Apple and Google are competitors in many ways, but they have now teamed up to spearhead an initiative to develop an industry specification to combat unwanted tracking.

Google and Apple have teamed up over a common threat.  Companies lead initiative to develop industry specification to combat unwanted tracking

We are talking about the problem of surveillance using Bluetooth tags. The two industry giants understand the gravity of the problem that has emerged in recent years. Therefore, companies have submitted an industry specification to help combat the misuse of Bluetooth devices for location tracking.

This first-of-its-kind specification will make eligible Bluetooth devices compatible with the Tampering Detection System. The system will later be integrated into iOS and Android, that is, users will receive warnings about a suspicious tracker directly from the system. When this will be implemented is still unclear, but by the end of this year, the companies promise to release a production implementation of the specification.

Samsung, Tile, Chipolo, eufy Security and Pebblebee have already nominally joined the initiative.

Is Dimensity 9300 Enough Power for PC? MediaTek confirmed the use of Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A720 cores, but did not mention small cores

Is Dimensity 9300 Enough Power for PC MediaTek confirmed the

It looks like the Dimensity 9300 single-chip system will be incredibly powerful. Perhaps, already at the start, it will easily overtake even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. MediaTek has confirmed that its new solution will use the Cortex-X4 cores that were introduced yesterday.

In addition, the configuration of the new SoC will include Cortex-A720 cores and Immortalis-G720 GPUs. It is important to note that MediaTek did not mention anything about the small cores of the Cortex-A520 or any other. And some time ago, an insider Digital Chat Station reported that Dimensity 9300 will receive four Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720. That is, apparently, the new platform will not have small cores at all. Of course, it’s too early to talk about this confidently, but so far MediaTek’s statement indirectly confirms the rumors.

Recall that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, according to available data, will have a configuration of 1 + 5 + 2, that is, there will be only one super-core, and there will be two small cores. This configuration is unlikely to compete with the 4 + 4 of the Dimensity 9300.

It also becomes clear from MediaTek’s statement that at least the company’s upcoming top platform will not receive an Nvidia GPU. Such rumors have already appeared twice on the Web, yesterday the companies confirmed them, but so far this only applies to automotive platforms.

We are talking about a battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh and charging power of 100 watts. This or similar combination is almost never found on the market. In fact, there are only Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro and iQOO Z7X with such batteries and 80W charging.

Digital Chat Station insider says that such a device will soon be released by one of the Chinese brands that are part of the BBK concern. Recall that it includes Oppo, OnePlus, Realme, Vivo and iQOO.

From this list, probably only OnePlus is unlikely to release such a smartphone, and the rest of the companies may well.

Digital Chat Station was previously the first to accurately announce the specifications and release dates of Redmi K30, K40, Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 11.

The Dual Fan SSD Heatsink model consists of a small heatsink and a pair of tiny 20mm fans. How noisy they are is anyone’s guess. From the rest, you can highlight the presence of illumination.

As tests show, drives with PCIe 5.0 do need additional cooling, but models with active CO are often very noisy.
