MediaTek is currently believed to unveil an SoC based on an industry-leading 4 nanometer (nm) architecture in 2022. This would mean the OEM would skip the current top-end 5nm standard in the process.

Unfortunately no gaming tests, but we are still getting a first look at more relevant benchmarks like video encoding, CPU rendering in Blender and PC Mark. Of course, Alder Lake is dominating in the single core Cinebench R23 test, but beyond that, performance is either on par or slightly lower compared to the competition. It all might come down to pricing, as Intel's models seem to be at least $100 cheaper than the AMD counterparts, and the i5-12600K could indeed emerge as a best buy.

According processor specifications that were leaked by Twitter user APISAK, an unnamed third party has managed to push the upcoming Intel Core i9-12900K above the 5 GHz barrier. Although the speeds did not get above 5.1 GHz, hitting 5.08 GHz is still an impressive achievement for a 16-core processor.

GoPro's action camera retailed for €479.99 in the Eurozone last year, but this year's model will cost a lot more than the Hero 9 Black does. Reportedly, the Hero 10 Black will be over 10% more expensive than its predecessor, which is a lot to pay for the new features that it will offer.
