MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC May Launch on November 8, Said to Perform Better than Apple A16 Bionic SoC

MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC

MediaTek supposedly is soon coming up with a new flagship MediaTek Dimensity chipset that multiple internet reports suggest that the company will be pairing with an Immortalis-G715 GPU. The MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC GFXBench graphics benchmark test results are reportedly making rounds all over the internet signalling a sooner launch. As per a popular social media tipster, “the Dimensity 9200 SoC’s GPU performance outshines the Apple A16 Bionic chip featured in the latest iPhone 14 series.” Amongst various other media reports, one suggests MediaTek’s upcoming chipset surely surpasses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC in the AnTuTu benchmark test.

MediaTek too has confirmed the reports of the launch of its next flagship chipset. The company confirmed the chipset name to be the Dimensity 9200 SoC. As per company close sources, the new chipset will be revealed on November 8 at 2:30pm CST or 12pm IST. However, The company is yet to make public any other details about the event for the launch of the chipset.

While revealing the details of the chipset tests, a popular tech blogger wrote, “In related news, tipster Ice Universe (Twitter: @UniverseIce) has shared the alleged GFXBench test results of the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC. Supposedly being paired with an Immortalis-G715 GPU, this upcoming flagship chipset is said to have achieved 228fps in the ES 3.1 test. Meanwhile, it purportedly reached 328fps in the ES 3.0 test.”

As per the online claims by this popular tipster, Dimensity 9200 SoC’s GFXBench test performance is at par with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. However, it is the GPU department where the chipset outperforms the Apple A16 Bionic chip.

MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC

The same blogger also mentioned a recent report that reveals other details about the Dimensity 9200 SoC. It says, “the Dimensity 9200 SoC could feature a combination of Cortex-X3 and Cortex-A715 cores, paired with an Immortalis-G715 GPU. This MediaTek chipset reportedly offers better imaging performance. Moreover, it is also claimed that the chipset outperforms the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC in the AnTuTu benchmark test.”

If multiple rumours can be paid any heed then it is widely speculated that the Vivo X90 series can become one of the first few smartphones to be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC, this next-generation chipset from MediaTek.

However, despite the AnTuTu test showing certain results, industry experts have its apprehensions when it comes to MediaTek chipsets outperforming Qualcomm. This is primarily because of how things have been in the past when test results show one thing on paper but in practical use, the results differ.

Previously a couple of years ago, the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor could not top the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor. Based on this past experience, many tech bloggers have expressed their scepticism regarding the practical usage of MediaTek’s chipset over Snapdragon. More details on this, however, can only be expected once the product is launched. Most tech experts have not really written off either of the chipsets yet and users can anticipate more updates as soon as the chipsets reach the consumer’s hands.

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” Breaks Records With $800 Million Opening Weekend

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had the best opening weekend in series history this past weekend, continuing Activision’s decade-long supremacy in the video game industry. The long-awaited video game finally came out on Friday, October 28, and has already made more than $800 million in sales throughout the globe in only three days. The sales of Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 video game have broken all previous records and the company disclosed that the game made around $800 million in sales during its first weekend of release.

In comparison, the company’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 game sold a total of $775 million in its first five days of release in 2011. In addition to surpassing the success of its previous release, the game publisher is also evaluating the success of the game in relation to the success of other types of entertainment. Activision stated that the highest-grossing films of 2022, such as “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” had sold $250 million and $450 million, respectively putting its computer game on a higher tier than the most successful films of the year. This should be a breeze for Modern Warfare 2 at the end of the first week. The only game that has ever surpassed the sales is Grand Theft Auto 5, which made $1 billion in only three days.

The Chief Executive Officer of Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick, stated in a press statement, “Thank you to our talented team that has created magic through extraordinary artistry and technology, and to the global community of players who find joy and connection through Call of Duty. This milestone belongs to them.”

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

“Thank you, Call of Duty players, for making Modern Warfare II’s launch one for the record books as well as the highest grossing entertainment opening of the year,” Johanna Faries, the general manager of Call of Duty, said in a release. “It is our honor and privilege to deliver such a historic launch weekend for the best fans in the world. As amazing as this opening has been, Call of Duty has much more in store. An unprecedented level of support for the Modern Warfare universe is on the horizon and Warzone 2.0’s launch is right around the corner. It’s an incredible time for the franchise.”

Following the success of Activision’s previous release, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Warzone included a variety of tie-ins with popular media properties including Attack on Titan, the Terminator films, Umbrella Academy and Godzilla. During a phone interview with Boardroom, the head of marketing for Call of Duty, Tyler Bahl, stated that “we are always looking at the cultural timeline and we do a lot of research. It all comes down to what is going to make the most amazing gaming experience.”

Since the game has just been available for purchase for the past three days, there have been no hints or teasers regarding upcoming partnerships with Call of Duty games. After the lackluster performance of last year’s entry, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Activision Blizzard may breathe a sigh of relief at this year’s victory. The poor sales of the title were blamed for the company’s overall slump at the beginning of the year.

Galaxy Watch 5 Series – Review

Galaxy Watch 5 Series

The Android based smartwatch market is quite large with many brands entering the segment every other day. We have big ticket brands offering high end options along with brands like Oppo and OnePlus who have completely shattered the market segment with their range of entry level devices. Amongst all, however, one brand stands tall with its premium high end devices at competitive prices. It is Samsung. The Korean consumer electronics manufacturer has been coming up with a fascinating range of wearables to attract consumers from every market segment.

Samsung’s recent launch in the segment is Galaxy Watch 5 Series which has successfully captured the market in a frenzy upon release. The grand welcome of the Watch 5 series is on the expected lines after the success of the Galaxy Watch 4 series.

If you kept any tabs on last year’s Galaxy Watch 4 series, you would know the series of watches received a massive response from users all across the world. The credit for Galaxy Watch 4 series becoming a user favourite was mostly given to the fact that Samsung decided to ditch its Tizen OS for Google’s Wear OS. Hence, it was widely speculated that the brand will not bring any drastic change or any major upgrades in the Galaxy Watch 5 series considering they got just about every right with the previous edition. Well, that’s exactly what has happened. The Galaxy Watch 5 Series can be viewed as a prime example of what tiny upgrades look like. However, it would be not entirely correct to say that Samsung hasn’t tried its best to iron out issues that the previous models of wearable had.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is available in two sizes, 40 mm and 44 mm while. The company also launched Galaxy Watch 5 Pro alongside the Watch 5 which is available in a single 45 mm size.

A short review of the watch would be that it is demure, stylish, and smart. The third-party app support along with impressive fitness features makes this watch a perfect pick. However, the Galaxy Watch 5 does carry flaws. The main drawback here is the short battery life which offers only one-day support. So, in case you do not like the idea of nightly charging, we suggest you look at the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro model – or something that is less smart.

Built for Android smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 price in India is Rs. 27,999 in the current market. It promises flagship-grade performance and features. With Samsung’s One UI Watch 4.5 operating system based on Google’s Wear OS 3.5, is this one of the best smartwatches for any Android smartphone user that is available in the market right now? Before we get into other details and the major improvements, let’s understand each aspect of Galaxy Watch 5 specifications in detail.

What’s Good in Galaxy Watch 5?

Galaxy Watch 5 Series

We all have been waiting for Samsung and Google’s partnership for a long time now. Although series 4 had it, the Watch 5 series is where it really shines. The lack of sophisticated software was a major flaw of Galaxy Smartwatches launched in the past and the brand has managed to leave that criticism behind with the device. All the downvotes for not having easy access to Google apps change with this product. Getting the Play Store and not the Galaxy Store undoubtedly makes a world of a difference.

The Galaxy Watch 5 can look to some people exactly like the model that Samsung releases before. However, this one weighs and feels totally different. The 44 mm model of Galaxy 5 weighs 33.5g and the smaller 40 mm model weighs just 28.7g. Moreover, it has the same Exynos W920 processor, 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. Another noticeable change is the flattened bottom of the Watch 5 dial, which is designed in that way to make it extra comfortable for those who wear the watch for longer periods. A flattened bottom also improves contact between the wrist and the health sensors better, which automatically gives more reliable readings.

As for the design, it has a solid build with supporting sleek looks that makes the smartwatch the perfect fit for all occasion including a run and an informal evening outing. The size too is universally perfect and neither too bulky nor too small.

Another upgrade that is worth mentioning is Samsung finally taking the leap to fast charging for its smartwatches. The brand claims that the device can be charged from zero to 45 per cent in just 30 minutes. A complete charge, on the other hand, would take around 85 minutes.

What’s Lacking in Galaxy Watch 5 Series?

Galaxy Watch 5 Series

Not much can be pointed out, however, one thing that is really disturbing is some of the high end features of Galaxy Watch 5 are only available for Galaxy smartphone users. The features to monitor blood pressure or ECG would be of no use to someone who doesn’t use a Galaxy smartwatch. It is quite a huge loophole, if you’re a non-Galaxy Android smartphone user, to be honest.

The second most concerning thing could be something that already has an improvement. The Galaxy Watch 5 battery is not up to the mark and anyone planning on using the device for long hours would face trouble. The battery in all probability can be called only decent, which should not be the case with smart wearables.

A rather lesser important issue is that the Galaxy Watch 5 is incompatible with an Apple iOS smartphone. So, iPhone users would not feel welcome.

Amazon Prime Music Increases Song Catalogue from 2 Million to 100 Million, Adds New Podcasts

Amazon Prime Music

It appears Amazon Prime Music is on an expansion spree. The latest announcement from the music streaming service platform at least indicates this for the US audience, if not for any other region. Amazon is increasing its song catalogue for Prime subscribers from 2 to 100 million in the US. The company also revealed its plan of making more podcasts and music available for free for its members. According to the e-commerce giant, the Prime Members up until now had limited access to 2 million songs but with the current expansion, members will get a library of 100 million songs.

Amazon made the announcement in a blog post that also mentioned, “Prime members can discover more new music and podcasts based on their likes; shuffle play any artist, album, or playlist in the catalogue; stream a collection of All-Access playlists tailored to personalized listening preferences on demand and download them for offline listening.”

Prime is Amazon’s fast-shipping and media service special membership plan. It has more than 200 million members across the world. This number includes subscribers in India as well. The Prime service costs $14.99 (which is Rs. 1,200) per month and $139 (which is Rs. 11,500) for the annual plan in the US. In India, however, the company provides monthly, three months and yearly plans to cater to different sections of people. The three Amazon Prime memberships are priced at Rs. 179 a month, Rs. 459 every three months, and Rs. 1,499 for the annual plan in India.

Amazon Prime Membership in India provides access to Prime Music services, which in India has no restrictions or limits like that in the US. Prime members in India can enjoy unlimited access to Prime Music. It has been like this since the launch of the music streaming services.  So, the streaming service basically offers more songs in India than its US counterpart. After the recent announcement, however, things will change and the number of songs available for Prime Members in both regions will be the same.

Amazon Prime Music

Interestingly, a similar announcement was also made by Apple last month regarding its music streaming service, Apple Music. Apple said that Apple Music had more than 100 million tracks available for subscribers to stream. Apple too is steadily working towards growing its streaming Music catalogue to emerge as a strong contender in the music streaming industry. The company also recently added multiple features and improvements including lossless audio streaming as well as Dolby Atmos support. The Apple Music app is now also available on various platforms such as iOS and Android.

According to the Cupertino company, “around 20,000 new tracks are being added to Apple Music’s catalogue every day, as the streaming service now has considerably more tracks than rival Spotify.”

In India, Apple Music membership plans start at Rs. 49 per month. Users can pay Rs. 49 per month for the voice plan or else Rs. 99 per month for an individual plan. The Rs 99 per month plan gives allows access to the app on multiple devices.

On the other hand, the popular music streaming service Spotify claims to have more than 80 million songs in its catalogue. As for plans, it seems Spotify offers many affordable options with plans starting at as low as Rs. 7 per day.

Top ten differences between Game of thrones books and Series

0
Game of thrones books and Series

Game of Thrones has proven itself as one of the most popular TV shows of all time. The series captured the audience’s attention with the perfect storyline, star cast, graphics, and storytelling. Except for the last session, the show as a whole received a lot of love and support from both the fan and critics.

While the exquisite plots and graphics do well in making the audiences want more and more from the show, it’s the characters and their storylines that majorly held the attention of the audiences. Each character featured in the show evokes strong emotions in the audience, whether it is feelings of passionate love or ferocious hatred. While there are many commonalities between the TV adaptations of the characters from A Song of Ice and Fire and their book counterparts, there are also many prominent differences.

Here we have listed the top ten differences between Game of thrones books and Series:

SHAE

Game of thrones books and Series

The book depiction of Shae, Tyrion’s lover who calls him “My Lion,” differs slightly from the TV portrayal performed by Sibel Kekelli. According to the television series, Shae is genuinely in love with Tyrion, which is why she reacts so strongly to his rejection, which he only does to keep her safe.

While in the books, she has no affection for Tyrion and is only using him for his money and status. This is the major reason why Shae’s betrayal of Tyrion at his Trial was not at all shocking to series readers.

LITTLE FINGER

Game of thrones books and Series

In the books, Little Finger is considered a very trustworthy character, however, in the Game of Thrones TV series, the portrayal of Petyr Baelish seems completely contradictory to the book version of its persona. In the show, the Little Finger is shown as a rather cunning and untrustworthy character. Little Finger is one of the characters that have undergone the most changes between the novel and the TV, according to George RR Martin.

Baelish is arguably the most horrifying character in ASOIAF because of how proficient he is at convincing everyone he meets that he is very “weak” and “kind” Despite Tyrion Lannister’s claim in Game of Thrones that “only an idiot would trust Little Finger,” Little Finger can win the faith of everyone else because to his ability to don this beneficent mask.

JON SNOW

JON SNOW

Kit Harington was 25 when Game of Thrones began filming, but Jon Snow is just 16 or 17 in the literature. He is frequently referred to as “beautiful” in the show, yet it is never referenced in the books.

His character in the HBO series is very action-oriented and occasionally fails to consider the consequences of his choices, although in the books he is considerably more deliberate in his choices. He is a warg or a person who can see through an animal’s eyes, and he is also able to see predictions in his dreams.

SANSA STARK

Game of thrones books and Series

Sansa begins the series as a 13-year-old, yet in the books, she is only 11 years old. The “small bird” is smarter and more knowledgeable about Westeros’ past in George RR Martin’s books than in the HBO series. In the book, she is portrayed as a very talented character who can play multiple instruments.

RAMSAY BOLTON

Game of thrones books and Series

While Ramsay is portrayed to be a real jerk in the television show, he is far worse in the books! He kills all of the Bolton sons who pose a threat to him, and he is especially brutal to Theon. He even makes his wife Jane (who isn’t in the episode) have *hem hem* intercourse with his dogs. Ramsay looks very attractive in Game of Thrones, yet in the books, he is far less eye-catching. According to the novels, he has broad shoulders and large bones, and his fleshiness suggests that he may become obese in the future. Ramsay has pink and blotchy skin, a big nose, and long, dark, and dry hair.”

JAIME LANNISTER

Game of thrones books and Series

Unlike in the TV series, when Jaime Lannister “died fighting to defend his Queen” and remained in love with Cersei until the very end, this is not so true in the novels. Although it’s thought he was first madly in love with his sister when he found out she was “deceitful,” jealousy and anger gradually took control over him. While Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who played Jaime, was 31 when ASOIAF first began filming, he was 41 at the time.

DAENERYS TARGARYEN

DAENERYS TARGARYEN

Daenerys should be approximately 17 or 18 when the television series begins, but she’s only 13 in the first book! Known as the most beautiful woman in the world, some believe Queen Dany has violet eyes, is “too skinny,” in Varys’ opinion, and repeatedly burns herself, causing her to lose her hair. No “Mad Queen” episodes can be found in the novels because the Dragon Queen in ASOIAF is a total humanitarian.

In contrast to the TV program, her relationship with Drogo is much more consensual on their wedding night in the books. In the episode, she essentially ignores Daario’s courtship since she has a major old-school crush on him.

BRIENNE OF TARTH

Game of thrones books and Series

Brienne of Tarth begins the narrative in the book when she is just 18 years old. She is portrayed on the show by Gwendoline Christie, who was 32 when she made her debut in Game of Thrones. She is featured in the novels as being exceedingly unattractive with numerous freckles, puffy lips, and a bitten cheek. Her large, childlike blue eyes are thought to be her only beautiful feature.

TYRION LANNISTER

TYRION LANNISTER

Throughout HBO’s Game of Thrones, Tyrion Lannister has a reputation for having a good heart and a plethora of funny quips to tell, even in the most troubled times. Although he is arguably the most morally upright character on the program, he isn’t quite as endearing in the books. The “half-man” in the novels will kill people without feeling too bad about it. He kills a guy, cuts up his body, and serves it to people as a stew while claiming that his goal is to rape and kill his sister, Cersei.

Visually, Peter Dinklage, the actor who plays him on Game of Thrones, is pretty attractive. However, he appears grotesque and even demonic in the book. In the books, he is significantly shorter, loses his nose in The Battle of Blackwater, has one black eye and one green eye, and has blonde Targaryen hair and a black beard.

CATELYN STARK

Game of thrones books and Series

The much-loved Stark Mother, played by the exceptional actress Michelle Fairley in the HBO series, has a far grimmer conclusion than she did in the program. Although it’s hard to imagine things could go any worse than what happened in The Red Wedding, George RR Martin is always prepared to deliver the goriest twist of fate. In the books, Catelyn’s story does not finish with The Red Wedding. Beric Dondarrion revives her body, bringing her back into existence as a living corpse.

She would do anything to get back at everyone who wronged her at The Red Wedding because all she wants is to seek vengeance for her son (and even people who had nothing to do with it). She is no longer the sweet woman who was formerly well-known to everyone.

Conclusion

The portrayal of characters in the HBO GOT series is at times quite distinctive from the original personalities in the fantasy novel series. Nevertheless, the characters succeed in catching the audience’s attention with utmost perfection. Despite the differences from their original role models the characters portrayed in the TV series are quite vibrant and full of life.
