Karma Automotive continues to make progress on the slow road that has been set to be a relevant player in the luxury electric car market. After marketing for some years the old Fisker Karma updated in name and technology as Karma Revero, this year opened a new factory in southern California after an investment of over 100 million dollars, from where new models in its range will arrive. The first one appeared in the last Shanghai Hall, the Revero GT, to which the Revero GTS is now added, unveiled in the framework of the AutoMobility LA seminar, which is held in parallel to the Los Angeles Hall. The North American brand of Chinese capitals unveiled the sports variant of the Revero GT, which adds a series of updates in performance and technology, bringing the acceleration figure below 4.0 seconds (-0.6 seconds) and raising the maximum speed to 210 km / h (+9 km / h), thanks to an electronic recalibration of both electrical blocks. Also, the exterior adds a new package of carbon fiber and special decorations, while inside new elements such as a 570 watt Soloscape sound system and new gesture access systems are added. It is worth remembering that the new Revero is powered by two electric motors that deliver 535 HP and 550 foot-pounds of torque, powered by a 28 kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a range of about 100 km. Like the previous Karma Revero, it has a combustion engine that works as a power generator for extended range. It is a 1.5 Turbo of BMW origin, which generates an additional 450 km.

Windows users may not have to use iTunes for much longer. Mac users got rid of this multimedia software often criticized by macOS Catalina, but lives on computers that use the Microsoft operating system. However, Apple seems to be working to create a replacement for Windows as well. So, technically the same does not disappear at all, but it would lose the name iTunes. Apple published a job offer on LinkedIn for a senior software engineer, specifically who knows about Windows Media applications. They are looking for someone to "join us and build the next generation of applications for Windows." Of course, the company could simply hire someone to work on the next version of iTunes. But that software was not mentioned in the list. Goodbye to the Apple program on Windows? For more than a decade of FeatureCreep for iTunes, an application created for the first time to put music on iPods added video, podcasts, e-books, sync and iPhone and iPad backups, and more. It grew so much that The Verge called it "Apple's most hated application." macOS Catalina, launched last month, divided iTunes into multiple applications, each focusing on a different type of content. There are Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Books and Apple Podcasts. READ MORE AMD: TSMC begins to have difficulty producing chips under 7nm lithography There is a hint, just a hint, that something similar will happen with the Windows version of iTunes. Apple's list of jobs looking for someone to work on their Windows Media applications requires applicants to "love music." It is not mentioned that they are passionate about movies or books, which suggests that the person hired will work in Apple Music for Windows. This seems to fit better with the creation of “the next generation of media applications for Windows” than simply adjusting the iTunes program for Windows more.

Its RX 5700 XT graphics card from the AORUS range has been announced by Gigabyte. As always, AORUS products are characterized by offering improved performance and a quality cooling system. This model makes use of the prestigious WindForce3X heatsink, highly valued by users. It has the heatsink with six pipes in direct contact with the GPU that transfer heat to the aluminum fins. Gigabyte in recent years is offering products of higher quality and performance, thinking of users. The company seeks to offer top solutions and there is no higher product range than AORUS. A sub-brand designed for the most sybarite in the world of hardware and gaming. Introduced the Gigabyte AORUS RX 5700 XT 8GB The WindFoce3X heatsink is characterized by having three fans and being one of the most efficient on the market. As we said, it has six heatpipes that start from the GPU and pass through the aluminum fins. In addition, a heat dissipation system for VRMs and high efficiency MOSFETs has been installed. They always seek to reduce the temperature to the maximum to maximize performance. Something quite curious about this graphics card is that in addition to the OC mode, it has a silent mode by BIOS. This silent mode reduces working frequencies, which therefore reduce temperatures. This ensures that the fans run at lower speeds and the low noise level. Within this mode Gigabyte guarantees us a high fluidity. As there are always those who seek to highlight, with this AORUS RX 5700 XT 8G you can do it to spare. Three DisplayPort and three HDMI have been arranged for a total of six screens. These allow us to have an ultra-panoramic desktop or the individual use of the screens. Naturally, it supports FreeSync and Eyefinity, two AMD technologies. It has this RGB graphic but in a minimalist way. The fan bezel has two subtle stripes with RGB and the logo on the top, it also has RGB. All controllable through the company's RGB Fusion software. Additionally, it has a backplate to prevent the PCB from bending due to its weight. Finally note that this graphics card works at 1 770MHz (1 605MHz the reference model). In gaming mode this graphic reaches 1 905MHz (1 755MHz the reference model). Finally in Boost mode it reaches 2 010MHz (1 905Mhz the reference model)

In August of this year, we tell you about the fourth model in the McLaren Ultimate range, a curious and radical two-seater. Today that two-seater materializes in the new McLaren Elva, a tribute to the first track sports cars manufactured by McLaren to compete in Group 7. A trip to the past Will Elva ask you? Elva, a nice contraction of "Elle va" (there goes, in French), is the name of a workshop founded in 1955 by Frank Nichols. This factory had as its north to make low-cost sports cars, accessible and ready to compete, but along the way, they became associated with major brands. When Bruce McLaren wanted to compete in Group 7 races, the team relied on an Elva chassis equipped with an Oldsmobile engine, which would mark the birth of the McLaren-Elva M1, a model that evolved until it was succeeded by the M3 in 1966 when Group 7 gave way to the Can Am competitions. That two-seater, light and powerful, was the first of a long tradition of competition models, regardless of what McLaren's cars are today and of course, there is a direct link to the values that the Woking firm incorporates in Your models When the M1A, made of resin and weighing just over 550 kilos, ran in the Canadian Grand Prix of sports cars (where the Can Am Challenge came from) during 1964, it was not the winner, it came third, but it was the fastest car on the track, breaking the lap record several times. The impact was such that Elva ended up taking McLaren's outsourced production to create M1A replicas, since, at that time, McLaren had only seven employees and there were many interested in running with the new car. The M1A, as we noted, gave rise to other models, which if they won the Can Am competitions five consecutive times, between 1967 and 1971. Back to the Future The Elva, front and back looks quite like the current models of the brand, taking winks from 675 LT. Of course, it is definitely a very distant car from the brand's Sport or Super Series. Powered by a four-liter V8 with double turbocharger (815 Hp and 590 Lb-ft), very similar to the one worn by the McLaren Senna, the Elva postulates a two-seater body, carbon fiber, roofless, without windshield (well, there is an option, but it is rather precarious) and without side windows, all to offer the most lively experience and closer to what happened in those times. On the back, the two headlands and two air intakes stand out on the rear dashboards, which contrast dramatically with a contrast crease that seems to give the illusion that the waist of the car was very low. These folds coordinate with the enveloping forms of the front, which is combined in a highly impressive design. Very important in the Elva and that is a nod to the original, it is an air intake located immediately at the top of the tube. This, in this case, is part of the innovative Active Air Management System, which, thanks to an active deflector, channels air from the nose of the car to the grill. This is only to generate an air bubble in the aerodynamic flow, which allows driving at high speeds without the turbulence of the air in our face. Other prospects of this car are its multiple internal channels to cool the engine or to improve air flow, which is the reason why the Elva has no more ailerons than a discreet active spoiler, full width, which allows to add aerodynamic load , as well as helping to brake the car. Even the ground is completely flat, appealing to its sporting roots. The interior is an experience, since technically it is a joint interaction with the outside. The exposure is total thanks to how the contours of the doors flow inwards. Even so, McLaren wants you to feel welcome and for the same reason, they have been very concerned about the chosen materials and ergonomics. The seats are customizable in their color configuration and you can provide them with a 6-point harness, this for believers that cars should not be collectibles, but rather engineering pieces to enjoy on the track. All the dynamic functions of the car are integrated in the digital instrument cluster. In fact, the selectable knobs are at hand so you just have to slide your fingers over the change selector paddles. To the side, there is another 8 "screen mounted on a carbon fiber arm, for everything that is telemetry, climate control and backup camera. The audio system is not standard, but is offered as an option. The back cover hides spaces for two helmets, but leaves visible two holes that expose the air filters. Personalization is key in this segment of cars, especially when you will only do 399 units. Therefore, synthetic suede, leather, translucent and dyed carbon fiber, or with metal inserts, as well as gold or platinum badges worked from the inclusion of carbon fiber scales, are part of the list. The development of the Elva seems to have no limits. From the doors and the exposed carbon fiber floor, the one-piece hinges, the exhaust system made of titanium and Inconel. racing brakes, based on carbon-ceramic discs, up to the steering system with electro-hydraulic assistance, active suspension and driving modes guaranteed by stability control and variable drift control (yes, that's what it's called) , justify its high price of USD $ 1,690,000.

Launched the new AMD drivers, specifically the Radeon Adrenalin version 19.11.3. The main feature of these new drivers is that they are optimized for DirectX 12 in Fortnite. The game adds support to DX12 and to offer the best performance in AMD graphics are updated. The only novelty of these new drivers is this, because theoretically in December the mother of all driver packages will arrive. For those who do not know, usually in December at AMD they launch a large driver package that adds many improvements. The main expected in this new package is the implementation of Ray Tracing by software. So it is logical that this controller and the Adrenalin 19.11.2 add very few novelties. Known issues Radeon RX 5700 series graphic products may experience intermittent loss of the screen or video signal during the game. Radeon RX 5700 series graphic products may experience stuttering in some 1080p games and low game configurations. Overlapping performance metrics can cause stuttering or flickering of the screen in some applications. Alternating HDR can cause system instability during games when Radeon ReLive is enabled. AMD Radeon VII may experience elevated memory clocks in idle or on the desktop. Overlapping performance metrics may report improper use of VRAM. Summon Radeon Overlay can cause games to lose focus or be minimized when HDR is enabled in Windows

Interesting graphics card that Gigabyte just announced for the most enthusiastic users. The company presents the RTX 2080 Super Gaming OC Waterfoce WB, for a customized liquid cooling system. As the name implies, this graphics card has factory overclocking for the most demanding. In addition, the kit includes G1 / 4 tubes for installation in our system. A graphics card is from Gigabyte, designed for the most demanding users who want the best performance. Liquid cooling allows the GPU to have no temperature problems and leads to better frequencies. They have not spent much with the frequencies, since it barely has overclocking in the GPU. Gigabyte presents a graphic card with block for RL Custom The block has been developed so that in addition to the GPU, it correctly cools VRAMs and MOSFETs. This guarantees us that we will not have the slightest problem when it comes to dissipating all the heat generated. A backplate has been included to prevent buckling of the graphics card in the future. On the design, this graphics card has two areas with RGB. The first is at the height of the G1 / 4 connectors and the second is at the center of the graph. We see a triangular opening that reminds us a lot of the Iron Man ARK. The methacrylate window lets us see the liquid and on its outer edge it has RGB lighting. The graphics card has dimensions of 267x137x37mm, so it is suitable for most boxes. It works at a base frequency of 1 650MHz and in Boost mode it will reach 1 845MZ (1 815MHz the reference model). It has 8GB GDDR6 @ 15.5GHz (without overclocking the memories). For video outputs this has three DisplayPort and an HDMI 2.0b.

A few months ago there was a preview of a demo with Ray Tracing quite interesting developed by CryTek. Neon Noir is the demo that was shown a few months ago and was running under an RX Vega 56. The company has now launched a free benchmark with Ray Tracing and the CryEngine graphics engine. CryTek, for those who do not know, is the developer of Crysis, FarCry, Warface, Hunt: Showdown or Ryze: Son of Rome, among others. Its graphic engine, the CryEngine is highly valued in the industry for its high technical quality. This is reflected very well in the first installment of Crysis, which little or nothing has to graphically envy to modern games. Neon Noir, the CryTek benchmark for Ray Tracing is now available The most interesting thing about this demo is that CryTek has given it a very different approach. Dedicated hardware and a specified API are required to run games with light ray paths. In this case, they have integrated it into their graphic engine under SVOGI technology, an agnostic solution to the hardware. An easy performance solution, something that is impressive. This Neon Noir Benchmark has a weight of 4.35GB and can be run in Ultra or Very High graphics. It allows you to adjust the graphic quality a bit to see if there is a lot of performance difference. In addition, CryTek indicates that it can be run with RX Vega 56 or GTX 1070 graphics, at a minimum.

A few days ago AMD introduced the new Threadripper 3960X and Threadripper 3970X. These new processors require a new socket due to a restructuring of the pins. Hwbattle has published the pin differences between the sTRX4 and TR4 socket. Apparently there should be no compatibility problem with processors based on the TR4 socket. What's more, the two sockets are physically the same. Already the first rumors about the Threadripper indicated that AMD would not offer backward compatibility. First there was talk of a blockade by chipset, but in the end it has to do with the socket. Physically, the dimensions and the number of pins of the two sockets are equal. Even motherboard manufacturers have specified that their new motherboards are not compatible with previous Threadripper. published the AMD sTRX4 and TR4 socket pin differences The sTRX4 and TR4 pin design has been published, showing the differences. The new sTRX4 socket enables a large number of non-active pins on the TR4. Both sockets have the same number of pins, 4,094, but the sTRX4 has more enabled. Pines socket sTRX4 Pines socket sTRX4 Apparently AMD would have implemented a pin recognition system to match the compatible CPUs with its socket. This would ensure that it only works with the third generation Threadripper. If a second-generation Threadripper processor or earlier than the sTRX4 socket was installed, the system would not turn on. A technique used by Intel with the LGA 1151 socket, which with each new generation, forces to change the processor. In this case, AMD would have done so to accommodate 64-core processors, which will require more power. Highlight that AMD has committed to this new socket has a great longevity.

When 2007 GranTurismo was launched, it was a great hit for Maserati and in fact, it was one of the pillars that sustained the return in glory and majesty of the Italian brand. Just in the transition period between Fiat and Chrysler were coming together, this successor of the Maserati Coupé led the brand to the gestation of other models, such as the sixth generation of Quattroporte, the Ghibli and of course, the Levant. But Maserati is preparing for an important change in its history, one that goes hand in hand with electromobility and of course, GranTurismo is its longest-running model; It is time for a farewell, to leave room for what is coming. To commemorate this milestone, Maserati created the GranTurismo Zéda special edition, which has a peculiar combination of colors. The front of this GranTurismo exhibits a beautiful and lustrous Maserati blue color, but as we go back, the color is mutating to a kind of steely gray, to give rise to a satin white color. This, according to Maserati is to represent the fact of a transition, that the Zéda is a bridge that connects the past, the present and the near future of the brand. Zéda means Zeta in Modena jargon, the last letter of the alphabet, but with the symbolism that every final also brings with it a new rebirth. And what is the future? We know that everything has to do with electrification for the trident brand and there is a roadmap already defined for the next few years. In 2020 we should see facelifts for both Ghibli and Levante and Quattroporte, at the time that the new and revolutionary electric sports of the brand will debut, with no name yet. By 2021, the development will focus on a SUV more compact than the Levante, the convertible version of the electric sports car and the new generation of the car that says goodbye today, the GranTurismo. During 2022, there will be only two models to be launched, the new GranCabrio and the seventh generation of Quattroporte. 2023 has only one model in its sights, the second generation of the Levant.

Available the new update of Windows 10 for this month of November. The Windows 10 November 2019 Update v1909 update is the second major update of the year. No significant additions have been made within the company's operating system. The biggest news is an update of the operating system user interface, with some minor adjustments. Changes have been made to the user interface to improve the possibility of adding items to the calendar directly from the calendar. They have optimized the classification of notifications. Accessibility to the Start menu and the ability to use third-party accessible software even on the lock screen have been optimized. Something quite curious is that Windows 10 has the ability to choose the highest-performance "favorite" cores of a processor. It would be something like what Intel does with the frequencies, that only the best of the cores reaches the indicated frequency. Most prominent changes of this new version · It will be published in WSUS so customers can manage and implement Insider Preveiw compilations · Pre-launch support for 19H2 offered to customers of the Windows Insiders for Business Program (WIP4Biz). The blocking problem that prevented the evaluation of functions or use of devices is corrected · Windows containers need a matching host and container version. Something that restricts customers and limits containers in the operating system that supports mixed pod container pod scenarios. The update includes 5 solutions to solve this and allow the host to run containers. It allows to execute containers of lower level in the superior level for the isolation of processes · Solution that allows original equipment manufacturers reduce inking latency based on hardware capabilities in devices. · Key rotation function that allows the secure transfer of recovery passwords to MDM managed AAD devices. · Change to allow third-party digital assistants activated by voice on the lock screen · Quickly create an event directly from the “Calendar” drop-down menu on the taskbar. · Navigation panel in the Start menu expands when you pass the pointer over it to better inform where the pointer goes · Added friendly images to show what is understood as ‘banner’ and ‘action center’ when adjusting notifications · Notification settings in Settings> System> Notifications now, by default. Notifications are classified according to the most recent notification shown. · The options for configuring and deactivating notifications of an application / website are displayed directly in the notification. · Added the "Manage notifications" button at the top of the "Activity Center" that starts the main page · Added additional debugging capabilities for newer Intel processors · Made general improvements in the battery life and energy efficiency of the PC · Offer better performance and reliability by implementing a rotation policy that distributes work more fairly among these preferred cores · Enabled Windows Defender Credential Guard for ARM64 devices with additional credential theft protection · Update the file browser search box to work with Windows Search · Added Narrator capability and other assistive technologies to read and learn where the FN key is located on keyboards.

Gigabyte announced a new BIOS for AMD Ryzen processors. The company announces the availability of the F50 BIOS based on the AGESA 1.0.0.4B microcode. This new BIOS offers us a performance optimization to improve the user experience. Although the new microcode was announced a few weeks ago, adaptation always requires some time, since adjustments must always be made. Theoretically, the new AGESA 1.0.0.4B microcode should correct the frequency of Ryzen processors. While AMD released a patch, which corrected it, there were still some adjustments to be made. In addition, this new BIOS offers improvements in system startup. These are some of the improvements offered by this new microcode. Gigabyte launches new BIOS based on AGESA 1.0.0.4B This new microcode allows to improve the starting speed by 35%. In addition, the Raven Ridge APU support for the X570 chipset is reinforced. Compatibility has also been improved in terms of RAID SATA and NVMe functions on X570 platforms. Gigabyte's Q-Flash Plus technology is available on X570 motherboards, which allows you to easily update the F10 BIOS without the need for a processor, memory, graphics and even without booting the PC. The company notes that it has waited for a fully stable BIOS to be available. This allows users to guarantee a BIOS tested and validated by engineers. It seeks to offer the performance improvement and maximum compatibility with Gigabyte motherboards.

Ford has teamed up with Webasto to develop a 100% electric prototype of the brand's iconic pony car. The Ford Mustang Lithium delivers 900 hp and 1,000 lb-ft of torque managed by a six-speed manual transmission, which is a possible path for the future of the most radical versions of muscle cars. According to Ford, the Mustang Lithium is not a single marketing exercise, but it is a test laboratory for battery and thermal management technologies. In addition to the replacement of the combustion engine with a dual electric one, the Mustang Lithium has a one-inch lowered suspension, 22 ”forged wheels, Torsen differential, six-piston Brembo brakes forward from the Shelby GT350 R and a polycarbonate window chest To see inside. The electrical system is 800 volts, the same as the Porsche Taycan, which is almost double compared to almost all electrical market. This allows the use of lighter components, more power and less heat generation. In the words of Hau Thai-Tang, Head of Product Development and Purchasing “It is no secret that Ford intends to electrify its most po[CENSORED]r models and this prototype developed in conjunction with Webasto allows us to show our customers what electric motor trains they can contribute to a car they know and love as the Mustang. ” Another interesting aspect is that the Mustang Lithium has several driving modes (Valet, Sport, Track and Beast) that allow you to control the torque according to different needs. These functions are controlled via a new 10.4 ”vertical screen. It is worth remembering that Ford's electrification plan is very serious, since the firm will invest 15 billion dollars until 2022 and in a few days, prior to the Los Angeles Auto show it will be presenting a new electric SUV with inspired design in the Mustang that will have a range of 480 km, as well as a fully electric F-150 pick up in a couple of years. The above, not to mention the hybrid offer the new Escape and Explorer.

Two AMD Threadripper processors have been announced, specifically the Threadripper 3960X and the Threadripper 3970X. These two processors are based on the Zen2 @ 7nm architecture manufactured by TSMC. The new AMD processors arrive with the TRX40 chipset, which adds support for PCIe 4.0. ASUS taking advantage of the official announcement of these processors to announce their compatible motherboards. ASUS has presented the ROG Zenith II Extreme motherboards that have an E-ATX format and the ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming and First TRX40-Pro ATX format. All three models have four PCIe 4.0 x16 slots with support for 4-Way SLI and 4-Way CrossFire configurations. These three motherboards support x16 / x8 / x16 / x8 graphic configurations. Three ASUS motherboards presented for the new AMD Threadripper The Zenith II Extreme model has 802.11ax WiFi support and Bluetooth 5.0. The motherboard is complemented with 10Gbps Ethernet connection using the Aquantia chipset. On the other hand, the TRX40-E has a 2.5Gbps chipset with the same WiFi and Bluetooth support. Finally, the TRX40-Pro offers Gigabit Ethernet and the possibility of adding a WiFi + Bluetooth module using an M.2 2230. The three motherboards despite being destined for the Workstation market have RGB LED lighting. They are powered by two 8-pin PCI connectors, in addition to the 24-pin ATX connector. The three models have eight DIMM DRR4 sockets for a maximum of 256GB and support for ECC memories. These three ASUS models have advanced audio codecs, with dedicated circuits and shielded sound system. It has a lot of connectors for water pump, fans and RGB lighting. They have USB 3.1, USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Type-C ports. Something quite interesting about Zenith II is that it has a small OLED screen that can be configured. The screen may display special information or error codes of the motherboard boot test. It includes a reinforcement back plate and an aluminum heatsink for VRM phases. The chipset on all models has a fan to cool it.

Microsoft's philosophy is changing thanks to Satya Nadella, current CEO of the company. He is betting more on open source, allowing to reach more people. You can currently download Windows 10 and run it without a license, only with a watermark. The next step will be to change Edge, the browser that replaces Internet Explorer, and base it on Chromium. During the Ignite 2019 conference, Microsoft highlighted that Edge will arrive on Linux next year. We clearly see how Nadella is changing Microsoft's philosophy regarding free software. Remember that June 2018, Microsoft acquired GitHub, the world's largest open source repository for 7.5 billion dollars. Microsoft Edge will arrive in Linux in 2020 We see how the company in this change of philosophy is committed to offering services to other platforms. In the past Windows was restrictive and its tools were only available for Microsoft operating systems. Office can now be used on iOS, Android and macOS without major problems. Now they want to take Edge to Linux and also to Android, iOS and macOS, arrived for Apple's operating system on January 15, 2020. Chromium is an open source solution developed by Google and can be freely molded. Microsoft wants to approach Google Chrome, also thinking about extensions and greater customization. We assume that they will not be as liberal as Google, which has a number of extensions that are not used significantly. Edge Chromium for Windows and macOS has been under development for some time and there are Beta versions for Dev and Canary. It is not known how the development phase of Edge Chromium for Linux is, but logically it will be much greener. Possibly for the second half of 2020 we have at least one beta version for Linux.

The presence of advertisements on the different web pages is an essential element for their subsistence. If there was no advertising, most projects could not subsist and yes, subsist, because Google pays miseries. But there are invasive and heavy advertisements that Google wants to start removing. Something similar to what he did with the automatic playback of videos on pages that he already silences. Chrome is a great browser with all the built-in Google features that many can do well. Google wants to minimize the weight of the browser and wants to block heavy ads. They want to lighten Chrome's weight a bit to make it somewhat more agile, something they could do by optimizing RAM consumption better. Google wants to block the heaviest ads in Chrome They are working on a method that prevents heavier ads on the websites from being displayed in the browser. They want to avoid advertising that consumes more resources. These types of advertisements are usually interactive ads, those that have animations or that are directly videos. Basically everything that is not a simple image will end up being blocked. An announcement that has not passed without pain or glory precisely. The company has built an empire with invasive ads and now they want to limit its use. Another of the precepts that generates more curiosity is how Chrome will distinguish between a heavy and a light advertisement. To resolve the doubt Google has explained that any announcement that uses a processor thread for more than 60 seconds will be blocked. Ads that consume a core for more than 15 seconds within 30 seconds will also be blocked. Finally all those ads that consume more than 4MB of bandwidth in your upload will be blocked.

We saw earlier this week how Intel presented its financial results, the best in its history. This at a time of inability to meet demand and AMD hitting hard with AMD Ryzen processors. All this seasoned with that there is no way to see 10nm processors in the market. While all this is happening, the data of the Comet Lake-S has just been filtered. Comet Lake-S is Intel's new family of processors, the 10th Generation and yes, it will be based on 14nm. The same Skylake architecture that takes four generations (five with this) will be used in the market. Intel for the problems with the 10nm left behind its Tik-Tok system that they say will recover with the 10nm. Tik-Tok for those who do not know it was a usual way of operating by Intel. It was launching processors with a lithography, for example, 14nm. This first point is the ‘Tik’, the arrival of the new lithograph. The following year he launched the 14nm +, which closed the cycle or ‘Tok’. After ‘Tok’ the 10nm lithograph should have arrived, but the thing has not been possible and here we are, almost in 2020 with the 14nm. Although AMD Ryzen processors squeeze hard, 14nm processors withstand the type in gaming. In other tasks that depend more on the number of cores, Intel processors sink. All this without talking about the schizophrenic price of Intel processors. Filtered Intel Comet Lake-S @ 14nm processors If we look at the Comet Lake-S processors, we see that Intel recovers HyperThreading in all its families. The top of the range will be the Core i9-10900K with 10 cores and 20 threads, which will have a 65W Core i9-10900 version of TDP and the Core i9-10900T of 35W TDP. We have below the Core i7-10700K of 8 cores and 16 threads (like the current Core i9-9900K). This processor will also have a version with a TDP of 65W and one with a TDP of 35W. Below this we will have the Core i5-10500K with 6 cores and 12 processing threads. We will see from this processor an adaptation with a TDP of 65W and another with a TDP of 35W. New processors with new chipset and socket ntel introduces the LGA1200 socket, predictably the socket used by 10nm processors. So there is no possibility of retro compatibility between processors. The apparent changes in the chipset will be minimal, but more than enough to eliminate compatibility. In addition, the Intel 4000 Series chipset is added. Comet Lake-S processors will have 16 PCIe lines direct to the processor and another 24 PCIe through the chipset. Yes, they are PCIe 3.0 lines, nothing from PCIe 4.0. Perhaps the most interesting thing is that these processors will integrate 802.11ax WiFi. On performance, Intel says they improve by 18% compared to Coffee Lake Refresh. Normal, because the top of the range adds two cores and HyperThreading lost in its predecessors is recovered. What have not been revealed are the frequencies, but with this data, we will see cut frequencies, nothing from 10 cores at 5.0GHz, for sure. No prices have been disclosed, but if they want to sell these processors, they should cut prices accordingly. Perhaps the Core i3 are the most interesting, because 4 cores and 8 threads for gaming are ideal. We will go from € 500 for 4 cores and 8 threads to about € 200 or less, which is not bad. Nor do we know if Intel will do the trick is to take out ‘KF’ processors with graphics disabled because they are defective and will sell them just like those that incorporate iGPU.

In conjunction with the new 488 Challenge Evo, Ferrari presents the evolution of the 488 GT3 competition, which by 2020 also adds the name Evo to its name. The model that competes in all the FIA GT categories of the world was exhibited in Mugello and includes its Evolution package, which applies to aerodynamics, interior ergonomics, safety, reliability and conductive dynamics, all in accordance with FIA regulations. The brand's engineers worked on stability with a new front design, the result of 18,000 hours of calculations and simulations, followed by hard work in the wind tunnel. This led to the redesign of the fascia, which now has a smaller section under the lights. This, together with the introduction of new elements that generate more aerodynamic load in the front, increase stability and aerodynamic balance. The aerodynamic work was extended to other parts of the car to improve air flows, now offering new larger vans and redesigned channels, while the rear wing has a new design that aims to achieve the same effect. The new Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo includes a greater wheelbase to optimize the use of the tires, the weight has been reduced a little more and the center of gravity was lowered. Likewise, both stability control and ABS were optimized. The engine, however, has not undergone modifications. It is still the V8 twinturbo with a bench open at 90 °, although now it has improved electronics to improve reliability and generate more precise torque delivery. Inside the seats are replaced by some of the Sabelt brand that meet the new safety standards of the FIA, which in addition to more rigid and robust, are 2.4 kilos lighter and include new belts. Ferrari will also offer a package called 24H / Endurance, for customers who want to participate in long-term races. It includes a front with extra light system, a fuel and oil tombstone system, carbon fiber clutch, brake calipers derived from the GTE and wheels with central nut.

Three years after the presentation of the 488 Challenge, the new model for its traditional global single-brand championship, Ferrari is now launching an evolution of the competition car called 488 Challenge Evo, which incorporates a kit that raises the car's performance in race conditions . The package, according to Ferrari, maximizes the synergy that must be between aerodynamics and conductive dynamics, with an improvement in Pirelli tires (275 / 67.5 R19 forward and 315 / 70.5 R19 rear), a better balance between aerodynamic loading and electronic controls, and an address with a greater conductive touch. The performance is guaranteed by an increased aerodynamic load (especially in the trunk to limit oversteer), by the new tires that offer an extra grip in all conditions, and by an improvement in the E-Diff 3 and F1- traction systems. TCS Both systems are supported in the Side Slip Control (SSC), which acts by estimating the angle of skidding, and now has new levels of performance that are more permissive. The model was also redesigned, with a front that now increases aerodynamic efficiency by 30% compared to the 488 Challenge. There are new, more effective air intakes to cool the engine and brakes, and in the rear the splitter was expanded and the lateral channeling of the air flows was improved. Ferrai indicates that in total, the aerodynamic load has been improved by 50% compared to the previous Challege. The mark indicates that the driver can modify the aerodynamic load independently back and forth, getting the balance that best suits the competition, depending on the type of circuit, weather and driving style. With this new package, the 488 Challenge has 20% more adjustment options only on the front axle, compared to the original car. The cabin is also new and takes many elements seen in other track models, such as the FXX-K Evo and the 488 GTE, including the steering wheel with the integrated paddle shift, a new ABS control, a rear camera to improve visibility in competition, among others. The 488 Challenge Evo maintains the 3.9-liter V8 biturbo engine, which delivers 661 HP, associated with the F1 DCT box. Deliveries of this new model, the successor of a long line of race cars of the brand, will begin before the end of the year.

In recent months we have talked a lot about the Intel Core-i9 9900KS processor. The company had already started talking about this processor, which had not been officially introduced. This 8-core and 16-wire processor that will reach 5.0GHz in all its cores will be released on October 30. You will not have integrated graphics to lower temperatures a bit. A few hours ago Intel has also presented the accounts for the third quarter of this year. The interesting thing is that the company has achieved the highest revenue in its history and has exceeded forecasts in 1.2 billion dollars. Almost 50% of its sales are from the Data Centers segment, while the desktop processor market shrinks 5%. Intel officially announces the Core i9-9900KS processor This new Intel processor, as we said, has 8 cores and 16 processing threads. It works at a base frequency of 4.0GHz and in Boost mode it will reach 5.0GHz in all cores. It has 16MB of Smart Cache, it has up to 40 PCIe 3.0 x16 lines and a TDP of 127W. This processor is based on the Skylake architecture and 14nm ++ lithography. The company sells this processor as 35% more powerful in games than its predecessors. Specifically, "compared to a PC from 3 years ago." It will surely also be more powerful than an Intel Q6600, but the current competition is not the 6700K with 4 cores and 8 threads, but the Ryzen 3000. intel core i9 9900ks image - Core i9-9900KS: Intel announces that this processor will arrive on October 30 and will be around 550 euros Main features of this processor 4.0GHz base frequency and in Boost mode reaches 5.0GHz in all cores 8 cores and 16 processing threads, 16MB of Smart Cache, 40 PCIe 3.0 lines and a 127W TDP Compatible with Z390 motherboards Up to 27% more powerful in gaming, streaming and simultaneous recording than a 3-year-old PC Offers up to 35% more SPF than a 3-year-old computer Up to 17% faster in 4K video editing compared to the previous generation and 78% compared to a 3-year-old PC One year warranty (two by law in Spain) Supports reliable overclocking through new and improved Intel Performance Maximizer features (not recommended or with a 360mm RL) This Intel Core i9-99900KS Special Edition processor is priced at $ 513, which will be around 550 euros in Spain.

We saw at the beginning of the month during the presentation of Microsoft products the future Surface Neo. This dual-screen laptop had the characteristic of having two screens and Windows 10X. A new completely unknown Microsoft system of which we know more data thanks to the filtering of an internal document. A document that gives us information about changes and improvements in the user experience within the new operating system. We have seen how Satia Nadella, current CEO of Microsoft, has made important changes in the company. It has moved from a highly closed operating system to a slightly open operating system. Nadella is strongly committed to open source, hence the purchase of GitHub. In addition, Microsoft Edge, the replacement of Internet Explorer will be based on Chromium. Microsoft internal document gives new data on Windows 10X The operating system initially seemed reserved for dual-screen laptops. It seems that this will eventually not be the case, being also compatible with conventional laptops and folding and / or convertible systems. Also change the start menu of Windows 10X, which in a display of creativity has been called "Launcher". It is quite close to the language of Android itself. Launcher will allow us to search for local files and in the One Drive cloud. It will also show us a grid in which we will find the installed applications and web pages. Within the start menu we will be shown local applications and web applications. No distinctions will be made between these, which will greatly speed up the user experience. The ‘Activity Center’ has been modified and there is a new ‘Quick Actions’ design, with many inbox elements. The notifications go to a new area of quick actions, although they can also be accessed from the taskbar. Applications that will be installed A list of the applications that will be installed natively has also been published. It is not clear that they are all, since there are no applications like Skype or ‘Your Phone’. Featured applications installed applications such as Word and PowerPoint in a Progressive Web Apps version. These are based on the Universal Windows Platform, so they will be native to Windows 10X. Users can download the Win32 version locally and install it without problems. · Alarm clock · Microsoft Edge · People · Photos · Calculator · Microsoft Store · Microsoft Teams · PowerPoint · Calendar · Microsoft To Do · Crop & Drawing · Camera · Excel Microsoft · Whiteboard · Solitaire · Feedback Center · Movies & TV · Spotify · Groove Music · Netflix Quick · Notes · Mail · Notepad · UWP File Explorer · OneNote · Audio Capture · Media Plans · Paint · Messaging · Time · Word Within the documentation we can also find a new and updated file explorer. This would be working for some time on Windows Core OS devices. Unfortunately, no images have been leaked from the new file explorer, despite its confirmation. In addition, we see a login user interface with a slight update.

Porsche, the luxury car brand, introduced the eighth generation of the 911 model to the Peruvian market. The model name is 992 and currently has two versions: the S and the 4S. In the middle of the year, the company will also bring the Carrera y Carrera S versions. The value of this new model starts at US $ 154,000 and the company aims to sell 15 cars in the remainder of 2019, said Gonzalo Flechelle, general manager of Porsche in Peru. He added that a car has already been sold in the presale period that began at the beginning of the year. Competitors Flechelle also commented that in the segment of luxury sports cars in Peru, the Porsche 911 has more than 50% market share. According to the DiarioMotor web portal, its main competitors are the BMW i8, Jaguar F-Type, Mercedes-AMG GT, the Audi R8 and the Aston Martin Vantage. According to Flechelle, the price of rival models varies between US $ 150,000 and US $ 250,000. customers Customers of this luxurious model are usually between 50 and 55 years old. Globally, 98% of customers of 911 vehicles are men, while only 2% are women. However, in the Peruvian case, the share of women amounts to 10%. In the country there are only a little more than 200 units of the Porsche 911. This model was manufactured more than 56 years ago.

Since last May we have not stopped having problems with the cumulative Windows 10. May 2019 Update seems to have been the focus of a thousand problems, including Bluetooth, security or resource consumption. When the thing seemed to calm down, the nth problem has been found again. This time it would have to do with the latest driver released by Intel. The biggest chaos was when Microsoft launched the update and caused Cortana to consume 40% of the processor without using it. Correcting the problem caused the internal Windows search engine to malfunction. To solve this problem caused a problem in Windows Defender, which could not perform automatic or manual detections. Windows 10 has a new problem due to the latest Intel driver Apparently the Windows Update function when updating an Intel driver generates a graphic problem. After this update there are chromatic problems on the screen. The HP computers and more specifically the ProBook 450 G6 would be affected. The Intel Display Driver v26.20.100.7157 was integrated into the KB4517389 part of Windows 10. After the update there has been the problem of a very poor quality user experience. Users highlight issues in Edge and Chrome, among other sites. The graphic program really seems annoying, but the positive part is that it does not affect performance. It is recommended to go back to the previous version of the driver so that the problem is corrected. As we can see in the image, pieces appear in the windows as in gray. A rare effect seems to have broken the screen. You can also see that if we have the Chrome background in black, the icons are not loaded.
