Blizzard is starting the rollout of World of Warcraft‘s big 9.0.5 patch after some tinkering and fine-tuning. The update reintroduces the Valor system to make Mythic+ dungeon gear much more desirable alongside a heap of balance changes. WoW’s 9.0.5 update will be available to download after the weekly reset, which is today on North American servers, March 10 in Europe, and March 11 in Asia. One of the more eye-catching additions remains Valor points. If you’ve been out of the loop, the way they work is simple enough. If you complete a dungeon, you’ll get some points to upgrade your Mythic Keystone gear. The Great Vault remains the best spot for loot, but the idea behind the change is to give you more reasons to do Mythic Keystone dungeons and Covenant dailies. Blizzard has, however, made further adjustments to the WoW 9.0.5 patch notes since sharing them last week. You can still earn 5,000 Valor for the first week and 750 each week after. Now, though, you won’t be capped at 1,500 Valor per character. You’ll also find that if you finish a Mythic Keystone dungeon before the reset, then the Great Vault for the next week will constrain a Keystone of that same level. World of Warcraft community manager Randy ‘Kaivax’ Jordan explains that the team made the tweak in response to feedback to the previous patch notes. Jordan also says that cross-realm Mythic Castle Nathria runs will be available for everyone on the next raid lockout for each region. The Council of Blood is also receiving some tweaks. Veteran Stoneguard has had its health reduced by 10% on Mythic difficulty, and melee damage reduced by 10% on all difficulties. The Sintouched Blade attack will now cast less frequently on all difficulty tiers, too. Theater of Pain is also getting changed up. Necrolord’s Chosen covenant perk now has a duration of six minutes, which is up from five. Xira the Underhanded has also been disabled on Mythic difficulties and removed from the Dungeon Journal.

Facebook is currently preparing new versions of its Oculus virtual reality headsets and the CEO and founder of the company, Mark Zuckerberg, has assured that he hopes to see new functions such as eye and face tracking to generate "realistic avatars." In a podcast interview with the Australian outlet The Information, Zuckerberg confirmed that Facebook is preparing at least two new versions of its Oculus Quest virtual reality headsets, which it has referred to as "Quest 3 and Quest 4". to succeed the current Oculus Quest 2. Likewise, the founder of the American company has spoken about the characteristics that he hopes to see in the virtual reality viewers of the future, both at the level of 'hardware' and 'software', and among them he has highlighted the realistic avatars based on his own Username. "One of the things that I am really excited about for future releases is eye tracking and face tracking, because if you're really excited about social presence, you have to make sure the device has all the sensors to animate realistic, animated avatars." , has assured Zuckerberg. Realistic avatars are a function of 'software' but in it 'hardware' is of great importance. Therefore, one of the main pillars of Oculus work is based on "equipping more sensors" in the visors, as described by the manager. Oculus and Facebook have already released earlier versions of digital avatars, but "the most important thing in a social tech experience is feeling like the other person is present, and no current technology has ever gone that far," according to Zuckerberg. For this reason, the CEO of Faceboook, one of the companies that is more committed to virtual reality, hopes to see in the future "that it reaches the point of having realistic avatars of oneself, with which one can have authentic visual contact with another person and have real facial expressions that are reflected in the avatar. " However, he has recognized that realistic avatars "still have several years to go" to become a reality, but he has highlighted the importance of promoting development in this regard. Likewise, Zuckerberg has highlighted other benefits of the use of avatars in virtual reality, such as reducing trips to work or social events and the environmental benefits derived from it.

Intel gets rid of extended warranty for overclocking on its Core processors Removing this warranty by Intel indicates that users are responsible for what happens to their processors. Usually few users choose this type of specific plan. For the average user, who will upload it a bit frequently, it doesn't make much sense. For professional overclockers, it is irrelevant, since they usually receive the processors of their sponsors. Intel's PTPP is reserved for Core-K processors only, the only ones with OC support. Said plan or guarantee implied a cost of between 20-30 dollars. It offered a guarantee that Intel would replace the damaged processor in case something went wrong during the overclock process. To PTPP clients, The Performance Tuning Protection Plan has been discontinued. As customers overclock with more confidence, we are seeing less demand for Performance Tuning Protection Plans (PTPPs). As a result, Intel will stop offering new PTPP plans as of March 1, 2021. Intel will continue to focus on delivering amazing processors with tuning flexibility and overclocking tools like Intel Performance Maximizer and Intel XTU. All existing plans will continue to be honored during the processor's warranty period. If you have questions, contact customer service. Note on Intel Xeon W-31 75X processor Xeon W-31 75X processor is automatically covered for overclocking, no additional plan or activation code required Thank you, PTPP Team.

The journalists of the Women's World Car of the Year have chosen the Land Rover Defender as the Best Car in the World 2021. To reach this result, the juries of this international team, made up of 50 experts in the motor world from 38 countries and the five continents, have tested dozens of models and evaluated each of their details. Nine vehicles have reached the final, each one of them the winner in its category, and all of them worthy candidates for the highest trophy awarded each year by the Women's World Car of the Year. The finalists have been: Peugeot 208. Best Urban Car Skoda Octavia. Best Family Car Lexus LC 500 Convertible. Best Luxury Car Ferrari F8 Spider. Best Sports Peugeot 2008. Best Urban SUV Land Rover Defender. Best Midsize SUV Kia Sorento. Best Large SUV Ford F-150. Best 4x4 and Pickup Honda e. Best Electric Vehicle After a vote in which different aspects such as safety, performance, comfort, technology and the quality / price ratio have been taken into account, the specialists have given the absolute victory to the Land Rover Defender. It thus becomes the Best Car in the World 2021. "The Women's World Car of the Year is the only jury in the world made up entirely of female motoring journalists. This gives it enormous value because its decisions represent the tastes and preferences of millions of female drivers from around the planet. They are prizes too of great importance for any type of buyer because cars are genderless and stereotyped. The winners of these awards are simply the best cars in the world. And this year the top winner is the Land Rover Defender, says Marta Garcia, Executive President of the Women's World Car of the Year. The voting system of the Women's World Car of the Year, a team that has the support of Newspress Spain, has been based this year on choosing the three best cars in each category in the first round, taking into account the models launched between January and December 2020. In the second round, the juries have chosen only one, the best in each category in relation to their rivals in the same segment. The third vote was undoubtedly the most difficult because the finalists were the winners of each segment, vehicles all with an excellent level. The vote was verified by Grant Thornton from his Auckland, New Zealand office. This auditor has certified the results of the Women's World Car of the Year since its inception in 2009. Paul Kane, a partner of the company, affirms that it is always a very close process. The Women's World Car of the Year is the only international award made up exclusively of women motoring journalists. It was created in 2009 by New Zealand communicator Sandy Myhre who currently serves as Honorary President. The executive presidency is in charge of the Spanish Marta García. The aim of this unique award is to recognize the best cars of the year. The voting criteria are based on the same principles that guide any driver when buying a vehicle. It is not "the woman's car" because such a concept does not exist, but a car for everyone. Aspects such as safety, quality, price, design, ease of driving and the environmental footprint among others are taken into account when voting.

The plenary session of the European Parliament voted on Monday the resolution that should withdraw the immunity enjoyed by Carles Puigdemont, Clara Ponsatí and Toni Comín, all of them claimed by the Spanish Justice. The weight of the three main groups -po[CENSORED]r, socialist and liberal- has guaranteed, as announced today, that the request of the Supreme Court is approved, despite the last minute maneuvers of Podemos and its top leader, the vice president Pablo Iglesias, who last week multiplied the efforts to try to change this result. The Government has called a telematic appearance before the journalists of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha González Laya, after knowing the result. The Legal Affairs Commission (JURI) of the European Parliament had already spoken in favor of the plenary session withdrawing the immunity of the former president of the Generalitat and his two advisers who are now MEPs. The commission's opinion was extremely clear in stating that the acts that the fugitives are accused of were committed before they were members of the European Parliament, so it is not justified that they are hiding behind the immunity of which until now they enjoy and, moreover, do not appreciate that there is persecution for their political ideas, which in the future may be the most important consideration for further legal action in the Belgian courts. Vote against Podemos In the week that followed this decision in the JURI committee, Pablo Iglesias multiplied his efforts before the European Parliament, including an interview with the president of the chamber, the Italian socialist David Sassoli, and a speech at the meeting of the parliamentary group, both telematics. With Sassoli, according to the version of Podemos, he spoke "of improving democracy in Europe and in Spain." From Podemos it is assured that Iglesias "already has enough with Spanish politics to be negotiating this in Europe", but it is a fact that the vote to withdraw immunity from Puigdemont was on the agenda. In fact, this Monday the Podemos delegation in the European Parliament announced in a statement that it would vote against the withdrawal of immunity from the three MEPs. However, the head of the Spanish Po[CENSORED]r Party delegation, Dolors Montserrat, announced via Twitter that she had voted in favor of granting the Supreme Court's request and "in favor of lifting the immunity of the three fugitives from Spanish Justice." "Our commitment is to the defense of democracy and the rule of law, in Spain and in the EU." The socialist and liberal deputies also voted in the commission in favor of the Supreme Court's petition, so it is assumed that they will add enough votes to approve it in plenary session. The deputies of Ciudadanos have maintained a clearly favorable attitude to the defense of Spanish Justice and believe that they will be able to maintain the loyalty of most of the group's representatives from other countries. The Spanish socialist delegation has maintained this position with a notorious low profile, in an attempt to reconcile its principles with the current needs of not aggravating tensions with its coalition partner. That does not affect Podemos, which in the statement published on Monday afternoon insists on the old thesis that “the lifting of immunity only has as a consequence the possibility that his extradition will be requested again to the Belgian courts. The Belgian Justice has already determined on several occasions that the Spanish Supreme Court does not have competence to request it and that, therefore, the judicial procedure has been formally irregular. Or that "the political conflict in Catalonia must be resolved through political means and through dialogue." "We will continue to defend the dialogue table, which Congress asked to reactivate in February, and we will not put more gasoline on the fire," they added. Telematic voting The regulation of the European Parliament establishes that in cases of withdrawal of immunity, a show of hands must be voted, but due to the mobility rules of the pandemic the plenary session is carried out electronically and the decision is adopted by secret ballot, which This is what explains why the result of the vote cannot be announced until today in the morning. The Supreme Court formally sent the three requests to the European Parliament in January 2020, but the paralysis forced by the disease blocked their processing until last November, when the process was reactivated once the legal service of the European Parliament endorsed the procedure to celebrate the confidential sessions on immunity cases online. This is of great importance because Puigdemont and the other escapees have already announced their intention to appeal the decision to the EU Court of Justice in Luxembourg for what they consider to have been irregularities in the processing of the petition. The president of the JURI commission, the City MEP

The Toyota Gazoo Racing promoted driver finished sixth in a Yaris, after battling with Sébastien Ogier and Oliver Solberg for much of the test. He matched his performance at the season-opening Monte Carlo Rally in January, but the 27-year-old wanted better. "I am happy with this weekend, but I wanted to show something else and I was hoping for a better position before the rally," said Katsuta. "I really enjoyed the stages and in some I was the fastest, while in others I was too careful and I lost too much time. When the conditions were constant I felt very safe, but when there was loose snow or big ruts I needed to improve my handling. "I have to focus on this and improve if I want to get on the podium or win rallies. I still have a lot to learn and I am even more motivated than before." Katsuta had more pre-test experience on the icy forest tracks surrounding Rovaniemi than any other frontline rider. He has competed in the Arctic Lapland Rally, a sister event to the WRC, on three occasions. His mentor at Toyota, former factory driver Juho Hänninen, saw Katsuta's performance from a different perspective. "From my point of view, this was the best rally Taka has ever done in the Yaris WRC. I know I was expecting a bit more and maybe a slightly better result," he said. "But at the same time, the loss at the finish line compared to the drivers in front was quite small and clearly the smallest difference he has made in the WRC, so from that point of view the result is good as well. He has been able to drive. very consistently all the time, without making big mistakes. "I could have driven faster, but I knew I had to go back a bit to have a clean race and be consistent, and that's very important. This kind of result will give you confidence for the future, I have no doubt," added Hänninen.

An off-duty ambulance driver slaughtered a nurse and his co-worker at the Prince of Asturias Hospital in Alcalá de Henares this Saturday. The Police are now investigating the relationship between the two, with the possibility that there was some type of prior confrontation as the main hypothesis of the murder. The alleged aggressor, a 39-year-old Spanish national, is being held at the local police station. Police sources have detailed to ABC that the event took place around two twenty in the afternoon, in the emergency room. According to the first investigations, it has been completely premeditated. The attacker, a driver for a company subcontracted by the Ministry of Health, was on vacation but showed up at the hospital in his work uniform. Thus, he circumvented any control at the entrance and went directly to the emergency room, where the victim, Sergio Luis G., 41, was. There he, armed with a large knife, he lunged by surprise and, according to investigators, stabbed him in the neck. The aggressor was detained by two police officers who were taking custody at the hospital and he has also been treated for a minor cut on one hand, presumably the result of a struggle they sustained. The deceased was treated in the same room by hospital personnel, but the resuscitation maneuvers were useless and could only confirm his death. Scientific and Judicial Police agents are already working in the place to try to resolve what happened. Summa psychologists also attend to family members and colleagues.

Loop Hero is an absolute delight – a genre-bending mashup of RPG games, strategy games, card games, roguelikes, and… idle games? It’s tough to describe in a single sentence, but its addictive, er, loop struck a chord with players thanks to a substantial demo, and it’s turning into a major indie breakout on Steam. Just 24 hours after release, developer Four Quarters announced that Loop Hero had already pulled in over 150,000 players. It’s currently hovering at the number two spot on Steam’s top seller list, just behind the impossibly-po[CENSORED]r Valheim. The game’s reached 38,764 concurrent players, as SteamDB shows, which puts it among the platform’s most po[CENSORED]r games – right between the likes of Civ 6 and Path of Exile. It’s easy to see why, too. Loop Hero has you placing both the monsters and rewards that await a little RPG hero who moves all on his own along a short loop. Each loop gets progressively more harrowing as you go, promising better treasures from more dangerous monsters the further you go – and you’re in control of the whole dungeon. As Ian notes in our Loop Hero review, it’s a little bit like playing a dungeon master for yourself, and the game is perfectly paced to keep you strung along to the next goal. There’s nothing else quite like it, and it’s very much worth checking out. For more fabulous indie games, you can follow that link.

Apple's 'Find My' application, which allows you to locate lost objects, such as the iPhone, will expand its functions to notify the user when it detects that a third party is tracking it. The third beta of iOS 14.5 includes several novelties related to the 'Find My' application, such as a new window of novelties, with the addition of support for accessories, which will allow to link elements of brands other than those of Apple. Also included is the view to the new Elements tab, where users can add those objects compatible with this application, and even indicate the ones they have found to contact the original user. The most outstanding novelty, however, is the security alert. As explained in 9to5Mac, the new function will notify the user if another person is using an unknown item, such as an AirTag, to track it, in case someone has slipped one into the user's bag or backpack, without their knowledge. The function what it does is detect if said unknown element is moving with the user, so that it can be eliminated or disabled.

NVIDIA GTX 970 ranks as one of the best quality / price graphics We must bear in mind that the NVIDIA GTX 970 was released on September 19, 2014, more than six years ago. Even today it is considered a very good graphics card for gaming. It allows playing at 1080p quite smoothly and has an approximate consumption of 150W. Currently this NVIDIA graphics card is around $ 200 on eBay, which is not an excessively high price. More or less the NVIDIA GTX 970 offers us a ratio of 0.18 FPS per dollar, which is not a bad relationship. Few graphs currently offer a similar relationship. Other graphics that offer a good FPS / dollar ratio are the R9 Fury X, the GTX 980 and the 3GB GTX 1060. The FPS / dollar ratio offered by the RTX 3090, RTX 3080 and RX 6900 is very bad for the inflated prices. But the one that currently offers the worst FPS / dollar ratio is the Radeon VII, a graphics that had an acceptable performance, but temperature problems and very high price at launch. Logically the NVIDIA GTX 970 is a solution to get out of trouble in these difficult times. It offers similar performance to the NVIDIA GTX 1650, which is quite remarkable. The GTX 970 integrates a total of 4GB, more than enough to play 1080p in medium and high quality.

ELMS complete with G-Drive Racing operated by Algarve Pro Racing. "I am very happy to have the opportunity to compete in the 2021 European Le Mans Series with G-Drive Racing operated by Algarve Pro Racing," said Fittipaldi. “It will be my first proper LMP2 campaign and I'm really looking forward to it, especially since my family has such a strong track record in endurance sports car racing; my cousin Christian (Fittipaldi) has won the 24 Hours of Daytona three times and my uncle Max (Papis) has two Daytona wins to his name, so they will certainly be able to give some good advice! “I have a lot of experience in formula-type cars, but I have also raced and tested closed-cab race cars. I was the fastest rookie in an end-of-season test in the Porsche 919 Hybrid LMP1. However, I always take things step by step because each car requires a different style and approach, and it can take time to adapt. My first test with Algarve Pro Racing is coming up very soon and I am very excited. This season will be a different experience and it will be great to work with John (Falb) and Rui (Andrade), "concluded Pietro, who will be crewing the # 25 car.

The Provincial Court of Zamora has sentenced a man to six years in prison for sexually assaulting his granddaughter from 2014, when the girl was eleven years old, until 2018, taking advantage of the summer and Easter holiday periods, when he was in charge of the minor, as reported to Ical sources of the Superior Court of Justice of Castilla y León. In addition to the jail sentence for the continued crime of sexual assault on a minor under 16 years of age, the Court imposes on the subject the prohibition, for ten years, to approach within 500 meters of the victim, his home, place of study or work and communication by any means, even if the girl requested or consented to it. Likewise, once the sentence is served, she will be on probation for ten years and will have to pay compensation of 10,000 euros. The maternal grandfather of the girl waited for her granddaughter to lie down and crawled into bed with her, at which point she was subjected to lustful fondling under and over her clothing and "with full knowledge of the young age of the victim who gave him his kinship with her ", according to the sentence. The girl "was unable to react" to her grandfather's behavior, "given her young age and the natural shyness and misunderstanding of why this was happening," and she did not speak to anyone about the attacks until, in 2018, when She was 15 years old, "she was honest with a friend and, encouraged by her, she denounced the facts."

The 19-year-old Hyundai Motorsport driver made an exceptional debut at the highest level at last week's Arctic Rally Finland Powered by CapitalBox. He led his i20 to seventh overall after being in the top five times in six of the 10 stages of the event. The son of the 2003 world champion, Petter, admitted that understanding and utilizing the downforce of the current generation of World Rally Cars had been as difficult as expected. "Honestly, I'm very, very happy with what we did last week," says Solberg. "The times were really good, but I know there is more to come. I have only taken a small step to understand what the Hyundai i20 WRC can do. "The level of aerodynamic grip is just unreal. In some corners, when turning the car, you hardly believe that it sticks to the ground, but it does. It is the most fantastic feeling and something that you do not get with normal cars." "I knew aerodynamics was going to be very important and coming to a test as fast as this was like going straight into the deep end. But it was a fantastic starting point." Solberg impressed the spectators with the fourth fastest time already in the second stage. It could have been before. "We got stuck at the start of the first stage," he says. "I tried really hard for a perfect start and it stuck. Then I stopped a bit on the snowbank later in the stage. It was not at all dramatic, it was in a very slow zone." The team calculated that the car was stopped for 18 seconds. Solberg was going to finish sixth, but a spin in the last stage, the Wolf Power Stage relegated him behind Takamoto Katsuta. The difference between the two was 1.2 seconds at the finish. "I know it's crazy to talk about this, but I was very desperate to try and fight Sébastien [Ogier] on this stage and did a spin. I was a little frustrated because I had made a little mistake in a corner just before, but the spin didn't. it was due to this. "Sébastien is a perfectionist and that's what I want to do. He's a guy I've watched a lot, he's a hero to me and racing against him has been a very strange feeling. Like Ogier, I want every corner to be perfect." Solberg's next mission will be another test drive with Hyundai's new i20 N Rally2.

The US Capitol police revealed on Wednesday the existence of a threat of attack on the seat of American po[CENSORED]r sovereignty. "We have obtained intelligence information that shows a possible plan to penetrate the Capitol this Thursday, March 4, by an identified militia," the security force said in a statement. The Capitol experienced a tragic and embarrassing assault on January 6 by a mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump, who encouraged the episode with an incendiary speech in Washington that same day. The Capitol security device was surprised with very few troops and unable to contain thousands of Trump supporters, some of them belonging to far-right militias such as the Oath Keepers or extremist groups such as the Proud Boys. The assailants broke the security cordon, smashed doors and windows, and invaded the Capitol with violence. Five people were killed, including a police officer. The communication of the threat for this Thursday coincided with the appearance of several military leaders and the security forces in the Senate to give explanations to the legislators about the failures in the device and the slowness in the sending of reinforcements. "We have increased the security device with physical structures and with more members to ensure the protection of Congress, citizens and police officers," says the statement from the Capitol Police, which warns that intelligence information is being taken. "seriously". The date of this Thursday is not accidental. There is a conspiracy theory that ensures that this will be the date on which Trump reappears to regain power. Until 1933, March 4 was the day that US presidents were sworn in. It's hard to think that an episode like January 6 could be repeated. The assault triggered a militarization of Washington for Biden's January 20 inauguration, which lasted several weeks, and there is still a National Guard device for the protection of the Capitol.

Epic Games has acquired the studio responsible for Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockouts, Tonic Games Group. This has been announced by the company on its own website, where they say that Epic will continue to invest in the development of the game and that it will soon arrive on Xbox and Nintendo Switch. However, it should not be forgotten that this game does not use Epic's own Unreal graphics engine, but is based on Unity. Following the acquisition, Epic assures that they will continue to invest in Falls Guys Currently, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockouts is sold on Steam, Valve's distribution platform, but if we take into account the history of Epic Games and their aggressiveness in the face of the competition, it would not be unusual for them to ban Steam and Fall Guys go to be exclusive to the Epic Games Store as has already happened with other acquisitions such as Rocket League, where Epic immediately removed the game from Steam to make it exclusive to its own store. Geeknetic Epic Games Buys Fall Guys 1 Creators For his part, Dave Bailery, CEO of Tonic Games, has assured that the operation is "as if they had found a home made for them, where they share their mission of creating and supporting games that have a positive impact and empower others.

The iOS 14 operating system, the latest version of the system for mobiles launched by Apple in September 2020, continues its expansion and is currently installed in 80 percent of all iPhone mobiles. According to the latest distribution data updated by Apple in the App Store, 86 percent of devices released in the last four years already use iOS 14, while the previous version, iOS 13, barely reaches 12 percent and systems previous ones stay at 2 percent. This figure is slightly reduced in the total number of devices in the iPhone mobile ecosystem, where despite this, 80 percent already have iOS 14 installed. The previous version, iOS 13, is used by 12 percent of mobile phones, and the previous ones they barely reach 8 percent. Along with iOS 14, Apple also released in September the latest version of its specific operating system for tablets, iPadOS 14, which has been working independently of iOS since 2019 (previously mobile phones and tablets used the same system). Among iPad models released in the past four years, iPadOS 14 is installed on 84 percent of devices, while iPadOS 13 is relegated to 14 percent of tablets and just 2 percent use older versions of iPadOS or iOS. In this case, the extension of iPadOS 14 in the total ecosystem of iPad devices is reduced, up to 70 percent of the total. 14 percent are still using iPadOS 13, while 16 percent are using even older versions.

Samsung will launch its SoCs with AMD RDNA graphics this year Samsung's SoCs, called Exynos, are a very interesting solution for smartphones and tablets, among others. These chips are based on the ARM big.LITTLE architecture, which combines high-power cores and high-efficiency cores. Now they will also be combined with AMD RDNA graphics, to improve gaming performance. Specifically, Twitter user Ice Universe indicates that Samsung will launch three SoCs. The Exynos 2200 Series would be the most powerful solution, the top-of-the-range chip. One notch below would be the high-end Exynos 1200 Series. Finally for the mid-range there is the Exynos 800 Series. The two most powerful would be those that integrate RDNA graphics. These new Exynos SoCs will combine ARM cores and AMD RDNA graphics would arrive by the end of the year. Samsung will target them first for high-end smartphones and then for Windows 10 ARM laptops. Quite possibly the Exynos 2200 Series SoCs would be destined for the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy Fold. Then it remains to be seen which SoC will be integrated into laptops and what performance they will offer. It seems that Samsung is going straight for Apple, copying the strategy of the Cupertino company to launch notebooks with ARM architecture SoCs. It will be interesting to see what the AMD RDNA architecture brings to the ARM architecture. The combination of both architectures could lead to major changes in the market. Although it is true that we do not know anything and that it is premature to speculate. 2021 Exynos Exynos 8xx Exynos 12xx Exynos 22xx
