The rover celebrated its second anniversary on Saturday. Perseverance landed on Mars on February 18, 2021 in Jezero Crater. Since then, the nuclear-powered six-wheeled rover has been studying geological features and collecting rock samples.

Scientists want to study Martian samples using laboratory equipment on Earth to look for signs of ancient microbial life and better understand the processes that shaped the surface of Mars.

As NASA noted:

After establishing the first sample warehouse on another planet, the rover continues its hunt for Martian rocks worthy of study on Earth.

Storage on the surface of Mars is considered a fallback in case Perseverance is unable to deliver samples to the lander. In this case, a couple of helicopters will be sent to complete the work for the samples.

Headphones Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 will measure the owners temperature

Huawei introduced the FreeBuds Pro 2+ wireless headphones. According to her, these are the world’s first headphones with the function of measuring the pulse and body temperature of its owner. The novelty is equipped with a dual-mode heart rate sensor and supports the “industry’s first 3D intelligent temperature measurement algorithm.” Data on the user’s heart rate and body temperature in real time is sent to his smartphone, and in case of suboptimal performance, the owner of the headphones will receive a notification.

As for the direct duties of Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+, sound reproduction, the headphones received 11 mm drivers, support for “deep bass” (low frequencies reach 14 Hz) and active noise reduction: a three-microphone system allows you to block extraneous noise up to 47 dB. The headphones also support Huawei L2HC and LDACTM codecs and provide high-definition spatial sound transmission. Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ has several sound playback modes, for example, as in a concert hall or a cinema, and a six-axis position sensor is responsible for tracking the movements of the user’s head.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ wireless headphones are made in white with a golden rim. They will go on sale in the Chinese market on April 7 this year at a price of 1,499 yuan (about $219).

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will get brand new and fully

According to recent data, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 single-chip system can receive a 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 format configuration.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will get brand new and fully 64-bit cores

According to insider Kuba Wojciechowski, we are waiting for one Hunter ELP super-core, which Qualcomm itself will call Kryo Gold Plus, two Hunter cores (Titanium), three Hunter cores (Gold) and two Hayes (Silver). The platform itself is codenamed Lanai or Pineapple.

If we compare this with early information, then we are probably talking about Cortex-X4, Cortex-A715, Cortex-A710 and Cortex-A510 / 515. However, the insider says that the Hunter and Hayes cores, that is, all cores, will be completely new solutions, that is, apparently, not Cortex-A715 and the others listed above. The new cores will not support 32-bit computing, which means that all 2024 flagships that will receive Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be fully 64-bit following the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.

In addition, the new platform will receive an Adreno 750 GPU with a frequency of 770 MHz, although this is not the final value.

Wojciechowski was previously the first to point out that Xiaomi will switch to using JLQ platforms. In addition, he was the first to discover information about the modified configuration of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

As you know, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX overclocks well if you can supply enough power to the card. The well-known overclocker Der8auer managed to raise the GPU frequency of such an adapter to 3.4 GHz.

Radeon RX 7900 XTX overclocked to 3.4 GHz on the core with a native cooling system.  Consumption increased to 650 W

The important thing is that the native liquid cooling system was enough to achieve such a result. The PowerColor Liquid Devil model was taken as the basis, which is one of the best overclocking options for the RX 7900 XTX, and at the same time it is equipped with liquid CO.

In 3DMark Time Spy Extreme, the adapter could operate at 3244 MHz, which earned it a score of 17,700 and took 13th place in the overall rating. In games, the frequency increased to 3.4 GHz. At the same time, the adapter consumed an impressive 650 watts.
