Intel is cooked - [hardware]
07:27 AM EST - Nov,10 2024 - post a comment Intel is getting everything it deserves. Intel invented X86, controlled the market for many years and made countless bucks doing so. However, Intel died as a "serious" company when management decided that the "bean counters" should determine the companies future direction. Intel sat on their collective ass, not innovating to a significant degree for years, blowing cash on other "non-serious" projects allowing AMD to currently exceed them in all areas. Couldn't happen to a better company considering how Intel conducted business where AMD is concerned.

Leaked specs of the Google Pixel 9a suggest you will be getting more for the same price - [mobile]
11:02 AM EDT - Oct,30 2024 - post a comment According to the fresh leak (via Android Headlines), the Pixel 9a could sport a 6.3-inch Actua display with a 60-120Hz adaptive refresh rate panel, which would put the device in line with the flagship, Pixel 9 and 9 Pro, in terms of screen size. The Pixel 9a is also tipped to measure 154.7 x 73.3 x 8.9, making it bigger in all aspects than both the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro.
Despite its large size, the phone reportedly weighs just 186 grams, a bit lighter than the Pixel 8a (188 grams). This could also mean that Google might have opted for polycarbonate instead of glass for the back panel. The Pixel 9a is expected to be powered by the Tensor G4 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB and 256GB storage options.
The phone could rock a 5000mAh battery and stick with 18W charging for wired and 7.5W for wireless charging. Coming to the cameras, the Pixel 9a is rumored to feature a 48MP primary camera and a 13MP ultra-wide lens. It was earlier reported that it will be the same 48MP lens as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which boasts f/1.7 aperture, helping the phone to capture better low-light photos. The selfie camera will stay at 13MP.
Google is also reportedly planning to keep the price of the Pixel 9a the same as the Pixel 8a, i.e., $499. Based on the leaked specs, you will be getting much better value and upgrades for the same price over the predecessor. The phone may also debut in two new color options. |
