past four years
Recently, it was reported that the Samsung S22 series has adjusted the mobile performance scheduling around the GOS game optimization service, and a total of about 10,000 applications have been limited in performance. Samsung responded that the move was originally intended to prevent the device from overheating, and in the upcoming update that will follow, it will provide users with a mode that prioritizes performance.
But Geekbench, a well-known running score software, blamed Samsung for this behavior, saying that Samsung was manipulating the benchmark, and then removed Samsung's four-generation S-series flagship from the benchmark for the past four years. The products that were removed were: Galaxy S10 Series, S20 Series, S21 Series and the newly released S22 Series.
It is worth mentioning that Geekbench's policy is that once a device is removed from the benchmark, it means that it will not be added back. But that doesn't mean that Samsung phone users won't be able to continue testing with geekbench software, but rather that delisted devices won't be listed in the benchmark results directory.
Apple Studio Display 7K display exposure
7K resolution, equipped with M1 self-developed chip
According to foreign media 9to5mac, Apple has been developing a new "Apple Studio Display", which is higher than the Resolution of Pro Display XDR. While it's unclear whether the new Apple Studio Display is a replacement for the Pro Display XDR or a new option with unique features in the lineup, people familiar with the matter told 9to5Mac that the new display has 7K resolution.
In comparison, the Pro Display XDR has a 32-inch 6K (6016 x 3384) panel with 218 pixels per inch. The higher resolution could mean that the new Apple Studio Display will have a higher pixel density (245 PPI), or it will remain the same 218 PPI as the Pro Display XDR, but on a larger 36-inch panel.
The 9to5Mac reported in July 2021 that Apple has been testing a new external display codenamed "J327" with a built-in A13 chip. It turns out that the Apple Studio Display is the same J327 model, which means that Apple is still developing external displays using dedicated Apple Silicon chips.
Bloomberg Mark Gurman recently reported that Apple plans to launch several new Macs in 2022, as well as a new external display, which is half the price of the Pro Display XDR for the average user. In the past, Apple's "Cinema Display" series was available in a variety of sizes. So it wouldn't be surprising if the company were to offer its customers two or more display options again.
The NVIDKA King RTX 3090 Ti was available at the end of the month
It was revealed that it was delayed due to obvious problems
At this year's CES 2022, NVIDIA released the RTX 3090 Ti flagship graphics card. But there are no detailed specifications, no prices, and no time to market. At the press conference, Jeff Fisher said that more news about the RTX 3090 Ti will be announced later in January, but until now, NVIDIA has not launched this graphics card. According to ChipHell, there seems to be a problem with the RTX 3090 Ti's video memory.
According to ChipHell's latest news, Nvidia's long-delayed RTX 3090 Ti will be unblocked on March 29, and the previously rumored RTX 3070 Ti 16GB version has been cut. The message also said that the problem with the RTX 3090 Ti was larger than originally expected, mainly because the video memory had to be replaced. Manufacturers who have not yet determined the PCB design scheme can directly upload new video memory, and those that have been determined can only return and replace.
It is understood that the RTX 3090 Ti will be the first game card to use the full-blood version of the GA102 core, turning on all 10752 stream processors, 84 light chasing units, 336 tensor units, 336 texture units, and the core frequency is increased to 1560-1860MHz. At the same time, the GDDR6X display maintains a capacity of 24GB while increasing the frequency to an unprecedented 21GHz, bearing in mind that even the RTX 3090 is only 19.5GHz. It may also be that the frequency setting is too high, which is the problem.
In addition, the RTX 3090 Ti will consume 450W of power, a full 100W more than the RTX 3090. It is reported that the card will be equipped with a new 12-pin power supply interface for the first time, with a maximum power supply capacity of 450W, while the next-generation PCIe 5.0 graphics card will have a 16-pin interface and a maximum power supply of 600W.
TSMC's 3nm process is about to start production
iPhone 14 or will be launched
Previously, there were media reports that TSMC planned to officially mass-produce the 3nm process process in the second half of 2022, but encountered the problem of low yield in the production process, which affected the product planning of customers such as Apple, AMD and Nvidia. There is widespread speculation that TSMC may delay the mass production of the 3nm process.
However, according to techpowerup reported yesterday, TSMC is currently actively promoting the 3nm process process, and may officially mass-produce N3 nodes in the second half of 2022, while the mass production of N3E nodes may be in the second half of 2023. It is reported that the node density of TSMC's 3nm process is 60% higher than that of 5nm, which has better performance and power consumption.
The report also said that Apple and Intel will divide the first wave of TSMC's 3nm process capacity equally, and the specific product may have the iPhone 14 series to be released in the fall of 2022, which will use the A16 processor created by TSMC's 3nm process.
