While dyslexia is characterised by learning difficulties, researchers from the University of Cambridge have concluded that people with the disorder are skilled at exploring the unknown. This strength, according to researchers, has helped humans adapt and survive in changing environments. The findings came as researchers carried out a study on behaviour, cognition and the brain. They highlighted that the explorative strength in dyslexic people has an evolution link to it and has contributed to human survival. “We believe that the areas of difficulty experienced by people with dyslexia result from a cognitive trade-off between exploration of new information and exploitation of existing knowledge, with the upside being an explorative bias that could explain enhanced abilities observed in certain realms like discovery, invention and creativity,” explained Dr Helen Taylor, affiliated Scholar at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the University of Cambridge. She is the lead author of the study published in Frontier in Psychology. According to Taylor, the “deficit-centered” view of dyslexia isn't sufficient and there is a need to change the perspective. “This research proposes a new framework to help us better understand the cognitive strengths of people with dyslexia,” she added. This is the first time a cross-disciplinary approach using evolutionary perspective has been taken into consideration to study dyslexia. She highlighted that the environment offered at academic institutions, schools, and workplaces do not provide explorative learning. Taylor also called for incorporating such way of thinking so that humanity continues to adapt overcomes challenges. The findings are in context of the theory of Complementary Cognition that says that our ancestors evolved to get specialised in different but complementary ways of thinking. This helped humans adapt to changes through collaboration. “Striking the balance between exploring for new opportunities and exploiting the benefits of a particular choice is key to adaptation and survival and underpins many of the decisions we make in our daily lives,” said Taylor. While exploration involves searching for the unknown, exploiting is using what is already available such as refinement and selection. Taylor underlined that an explorative specialisation in dyslexic people could shed light on why they face difficulty in tasks related to exploitation. “It could also explain why people with dyslexia appear to gravitate towards certain professions that require exploration-related abilities, such as arts, architecture, engineering, and entrepreneurship,” she added. link:https://gadgets360.com/science/news/explorative-strength-dyslexic-people-human-survival-study-3104159

Since its announcements at WWDC 2022, users have been wondering how much of an improvement the battery life is on laptops running the new M2 chip - well, it's already impressing testers. Both the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro were refreshed to have the M2 chip, the successor to Apple's Silicon efforts that it announced almost two years ago. The M1 chip and its subsequent spinoffs impressed with its speed, power and battery life, trouncing previous Macs with the Intel chips. However, in our early testing of the M2 MacBook Pro, it came out with battery life that could easily last the working day, coming out with results of over 15 hours of battery life. While this is obviously impressive, I'm not tempted to start saving for an M2 MacBook Pro. Rather, it's the not-even-released M3 Pro chip in a future MacBook Pro that I'll be interested to look into more when the time comes. Apple's chip team has been on a roll since it announced the move from Intel chips to its own silicon. In my own tests when playing games in Parallels Desktop, I've been blown away by how well Metal Gear Solid V and others run at a 1440p resolution. My MacBook Pro has the M1 Pro chip - something that's looking like the halfway point between the M1 and M2. This is mainly due to the extra cores mine has for graphics, compared to the M1, which is most likely why I'm getting great performance from my testing. Yet the battery is still impressing me. I can have at least five apps running, six tabs open in both Chrome and Safari, and the Mac won't reach 10% after seven hours. Inevitably I can see an M2 Pro chip arriving towards the end of 2022 as Apple looks to refresh the MacBook Pro line, with better speeds and an even better battery. We aren't far off from seeing a Mac running for a whole day, with the iPhones getting closer in that regard, and the M2 Pro could make this a reality. But when I upgrade a device of mine, I like to skip a generation or more to make the most of the gains. This is why I went from an iPhone X to an iPhone 13 Pro in 2021. The speed at which Apple is improving upon the M1 chips and beyond is impressive, and while I can only speculate about the M3 Pro, I'd be confident in saying that this would be a substantial upgrade to users who want to game on the Mac. Especially with Metal 3 announced at WWDC, alongside Resident Evil Village and No Mans Sky arriving soon, there's plenty to look forward to. I can see a time when using Parallels Desktop to play Metal Gear Solid V again, could result in a higher framerate at higher graphical settings, as if the game had been ported to macOS. Advertisement Granted, I'm happy with my MacBook Pro 14-inch; it's the best Mac I've owned in the twenty years I've owned an Apple computer. However, we're approaching a point with these chips already where it's not an impossible scenario to imagine playing Metal Gear at its highest settings. And for me, that makes me excited for what my next Mac upgrade could bring when 2024 comes around. link:https://www.techradar.com/news/apples-m2-chip-makes-me-wonder-if-the-battery-in-an-m3-mac-could-last-all-day

Valve just tweeted out some great news for SteamDeck fans, saying it has more than doubled the number of Steam Decks being produced every week. The company also says it just sent out the last batch of Q2 reservation emails and is prepared to start kicking off Q3 reservations on the 30th -- or in three days. If you want to purchase a Steam Deck, now is s good time sign up. With production numbers more than doubling, Steam Deck consoles should be arriving to customers much sooner than before. That said, the expected availability date has not changed and still says "October 2022 or later." But there is a chance this date will change with production ramping up, since the date has remained the same for months. It isn't at all surprising that Valve is heavily increasing production. According to Valve, the Steam Deck has already become Steam's Top Seller since April and outperforms actual games sold on Steam such as Elden Ring which sits at second place. This shows there is huge demand for the Steam Deck, and Valve probably needed to increase production anyways to make sure reservation queue times stay as low as possible.With GPU shortages easing and demand now equalizing, it's possible Valve is able to purchase a higher quantity of Van Gogh SoCs from AMD, the chip that powers the Steam Deck. Steam Deck prices have not changed since launch, starting at $399.99 for the baseline 64GB eMMC model. Stepping up to the mid-range model will cost you $529, but that will get you 256GB of much faster NVMe storage and a Steam Community profile bundle. Finally, the flagship model comes in at $649 featuring a 512GB NVMe drive with an anti-glare etched glass screen (which we found isn't that durable) an exclusive carrying case and an exclusive virtual keyboard theme. Reservations start at $5 for all three models.

Chinese manufacturing giant, Huawei, is getting set to unveil the Huawei nova 10 series. Due to the ban on Huawei, the company now releases one Mate, or one P series each year. Last year, the company unveiled the Huawei P50 series on July 29th. If all goes according to plan, the company will unveil the Huawei Mate 50 series in the third quarter of this year. Over the past few months, there have been multiple reports regarding the Huawei Mate 50 series. This company will also unveil its latest HarmonyOS 3.0 with the Mate 50 series. This new system will bring some major changes to users and has already started developer testing recruitment. Equalleaks claims that the Huawei Mate 50 series officially hit the market on September 12th. The leak claims that this device will come with a new Kirin SoC, “Kirin 9000s”. However, there is not much information regarding this new Kirin chip. With the arrival of the Huawei Mate 50 series, Huawei officials also confirm that HarmonyOS will launch globally. Derek Yu, President of Huawei’s Consumer Business Center, previously confirmed that the Huawei Mate 50 series will be released in 2022. He also confirmed that the Mate 50 series launch will hold at a global press conference and this device will come with HarmonyOS. According to reports, this flagship smartphone is already in testing and will arrive in two months. Po[CENSORED]r Weibo leakster, @DCS revealed an image which indicates that the Huawei Mate 50 test model comes with the new Kirin SoC. This chip is the Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 9000s. In addition, the release date of the Huawei’Mate 50 series is scheduled for September 12. This means that the Huawei Mate 50 launch will go head-to-head with Apple’s iPhone 14 series. As of now, there are salient reports that the iPhone 14 series will arrive in August or September this year. While Huawei will not have any impact globally, the tussle in the important Chinese smartphone market will be intense. These smartphones will go head-to-head and the competition for new phones from other Chinese brands will be fierce Judging from previous revelations, the Huawei Mate 50 series will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 4G processor. However, this smartphone will support a mobile phone case which will make it support the 5G network. This device also comes with a better camera relative to the Huawei P50 series. Furthermore, the new HarmonyOS 3.0 will bring more convenient interaction and collaboration capabilities. Huawei released the developer preview version of HarmonyOS 3 last year. It will continue to innovate around the three core values of system architecture, super terminal, and one-time development and multi-terminal deployment. Its target is to bring a comprehensive upgrade of system capabilities and development tools. Last week, Huawei officially commences the HarmonyOS 3.0 Open beta recruitment for developers.The company officially commenced pushing out of the HarmonyOS 3.0 developer beta today. From the changes that users have noticed so far, the HarmonyOS 3.0 status bar icon has been changed. According to reports, the position of the icon display in the status bar of HarmonyOS 3.0 has been adjusted. The previous HD icon has been removed, and icons such as WiFi have also been moved to the right. At the same time, the new HarmonyOS 3.0 version has also adjusted the side notification bar.The registration period for the HarmonyOS 3.0 developer beta is from 09:00 on June 15, 2022, to 23:00 on July 15, 2022 (review period: 09:00 on June 25, 2022, ~ 2022. There is a long list of Huawei devices that supports HarmonyOS 3.0. These devices SMARTPHONES Huawei P50 Huawei P50 Pro Huawei-P50 Pocket Huawei Mate 40 Huawei Mate 40 Pro Huawei-Mate 40 Pro 4G Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ Huawei Mate 40 RS Porsche Design Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6-inch 2021 models. Please refer to “Model List” for specific models. Last year, Huawei released the HarmonyOS 3 developer preview. The Chinese manufacturer has been putting a lot of effort into the development of this system. The global release of this operating system will further enhance its useability. However, Huawei is taking its time before releasing this operating system globally. The HarmonyOS 3.0 will Greatly enhance JS / eTS language application development capabilities; further improve the functions of ArkUI and ArkCompile; efficiently develop complex interface applications with concise JS/eTS language. The application startup speed can improve HUAWEI FREEBUDS PRO 2 TO LAUNCH WITH HUAWEI MATE 50 SERIES A few days ago, Huawei launched FreeBuds Pro 2 headphones in the European market. This device is available in silver, ceramic white and new silver-blue and it comes with a 199 euros price tag. There are speculations that Huawei will release this headset together at the Huawei nova 10 conference on July 4. Nevertheless, conflicting reports reveal that Huawei will mainly launch the nova 10 series at the conference next month. The report claims that the Huawei Watch Fit 2 smartwatch, AITO car M7, and FreeBuds Pro 2 that everyone is looking forward to will arrive at the Mate50 launch event. This means we will have to wait until September for these devices to arrive.According to reports, the weight of a single Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 headset is 5.9 grams, which is lighter than its predecessor (6.1 grams). In terms of acoustics, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 is equipped with an 11mm unit with a frequency response range of 14 Hz to 40 kHz, supports Bluetooth 5.2 and LDAC, AAC and SBC decoding, and is equipped with three microphones. Huawei has teamed up with French audio manufacturer, Devialet to design the FreeBuds Pro 2 earphones. This further improves the audio of this device with dual HWA and Hi-Res Wireless certifications and the audio transmission is up to 990 kb/s. This device also supports IP54 waterproof and dustproof certification. link:https://www.gizchina.com/2022/06/26/huawei-mate-50-series-launch-date-harmonyos-3-global-launch-is-here/

The GoPro Hero 11 Black will almost certainly be GoPro's next flagship action camera. There are currently almost no reliable rumors about the upcoming camera, but a little informed digging around tells us a lot about what it may be like. So we've rounded up all of our thoughts, and wishes, in this Hero 11 Black deep dive. Despite its likely arrival, it's quite possible that GoPro’s biggest news of this year won't have anything to do with the Hero 11 Black. Earlier this year, GoPro CEO Nick Woodman said the company plans to expand its range in 2022, beyond the Black and Max lines we have today. One of those new cameras is most likely the drone-friendly GoPro Hero 10 Black Bones. But could we also see a return of the White or Silver series? A new large-sensor GoPro Hero 'Platinum' to take on the 1-inch sensor action cameras from Insta360? Who knows, but we’ll be back with more on those future products as the information lands. In the meantime, we're here to talk about the Hero 11 Black, or whatever becomes the direct successor to the Hero 10 Black once GoPro has shaken up its line-up. Here's everything we expect, and hope, to see in its next flagship action camera as it strives to hold onto the top spot in our guide to the best action cameras. The GoPro Hero 11 Black is likely to be announced in September 2022, if we take previous release dates as a guide. All GoPros from 2017 to today were announced in September, bar the GoPro Hero 8 Black, which was announced in mid-October. GoPro has a consistent launch schedule for these mainline action cameras, a little like Apple and its iPhones. The GoPro Hero 11 Black pricing will be an interesting test of the increase in inflation across key GoPro markets. While we don’t expect the camera to have too many astounding new features that would cause a dramatic bump up from the Hero 10 Black’s current $499 / £479 / AU$659 tag, a rise of $50 or so seems possible. We also expect to see GoPro aggressively push its GoPro Subscription for the camera, which should again bring a $100 / £100 / AU$150 discount for those who don't mind signing up to the company's membership service (which can be canceled at any time). Right now, there are very few credible rumors about the GoPro Hero 11 Black. Given it isn't expected to arrive until September, that isn't too surprising. But by digging into the Hero 10 Black's specs, and looking back at GoPro's recent history and comments, we can get a decent idea of what to expect. Here are six things we'd like to see from the flagship action camera – and how likely we think they are. The last significant change to the GoPro Black series' outer design arrived with the Hero 9 Black. Its shell was 9mm wider and 10mm taller than the previous version. This came with the series’s shift in sensor tech, but didn’t seem a huge issue compared to older generations’ designs, as the built-in mount fingers mean you don’t need a separate mount case. GoPro could make some tweaks to these replaceable mount fingers by including a 1/4-inch threaded mounting point. This is probably harder than it sounds, as it would likely require the mount’s base to run deeper in the GoPro Hero 11 Black’s camera body, as well as a redesign of the fingers’ hinge system. However, it would let you attach the camera directly to a tripod plate. Advertisement This would be similar to GoPro’s relatively quiet upgrade of an oleophobic coating on the GoPro Hero 10 Black’s lens glass. We don’t want the GoPro Hero 11 Black to get significantly larger, but it would benefit from a bigger rear display. Eliminate some of the blank border around the Hero 10 Black’s 2.27-inch back LCD and you’d have a more comfortable way to compose your shots and navigate the system UI. A larger screen is also likely to draw more power, but this could be minimized by using a more efficient panel. LTPO, LTPS, IGZO and a-Si are various types of backplane technology used in screens (LCD and OLED), and have an effect on a display’s power consumption. We don’t actually know the specifics of the GoPro Hero 10 Black display’s tech, but we’re going to guess it does not use top-dog LTPO, which we only tend to encounter in OLED screens these days. A high-resolution OLED screen could be a great solution. To date, OLED panels have not been particularly prevalent in action cameras, but the DJI Action 2 uses one. As the Hero 10 Black’s rear LCD can already reach around 800 nits, it doesn’t really need a higher-end display. But the poppy contrast of OLED would provide conspicuous tech progress that the camera may lack in other areas. Every time we start thinking about a next-generation GoPro, a new and larger sensor is always near the top of our wishlist. It means better native light sensitivity, superior dynamic range and a greater ability to deal with poor lighting – something at which GoPros still do not excel. Advertisement Our best bet is the GoPro Hero 11 Black will not have a new sensor, though. For the last 10 years, GoPro has given each of the Sony sensors it uses three generations on duty before upgrading. The GoPro Hero 11 Black would mark the third outing for the Sony IMX677. There is pressure from elsewhere, of course. The DJI Action 2 has a larger 1/1.7-inch sensor, but it simply does not eclipse the Hero 10 Black for imaging, so that pressure is not currently excessive. Also, we do not know of a Sony sensor that would actually be a wholesale upgrade – one slightly larger that still supports 5K video capture and 4K at 120fps. For those interested, here are the sensors used in the Black series over the last decade. GoPro sensors Sensor GoPro Models Sony IMX177 Hero 3 Black, Hero 4 Black, Hero 5 Black Sony IMX277 Hero 6 Black, Hero 7 Black, Hero 8 Black Sony IMX677 Hero 9 Black, Hero 10 Black Considering GoPro’s CEO has said we’ll see new lines this year, the company may be considering a fresh model with a 1-inch sensor. The obvious candidate is the Sony IMX383, a 20MP sensor capable of 5.3K video at 60fps, 4K at 120fps and 2.7K at 240fps. Why not just shove this into the Hero 11 Black? It would almost certainly lead to a significantly larger action ca We don’t think it would necessarily be all that attractive anyway. There’s a distinct loss of clarity when you switch to Full HD capture with a GoPro, whose small sensor is unable to match that of a full-frame or Micro Four Thirds camera. GoPro has already tapped out the Sony IMX677’s capabilities in the GoPro Hero 10 Black. With one notable exception... The Sony IMX677 is a DOL-HDR capable sensor. This means it can capture two sets of exposures, one darker and one lighter, as it reads through the sensor line by line, rather than taking them sequentially and risking HDR ghosting artifacts. We do not get HDR video in the GoPro Hero 10 Black, just HDR stills, and such a mode would be a real benefit for the new camera. While GoPro video quality is great, the limited native dynamic range of the sensor means you’ll frequently see clipped highlights in clouds when the camera ends up dialling in exposure to match a darker part of the scene. In a best-case scenario, DOL-HDR results in a halving of frame rate, suggesting that 4K HDR video at 60fps may be possible in the GoPro Hero 11 Black. That would be great. There’s a roadblock, though. If we dig into the data sheet of the Sony IMX677 once more, there’s no mention of a drive mode for DOL-HDR – something you will find in documentation for other sensors like the IMX477. It may be that this sensor can only use DOL-HDR for stills, which sucks. This is what we currently get in the GoPro Hero 10 Black: HDR for stills but not video. But let’s hope that’s not the case. With few obvious hardware routes for classic GoPro upgrades in the next generation, we might instead see the Hero 11 Black wring some new software features from its GP2 processor. This chipset was introduced in the Hero 10 Black, and dramatically improved the responsiveness of the interface, but it could also be used to deliver fresh software features. We’re shooting in the dark here, but GoPro could add a background blur portrait mode for those who want to vlog and home, but don’t have a stylish-looking background to do so. It could use face recognition to auto-crop to a certain framing of the subject’s face, effectively a form of auto-editing for content creators. Other cameras use smarter and faster face and object recognition to aid autofocus, but that just isn’t relevant in a GoPro action camera. They have fixed focus lenses, and we don’t think that will change in a Hero 11 Black. There’s significant scope for GoPro to boost the quality of its night-time stills, too. Increased processing power may make it possible to use computational techniques closer to those of a decent phone camera. GoPro has made some progress here already, but the stills shooting experience is clunky and slow compared to that of a phone. Advertisement Improved low-light video quality is what we're most keen to see, but GoPro already implemented the most obvious way to do this in the Hero 10 Black. It’s 3DNR, which is noise reduction that uses successive frames to inform the noise reduction algorithm. The third “3D” dimension here is not depth, but time. Fingers crossed we’ll see low-light image quality improve at least a little in the GoPro Hero 11 Black. Some recent phones also use the DOL-HDR technique mentioned earlier to bring low-light video quality closer to that of low-light stills. If the Hero 11 Black hardware is capable of this, it could bring about a sea change in the quality of consumer-grade action camera night video. GoPro may also fold in features currently in progress in GoPro Labs, which offers beta firmware for more intrepid users. Such features include triggers to start capture when the camera is plugged in over USB or when it detects motion – intended primarily for dash cam use. There's also a 'one button' mode where all functions are locked off apart from starting and stopping capture. Given how often we’ve accidentally swiped the display into its stills mode, this could be handy. link:https://www.techradar.com/news/gopro-hero-11-black-what-we-want-to-see mera, which may be less appealing for plenty of prospective GoPro buyers. Still, stick it in a new line and buyers who value image quality more have another option to consider.

After reports flooded the internet a few days ago showing users how to easily upgrade the Steam Deck's 2230 SSD to a bigger 2242 drive, a Valve employee has taken to Twitter to shut down the mod as quickly as possible due to reliably concerns for the device. According to a Tweet by Steam Designer Lawrence Yang,(opens in new tab) modding the Steam Deck to run larger SSDs than 2230 will result in a significantly shorter life span of the Deck due to overheating problems. Yang says the internals around the M.2 slot is very sensitive to additional power requirements and thermal pad modifications. As a result, the charge ICs can get very hot if you relocate the nearby thermal pads. Additionally, Yang says larger M.2 drives traditionally draw more power than the 2230 models, which isn't optimal since Valve didn't design the Steam Deck for more power-hungry SSDs. These two factors combined will significantly reduce the life of the Deck. Last week, Twitter user Belly Jelly shared a tutorial on how to upgrade the Steam Deck's built-in SSD to a slightly larger 2242 drive. The most incentivizing part of the drive mod is its low difficulty, with the modder saying there is very little work needed to make the transition. This mod is easy to carry out since it requires almost no additional effort from the end-user, and it should also be easy to accomplish for inexperienced modders. The mod consists of moving the cables and thermal pads around to accommodate the larger drive. The heat spreader will bend a little bit, but it isn't severe enough to cause any immediate issues. Belly Jelly stated that the drive does not collide with the motherboard or put additional strain on cables. It is probably why Valve responded so quickly about this mod and warned against its use Since there is a high chance many gamers will try this mod on their Deck. But thankfully, there is very little reason to upgrade the Deck's M.2 drive in the first place. Valve has already implemented an SD card slot into the Deck for storage expansion purposes. Even though SD cards are technically slower, we found in testing that the SD card solution is perfectly adequate, and frame rates are identical to running games on the internal M.2 drive. link:https://www.tomshardware.com/news/steam-deck-designer-warns-against-ssd-mod

TikTok’s global domination continues as the app has made its way over to Vizio smart TVs(opens in new tab). The update is currently rolling out(opens in new tab) with a new app sitting right on the Home Page. Vizio is a little slow in supporting TikTok as competitors Samsung and LG had the app when it first launched in North America back in November 2021. TikTok TV is essentially the same as the mobile app but on a bigger screen and without the ability to record video. What’s noteworthy about this particular rollout is that Vizio TVs are known for being cheap. You can purchase, for instance, Vizio’s V-Series 43-inch 4K HDR TV for a little under $300. Compare that to Samsung 4K TVs. You'll likely pay over $400 for one, and that's assuming it's on sale. There is a catch, however. A Vizio representative confirmed that the app will be available on all Vizio TVs that have SmartCast, which is the company’s own app platform. If you don’t know if your TV has SmartCast, you can check by going to Vizio’s website(opens in new tab) and looking up your model; it'll be listed on the product page. According to the website, all Vizio TVs from 2021 and newer come with SmartCast. This implies that if you have an older model, you may not have the app platform and thus no way to get TikTok TV. Other than its availability on low-cost TVs, TikTok TV is pretty much the same. You can connect your TikTok account to the Vizio display in order to watch videos from your personalized feed. The app also has AutoPlay enabled for a continuous content stream. Analysis: Trying out new things As TikTok steps away from its mobile roots and out to new platforms, you can’t help but wonder what parent company ByteDance has in store for its app. Rolling out to low-cost 4K TVs will probably gain them an even bigger audience, but you can only do so much with the same content. As a result, TikTok has been trying out new things. Back in February, the app extended the maximum video length to 10 minutes, seemingly taking on YouTube. And reports from May reveal ByteDance is looking at implementing video games on its service. But they’re pretty simple mobile games like running down a lane and avoiding obstacles. It's interesting to see what TikTok is doing to spur growth, even if it is pretty random. Also, you may not know this, but it’s entirely possible to download TikTok videos. TechRadar has a guide on how to save your favorites from getting lost in the giant content library.

Intel claims this chip provides an average 13% generational jump in gaming performance, beats AMD's Ryzen 9 5950X flagship by up to 30% in gaming, and offers up to twice the performance of its predecessor in content creation workloads. Intel even claims up to an 84% generational gain in fps in some game streaming scenarios we have our own testing in the article below, and there's no doubt that the Alder Lake chips are now the fastest gaming chips on the planet. They also bring amazing overclocking headroom for enthusiasts, offering up much more extra performance than AMD's Ryzen 5000 chips. You can see the breakdown of that advantage in our How to Overclock 12th Gen Intel Alder Lake CPUs feature, or head to our How to Overclock a CPU guide for more detail. You can also see how Alder Lake fares against AMD's comparable chips in these dedicated head-to-head articles: Intel Core i9-12900K vs Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X: Alder Lake and Ryzen 5000 Face Off Intel Core i5-12600K vs AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and 5800X Face Off: Ryzen Has Fallen Intel Core i7-12700K vs AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 5800X Face Off: Intel Rising Alder Lake represents a massive strategic shift as Intel looks to regain the uncontested performance lead against AMD's Ryzen 5000 series processors. AMD's Zen 3 architecture has taken the lead in our Best CPUs for gaming and CPU Benchmarks hierarchy, partly on the strength of Ryzen's higher core counts. That's not to mention the pressure from Apple's M1 processors that feature a similar hybrid design to Alder Lake and come with explosive single-threaded performance improvements of their own. Intel's Alder Lake brings disruptive new architectures and supports features like PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 that leapfrog AMD and Apple in connectivity technology and also outstrip Ryzen's core counts in mobile designs. It all starts with a new way of thinking for x86 chips by pairing high-performance and high-efficiency cores within a single chip. That well-traveled design philosophy powers billions of Arm chips, often referred to as Big.Little (Intel calls its implementation Big-Bigger), but it's a first for x86 desktop PCs. The Golden Cove architecture powers Alder Lake's 'big' high-performance cores, while the 'little' Atom efficiency cores come with the Gracemont architecture. Intel etches the cores on its 'Intel 7' process, marking the company's first truly new node for the desktop since 14nm debuted six long years ago. Intel is going all-in: the company will reunify its desktop and mobile lines with Alder Lake. Intel says it will tune Alder Lake for high-performance, a must for desktop PCs and high-end notebooks. As evidenced by its opening salvo of 12th-Gen Alder Lake mobile lineup that tops out at 14 Cores and 5.0 GHz, it appears the company has done just that for mobile, too.

Riot Games will begin background evaluation of recorded in-game voice communications on July 13th in North America, in English. In a brief statement(opens in new tab) Riot said that the purpose of the recording is ultimately to "collect clear evidence that could verify any violations of behavioral policies."For now, however, recordings will be used to develop the evaluation system that may eventually be implemented. That means training some kind of language model using the recordings, says Riot, to "get the tech in a good enough place for a beta launch later this year."Riot also makes clear that voice evaluation from this test will not be used for reports. "We know that before we can even think of expanding this tool, we’ll have to be confident it’s effective, and if mistakes happen, we have systems in place to make sure we can correct any false positives (or negatives for that matter)," said Riot.

here my pc characteristics

When I got my first 4K TV, the first movie to grace the lovely new screen was Blade Runner 2049. It's a looker at any resolution, but I had high expectations—high expectations that were cruelly stomped on straight away. It looked awful. Cheap and artificial, like I was watching from the edge of a budget drama set. I thought maybe I just needed to get used to it and my eyes would eventually adjust. And it did look fantastic when nothing was moving. I was lying to myself. After a lot of self-deception, I had a moment of clarity and finally checked the settings, where of course I discovered that I had become the latest victim of motion smoothing. The villain who decided to have it on by default must truly hate movies and everyone who watches them. But the moment I turned it off I had a nice TV and I could enjoy Ryan Gosling the way he was meant to be enjoyed—at a slightly slower frame rate. God, I wish it was that easy to fix all the issues with Blade Runner Enhanced Edition.Nightdive's remaster immediately feels off in exactly the same way as a movie that's been brutalised by motion smoothing. The cutscenes have all been bumped up to 60fps, and the result is jarring, evoking a soap opera instead of cinematic sci-fi.Like the rest of the game they've also been upscaled, but rather than enhancing Blade Runner it ends up smudging all the smaller details and cleaning up the grime. What's left is a recollection of the look and atmosphere of the original, blurred through time. Nightdive didn't have access to the source code(opens in new tab), which delayed the remaster while the team reverse-engineered the original. This massively limited what Nightdive could do, but not doing anything would have been better than what we've ended up with. Artistic intent has been completely overlooked, which does a huge amount of damage and undermines every scene. When Ray McCoy steps out of his car in front of his first crime scene of the night, the neon sign above the pet shop glows with such ferocity that you can hardly make out the name, though admittedly it was always pretty garish. The police cordon, meanwhile, is utterly illegible for a different reason—the red letters now smeared across the black background by a child's chubby fingers. Something has gone terribly wrong here. Maybe that's what Ray should be investigating. The android-hunting gumshoe, meanwhile, looks entirely out of place, lit up by his own personal sun, starkly juxtaposed with the gloomy noir backdrop. I'm impressed that Ray can pull off miracles now, but it's a little bit distracting. Ray and the interactive NPCs have always looked distinct from the background characters, and this serves a function: it's easy to tell who you should be clicking on. But now they look like they've been superimposed onto the scene, completely separate from the rest of the world. And lit up like this, there are so many imperfections that I would never have been able to spot otherwise. This is especially noticeable when Ray hits up Chinatown, a previously striking location that now looks hideous thanks to the unnatural vibrancy of the character models, which are also untouched by the scene's dramatic lighting and ever-present fog. While Blade Runner always had some ugly visual quirks, they gave it some rough character that I now find myself missing. And for the most part, it was one of those rare games that, upon playing it many, many years after I first tried to hunt down some replicants, still managed to impress. Its singular style—at least for a game—kept it looking fresh and eye-catching for decades. Now that's gone. Look at what they've done to poor Ray's lovely apartment. Ray's apartment in the original Original(Image credit: Westwood) Enhanced(Image credit: Westwood/Nightdive) It's been etched in my memory for decades, but now you can hardly even make out the Mesoamerican tiles that elevate it beyond a dingy art-deco bachelor's pad. In this screenshot you'll also notice one of the few things that can really be considered an 'enhancement': subtitles. This immediately makes Blade Runner more accessible, but why oh why did they have to look so dang ugly? The existing font has also been pushed aside, so now the interface looks off as well. It's a reminder that fonts are just as much part of the art direction as the lighting, and again we see the original artistic intent being completely ignored. The menus are more functional now, sure, but it shouldn't come at the cost of form; they should be working together. Original interface Original(Image credit: Westwood) Enhanced(Image credit: Westwood/Nightdive) New bugs have also been introduced. In the first crime scene, Ray won't move when you click on a destination, unless the destination is something he can interact with. Audio also occasionally cuts out during conversations. When you pick up an item, it's meant to linger on the screen so you can get a better look at your haul, but now it vanishes in a millisecond. You can still inspect them in your list of clues, at least. None of this is too egregious, but when piled on top of all the other problems, it's much harder to overlook. I was excited to play through one of my favourite adventure games again, but I'm done—it's all too disappointing. This is an inferior version by a significant margin, and should be avoided unless you desperately want to play it on consoles where it now appears for the first time. The ScummVM version that was previously on GOG has been removed from the store, too, though it's at least bundled with the new one. This isn't the case on Steam, however, so don't bother with that version. Even with the story and mechanics intact, it's lost too much of what made it memorable. The atmosphere, art and the work Westwood did to bring the moody cinematic universe to life have all been undone. These are the things that have kept me recommending it to anyone in the market for an adventure game all these years. I appreciate Nightdive's mission to preserve classic games, but it's done the opposite here. Without the source code, the project probably shouldn't have been greenlit in the first place. link:https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/blade-runner-enhanced-edition-is-a-disaster-not-a-remaster/

Astronomers had a rare opportunity to observe a galaxy in the early universe that is providing its surroundings with the building blocks required to create later generations of stars and galaxies, thanks to a fortunate cosmic alignment. The experts have found that the distant galaxy has been spewing elements required for the formation of galaxies and stars. The galaxy, A1689-zD1, was seen with gas flowing over its edges and is said to be the earliest known-run-of-the-mill galaxy. It was spotted in light magnified by a large galaxy cluster named Abell 1989 that can intensify, bend, or gravitationally lens light from the earliest galaxies. A1689-zD1 doesn't produce many stars, causing it to appear dimmer than other galaxies observed through telescopes. Here, the cluster helped in intensifying the light by nearly 10 times. The astronomers have submitted their findings to arXiv.org. Astronomer Hollis Akins and his colleagues employed the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a large network of radio telescopes, to study light. They observed the intensities of specific spectral lines of oxygen and carbon that indicate hot ionised gas and cold neutral gas, respectively. “A1689-zD1 is located in the very early Universe— only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This is the era when galaxies were just beginning to form. What we see in these new observations is evidence of processes that may contribute to the evolution of what we call normal galaxies as opposed to massive galaxies. More importantly, these processes are ones we did not previously believe applied to these normal galaxies,” said Akins, an undergraduate student in astronomy at Grinnell College and the lead author of the research. While the hot gas was traced near the bright stars, the astronomers were surprised to spot the cold gas extending four times farther. “There has to be some mechanism to get carbon out into the circumgalactic medium,” said Akins. He suspected that the outflowing gas from the galaxy could be due to smaller galaxies merging with it or because of heat emitted from star formation which was pushing the gas out. Tracing the gases, researchers noted that the hot gas had an overall larger movement than the cold one. This, according to Akin, meant that the hot gas was being pushed out from the galaxy's centre to the outer regions. Akin explained that the hot gas flows out and expands before cooling down in the process. This causes the cold gas to appear flowing over A1689-zD1's edge. The findings showed that the phenomenon of gas outflow takes place not only in the extreme and super bright galaxies but in the normal ones too. link:https://gadgets360.com/science/news/astronomers-light-distant-galaxy-fascinating-features-star-forming-material-3096698

Intel announced the company's Arc Alchemist mobile lineup back in March. The high-end Arc 7 A730M and A770M won't hit the U.S. market until summer, but they're already shipping in select laptops in China. In a new reviewer's guide, Intel claims that the A730M and A770M are faster than Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile and RTX 3060 Mobile, respectively. The A730M and the A770M are the top performers from the A-series mobile lineup. The discrete graphics cards feature Intel's ACM-G10 silicon baked with TSMC's 6nm process node. The A730M comes with 24 Xe cores, 24 ray tracing units, and a clock speed up to 1,100 MHz. The superior A770M has eight more Xe cores and ray tracing units while also enjoying a clock speed that hits 1,650 MHz. As a result, the A770M offers twice the compute performance as the A730M. There's also a significant gap in memory configuration between the A730M and A770M. The A730M has 12GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit memory interface, whereas the A770M wields 16GB of GDDR6 and a 256-bit memory bus. As always, we recommend you approach vendor benchmarks with caution. The disparity between the hardware for the four gaming laptops that Intel used in its tests is evident. The A730M pre-production unit features the latest Core i7-12700H, a 14-core Alder Lake-H chip, and 16GB of DDR5-4800. On the other hand, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile belongs to the ROG Zephyrus M16, which has the previous octa-core Core i7-11800H Tiger Lake chip and 16GB of DDR4-3200 memory. More importantly, Asus' device uses the 60W version of the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti. For reference, there are 70W and 80W variants, so the one inside the ROG Zephyrus M16 isn't the best-performing SKU. There's even a more notorious difference between the A770M and GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile machines. The A770M's pre-production laptop has a 14-core Core i9-12900HK, the flagship Alder Lake-H SKU, and 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory. The GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile emerges inside the MSI Pulse GL66, which has nearly the exact same specifications as the ROG Zephyrus M16. The GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile has a TGP range between 60W and 115W, and the MSI Pulse GL66 features the 85W variant. Caveats on the discrepancies in test hardware notwithstanding, let's go ahead and hit the Intel-provided benchmarks. Arc A730M, A770M Benchmarks: RTX 3050 Ti Arc A730M RTX 3060 Arc A770M 17 Game Geometric Mean 57.2 64.6 78.8 88.3 Assassin's Creed Valhalla (High) 38 50 74 69 Borderlands 3 (Ultra) 45 50 60 76 Control (High) 42 62 70 89 Cyberpunk 2077 (Ultra) 39 49 54 68 Death Stranding (Ultra) 89 87 113 102 Dirt 5 (High) 64 61 83 87 F1 2021 (Ultra) 68 86 96 123 Far Cry 6 (Ultra) 63 68 80 82 Gears of War 5 (Ultra) 58 52 72 73 Horizon Zero Dawn (Ultimate Quality) 63 50 80 68 Metro Exodus (Ultra) 39 54 53 69 Red Dead Redemption 2 (High) 46 60 66 77 Strange Brigade (Ultra) 98 123 134 172 The Division 2 (Ultra) 63 51 78 86 The Witcher 3 (Ultra) 96 101 124 141 Total War Saga: Troy (Ultra) 48 66 71 86 Watch Dogs Legion (High) 59 71 77 89 According to Intel's 1080p (1920x1080) results, the Arc A730M was up to 13% faster than the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile. Intel didn't specify the TGP for the A730M, so we can't put those numbers into perspective. We know that the A730M wiggles in between 80W and 120W, and the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile spans from 35W to 80W. Intel used the 60W SKU for comparison paired with a slower processor. Even then, the difference wasn't very substantial. The Arc A770M, the flagship mobile Arc SKU, delivered up to 12% higher performance than the GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile. But again, the TGP for the A770M remains a mystery. As per Intel, the A770M sits between 120W and 150W. However, the GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile was at 85W and had the same last-generation processor as the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile. The GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile offers TGP limits between 60W and 115W, so the tested variant is basically at the halfway point. The performance delta between the Alchemist and Ampere graphics cards was less than 15%. The margins would probably be lower if Intel had paired Ampere with identical processors like the Intel units and used the higher TGP versions. Perhaps, it may have even tipped the scales. Then again, that's the problem with vendor benchmarks. You can't trust them. Overall, it's good to see that Intel might be able to deliver GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile levels of performance, and pricing will, of course, be a factor to consider. Intel offers AV1 encoding hardware, which you don't get on other GPUs right now, and it also has some synergies it can leverage when you pair an Arc GPU with an Intel 12th Generation Alder Lake CPU — things like Hyper Encode and Deep Link. Drivers and gaming performance, meanwhile, seem like they'll fall toward the mainstream and budget sector, so hopefully, vendors will price laptops accordingly. The fact that Intel is doing all of the Arc GPUs, both mobile and desktop, as China first launches doesn't give us a lot of confidence either, but perhaps by the time the U.S. launch rolls around, more bugs will have been squashed. link:https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-arc-mobile-benchmarks-a770m-beats-rtx-3060

Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 update that PC gamers in particular should install, as it fixes an annoying issue that caused games to sometimes crash. The update, known as KB5014668, is currently an optional update, which means it won’t be installed automatically. However, as Bleeping Computer reports(opens in new tab), it’s set to be included in an automatic update on the next ‘Patch Tuesday’, which is on July 12. According to Microsoft in a release announcement(opens in new tab) about the patch, this update “Addresses an issue that causes certain games to stop working if they use certain audio technology to play sound effects.” For PC gamers, any issue with Windows 11 that causes their game to crash and become unresponsive is particularly annoying, so it’s good to see Microsoft address a common complaint with this update, so if you have been experiencing crashes, it’s worth installing this update ASAP to see if it fixes it for you.The issue appeared to be primarily affecting people who use the XAudio API to play sounds. Other fixes: The update also addresses an issue where upgrading to Windows 11 fails, as well as some Bluetooth connectivity problems. It also introduces a new feature, but don’t get too excited. Called ‘search highlights’, it “presents notable and interesting moments of what’s special about each day, —like holidays, anniversaries, and other educational moments in time both globally and in your region.” To us, that sounds a bit like yet more distracting icons and notifications on the Taskbar. Hopefully it proves to be more useful than that, but we wouldn’tsuggest rushing to download KB5014668 just for that. As this is an optional update, it won’t be installed automatically. So, to manually install it, open the Start menu and type in “Windows Update” and press return on your keyboard. Click “Check for Updates”, and you should see KB5014668 displayed. Select it, then click “Download now”. Windows will take care of the rest. If you don’t want to mess around with manual updates, then you should automatically get the update on July 12. It may be worth waiting until then to make sure any issues with the update are ironed out (hence why it’s currently optional), but if you’re a PC gamer that can’t play games because of this problem, that may be too long a wait. Also, make sure you check out our Windows 11 problems guide for more help if you’re having trouble with the operating system. link:https://www.techradar.com/news/this-windows-11-update-is-essential-for-pc-gamers

It was a busy Friday night at a barbecue restaurant in the Chinese city of Tangshan. A group of women were having dinner together when one of them was approached by a male diner. Recoiling from his touch, she said "go away". In return, he clubbed her in the head, throwing her to the ground. His friends then joined him, using chairs and bottles to hit the women, some of whom were then dragged outside and kicked in the head. It was just the latest example of violence against women that's outraged the Chinese public - in January, news of a woman found chained in a shack sparked similar distress. Both cases have triggered unprecedented levels of online criticism as well as rare acts of activism. They've also raised questions, particularly among young women, about misogyny and male power. "It's profoundly disrupted how Chinese people view their own society and specifically, the gender norms and stereotypes underpinning it," said Pichamon Yeophantong, a China researcher at the University of New South Wales. Endemic violence Women being assaulted in public by their partners "is disturbingly common online", says Kerry Allen, the BBC's Chinese media monitoring analyst. "I see footage almost every day of either covertly filmed domestic violence or attacks that have been picked up via surveillance footage." A 2013 UN study involving 1,000 men in a county in central China found that more than half admitted to physical or sexual violence against their partner - a similar number also said they would use violence to defend their honour. The UN report attributed gender-based violence to deeply-rooted gender norms in China - a country where domestic violence was only made a criminal offence in 2016. In Chinese society, "toughness, sexual prowess… and use of force in some occasions" remain ideals of masculinity, it said. But observers say there is also a reluctance to intervene in what is still widely seen as a private matter between a couple. Ms Allen said that when living in the country a decade ago she witnessed several attacks in broad daylight where "groups of bystanders [were] simply watching on". That's what happened in Tangshan, although the victim didn't know the attacker. It was the same in Xuzhou too, where a woman had been chained by her neck in a hut outside her home. Her husband had claimed she was locked up because her mental illness made her a threat to others. But a police investigation confirmed suspicion that she had been trafficked as a bride in the 1990s. The footage only surfaced and went viral after a vlogger came across her while touring the village - the fact that it took so long for her to be discovered deeply shocked people. "She is a person, not an object. After having eight children over 20 years, she is only to be found today? None of the government departments involved are innocent," one user wrote on social media platform Weibo. A screenshot of the video shows the woman with a chain around her neck standing in the hut IMAGE SOURCE,DOUYIN Image caption, The video of the woman chained in a hut triggered national outrage in January Demands for change Many Chinese women were surprised with the extent of violence shown in the Tangshan and Xuzhou cases, particularly given China's low crime rates and high levels of surveillance. "Speaking to the younger generation - university students, in particular - I've heard many of them express genuine shock that such violence against women still exists, if not condoned, in modern Chinese society," Dr Yeophantong said. With the bubble burst, many are interrogating gender dynamics for the first time, she added. Calls for social change appear to be most prominent among Chinese millennials who are active on social media and keenly aware of global movements like #MeToo. Some of the most po[CENSORED]r posts on Weibo about the two cases voice concerns about how women are treated in a society that still largely promotes patriarchal Confucian ideas. "We need to... acknowledge that there are still forces in our environment that support, encourage, and drive men to engage in gender-based violence against women," read one essay. The 'punchline queen' who offended Chinese men The #MeToo icon China is trying to silence Many have also expressed discontent over how authorities have responded to these cases, accusing those in power of downplaying the role of gender. In the Tangshan incident, the initial police and media response appeared to focus on the attackers' links to local gangs and their criminal history. One report said the woman had only been approached for "conversation". But on Weibo many users objected, saying it was sexual harassment. Outrage over the chained woman also prompted rare acts of public protest. In separate incidents, two women drove across the country to try to rescue her. Unmasked demonstrators photographed themselves with signs and posted the pictures online. One bookshop set up a display of feminist literature. Is this a turning point? "Women are angry now and speaking up. But I'm not optimistic that this will lead to fundamental changes," said Yaqiu Wang, a China researcher with Human Rights Watch. In the face of immense public pressure, authorities responded to both cases by launching investigations and taskforces. Amid outrage over the condition of the woman in Xuzhou, they promised a trafficking crackdown by stepping up checks on local marriage licences. After the restaurant attack, they increased night patrols in Tangshan, and dismissed a local police chief. Alleged perpetrators in both cases have been arrested. But Guo Jing, a domestic violence case worker in China, said it's typical for authorities to treat gender-based crimes as one-off incidents, solved by catching and punishing the accused. "These incidents are not viewed from the structural point of view; there is no long-term perspective nor institutional solutions," she told BBC Chinese. In March, some party members at the National People's Congress suggested strengthening laws protecting women, and increasing punishments for human trafficking. But these have yet to materialise, and the Chinese Communist Party leadership has not signalled any changes. Meanwhile, censorship has increased. In the wake of the Tangshan attack, Weibo removed accounts that "incited gender confrontation". Older threads about the chained woman - which often included discussions about sexism - have also been wiped. Ms Wang said it's near impossible to sustain grassroots activism given how China has been erasing its civil rights groups in recent years. Observers are concerned that the crackdown has also hit women's rights activism: vocal feminists have been arrested and high-profile MeToo court battles dismissed. The recent case involving tennis player Peng Shuai has also prompted fears that sexual assault accusers are being silenced. "The forces that used to exist that pressured the government to do better on gender issues have been eliminated," Ms Wang said. "All these bode ill for women's rights in China." link:https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-61906803

Intel’s 13th Gen Raptor Lake(opens in new tab) CPU family will continue to support DDR4. According to a leaked list of as yet unreleased Asrock Z790 and H770 motherboards, there will be many 700-series motherboards that retain support for DDR4 memory. Asrock will certainly not be the only manufacturer to offer it. The list comes from Videocardz (via Computerbase.de). The listed Asrock boards include models with a D4 suffix attached. D4 indicates DDR4 support, as it does with current generation 600-series boards. The key takeaway is that Asrock will make several Z790 boards with DDR4 support. I had suspected that a number of lower tier H770 and B760 motherboards would support DDR4, with Z790 exclusively supporting DDR5, but that’s not the case. The following list of Asrock 700-series motherboards is not a complete list of Asrock's boards. B760 is completely missing as well as some others that are likely to follow after the launch, including a Z790 Aqua or Z790 OC Formula. RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU. CLOS Advertisemen Intel has earned itself an advantage over AMD. Its upcoming Zen 4 processors only support DDR5, which is fine from a performance point of view.

DDR4 is still more affordable than DDR5, and for many, you won’t have to buy memory at all, simply by reusing your old kit. Intel will definitely win more than a few buyers based on DDR4 support alon It makes sense that Intel will retain DDR4 support on 700 series motherboards given that 600 series boards and 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs already offer DDR4 support. 13th Gen CPUs are an evolutionary upgrade over 12th Gen models and both will continue to use the LGA1700 socket. So, if you’re coming from an older DDR4 system, or you’re fortunate to be using a lovely low latency DDR4 kit(opens in new tab) (which is still perfectly viable for a gaming system in 2022 and beyond), it’s looking like a sure bet that you’ll be able to get at least a couple of years out of it ye t. e.tte).M e i s.tE..ouple of years out of it yet.

link:https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/6/16/iraqi-shia-leader-muqtada-al-sadr-withdraws-from-political-process Iraqi Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr said he has decided to withdraw from the political process to avoid involvement with “corrupt” politicians, the state news agency reported. According to a report on Wednesday, the leader of the Sadrist Movement in the Iraqi parliament insisted he “will not participate in the next elections if the corrupt participate” during a closed meeting with members of his bloc. KEEP READING list of 3 items list 1 of 3 Iraqi MPs from Muqtada al-Sadr’s bloc resign list 2 of 3 Iraq’s Kurdish female entrepreneurs overcome barriers to succeed list 3 of 3 Iraq: British man gets 15-year jail term for smuggling artefacts end of list He also said that his decision to order his bloc to resign from parliament will not be retracted, in an announcement that came three days after he ordered 73 politicians from his party to quit the assembly. The unprecedented mass withdrawal of the al-Sadr bloc has dramatically altered the political landscape in Iraq, throwing government formation talks into further doubt. It was a huge gamble by al-Sadr, one of the most influential politicians in Iraq with a large street following, putting him outside of parliament for the first time since 2005. Al-Sadr emerged as the winner of the October vote, giving him 73 of parliament’s 329 seats. The vote was a blow to his Iran-backed Shia rivals who lost about two-thirds of their seats and have rejected the results. Since then, the two sides have been locked in a competition for power, even as the country faces growing challenges, including an impending food crisis resulting from severe drought and the war in Ukraine. Al-Sadr has been intent on forming, along with his allies, a majority government that excludes the Iran-backed factions. But he has not been able to corral enough legislators to parliament to get the two-thirds majority needed to elect Iraq’s next president – a necessary step ahead of naming the next prime minister and selecting a cabinet. When he ordered his politicians to resign on Sunday, he called it a “sacrifice” he was making for the good of the country.

E-mail address Sign up By signing up, you agree to our Privacy Policy His cousin and nominee for prime minister, Jaafar al-Sadr, withdrew his candidacy on Monday. The surprise move was an attempt to break a persisting political impasse, eight months after general elections were held. The question has since been whether the political parties will be able to form a government with al-Sadr in the opposition. According to analysts, the Sadrist Movement’s resignations will not spell an end to Iraq’s political crisis. Instead, the coming phase will likely bring more instability to the oil-rich country, with a possible new wave of intense debate, and potential street protests. With the resignation of Sadrist politicians, Iranian-backed groups are now expected to hold the majority in parliament. According to Iraqi laws, if any seat in parliament becomes vacant, the candidate who obtains the second-highest number of votes in their electoral district replaces them. In this case, it would be al-Sadr’s opponents from the so-called Coordination Framework Alliance, a coalition led by Iran-backed Shia parties and their allies. Many of the seats vacated by the Sadrists will therefore be filled by the Shia parties in the CFA, such as former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s State of Law and the Fatah Alliance, the political wing of the Iran-backed Po[CENSORED]r Mobilisation Forces, or Hashd, militia.
