NASA has released an impressive new photo taken from the Curiosity rover, which continues its work on Mars. The rover “captured a stunning view of the changing landscape of Mars,” the agency said in a statement.

The photo was taken on May 2, 2022. The dark boulders visible in the center are believed to have formed from sand deposited in an ancient stream or lake, NASA said. NASA explains:

The clay minerals were formed when lakes and streams flowed through Gale Crater, depositing at what is now the base of Sharp, a 5-kilometer-high mountain whose foothills Curiosity has been climbing since 2014. Up the mountain, in the transition zone, Curiosity observations show that streams have dried up and sand dunes have formed over lake sediments.

As the rover climbs higher, it finds less clay and more sulfate in the rock. Curiosity will soon drill the last rock sample in this zone, which will provide a more detailed picture of the changing mineral composition of this region.

Lenovos first AI laptop will be very quiet but not

Lenovo has published a teaser dedicated to its first AI laptop – Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024. One of the main features of the device will be low noise level.

Lenovo's first AI laptop will be very quiet, but not always.  Details about Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024

The image shows the cooling system of the Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024. Everything here is pretty standard for a model that does not have a dGPU: two heat pipes and two fans. The creators say that the minimum noise level of the system will be only 17 dBA, and this is really low. But there is a nuance: we are talking about noise at the minimum fan speed in energy saving mode. And although Lenovo says that the laptop’s performance in this mode will be high, it will still be far from what the Core Ultra processor can show in maximum performance mode.

The official premiere of the new product, apparently, will take place this week – immediately after Intel introduces the CPU Core Ultra. Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024 will receive 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, an 84 Wh battery (the predecessor has 75 Wh) and support for 100-watt charging.

The iPhone 16 and Galaxy S24 lines will not receive

Samsung smartphones from the Galaxy S24 line and devices from the iPhone 16 line will likely retain the same RAM options that current models currently have.

The iPhone 16 and Galaxy S24 lines will not receive an increase in RAM compared to their predecessors, despite the hype around AI

Analysts at Mizuho Securities, cited by insider Revegnus, say that the growing demand for AI should, in theory, contribute to the growth of RAM in smartphones. We previously reported that thanks to the emphasis on AI, manufacturers may begin to actively equip their smartphones with 16-24 GB of RAM.

However, a significant increase in memory prices, as well as the still missing scenarios for local AI that will run directly on smartphones, will lead to the fact that next year manufacturers will not actively increase the amount of memory. In particular, Samsung and Apple can leave everything as it is now.

This means that the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will each receive 6 GB of RAM, and the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will each receive 8 GB. Samsung’s new generation flagships will have 8 or 12 GB of RAM.

It is likely that other manufacturers will not rush to increase volumes, and this, in turn, may slow down the development of local AI on smartphones.
