Disable 5G to get more autonomy. Tests show that flagship SoCs consume significantly more power in 5G mode
Smartphones with 5G have long been the norm even in the budget segment, but as a recent study shows, it may make sense for some users to abandon 5G in favor of 4G, in return they will receive an increase in the autonomy of their smartphone.
Ookla tests show that running a smartphone on 5G networks leads to more power consumption, and the difference is noticeable. Depending on the single-chip system, the difference can reach 6-11%.
Qualcomm’s current top platform is the most efficient in 5G mode, while Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has a much larger difference between 4G and 5G modes than Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and in general the new SoC is much more energy efficient. In the case of Dimensity, the situation is the same: Dimensity 9200 is much more efficient than Dimensity 9000.
Thus, by switching to 4G, you can increase the autonomy of your smartphone quite well, although you still won’t be able to achieve some huge increase. However, here we see only tests of the flagship SoCs, and it is not clear if there is the same difference in the platforms of the lower segments.

Neither in Blender nor in V-Ray can the new Core i9-14900K outperform the “old” Ryzen 9 7950X
The results of testing the Core i9-14900K processor in tasks that can actually load modern multi-core processors have appeared on the Internet.
In Blender, the new product scores almost 560 points, which is 6% more than the Core i9-13900KS. This is good considering that these are technically identical CPUs. The new product is already 8% ahead of its direct predecessor, the Core i9-13900K. However, the Ryzen 9 7950X is still a little faster.
In V-Ray, the new Intel flagship showed a result of 27,790 points, ahead of the Core i9-13900KS by 5% and its predecessor by 8%. But here again the AMD flagship is ahead.
Of course, it was clear in advance that Raptor Lake Refresh would only be a very minor update (except for the Core i7, which will get more cores), but now we can verify this not only through the results from Geekbench.

Is an entire era of Samsung coming to an end? In the latest renders, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is almost indistinguishable from the S23 Ultra, but the screen of the new product will apparently be flat
The Samsung Galaxy S24, as we have already seen today, will be practically no different in appearance from the Galaxy S23. Now it has become clear that the same applies to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The same insider Steve Hemmerstoffer, known under the pseudonym Onleaks, also shared renderings of the older model of Samsung’s new flagship line. And here, too, it is very difficult to detect any differences.
In fact, they will be, but they will either not affect the appearance at all, or very slightly. For example, a titanium frame does not change the appearance of the smartphone. But you can see that the side edges will become even less curved than in the current generation, although they will not be completely flat.
In addition, judging by the images, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will have a flat screen. The glass itself is curved very slightly, but the screen looks like it will be completely flat. If so, then the Galaxy S24 Ultra will end the era of Samsung flagships and curved screens, which began with the Galaxy S6 Edge in 2015.
