The final and highest-end addition to the Redmi K60 series had been linked to the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 in its last leak.

Apple's freshly-announced official itinerary for its latest World-wide Developer's Conference (or WWDC23) includes a day-long Special Event in addition to the usual keynote speech and State of the Union address.

Then again, the Android smartphone may also launch with mid-range specs compared to the 2022 class-leader.

Nvidia's next gen RTX 50 Blackwell with purported 144 SMs isn't reaching ambitious performance gains in internal testing, according to latest rumors.

This could imply that Nvidia might go for higher SMs counts with GB102 and possibly even a multi-chip module architecture similar to the purported GB100 datacenter GPU.

The "Razr 40" is thought to launch as one of Motorola's latest foldable smartphones.

Even though Ed Boon and WB's CEO specifically mentioned that Mortal Kombat 12 would be the title of the next MK game, it looks like this is no longer the case.

Nevertheless, they start for well under US$100 on their initial Chinese launch.
