The new post describes how the resulting, eye-catchingly bright and shiny SKU in question came to be.

Key specs of Intel's upcoming Raptor Lake refresh lineup have been leaked online. Except for the Core i7-14700K, all SKUs bring marginal improvements over their 13th-gen counterparts.

It appears that the Navi 32-based RX 7800 and the RX 7700 might be on the horizon as new information from Moore’s Law Is Dead suggests that AMD is getting ready to release the cards in a couple of months. The leaker has also claimed that the RX 7900 based on the cut-down Navi 31 GPU could see an unusual launch with constrained supply.

Lenovo has yet to unleash the latest version of its compact Android gaming tablet on the market. Nevertheless, the OEM has chosen to show off its most unique hardware feature in advance of this event. The Legion Y700 2023 will have not one, but two, USB-C ports, so that its owner can use connect peripherals to and charge the device at the same time.

There is speculation that the Tesla Cybertruck could end up being sold cheaper than what is expected due to a recent tweet made by Elon Musk.

Xiaomi has a bunch of devices scheduled to launch next month. Word on the grapevine indicates a launch event for the Redmi K60 Ultra and Redmi Pad 2, and also one for the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 and Pad 6 Max, with the latter two expected to remain exclusive to the Chinese market.

Xiaomi is expected to refresh its flagship 13-series Android smartphones with new T variants soon. Now, one of them, the 13T, is said to have popped up in a new leak. If so, it may outline RAM, storage, Wi-Fi and software specs for the upcoming mobile device.

A supposed manual related to the Nintendo Switch 2 has turned up on Twitter, although it is almost certainly a fan mock-up. The information in the mocked-up manual, which is in Italian, pertains to the so-called Joy-Con 2. There have been multiple pointers suggesting an early 2024 release for the next-generation (NG) Switch.

A new report says TSMC's 3 nm node has yields of just 55%. On the other hand, Samsung Foundry is faring much better at 60%. AMD is rumoured to use Samsung Foundry for some of its upcoming parts.

Recent leaks hinting at the addition of a new "Max" variant to Xiaomi's line of premium Android slates may have been augmented by another new tip. This one purports to confirm that the OEM has indeed just cleared a new tablet for sale in its native China. The device has the same charging technology as its putative Pro sibling.

The OPPO K series have been some of the more eye-catching Android mid-range smartphones around for the last few generations. However, according to a new leak, the upcoming K11 iteration has not inherited these looks, and just bears a suspiciously close resemblance to a pre-existing OnePlus device. On that note, the two are now also said to have the same SoC, display and main camera.

An electric vehicle social media influencer who claims to have spoken to confidential sources has sparked a rumour that the Tesla Cybertruck will launch with only one range and battery spec.

An official colouring book at a Tesla service station has opened up the speculation floodgates regarding the brand's upcoming electric pickup truck's bidirectional charging capabilities. It's unclear, though, whether the Cybertruck will also offer V2L, like its Ford-shaped competition does. The book's phrasing indicates some sort of high-voltage or high-amperage output, rather than the standard 240-V and 120-V output other manufacturers have implemented, although Ford does offer nearly 10 kW with its 240-V V2L functionality.

Realme has announced that the C53 is on the way as a "108MP Champion" for the masses. This formerly more premium spec is thus set to trickle down to a whole new tier of the Indian smartphone market. Then again, taking it up at this level may entail compromises in other ways, such as a large battery hampered by slow charging.

Xiaomi's upcoming first-gen car will debut as an electric vehicle (EV) with a more than respectable range, according to a new leak. Furthermore, it should be able to replenish its apparently sizable battery relatively quickly. Then again, these potentially impressive specs may not be exactly based on the most cutting-edge technology available.

The 12 has been unveiled as one of Redmi's most affordable new smartphones of 2023. It is now headed to India, hyped as a "Style Icon" with "Crystal Glass Design".

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE may still be months away from being released. However, leaker @OnLeaks has already shared CAD-based renders of the tablet, building on an earlier leak relating to the larger Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus. The Galaxy Tab S9 FE appears to be a cheaper alternative to the Galaxy Tab S9 with an 11-inch display, an Exynos 1380 chipset and 6 GB of RAM.

Reports of a future Tesla India manufacturing plant have resurfaced, stating, with some credibility, that the US EV maker is in talks with the Indian government to build a new plant in the country.

The K70 Pro is tipped to launch as Redmi's first Android smartphone to launch with the successor to the current top-end mobile processor from Qualcomm.

Samsung may finally allow its flagship Android smartphones to charge faster than they have for generations in 2024. This upgrade is said to come courtesy of new battery tech developed along the same lines as those intended for electric vehicles.

Xiaomi's Mix Fold 3 is already tipped to become the OEM's best-designed flagship foldable Android smartphone to date on its upcoming launch. However, according to a new leak, it may not be as advanced in certain other ways. They include the rate at which it can re-fill its battery, for a start.

A new unofficial Nintendo Switch 2 concept render has been shared online, offering a taste of what some fans think the NG Switch may look like.

The Redmi K60 (also known as the POCO F5 Pro for the international market) is now said to have a successor in the works. Accordingly, the "K70" is most likely to turn out as the vanilla variant of its upcoming line-up - however, it is also now tipped to launch with the same processor as the current K60 Pro. Then again, the K70 Pro is believed to do better than either in this respect.

It is also now tipped to come with a power brick in the box to help make sure it can charge at its top rated speed.

The Raptor Lake HX-based Intel Core i7-14700K has been benchmarked online. Overall, it is up to 18% faster than the Core i7-13700K. Its actual performance uplift could be higher once the CPU launches in October.
