40-core Sapphire Rapids dual-socket part outed on Geekbench, scores nearly 30K, but trails behind the likes of the Ryzen 9 5800X

@BenchLeaks recently spotted a Geekbench 4 entry for a purported Intel Sapphire Rapids dual-socket part with 40 cores in total. The possible engineering sample scored roughly 30,000 on Geekbench 4, a ways off, even from weaker commercial parts like the Ryzen 9 5800X.

OPPO's new phone leaks through the EUIPO. (Source: 91Mobiles)

OPPO designs what might be its take on the Android gaming phone

OPPO has registered schematics for a new phone with the European Union's Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). It looks a lot like one of the new Reno6 series - except for the new chassis that seems intended to come across as much more "gamer" than the existing variants. Therefore, the OEM might be preparing a rival for devices such as the Redmi K40 edition in the same vein.

Ti(e)-ing with the 3090. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti arrives as a mid-cycle refresh to supplant the RTX 3080 as the company's fastest gaming GPU nine months after the company first introduced the Ampere architecture. The RTX 3080 Ti sports a slightly cut-down variant of the GA102 GPU that is found in the RTX 3090 with half the VRAM. We take the RTX 3080 Ti FE for a test drive and evaluate how this US$1,199 card stacks up against the RTX 3080 and the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT.
