Mighty CPU rival to Intel and AMD set to shake up the market

The announcement of Amazon’s Graviton2 may well have made AMD and Intel a little nervous - Amazon is, after all, a customer of both. Now, the two companies have even greater reason to be worried. Parisian company SiPearl recently announced it had signed a major agreement with semiconductor giant ARM. The French firm will use ARM IP (Zeus Neoverse CPU) to develop a new set of CPUs: Rhea, Chronos and another unnamed model. The company is backed by the European Commission as part of the European Processor Initiative (EPI) project, which aims to design a high performance, low power microprocessor for Europe’s first exascale supercomputer .

Motorola Edge Plus vs Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus vs iPhone 11 Pro Max

Image
While rumors led us to expect a proper flagship from Motorola, we didn’t anticipate that the Motorola Edge Plus would be so full-featured and impressive. The Motorola Edge Plus is Moto’s first flagship smartphone in nearly half a decade, and with that it deserves a proper comparison to top-tier handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus and iPhone 11 Pro Max . We set out to compare the  Motorola Edge Plus vs Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus vs iPhone Pro Max to see how the biggest phones of 2020 size up against each other. There are a few obvious differences: the Edge Plus and the S20 Plus both run Android, have waterfall display edges, and are 5G phones , whereas the iPhone 11 Pro Max runs iOS, has a flat display, and doesn’t support 5G.  The other differences are more granular, from shape, display, and cameras, to battery recharging capabilities. We’ll go through them all below, divvied up by section. Just to be clear: there are other phones that could compare favorably to the ...

Apple Watch 5th anniversary: what we got right and – yes – what we got wrong

Image
Time passes quickly, and that clichéd saying even applies to our state-of-the-art Apple Watch 5 , which is accurate up to 50 milliseconds of the global time standard, according to Apple. It’s the 5th anniversary of the original Apple Watch, which launched on Friday, April 24, 2015 to much hype, long lines, and limited quantities. I was there to interview the first people in line (in Los Angeles) and rush home to write an in-depth Apple Watch review . We nailed it when we called this iPhone-connected wrist hugger “Apple’s most personal gadget” in a review, jointly written by myself and TechRadar's Global Editor-in-Chief Gareth Beavis. We also forecasted more daring designs to come eventually, including a more stunning circular sequel to compete with Motorola’s then-critically acclaimed Moto 360 . That still hasn't happened. In light of the Apple Watch turning five, we’ve gone back through our coverage to analyze what we got right, and what we got wrong about the first Apple W...
