The new cheap Pentium G7400 is really fast, but even Zen 2 is enough for AMD to compete with it
More useful test results for the affordable Alder Lake generation Intel Pentium G7400 processor have appeared on the Web.
Recall that the CPU contains two large cores with support for Hyper-Threading and operates at a frequency of 4 GHz. Its suggested price is only $64, but it’s not yet clear what will happen to the actual prices. And motherboards for Alder Lake are far from the most affordable yet. Be that as it may, below you can see the results of the novelty in Cinebench and a comparison with conditional competitors.
Let’s start with the fact that the Pentium G7400 is about 30% faster than the Pentium G6400, that is, its direct predecessor. Technically, the old Athlon G3000 is outperformed by about a third. At the same time, the same far from the latest Ryzen 3 3200G based on Zen + is 10% faster. Yes, it has four cores, but there is no multithreading support, and the architecture debuted four years ago. Well, the more modern Ryzen 3 3100 with four cores and SMT is simply twice as fast or so. These are the maximum values taken from Cinebench R15. In R23, the situation is slightly different in favor of the new Intel, but globally nothing changes.
We can say that the base processor from Intel also turned out to be successful. Yes, the Ryzen 3 3100 is much faster despite being three years old, but it’s more expensive. Its recommended price is $100, and the real ones are much higher, although this situation is not the fault of AMD or Intel.
So far, it is generally unclear what the new Pentium will compete with. Probably with the updated Ryzen 4000 that we talked about just yesterday. But we don’t yet know if there will be a processor priced significantly below $100 in this line. At the same time, as we see in the Ryzen 3 3100 example, even the three-year-old Zen 2 architecture is quite capable of competing with Alder Lake solutions. In addition, as noted above, the question of real prices for the Pentium G7400 and motherboards for it remains open.

Is this iPhone possessed by the devil? The girl took a picture of herself in front of the mirrors and discovered that the reflections in the mirrors did not match her pose.
Modern mobile photography is increasingly turning into computational photography every year. And sometimes this results in very interesting incidents, as in the photo below.
At first glance, it may seem that everything is in order with the picture. But if you look more closely, you can see that the girl who published this photo looks different in two neighboring mirrors, and besides, neither of the mirrors reflects the girl’s real pose.
Creating such an image in Photoshop or another editor is not difficult, but the caveat is that this photo was taken on an iPhone without any further processing.
The reason for this result is actually quite simple. For some reason, the iPhone algorithms mistook the girl’s reflections for other people, and since modern photos are taken by gluing together many instantly taken photographs, we see that from somewhere in this set of photos the iPhone took one girl, from somewhere else, and then I glued it all together.
The funny thing is that in the past, when there was no talk of any modern smartphones or cameras, such a photo could have been regarded as the work of the devil.
Despite the fact that the official premiere of the Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition with a titanium case took place on October 26, it has not yet reached real sales. But some progress has already been made: the company has announced a date for pre-orders in China.
They will begin to be accepted on the Xiaomi Mall branded marketplace and other large platforms from December 5. It has not yet been announced when open retail sales will start. And it’s unlikely that things will come to this soon: on the Weibo social network, a Xiaomi representative said that the device will be available “in small quantities.”
Let us remind you that in terms of characteristics, the Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition is no different from the regular Xiaomi 14 Pro, the availability of which has no problems. But it has a titanium frame (99% titanium alloy) and only one configuration with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of flash memory. They are asking $920 for the titanium flagship.

Without 200 megapixels, but with flicker-free screens, new platforms and improved cameras. Honor 100 and Honor 100 Pro go on sale in China
Today, official sales of the Honor 100 and Honor 100 Pro smartphones started in China (their official premiere, we recall, took place a week ago).
The older model is offered in four configurations: 12/256 GB – $475, 16/256 GB – $525, 16/512 GB – $550, 16 GB/1 TB – $625.
The cost of the younger one is as follows: 12/256 GB – $350, 16/256 GB – $400, 16/512 GB – $450.
Honor 100 is built on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC, equipped with a 6.7-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1.5K and a frame rate of 120 Hz. The Honor 100 Pro SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and an OLED screen with a diagonal of 6.78 inches, a resolution of 1.5K and a frame rate of 120 Hz. The PWM control frequency of both models is 3840 Hz, so the displays do not flicker. The smartphones also received 5000 mAh batteries with support for 100-watt wired charging (the Pro version also supports wireless charging).
The Honor 100 Pro no longer has a 200-megapixel sensor in the main camera, but it has been replaced with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 of the top line. The camera of this model also has a 12-megapixel sensor (in the module with an ultra-wide-angle lens) and a 32-megapixel sensor (in the module with a telephoto lens). The younger model does not have a module with a 32-megapixel sensor.
