Sonnet catalog expanded with adapters for connecting two displays to computers on SoC Apple M1
Sonnet Technologies has announced the launch of the DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter and DisplayLink Dual HDMI Adapter. They are designed for Apple computers, which are based on the Apple M1 single-chip system. Each adapter comes with a non-detachable USB-A cable and comes with an adapter for USB-C compatibility. The adapter receives power from the USB or Thunderbolt port to which it is connected.
DisplayLink Dual Display adapters allow you to connect two 4K (3840 x 2160) 60Hz displays to a single port on your computer, either through DisplayPort or HDMI.
Apple’s latest 13-inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro offer great performance but only have two Thunderbolt/USB4 ports for connecting peripherals, including displays, one of which is used to charge the computer. More importantly, these computers natively support only one external display. DisplayLink Dual Display Adapters overcome this limitation by allowing you to connect two displays to one port at the same time, leaving the other port for charging or connecting an additional peripheral.
According to Sonnet, most dual display adapters are not compatible with Apple computers on the M1 SoC, only supporting lower resolution displays or only one display at 60Hz and the other at 30Hz or less. The new adapters are fully compatible with M1 Macs and other Macs running macOS. 10.15 and later, and from a PC running Windows 11 or 10.
The Sonnet DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter (USB3-DDP4K) and DisplayLink Dual HDMI Adapter (USB3-DHDMI) should be available in early February for a suggested retail price of $150.

The size of China’s computer industry has exceeded a third of a trillion dollars. Beijing has supplied more than 20 million servers to the market in six years
According to the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications Technology, over the past six years, Beijing has supplied the market with more than 20.91 million general purpose servers and 820 thousand servers based on artificial intelligence technologies.
The volume of China’s computer industry in 2022 amounted to more than $362.2 billion. This became known at the World Computer Conference 2023, which opened in Changsha, Hunan Province, Central China.
The conference is dedicated to the topic “Digitalization of the world to create a new era of change in the computer industry.” Its participants discuss issues such as digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence and smart society.
“The new generation of information and communication technology has changed the model of economic and social development,” said Zhao Zhiguo, chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Apple beat everyone again. The A17 Pro SoC in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max is manufactured using a 3 nm process technology and is capable of running modern computer games
Apple iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max smartphones are known to have received the A17 Pro SoC, and this is a very interesting platform that is currently unique on the market.
It’s worth starting with the fact that this is the first mobile single-chip system and, apparently, the first consumer chip in general, which is produced using the 3 nm process technology at TSCM facilities. Previously, information appeared on the Internet that Apple had purchased all orders for some time regarding this technical process.
The SoC configuration includes only six processor cores: two productive and four energy-efficient. There is also a 16-core NPU and a new six-core GPU. The last one is especially important here. Apple says this is the largest GPU redesign in iPhone history. Compared to the GPU in the Apple A16 Bionic, the new one is 20% faster. But at the same time, it supports hardware acceleration of ray tracing, and MetalFX Upscaling technology allows you to relieve the graphics core. And all of this together is enough to run full-fledged computer games on the new iPhone Pro: Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Death Stranding and Assassin’s Creed Mirage! Yes, we have yet to evaluate the quality of graphics, resolution, etc., but this takes mobile gaming to previously unprecedented heights.
The team of the popular WhatsApp messenger has announced good news for Apple computer users – a native application for macOS has become available.
The new and improved WhatsApp app, which was released earlier in 2023 for Windows, is now available for macOS users, according to the developers.
Group video and audio calls are available for the first time in the new WhatsApp app for macOS. Up to 8 people can participate in video calls, and up to 32 people in audio calls. Users can also view the call history and receive notifications of incoming calls even when the application is closed, share files by simply dragging them to the chat, and so on.
The new app is now available for download on WhatsApp.com and will be coming to the App Store soon.
