World’s Most Powerful GPU, Nvidia TITAN RTX Announced
Nvidia is an American technology company, renowned for their GPUs. The company designs graphics processing units for both gaming and professional markets. GPUs unlike CPUs are mainly used to process image/video files and execute rendering tasks at a rapid pace. Architecturally, the CPU is composed of just a few cores with lots of cache memory that can handle a few software threads at a time. In contrast, a GPU is composed of hundreds of cores that can handle thousands of threads simultaneously. Recently, Nvidia has launched their TITAN RTX graphic card which the company claims is world’s most powerful GPU.

The Mighty TITAN

The Nvidia TITAN RTX has 576 multi-precision Turing Tensor Cores which provide up to 130 teraflops of deep learning performance. It has 72 Turing RT Cores which can deliver up to 11 GigaRays per second of real-time ray-tracing performance. The TITAN RTX has 24 GB of GDDR6 RAM, which according to Nvidia is up to two times faster than previous TITAN GPUs. This high memory storage can be used to fit larger data sets and processing instructions. It has a base clock frequency of 1350 MHz and a boost clock frequency of up to 1770 MHz.

The new TITAN RTX allows enough power to render 8K video in real time. Additionally, the company has showcased the NVIDIA NVLink that offers 100 GB/s transfer speeds which can be used to pair two RTX GPU’s if the need arises. Out of the box, the GPU also supports Windows 7 (64-bit), Windows 10 (64-bit), and Linux 64-bit. To operate, it requires 650 watts of power supply and has a thermal threshold of 89-degree Celsius.

Google To Introduce eSIM To More Countries Including India

Google, in it’s blog, has given some great news for Pixel owners around the world. They will soon introduce the eSIM feature to phones in India. A few other countries will receive it as well. eSIM cards are electronic SIM cards that negate the need to have physical SIM cards as well as the need to have any SIM card slots. Apple introduced the eSIM in their latest range of iPhones and now other manufacturers are slowly catching on. With eSIM, Google says it hopes to bring their users instant connectivity across more carrier networks. Pixel 2 was the first major smartphone to introduce the eSIM feature to their smartphones.

eSIM Availability

If you’re in the U.S. and want a phone that has eSIM, you can do so through the Google Fi App. You can alternatively use the Google Store app as well. If you’re in Germany, you can purchase the Pixel 3 with an eSIM functionality from Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone soon. According to Google, Sprint in the U.S., EE in the UK, Airtel and Reliance Jio in India, and Truphone and Gigsky in various countries will also roll out eSIM support for Pixel 3 very soon.

Google is also building a program that allows Android device makers to build eSIM-capable smartphones. eSIM, in-display cameras and foldable smartphones are the three features that most smartphone manufacturers are focussing on at the moment. The eSIM card is a great feature and the reason is twofold. One, is that it gets rid of the hassle of inserting and ejecting SIM cards. One also needs to have a SIM ejector tool handy at all times. The second reason is that the eSIM feature can now replace the SIM tray, which creates more space in smartphones for manufacturers to use to include other features like more camera lenses or bigger batteries.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Renders Reveal Dual Front Cameras In Cutout

Samsung is the world’s number one smartphone manufacturer, but the company has been losing its market share recently. This is due to the rise of companies like OnePlus, Huawei and Xioami. Before the inception of Chinese OEM’s, Samsung was the only company that single-handedly led the Android bandwagon against Apple’s iPhones.

In recent years, these new companies have become a nuisance for Samsung. As not only do these companies sell their devices at a much cheaper price than Samsung, they are also developing a lot of the latest in-house technologies. In contrast, Samsung is not only a smartphone manufacturer, but also the leading supplier of display technologies. The company is reported to have used a lot of its latest display technologies for its upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S10. And according to the latest leak, the Galaxy S10 Plus will have an oval cutout for the dual front cameras in the display.

Galaxy S10 Plus Specifications

The renders of the upcoming Galaxy S10 Plus have been posted on Twitter by leakers Ben Geskin and OnLeaks. The leak suggests that the smartphone has a 6.44 inch Super AMOLED QHD+ display. Most noticeably, the display has edge-to-edge bezels which taper towards the side and an oval-shaped cutout which houses the dual front-facing cameras. Additionally, the smartphone also has triple rear cameras along with an LED flash. The top of the device is occupied by the sim tray and microphone hole while the bottom has the 3.5 mm jack, speaker grill, USB connector, and the primary microphone.

The bottom and top of the Galaxy S10 Plus also have antenna cutouts. The leak also claims that the smartphone has an in-display fingerprint sensor and the device also supports face unlock. The back of the device has a silver and blue colored gradient panel which looks really attractive.
