Apple did shock many of its fans when it launched the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models back in 2022 without its latest processor. Both models were unveiled with the previous year's A15 Bionic, which was an SoC manufactured using the 5nm process. The more expensive iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models came with the latest Apple A16 Bionic instead, which used the newer 4nm manufacturing process. Apple went on to repeat the same with this year's iPhone 15 launch, revealing yet another iPhone 15 model with last year's A16 Bionic SoC, while the top-end Pro models received a brand-new A17 Pro SoC. While it seems like using old SoCs in its lower-priced iPhone is soon becoming a standard practice for Apple, it appears that this may not be the case with next year's iPhone 16 range. According to a report by Wccf Tech, which spoke to industry analyst Jeff Pu from Haitong Securities, Apple could offer the same new processor in next year's base iPhone 16 models as the Pro models. Pu in the report claims that all new iPhone 16 models, which includes both the lower-priced iPhone 16 models and the high-end iPhone 16 Pro models will use the same A18 Pro processor, which will be announced by Apple next year. The analyst also states that the SoC will be manufactured by TSMC using its second-generation N3E 3nm process node. This year's iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are indeed quite the leap in terms of processing power versus the high-end Qualcomm silicon powering premium Android smartphones this year. This is because Apple became the first company to release its own processor, which is manufactured using the more efficient 3nm process, versus the 4nm process which most Android smartphone manufacturers are currently utilising. This is expected to change when the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC-powered smartphones arrive, which uses the more efficient 3nm manufacturing process. The second-generation 3nm process node is expected to provide better yield allowing more processors to be manufactured on a single silicon wafer. TSMC currently uses the N3B process node to build Apple's current generation A17 Pro processor. Efficiency in such processors is usually connected to the manufacturing process, because the drop in process nodes allows more transistors to be packed into the same space, which allows for more power and better efficiency, also letting the devices being powered by these processors last longer in terms of battery life.

Apple is rumored to be considering making changes to the next version of the Vision Pro – still some way off, given the first-gen model is yet to launch, of course – around slimming down the headset’s size and weight. In Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter (for Bloomberg), the well-known Apple leaker told us that the company is mulling some notable improvements for the next-gen Vision Pro on the comfort front. Gurman observes that with some feedback from testers expressing concerns about neck strain due to the weight of the headset, Apple wants to make the next-gen device both lighter and more compact. This may be a key focus for the next iteration of the Vision Pro, as Apple fears that the weight of the incoming first device “could turn off consumers already wary of mixed-reality headsets,” Gurman asserts. The Vision Pro can feel too heavy for some folks, even during shorter periods of use, we’re told. Reducing the weight of next-gen Vision Pro is the priority by the sounds of it, with any size reduction likely to be much less noticeable (and harder to achieve). As 9 to 5 Mac, which spotted this, further points out, Apple actually already made the incoming first-gen headset more compact – with a trade-off. Namely, the design doesn’t give room for people who wear prescription glasses to be able to fit those in. So, that creates a separate issue in catering to spectacle wearers, and Apple’s solution is to implement a system of prescription lenses that magnetically attach to the 4K displays for the headset. That’s not ideal, though, for a lot of reasons. It’s a headache for retailers in terms of stocking the huge number of lens prescriptions they’ll have to deal with – having to find the right one for a glasses wearer not just if they’re buying, but also if they’re simply wanting to try out the headset. Another obvious downside is that the owner’s glasses prescription may well change in the future (ours certainly does, repeatedly), so again, there’s the hassle of having to get new lenses for your Vision Pro too. It seems Apple is mulling the idea of shipping custom-built headsets directly with the correct prescription lenses preinstalled, but there could be problems with that, as well. Gurman noted: “First, built-in prescription lenses could make Apple a health provider of sorts. The company may not want to deal with that. Also, that level of customization would make it harder for consumers to share a headset or resell it.” Whether that whole thorny nest of glasses-related issues can be tackled with the Vision Pro 2, well, we’ll just have to see. Analysis: Long-term vision for success So, it seems like the weight of the Vision Pro might be an issue from early testing feedback. That said, in his try-out session, our editor-in-chief found the headset “relatively comfortable” and so wasn’t critical on that front. But 9 to 5 Mac’s writer observed that while shorter sessions are likely to be fine, they could “absolutely see getting tired of wearing [the headset] after extended sessions.” This may vary from person to person somewhat, it’s true, but it sounds like if Apple is indeed planning to make the next-gen headset lighter, the firm is recognizing that things in this department are less than ideal. At any rate, while it’s good to hear this, we’ll only really know how the Vision Pro shapes up on the comfort front when it comes to full review time. For us, though, the most uncomfortable part of the Vision Pro experience is the price. Even just looking at that price tag makes our hearts heavy, as we won’t ever be able to afford the thing. At $3,500 in the US (around £2,900, AU$5,500) – and remember, the prescription lenses will add to that bill, especially if you need multiple lenses for different family members – the Vision Pro is just too rich for our blood. We just can’t see that price flying with consumers when Apple’s headset hits the shelves next year in the US (in theory early in 2024). Especially with mixed reality and VR headsets in general being a niche enough prospect as it is. Indeed, Meta’s Quest 3 is so, so much more affordable in comparison, and for the money represents a great buy. It’s not like Apple doesn’t realize all this, of course, and we’ve already heard chatter on the grapevine about how a cheaper Vision Pro model might be inbound – which more than any other improvement, would be fantastic to see.

Silk-based transistors could lead to the development of new microprocessors mimicking neural networks, self-learning circuits, and direct memory storage. Or just be used for sensors, according to TechXplore. Scientists at Tufts University Silklab have developed a new class of transistors that intertwines biological elements with electronic components. By using silk fibroin as an insulator, these transistors offer an interactive response to biological and environmental stimuli, opening doors to a range of health applications. In addition, these transistors could be used in bio-interactive electronics, though this will require a change in the semiconductor industry, something that is unlikely to happen in the near term if at all. Silk fibroin, an organic material, replaces conventional inorganic insulators commonly used in electronic components. Silk fibroin's attributes allow for precision in deposition onto surfaces and for modifications using various biological and chemical molecules, enhancing its adaptability and interaction with biological and environmental elements. The practical applicability of these hybrid transistors was showcased in a prototype breath sensor, demonstrating exceptional sensitivity to humidity changes. This signifies the potential for these transistors in medical diagnostic equipment, including devices for detecting cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases, and sleep apnea, as well as monitors for blood oxygenation, glucose levels, and more. "Having achieved that, we can now make hybrid transistors with the same fabrication processes that are used for commercial chip manufacturing," said Beom Joon Kim, a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Engineering at Tufts University. "This means you can make a billion of these with capabilities available today." The intricate operation of the silk-based transistors lies in the mani[CENSORED]tion of the ionic composition within the silk. This mani[CENSORED]tion allows for variable information processing, akin to the functionality seen in analog computing. Such a nuanced operational approach enables the transistors to interact with a spectrum of biological and environmental factors, with the potential to revolutionize computing processes within modern microprocessors. According to the researchers, the successful nanoscale processing of silk can be integrated seamlessly with existing commercial chip manufacturing technologies. This compatibility could herald the possibility of evolving current electronic devices and systems to include billions of biologically interactive transistors. This could lead to the development of advanced microprocessors, akin to neural networks in artificial intelligence, self-adapting circuits, and direct memory storage capabilities in transistors, the researchers said. "Looking ahead, one could imagine having integrated circuits that train themselves, respond to environmental signals, and record memory directly in the transistors rather than sending it to separate storage," said Fiorenzo Omenetto, the head of the Tufts University Silklab.

The three-day Adobe Max 2023 event in Los Angeles is in full swing, and the leading name in digital photo, video, and design suites unveiled major updates to its Creative Cloud, including – you guessed it – the latest AI-powered editing and generation tools. Adobe’s Creative Cloud which includes Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator, has received a bumper update this year, and the next-gen Firefly plays a leading role. There’s too much to sensibly cover here, so let’s take a closer look at the headlines for the respective platforms. Adobe’s next generation Firefly In the video short (above), Aya, an Adobe Product Manager on ‘Project Stardust’, talks us through Adobe’s new object-aware editing engine that is “going to revolutionize the way we interact with Adobe products”. The video shows an image file being imported into the next-gen Firefly editor, where AI-powered non-destructive edits can be made. A yellow suitcase in a model’s hand is selected and becomes a new layer that can be moved around within the frame or deleted, and content-aware intelligently fills the background space left behind. We are then taken through generative word prompts, putting yellow flowers in the hands of the model instead of the suitcase. In another example (below), we see Firefly’s improved image generation capabilities. All of this is nothing new per se, and it’s clear even from the first demo on a small display that there are artifacts where the yellow suitcase has been removed, but the ease with which these edits can be made seems to be another level from Adobe’s beta AI Firefly interface. Firefly works across Photoshop, Express and Illustrator, and includes the world's first generative AI for vector graphics, powering Text to Vector Graphic in Illustrator, with editable graphics including icons, scenes and patterns. Put simply, the latest Firefly engine appears smarter, more versatile and more powerful, with a greater understanding of text prompts that can create commercially-ready assets just from a sentence of text. Firefly can recognize more landmarks and cultural symbols, give guidance to either expand or reword a prompt, and yield better results. It's not perfect, but it certainly is impressive and sees Adobe take a step forward from the competition. New photo editing tools Outside of Firefly’s generative AI, Adobe has added a host of tools for Photoshop and Lightroom. In the promo video (above), Adobe shows a new Lens Blur tool for Lightroom, which acts much like a smartphone's portrait mode, adding a blur to the background to make subjects stand out from their surroundings. The shape of the bokeh (out-of-focus points of light) can be changed to any one of five options, including perfect circles – again a tool we see on flagship handsets like the Huawei P60 Pro. Other Lightroom tools include improved HDR optimization and Point Color which helps photographers make precise, accurate, and detailed color refinements. And as more concerns over what is real and what is AI-generated arise, Adobe has highlighted its Content Credentials support for new file types, which serve as a digital “nutrition label”. Content Credentials provide information about the creator, date, edits – including those generated by AI – and tools used from start to finish of a digital file. This is a step up from a photographer simply adding copyright to their photos for ownership – it's proof of authenticity for those who wish to be more informed about what has and hasn't been changed in the photo. In the example of penguins in a desert (above), Content Credentials indicate that at least one element in the image has been generated with an AI tool. Adobe Max 2023 marks an evolution for the leading name in the creative digital space, an AI evolution that is rapidly enhancing what we can do in the editing suite. It's not perfect, but it's fun, it's speeding up the editing process, and shows plenty of promise.

According to a new report published by International Data Corporation (IDC), the AI server market is surging in China. Based on IDC’s latest market data, the size of the accelerated computing market in China grew an impressive 54% from H1 2022 to H1 2023. Moreover, the corporation forecasts that the market, valued at US$3.1 billion, will grow to US$16.4 billion by 2027. Before we ponder the forecasts, it is worth looking at the state of the China AI market more closely today. IDC says that GPU servers still dominate the market in 2023, accounting for 92% of servers deployed. The remaining 8% of servers are said to be accelerated by processors such as NPU, ASIC, and FPGAs. IDC also focuses on who is creating these AI servers for the Chinese market. It observes that Inspur, H3C, and Ningchang are the top three suppliers, accounting for more than 70% of the market. Regarding what kinds of businesses are using AI, IDC asserts that the most significant users of AI are still internet services. Servers dedicated to AI internet service enhancements make up about half of the market, with the remaining demand coming from the financial, telecommunications, and government sectors. With the whole market on the up, it isn’t surprising to hear that all these sectors want more AI and have doubled their AI server use over the most recently surveyed period. IDC provided some reasoning behind the growth in AI server adoption. It notes that AI is moving from narrow specific tasks like image and speech recognition to more comprehensive, human-like intelligence tasks like generating content and steering decisions. In the future, it sees newer, larger AI models providing better solutions in areas such as the metaverse, urban governance, medical health, scientific research, and more. IDC reckons Chinese companies seeing AI's most significant benefits so far are set to drive investment in this technology over the next three years. It forecasts that “China’s accelerated server market will reach US$16.4 billion by 2027.” Interestingly, it sees non-GPU servers grabbing a larger share of the AI server market over that time, but not by very much, rising from 8% to 12% by 2027. Whether this change will be spurred by demand/supply and geopolitics or by improved AI accelerating ASICs isn’t made clear. Last, IDC notes that China’s local AI chip makers are rapidly growing, with government support accelerating progress. The latest figures show that half a million locally sourced/developed accelerator chips were used in AI servers in China in H1 2023. That quantity addressed 10% of the entire server market in the country.

Musician Name:Carolina Giraldo Navarro Birthday / Location: February 14, 1991 (32 years old) Medellín, Colombian Antioquia Main instrument: Urbano Reggaeton Musician Picture: Musician Awards & Nominations:- Best Performance: - Other Information: Carolina Giraldo Navarro (Medellín, February 14, 1991), known professionally as Karol G (stylized in lowercase letters), is a Colombian singer and songwriter. She is predominantly described as a reggaeton and Latin trap artist, but has experimented with a variety of other genres, including reggae and country. She is also known for her prominent female presence in the reggaeton scene. In 2018, she won the Latin Grammy for Best New Artist, and was nominated for several Billboard Latin Music Awards and Premios Lo Nuestro. Born and raised in Medellín, Giraldo launched her career as a teenager, appearing on the Colombian spinoff of The X Factor. She moved to New York in 2014 to learn more about the music industry and signed with Universal Music Latin. His collaboration with Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, "Ahora Me Llama", became his first hit, and was the first single from his debut album, Unstoppable, released in 2017. In late 2018, his song " Secreto" became a hit in Latin America, as she and Anuel AA publicly confirmed their relationship in the music video. In July 2019, she released "China" in collaboration with Anuel AA, J Balvin, Daddy Yankee and Ozuna, which became her first music video with over a billion views on YouTube. In May 2019, she released the album Ocean, which served as a stylistic departure from Unstoppable, incorporating a more relaxed atmosphere into her work. "Tusa", her song with Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj, became an international hit and was certified 21x by the RIAA in Latin platinum, remaining on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs for 25 weeks.

Samsung Galaxy S24 series — comprising the purported Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra — could feature a new material instead of aluminium, a tipster has claimed on X (formerly known as Twitter). Apple recently unveiled the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, its flagship smartphones for 2023, that adopted titanium edges instead of the stainless steel frame found on their predecessors. While Samsung is yet to reveal plans to launch the Galaxy S24 series, the inclusion of titanium could drive up the price of the upcoming handsets. According to tipster Revegnus (X: @Tech_Reve), Samsung is looking to manufacture titanium frames for the standard Galaxy S24 model on its domestic production line in Vietnam. For the Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra models, the South Korean tech conglomerate is said to rely on two unnamed partner companies for titanium frames. While Revegnus has had a fairly good track record of leaking smartphone specifications, tipster Ice Universe (X: @UniverseIce) responded to the tipster and claimed that only the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra would be equipped with a titanium frame. Last month, Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, its flagship smartphones for 2023 with a new 3nm A17 Pro chip, an Action button that replaces the mute switch, and a titanium frame. In order to keep both prices and thermal levels in check, the company has used a combination of titanium on the external frame and aluminium for the internal structure. Recently, another tipster leaked computer-aided design (CAD) renders of the purported Galaxy S24 Ultra. The leaked images suggest that the handset will bear a similar resemblance to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It is shown to feature a quad rear camera setup and support for Samsung's S Pen. According to previous reports, Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra is said to feature a 6.8-inch AMOLED display. The phone is said to run on Qualcomm's yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in most markets, while the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are tipped to debut with the company's Exynos 2400 SoC in some regions, and support charging at up to up to 45W.

We appear to have got our clearest indication yet that a whole new version of Windows will be coming next year. Windows Latest reports that at a recent technology conference, Intel’s chief financial officer, David Zinsner, confirmed that the next iteration of Windows is indeed due to land in 2024. Zinsner commented: “We actually think 2024 is going to be a pretty good year for client, in particular, because of the Windows refresh.” Clearly, then, Intel has been informed that there’s going to be a new version of Windows next year. Although there’s no mention of the name Windows 12, or any other name for that matter – ‘Windows refresh’ is obviously not the title Microsoft will plump for when it comes to the successor to Windows 11. Analysis: Playing the name game Of course, there are already plenty of rumors around Microsoft bringing out a next-gen Windows in 2024. And there’s plenty of speculation that it will be called Windows 12, too, but the reality is that at this point, Microsoft may be deep into working on this next version, but probably doesn’t know what it’ll be called itself yet. Windows 12 just seems the most likely default option, naturally. About the only other possibility that occurs to us is that Microsoft may want to jam Copilot into the name, or maybe ‘AI’ or something along those lines, given that this is the latest big thing (TM). And Copilot will certainly be considerably developed in a year’s time. You may recall that Intel was previously the source of a leak about next-gen Windows, one that actually used the name Windows 12 when talking about support regarding upcoming processors. This info was quickly retracted when reported on, though, and we wouldn’t read anything into the use of the name, as we just mentioned. Next-gen Windows, whether it’s Windows 12, Windows AI – or insert your own guess here – is expected to arrive later in the second half of 2024 (work theoretically began on the new OS at the start of 2022). We’re expecting it to be built around big advances with Copilot which will doubtless be used to push it as a compelling upgrade. Microsoft will be looking for a sizeable carrot to dangle in front of would-be upgraders, especially considering that Windows 11 has failed pretty miserably to gain all that much traction in its two years of existence thus far.

Asus has quietly launched a new high-performance storage adaptor. Twitter/X storage sleuth momomo_us spotted that the Asus Hyper M.2 x16 Gen5 Card product pages have appeared. This is a significant update to the Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 card with up to double the potential bandwidth, thus supporting up to 512 Gbps if your platform is up to it. The product description says that the Asus Hyper M.2 x16 Gen5 Card allows the fitting of up to four NVMe M.2 SSDs. Users can mix and match storage devices. Official Asus specs indicate users will be combining PCIe 5.0/4.0 M.2 drives, and M.2 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110 devices can all be fitted in any of the four slots with Q-Latch mechanism for easy installation and removal. With the newest and fastest drives, there may be some concern over power and cooling. However, Asus has fitted an auxiliary 6-pin PCIe power connector to this card and asserts that the onboard two-phase power solution delivers up to 14W to each drive, which is more than sufficient. With the shroud of the card, you can see the four M.2 slots and a cooling fan. This works like a blower-style graphics card fan, taking in cool air from the fan end of the card and pushing it over the M.2 card slots to exhaust out of the highly perforated fixing bracket. Asus indicates that this is enough, combined with top and bottom M.2 thermal pads, to “reduce temperature-induced throttling during heavy, sustained data transfers.” The fan can benefit from extensive control parameters from the Asus Fan Xpert 4 software. You can also turn the fan on or off via the small button on the card’s rear I/O area. As for performance, the headlining 512 Gbps bandwidth comes from four fast PCIe 5.0 M.2 NVMe drives working in RAID 0 mode – in a striped aggregation. The chart above shows the impressive performance uplifts possible with this new PCIe storage card – up to 128 Gbps per slot. Look Before You Leap There are several things to consider before purchasing one of these Asus Hyper M.2 x16 Gen5 (or Gen4) Cards. Asus published a FAQ outlining the capabilities of currently supported AMD and Intel motherboards about M.2 drives hosted on add-in cards. It highlights in the FAQ that the “maximum M.2 SSDs support will vary depending on different CPUs.” Your motherboard must support PCIe bifurcation. The FAQ compatibility table also shows, for example, that systems using Intel Core family CPUs and the latest motherboards and graphics cards can only use two of the four M.2 storage slots at once (as a max 16 CPU PCIe 5.0 lanes are available) and benefit from the full potential of the hosted drives. In contrast, AMD Ryzen users with the latest platforms can use all four slots (max 28 CPU PCIe 5.0 lanes). Asus also recommends all users update to the latest motherboard BIOS. Asus has confirmed that the Asus Hyper M.2 x16 Gen5 Card will cost $79.99, and channel availability is scheduled for seven to 14 days.
