21 2024 11 19 am by rich brome updated mar 21 2024 11 19 am the us justice department joined by 16 other attorneys general today filed a civil antitrust lawsuit against apple for illegal

qualcomm intros another chip for almost flagship phones mar 21 2024 5 30 am by rich brome qualcomm today announced the snapdragon 7 gen 3 mobile platform a chipset for high end phones that are just below flagship class this new chip sits just above the existing snapdragon 7 gen 3 in the lineup and right below the just announced snapdragon 8s gen 3 it brings a long list of improvements compared to last year s snapdragon 7 gen 2 that it replaces among these are many firsts for the 7 series such as on device generative ai dual npu with int4 precision for always on ai sensing a low power isp

coming months facebook comments qualcomm expands snapdragon 8 series to cover more price points mar 18 2024 1 30 am by rich brome qualcomm has revealed the snapdragon 8s gen 3 mobile platform an expansion of the 8 series to a slightly more affordable price point traditionally the 8 series like the new 8 gen 3 powered top end flagship phones and the 7 series chips powered affordable flagship phones one tier below that the s designator in 8s represents an expansion of the snapdragon naming scheme to create a new sub tier between 8 and 7 or 7 the specs of the new snapdragon 8s gen 3 are effectively a blend of the current 8 gen 3 and last year s 8 gen 2 qualcomm says that ai and camera are two areas where qualcomm hasn t compromised bringing over nearly the full capabilities of the 8 gen 3 this includes the ability to perform generative ai and run multi modal ai models with up to 10 billion parameters all on device the 8s gen 3 borrows several other features from full 8 gen 3 including arm cortex x4 architecture for the prime cpu core support for up to 24 gb of ram usb version 3 1 gen 2 and bluetooth 5 4 other specs are similar to last year s 8 gen 2 such as an x70 modem instead of x75 and 4200 mhz maximum ram speed instead of 4800 one area that puts it below both the 8 gen 2 and 8 gen 3 is video capture which tops out at 4k instead of 8k qualcomm expects the snapdragon 8s gen 3 to appear in phones launching globally and soon in a few months or even weeks read on for a more detailed comparison between the 8 gen 2 8s gen 3 and 8 gen 3 continued facebook

applications act moved quickly from proposal to vote and received broad bipartisan support passing 352 65 president biden has indicated he supports the measure and would sign it the bill s prospects

coverage across the country primarily in rural areas this new coverage is the result of the fcc s auction 108 for 2 5 ghz spectrum which concluded in late 2022 the newly acquired spectrum covers 80 million people and t mobile is lighting up 5g service in that band covering 60 million people over the next few days 2 5 ghz also known as band 41 is already the backbone of t mobile s 5g network offering the most bandwidth of any sub 6 ghz band which is why t mobile brands it as ultra capacity 5g as a mid band frequency it also offers a good balance of fast data speeds and good physical reach t mobile already owned licenses for this band and operated 5g service with it across much of the country but the 2 5 ghz band was originally licensed in an unusual way that left many geographic gaps auction 108 aimed to fix that and t mobile forked over 304 million to the fcc for licenses covering the gaps in its mid band 5g network the affected rural areas may have had 5g service before but only in other frequency bands that don t offer as much bandwidth resulting in relatively slow data speeds facebook comments tap to pay on iphone comes to venmo zettle mar 7 2024 11 33 am by rich brome
