You don't hear much about chipsets from Nvidia, but a new one was finally announced earlier today at the GPU Technology Conference 2021 - the Nvidia Atlan. This new chipset is expected to be used with autonomous vehicles and other unconfirmed products.

Based on a statement by money.udn.com, it seems that Xiaomi might resort to sourcing chipsets from MediaTek due to the current shortage in Qualcomm chipsets. With that being said, we could see more Xiaomi smartphones equipped with MediaTek chipsets in the future.

About two weeks ago, sources claim that prices for AMD's Radeon RX 6800 GPUs will return to retail levels in 4-8 weeks. But is that really accurate? The inflated prices for the new AMD and Nvidia GPUs are due to shortages of stock, and this situation is unlikely to change anytime soon.

It's important to note that laptops are not like desktop PCs, in that many of the components can't be replaced. So, how do we choose a laptop that suits us? Well, let's take a look at four key tech specs you need to consider before you choose your laptop!

For quite some time, there have been talks that Nvidia was looking to acquire Arm from SoftBank. That has been confirmed recently and it looks like the companies have come to an agreement. Sources say that all three companies have approved of a deal, with the entire turnover process expected to take around 18 months.

At long last, Nvidia has unveiled its latest Ampere GPUs to the world. It has long been hinted that a launch would happen in September and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang did so yesterday, unveiling three new GPUs that will be available soon. The GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 will be launched within September, followed by the RTX 3070 next month.

For PC gaming enthusiasts, early September is going to be exciting since Nvidia has been teasing a big reveal happening then. But the GeForce RTX 3080 that many are expecting may not be the only product launched. Recently, sources have found that Nvidia partner Micron had unwittingly confirmed the existence of the RTX 3090.

Last week, rumours claimed that Nvidia could be launching a high-end Ampere GPU in September 2020. But now the launch date could be closer than expected. Nvidia has officially posted a teaser with the hashtag "UltimateCountDown" and it's believed that this is referring to the GeForce RTX 3080 GPU.

For those of you who are PC gamers, the long wait could be ending next month. Rumours of the new Ampere GPUs from Nvidia have been popping up and it seems that the launch may not be that far off. Reports claim that the company has discontinued production of its Turing GPUs, in anticipation for the launch of the newer cards.

Earlier this month, HONOR has launched a few laptops including the MagicBook 14/15 and the MagicBook Pro 2020 Ryzen Edition. Now, it looks like the Chinese brand will not only be making standard laptops to suit general needs, but they will also be making their steps into the gaming laptop field. Today, sketches of their gaming laptop have been leaked and revealed that the series will be called 'Hunter'.
