nVidia GTX 760 v Radeon HD 7950: different technologies differing concepts When the 7950 was launched, back in 2012, it was at the vanguard of a new rethinking of AMD’s strategy. The company had achieved considerable success with its VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) vector architecture. This was a fairly blunt weapon designed to roll out large quantities of 3D graphics. However, the range of applications which a GPU typically has to handle, has widened considerably in recent years, with the high-end high-intensity Compute instructions only the visible tip of a broad mountain....

The Nord N10 5G, as its name implies, is the company’s second-ever 5G-capable affordable Nord device and, among other things, the first of the Nord series to launch in the US. The silence around the original Nord’s absence in the US was deafening when it launched in both Europe and India, back in July. The US has an established OnePlus fanbase, so the fact the company didn’t bring its hottest and most affordable new phone to the market seemed like a bit of a slap in the face to loyal fans at the time....

Philips 40PUT6400 review: Price Philips 40PUT6400 review: Design and features Cosmetics are neat and tidy, with a thin black bezel and wireframe pedestal stand. An illuminated logo pouts from the bottom of the panel; thankfully brightness can be moderated or switched off.

The TV has a quad-core processor and for now, Philips won’t reveal any other specifications. What we can tell you is that, on first impressions, the interface and experience is smooth and snappy. Philips’ Smart TVs of last year were particularly laggy. See also: Sharp 85in 8K glasses-free LED TV hands-on review. Philips has designed the interface so that it opens over the top of whatever you’re watching, rather than having a fairly picture-in-picture (pip) in the corner....

No matter – the 865 will only be sold to device manufacturers with 5G compatibility, meaning any phone with it will be able to connect to a 5G mobile network. This is big news for the mobile industry as we approach 2020. Until now, 5G has been a future technology, with few phones that support it. Now, many of 2020’s flagship Android phones will be 5G out of the box – something that might even be a surprise to some manufacturers, as less than a year ago LG suggested the LG G9 would stick to 4G, which now seems much less likely unless the company compromises on performance with a mid-tier chip....
