Motorola might finally be working on an affordable foldable phone

Motorola is currently working on its fourth clamshell foldable phone, the Motorola Razr 2023. Some recent rumors suggest the company is also working on launching a “Lite” version of the Razr 2023. In this article, we’ll learn more about the Motorola Razr Lite and all the rumors surrounding it.

Motorola Razr Lite Overview

MySmartPrice, in collaboration with OnLeaks, has leaked some renders of Motorola’s upcoming affordable. According to rumors, the standard Motorola Razr 2023 will be the “Lite” model, while the premium foldable will be known as the “Razr Plus” instead.

Design and Display

As seen from the leaked renders, Razr Lite 2023’s main display will have relatively thin bezels and a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera.

But more importantly, it will have a significantly smaller cover display than Motorola’s past foldables. So it could be useful for a limited number of tasks only, such as displaying time, notifications, or incoming calls. In fact, the Razr Lite 2023 is expected to have a smaller cover display than that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Rest of the specs

The leaked renders also reveal a dual-rear camera setup at the back next to the cover display. Other than this, there are no leaks about the performance, battery, or other aspects of the Razr Lite for now.

Motorola Razr Lite Price and Availability

Motorola will be unveiling the Razr Plus 2023 alongside the Razr Lite 2023 later this year. However, there are no pricing leaks as of now. But since the Razr Lite is expected to be Motorola’s most affordable clamshell phone, it could cost significantly less than Razr 2022‘s asking price of EUR 1,199.

Elon Musk launches an AI company to rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT

Elon Musk launches an AI company to rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT

Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk has launched a new company called “X.AI”; just weeks after signing an open letter proposing to halt AI advancement. Many people have called this move hypocritical but Musk has remained silent on the matter. In this article, we will explore the details of Musk’s latest venture and discuss the potential hypocrisy of his actions.

Elon Musk announces X.AI

An open letter was published on March 22, 2023, by Musk-funded “The Future of Life Institution” which proposed a 6-month halt on “Giant AI experiments”. Among 2000+ signees were many prominent figures including Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple), Emad Mostaque (CEO of Stability AI), and Musk himself. But just weeks after the signing, news has come out about Elon Musk’s X.AI.

The letter in question argued that Large Language Models (LLMs) and chatbots like Chat GPT were getting exceptionally good and companies were rushing to make more and more powerful models without considering much about its consequences. The letter labels these models as “Black Boxes” mostly because even the creators of the model themselves don’t exactly know how they work.

A black box emitting mysterious rays

Hence, the letter argues that even its developers can’t predict how it’s going to impact the future. As such, it demands a halt on research and development of systems more powerful than GPT-4 until we are certain that these LLMs won’t be detrimental to human society. The letter suggests we use this time to implement “robust AI governance systems”, which is an umbrella term for AI safety research, AI regulatory systems, and AI certification bodies.

What’s with the “X”?

Elon Musk’s new company shares its name with his ambitious dream of creating an “Everything” app. Musk even merged Twitter Inc. with X Corp, showing that he is serious about the matter. To start off, sources cite Musk buying 10,000 highly powerful graphics processing units (GPUs) as well as seeking to hire talent for launching an AI to compete with ChatGPT.

Musk has openly expressed his distaste for Open AI’s regulation on GPT which prevents it from generating specific text. He has also complained about its output being too “woke”. It is safe to say Musk is choosing to duke it out with industry leaders like Open AI and DeepMind instead of staying on the fence. But many find it strange for him to do so, especially so quickly after his support for the open letter.

The gray area

The strange part of all this is the timeline. Many would assume Elon Musk founded X.AI after the open letter to halt AI progress went in vain. But the truth is quite the reveal. According to the state fillings mentioned in the Wall Street Journal’s article, Elon Musk founded X.AI on March 9th, which is just days before the open letter published on the 22nd. Even when giving Musk the benefit of the doubt, it’s hard to defend this practice of preaching truce and instigating competition at the same time. This makes it clear that Musk might have had other intentions behind signing the letter than just AI safety.

Elon Musk “X.AI”: Final Words

Elon Musk’s X.AI might just be the beacon of hope for free speech in this world of regulatory “biased” AI. Or it might just be another AI hype marketing move.

Either way, signing an open letter lobbying against further development of large AI experiments while launching an AI company on the side seems like a shady thing to do. Maybe he just wanted the best for humanity or maybe he wanted a buffer for his new company to catch up to existing leaders, we will never know for sure. But what we can say for certain, is that Elon Musk’s stance on AI is hypocritical and you probably shouldn’t take his words at face value.

PlayStation 5 Pro coming soon with improved RayTracing abilities!

PlayStation 5 Pro coming soon with improved RayTracing abilities!

Unlike the Xbox which won’t be getting a mid-cycle update (“Xbox Series S Pro” or “Xbox Series X Pro”), it’s now confirmed that Sony is definitely working on a PlayStation 5 Pro. And there are already a bunch of details (including the launch date) for Sony’s upcoming console.

PlayStation 5 Pro Rumors:

A previous report by KeyToGaming revealed some interesting details about the PlayStation 5 Pro which touched a bit on improvements to the GPU and ray tracing abilities. But a new leak reported by ‘The Verge‘ has opened the floodgates regarding the upcoming PS5 Pro. 

CPU, GPU, and Memory Improvements

PS5 Pro, codenamed ‘Trinity’, will house a much more powerful GPU alongside a boosted mode for the CPU. According to the report, the new console will have an increased memory bandwidth and ship with faster memory as well.

Sony Playstation 5 Standard and Digital model edition
PS5

The new GPU will feature more Work Group Processors (WGP) and is up to ‘45% faster’ than the regular PS5. There’ll be a new “high CPU frequency” mode for the CPU to boost up to 3.85GHz, a 10% increase from the “standard” 3.5 GHz clock. This means more power draw for the CPU which will slightly affect the GPU performance (1% worse).

On the memory end, you get faster RAM with a 28.5% increase in clock speed from 14,000 MT/s to 18,000 MT/s. Alongside that, bandwidth is increased by nearly one-third to 576GB/s (from 448 GB/s) which means games will be able to use more memory for resources (up to 13.7 GB). Some amount of memory  (250Mb) will also be used by Sony’s upscaling technology which we’ll talk about later.

Raytracing all the way!

One of the major focus points for the PS5 Pro is going to be improved ray tracing abilities. For this, Sony is apparently using a “more powerful ray tracing architecture” on the upcoming Pro. Besides that, the upcoming console is also going to have a “custom architecture for machine learning” supporting up to 300TOPS of 8-bit computation. These architectural changes also support Sony’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). 

PSSR is an upscaling technology like DLSS, FSR, and xeSS and will help boost frame rates and improve graphical fidelity. Paired with the improved GPU and bandwidth, PSSR should provide a much better ray-tracing-enabled gaming experience to the current PS5. Sony allegedly stated around 2ms of latency while upscaling from 1080p to 4k and is working to support up to 8k resolution in the future.

Developers are warming up!

The article from Verge states that game developers can already order test kits and optimize for the console. Games sent for certification by developers till the month of August will likely be available upon launch. Developers are also expected to ship a single package/game for both the standard PS5 and PS5 Pro in the future. They can label their games with a “Trinity Enhanced” sticker (aka “PS5 Pro Enhanced”) if they “provide significant enhancements.”

PlayStation 5 Pro Launch Date and Availability

From what we know so far, Sony is planning to launch the PS5 Pro for the Holiday season of 2024. That means the console is likely to hit the markets in November. Looks like the vanilla PS5 or shall we say the ‘PS5 Slim’ is going to be sold alongside the Pro model.

Deal Alert: Ripple Nova Pro gaming laptop is currently at its lowest price

Ripple was the first brand to launch 12th Gen Intel gaming laptops in Nepal with the Nova series. The company is now offering the vanilla Nova for a discounted price. So, let’s get into the full specs, features, official price, and availability of Ripple Nova and Nova Pro (Intel / Ryzen) gaming laptops in Nepal.

Ripple Nova, Nova Pro Overview:

Latest Intel / AMD CPUs

The new Ryzen variant of the Ripple Nova Pro is powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7 6800H processor. It is an octa-core processor with clock speeds ranging from 3.2GHz to 4.7GHz. The processor has 16MB of cache at its helm and supports Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT).

In addition to the new Nova Pro Ryzen, Ripple is continuing the 12th Gen Intel-powered Nova and Nova Pro gaming laptops. The Intel variant of the Ripple Nova Pro packs Core i7-12700H , a 12-core CPU with 6 performance and 8 efficiency cores.

Then we have the regular Ripple Nova with the Core i5-12500H. It is based on the base hybrid architecture as its bigger sibling but has reduced performance cores (4) and threads (8).

RTX 30-series GPUs

As for the graphics performance, all Ripple Nova series gaming laptops rely on NVIDIA’s RTX 30-series gaming laptops. Irrespective of the CPU choice, you get the RTX 3060 GPU on the Ripple Nova Pro, configured at a max TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 140W.

The Ryzen variant even offers a MUX Switch to bypass the integrated graphics to speed up graphical workloads.

Ripple Nova, on the other hand, comes with RTX 3050 Ti configured at up to 90W TGP.

RAM and Storage

Talking about the memory options, the Intel Powered Ripple Nova series laptops start at 8GB Of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. Ripple Nova Pro Ryzen, on the other hand, starts at 16GB RAM. All three laptops come with upgradeable RAM and SSD slots. But it is important to note that the Pro laptops have DDR5 slots that are faster but unfortunately also rarer in the market.

Design and Design

All laptops under the Ripple Nova series have similar designs. They even have the same screen size and weigh the same.

That being said, Ripple Nova Pro (Intel / Ryzen) has a better display than the Pro. It sports a 15.6–inch display with a 165Hz refresh rate and QHD resolution. The 2K panel even has 100% sRGB coverage. Thus, we see it appealing to content creators as well.

On the other hand, Ripple Nova only has a 144Hz FHD display.

Rest of the specs

Likewise, Ripple Nova Pro (Intel / Ryzen) comes with a 62.32Wh battery and ships with a 180W power adapter. On the other hand, the regular Nova comes with a smaller 42.32Wh battery and a 150W adapter. The port selection is exactly the same. Here, you get three Type-A, one Type-C, an HDMI, audio out, and an ethernet jack.

Intel joins hands with ARM for development of 1.8nm mobile chips

Intel has just announced a multi-generation collaboration with Arm, the top IP licensor for mobile chipsets. This multi-generational deal will initially concentrate on manufacturing Arm-based mobile chips before expanding to applications in the automotive, IoT, data center, aerospace, and government sectors.

Intel Foundry x ARM

It’s no secret that the recent years have not been good for Intel with delays on its 10nm and 7nm process nodes—letting its archenemy AMD thrive in the market. So in 2021, Intel announced IDM 2.0 strategy under which the company devised a new Foundry Service decision to manufacture chips for other clients. It even announced to invest USD 20 billion into building two new boundaries for the same.

The new design technology co-optimization (DTCO) between IFS and ARM is part of this strategy. This doesn’t mean Intel will be fabricating chips for ARM. Instead, it opens the door for fabless companies to build chips using ARM’s IP design and Intel’s open foundries.

This agreement also puts Intel directly against TSMC and Samsung Semiconductors, the leading manufacturers of all smartphones chips today. TSMC, in particular, has helped rivals AMD and NVIDIA to get Intel’s market share.

 Intel 18A Process

Intel’s foundry will manufacture Arm chips for smartphones using the 18A process, which Intels hopes will go into mass production in 2024. The 18A process is essentially a 1.8nm technology. The “A” in 18A stands for the metric unit named Angstrom, which measures one-tenth of a nanometer (0.1 nm).

Intel 18A promises two new changes: RibbonFET and PowerVia. The former is the new transistor architecture that will replace the FinFET, which Intel has been using since 2012. It brings ribbon-shaped channels with gate all around that allows for higher performance, greater control, and a compact form factor.

With PowerVia, intel will power transistors in chipsets directly from underneath. This is more efficient than placing the power cables on top and frees up the space on top for signal routing.

Why this deal, though?

Both sides will benefit from this partnership. Intel will benefit from Arm’s expertise in low-power and high-performance chips, while Arm will gain access to Intel’s advanced manufacturing and research capabilities. This joint effort may bring the SoC‘s size to miniature more than ever and increase the efficiency of the next-gen chips.

“Intel’s collaboration with Arm will expand the market opportunity for IFS and open up new options and approaches for any fabless company that wants to access best-in-class CPU IP and the power of an open system foundry with leading-edge process technology”, says the CEO of Intel.

Hence, the partnership between Intel and Arm might bring a whole new level to the field of smartphone chips.
