4-liter V8 and 1400 hp Real Hongqi S9 ready for production in Italy
The Hongqi S9 sports car has been shown in public this time at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, designed for classic, vintage and sports cars. The event was also attended by Pagani, Bugatti, Maserati and other sports cars.
Hongqi confirmed that they are determined to complete this project. However, the prototype of the car is not yet final. It turned out that the Hongqi S9 uses a small internal combustion engine, which is only enough to move the car under its own power.
However, Hongqi representatives mentioned that the previous problems with the Hongqi S9 have been resolved, and soon the sports car will be put into production in the Emilia-Romagna region, where Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani factories are located. There, FAW has a joint venture with Silk EV.
Hongqi S9 debuted in 2019. It was reported that it will use a 4-liter V8 engine and electric motors with a total power output of 1400 hp. Its acceleration time from zero to hundreds will be about 1.9 seconds. As for the maximum speed, it should be 400 km / h. Sales planned to start two years ago.
The real Hongqi S9 is different from the prototype shown earlier. It is finished in black and has a chrome finish. The car gets one central windshield wiper, several huge air intakes, a large rear spoiler and a diffuser.

Diablo IV is even on the “iron”. In Full HD, you can get by GeForce GTX 670 with 2 GB of memory

Diablo IV has already become available for a number of players, and the authors of Tom`s Hardware decided to test the game on different video cards, including very old ones, because the project has low system requirements, and gamers who participated in the beta test reported that the game feels great on older GPUs.
It turned out that even old 3D cards like the GeForce GTX 670 are enough for normal operation of the game in Full HD at minimum graphics quality settings. Even such an adapter with only 2 GB of memory provides more than 60 fps, although the 1% Low indicator drops up to 28 fps. The GTX 1050 performs better, hitting 56 fps and around 40 fps for 1% Low.
At the same resolution, but already at the maximum graphics quality settings, the GTX 1050 is no longer enough, as the 1% Low value drops to 15 fps. But the GTX 970 or RX 570 handles the game without any problems.
In the same mode, but at 1440p resolution, it is better to get something like the RX 590 or GTX 1070, although the activation of FSR 2 allows you to continue using the same GTX 970.
4K resolution traditionally places much higher demands on the graphics subsystem. Here you already need a video card of a level not lower than the Radeon RX 6600, but better than the RTX 3060. For the cherished 60 fps, you will have to buy at least an RTX 4060 Ti or RX 6700 XT.
It is also worth noting that the game does not currently support ray tracing, but soon such a mode will appear, which will increase the requirements for the GPU.

The next brainchild of Microsoft will go to rest. The company will stop supporting the Cortana app on Windows at the end of the year.

Microsoft is about to completely stop supporting the Cortana voice assistant. Already from the end of this year, support for this application will cease, although the company has not yet announced the exact date.
In general, this was more than expected, since the assistant introduced in 2015 did not gain popularity from the very beginning, and even Microsoft itself quickly stopped somehow promoting it. Now the company has unveiled the Windows Copilot tool, which will offer much the same as Cortana, only bigger and better.
Actually, in Windows 11, initially Cortana did not have any significant place and did not appear when the OS was first loaded.
However, Microsoft notes that the changes will only affect Cortana on Windows, while the assistant will still be available in Outlook Mobile, Teams Mobile, Microsoft Teams display and Microsoft Teams room.

They are giving up the iPhone. Motorola reveals 20% of Razr foldable smartphone buyers are ex-iPhone owners

Motorola isn’t even close to being the market leader in foldable smartphones, but its Razr models have proven to be a big draw for iPhone owners.
In an interview with CNet, Allison Yi, head of Motorola’s North American product division, said that of all Motorola’s products, the foldable Razr is the most popular among iPhone owners.
This is definitely the family we have the most iPhone users moving to.
It turns out that 20% of Razr buyers are former owners of Apple smartphones. They are probably attracted by the fresh form factor in which the iPhone is not presented and probably will not be presented for a long time. At the same time, we must remember that we are talking about North America, where, in addition to the Razr, only the Samsung Flip is in this form factor.
Motorola recently unveiled its new foldable smartphones, including the revolutionary cheap (in China) Moto Razr 40, but in the US, only the older Razr Plus (called the Moto Razr 40 Ultra in China) will sell for $1,000.
