Apple’s upcoming M5 Pro and M5 Max-powered MacBook Pro models may bring a major shift in how the company differentiates its high-end chips. A new leak now suggests the M5 Pro and M5 Max may not be separate chips at all, but different variants of a single design. Here’s what we are hearing.

Apple M5 Pro and M5 Max May Use the Same Chip Architecture

According to earlier reports, Apple plans to adopt a new chip packaging approach for more M5 variants. The M5 Pro, M5 Max, and M5 Ultra are expected to use advanced server-grade SoIC packaging.

Apple is reportedly opting for a 2.5D packaging technology known as SoIC-mH (molding horizontal). This is designed to improve manufacturing yields and thermal efficiency by separating CPU and GPU components.

This separation of CPU and GPU cores would allow Apple to offer more customisable configurations. Users who prioritise graphics performance could choose a lower CPU configuration while opting for higher GPU core counts. A recent update to Apple’s Mac purchasing options on its website is believed to support this theory, suggesting Apple may be preparing for more modular chip configurations.

Single-Chip Approach Could Reduce Costs

YouTuber Vadim Yuryev @VadimYuryev on X has claimed that recent beta code leaks showed no direct reference to an M5 Pro chip. He believes this is because Apple may be using a single M5 Max chip design to power both the M5 Pro and M5 Max models, made possible by the 2.5D chip technology.

This approach could significantly reduce Apple’s SKU complexity and overall design costs.


Under this setup, users who want the highest GPU core count and maximum RAM would still need to opt for the M5 Max configuration, even if the underlying chip design is shared.

Launch Timeline and Future Models

MacBook Pro models featuring the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected to launch sometime this month, according to current reports. Additionally, Apple is also rumoured to be working on a redesigned MacBook Pro with an OLED display, which is expected to arrive later this year.

If these leaks prove accurate, Apple’s M5 lineup could mark a notable shift in chip strategy. The company is planning to offer users more flexibility while streamlining the company’s internal hardware development.

FAQs

Q1. Will the M5 Pro and M5 Max be separate chips?

Answer. Leaks suggest they may share a single-chip design, with Apple using advanced 2.5D SoIC packaging to differentiate configurations rather than separate chips.

Q2. How will Apple’s new chip packaging benefit users?

Answer. The 2.5D SoIC-mH packaging separates CPU and GPU cores, allowing customizable configurations for performance needs while improving yields and thermal efficiency.

Q3. When are the new MacBook Pro models with M5 chips expected to launch?

Answer. Reports indicate the M5 Pro and M5 Max-powered MacBook Pro models could launch this month, with a redesigned OLED MacBook Pro rumoured later this year.

OpenAI has begun testing advertisements in ChatGPT. As per the latest reports, users on the Free and Go plans in the US are now starting to see sponsored content within the chatbot. The move follows the company’s earlier announcement confirming plans to introduce ads on ChatGPT. Here’s everything we know about this development so far.

Ads in ChatGPT

According to OpenAI, the ads will showcase sponsored products and services that are relevant to a user’s ongoing conversation. Users will also have the option to turn off ad personalisation and “clear the data used for ads” at any time.

“Our goal is for ads to support broader access to more powerful ChatGPT features while maintaining the trust people place in ChatGPT for important and personal tasks,OpenAI said in a blog post. “We’re starting with a test to learn, listen and make sure we get the experience right.”

The advertisements are displayed at the bottom of chat conversations and are clearly labelled and visually separated from ChatGPT’s responses. OpenAI has emphasised that ads will not influence or alter the chatbot’s answers.

OpenAI Addresses Privacy Concerns

To address privacy concerns, the company stated that ads will not be shown during conversations related to regulated or sensitive topics including health, mental well-being, or politics.

In addition, users under the age of 18 will not see ads as part of the testing phase. OpenAI also reiterated that it does not share or sell user conversations or personal data with advertisers.

The company wrote, “Ads are designed to respect your privacy. Advertisers do not have access to your chats, chat history, memories, or personal details. Advertisers only receive aggregate information about how their ads perform such as number of views or clicks. During our test, we will not show ads in accounts where the user tells us or we predict that they are under 18, and ads are not eligible to appear near sensitive or regulated topics like health, mental health or politics. We’ll expand responsibly as safeguards mature and we learn from this test.”

Meanwhile, a source familiar with the matter told CNBC that OpenAI expects advertising to make up less than half of its total revenue in the long term. At present, the company also earns revenue by taking a commission on products purchased through ChatGPT’s shopping integration feature.

CNBC further reported that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman informed employees last week that the company plans to roll out “an updated Chat model” later this week.

FAQs

Q1. Who is currently seeing ads in ChatGPT?

Answer. OpenAI has begun testing ads for users on the Free and Go plans in the US. These ads appear at the bottom of chat conversations.

Q2. Will ads affect ChatGPT’s responses or show up in sensitive topics?

Answer. Ads are clearly labelled, separate from chatbot answers, and will not appear in conversations about health, mental wellbeing, or politics.

Q3. How does OpenAI handle privacy with ads?

Answer. Ads are end-to-end privacy-protected. Advertisers don’t access chats or personal data; they only receive aggregate performance metrics like views or clicks.

WhatsApp is finally bringing voice and video calling to its web app, nearly a year after reports first surfaced about the feature being in development. The new functionality is now starting to roll out to select users, marking a major upgrade for WhatsApp Web.

WhatsApp Web App – Voice and Video Calling

A major gap between WhatsApp desktop app and web version is now beginning to close. As highlighted by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has started rolling out native voice and video calling directly on WhatsApp Web. With this update, the platform’s long-standing ‘lite’ tag is effectively being phased out.

At the moment, the feature is limited and not available to everyone. Some users can already make one-to-one voice and video calls through WhatsApp Web, while support for group calls is expected to be added at a later stage.

Back in April last year, it was reported that WhatsApp was working on adding calling support to its web client. While WhatsApp’s desktop apps for Windows and macOS have supported audio and video calls since 2021, the web version, which debuted in 2015, had long missed out on this feature, making it the odd one out in the platform’s ecosystem.

How WhatsApp Web Calling Works?

image

The calling experience on WhatsApp Web closely mirrors what users are already familiar with on the Windows and Mac apps.

Users simply need to open a chat and tap the call icon located at the top right corner of the conversation. From there, they can choose between starting a voice call or a video call.

Calls made via WhatsApp Web also maintain the same privacy standards as other WhatsApp platforms. They are fully end-to-end encrypted using the Signal protocol, ensuring user conversations remain secure.

In addition to calling, WhatsApp Web video calls now support Screen Share functionality, working in the same way as it does on the desktop apps.

Currently, voice and video calling on WhatsApp Web is rolling out only to users enrolled in the WhatsApp Web beta program. A wider rollout to stable WhatsApp Web users is expected to follow in the coming weeks.

FAQs

Q1. Does WhatsApp Web now support voice and video calls?

Answer. WhatsApp has started rolling out native voice and video calling on its web client, bringing it in line with the desktop apps for Windows and macOS.

Q2. Who can access WhatsApp Web calling right now?

Answer. Currently, the feature is limited to users enrolled in the WhatsApp Web beta program. A wider rollout to all users is expected in the coming weeks.

Q3. Are WhatsApp Web calls secure, and what features are included?

Answer. Calls are end-to-end encrypted using the Signal protocol, ensuring privacy. The update also adds Screen Share functionality for video calls, similar to the desktop apps.

PS6 Leak Points to 30GB GDDR7 RAM Upgrade, Higher Console Price Likely

0

Highlights

  • Leaks suggest PS6 could feature 30GB of GDDR7 RAM on a 160-bit bus, delivering up to 640GB/s bandwidth.
  • Due to global memory shortages, the extra RAM could raise the console’s price by about $100.
  • Reports indicate PS6 manufacturing may begin mid-2027 with a wider release in Fall 2027 or early 2028.

PlayStation 6 launch is nowhere close at the moment, but the latest leaks are trying to give us an update on what the next-generation gaming console could offer.  Here’s what we know based on the latest leak.

PS6 Expected Upgrade

According to the latest leak, it appears PS6 could feature 30GB of GDDR7 RAM, which is 6GB more than earlier rumours suggested. The memory is said to run on a 160-bit bus, offering up to 640GB/s of bandwidth. The configuration reportedly includes 10 memory modules of 3GB each mounted on the motherboard.

image image

The latest details come from Kepler L2, a source with a track record of sharing reliable hardware-related information.

If these specifications turn out to be accurate, the PS6 would represent a significant leap over the current PlayStation 5, which ships with 16GB of GDDR6 RAM. Such an upgrade would likely support more demanding games, improved textures, and advanced performance features.

PS6 Prike Hike Expected

However, there is a potential downside. The global tech industry is currently facing a memory shortage, with RAM prices continuing to rise and supply constraints expected to persist for several years. While higher memory capacity would enhance performance, it could also result in a higher retail price for the console.

In response to the leak, one user suggested that a 20GB RAM configuration might be a more practical choice, given the increasing cost of memory. The user argued that moving up to 30GB could add around $100 to the PS6’s MSRP. Kepler L2 pushed back on this view, stating that 20GB would not be sufficient for the next-generation console.

While acknowledging that the additional memory could indeed raise the cost by about $100, he suggested that Sony may have to absorb the higher expense during the first one or two years until memory prices begin to stabilise.

As of now, PS6 is expected to arrive around 2026. However, some reports suggest manufacturing could start in mid-2027, followed by a wider release in Fall 2027 or early 2028.

FAQs

Q1. What memory upgrade is expected in the PS6?

Answer. Leaks suggest the PS6 could feature 30GB of GDDR7 RAM on a 160-bit bus, delivering up to 640GB/s bandwidth, nearly double the PS5’s 16GB GDDR6.

Q2. Will the PS6 be more expensive than the PS5?

Answer. Yes, the higher RAM capacity could raise the console’s price by about $100 due to global memory shortages, though Sony may absorb costs initially.

Q3. When is the PS6 expected to launch?

Highlights

Headphone Zone has announced the Headphone Zone x Pula Unicrom, a co-branded in-ear monitor designed for listeners upgrading from entry-level IEMs.

The model combines a single dynamic driver architecture, lightweight construction, and bundled accessories aimed at everyday portability and compatibility.

The single dynamic driver IEM offers stabilised wood faceplates, modular cable, and premium accessories at Rs. 6,999.

Headphone Zone, India’s home for audiophiles since 2011, today announced the launch of the Headphone Zone X Pula Unicrom, a co-branded in-ear monitor featuring an exclusive blue colourway and a comprehensive accessory package designed for listeners upgrading from entry-level IEMs.

The Unicrom features a 10mm beryllium-coated dynamic driver housed in lightweight resin shells with stabilised maple wood faceplates. Each unit displays unique natural grain patterns, making every pair one of a kind.

“When someone’s ready to move up from their first IEM, this is what I point them to,” said Raghav Somani, Founder and CEO of Headphone Zone. “It’s a proper upgrade without the intimidating price.”

“The truth is Pula is a relatively unknown boutique IEM maker. Most people haven’t heard of them. But that’s never mattered to Headphone Zone. What matters is whether their IEMs are exceptional. And the Unicrom absolutely is. Great value, sound that punches way above its price, better than everything else at this level. This is exactly what Headphone Zone wants from every product that carries their logo.”

The exclusive Headphone Zone variant comes in a custom blue finish that pays homage to the company’s brand colours.

The package includes a modular silver-plated copper cable with both 3.5mm and 4.4mm terminations, six pairs of silicone eartips, and a premium leatherette carry case with magnetic closure.

• Single Dynamic Driver, Perfectly Executed

The Headphone Zone X Pula Unicrom proves that great sound doesn’t need multiple drivers. Its carefully tuned single-driver design delivers coherence, balance, and musicality that often gets lost in more complex configurations.

• 10mm Beryllium-Coated Dynamic Driver

At the heart of the Unicrom is a 10mm beryllium-coated diaphragm. Known for its stiffness and low mass, beryllium enables faster movement and precise control, resulting in clean transients, low distortion, and highly resolved detail.

• Punchy, Balanced Sound Signature

The Unicrom offers impactful bass, rich mids, and smooth treble that never turns fatiguing. Its tuning works effortlessly across genres, making it ideal for long listening sessions and everyday use.

• Stabilised Wood Faceplates in Headphone Zone Blue

Each unit features stabilised maple wood faceplates sealed in resin for durability while preserving natural grain patterns. Finished in an exclusive Headphone Zone blue, no two Unicroms look exactly the same.

• Lightweight, Comfortable Shell Design

The resin shells weigh just 6.6 grams per side, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. Designed for extended listening, the Unicrom remains easy on the ears even after hours of use.

• Silver-Plated Copper Cable with Modular Terminations

The included silver-plated copper cable is light, flexible, and built for clean signal transmission. Its modular design allows users to swap between terminations without compromising on sound quality.

• 3.5mm and 4.4mm Interchangeable Plugs Included

Both 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced plugs are included in the box. Whether paired with a smartphone, dongle DAC, or balanced music player, the Unicrom adapts effortlessly.
