Google has teased how powerful the upcoming in-house processor, Tensor, will be in AI performance but never revealed anything about the CPU and GPU tech specs. However, thanks to the rumours, we already know that the chip is likely to use Arm Mali-A78 GPU that Samsung uses on its Exynos 2100. Now, the CPU specs have also arrived on the Internet, but it's weird.

Google has announced its in-house processor Tensor alongside the Pixel 6 series earlier. Recently, there's also a report claiming that both products will launch on 13 September, one day before the Apple iPhone 13 series. After the event, the company might move on to make new processors for future tablets and Chromebooks rather than just for smartphones.

Earlier, we've seen two cases involving the explosion of YES Altitude 3 which is the model of the device given out by the government under the Jaringan Prihatin initiative. Sadly, we have yet another case reported on the YES 4G Community unofficial group on Facebook two days ago, and the cause of the explosion is similar to the previous two.

The user from Pahang posted a few pictures showing the aftermath caused by the explosion. Other than that, the caption also mentioned that the phone exploded suddenly while it had only been in use for two months. Once again, we hope that no one is hurt in this incident.

Fans have been demanding the arrival of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6 and many believe the release date should be close considering that GTA 5 is almost eight years old. However, sad news has come claiming that the successor of the popular video game will not hit the shelf until 2025.

In the current circumstances, you would think that people would try to save more money for necessary things such as food. However, a new Canalys report says otherwise as the shipment of smartphones will grow by 12% this year. That's an estimated 1.4 billion units around the world, but why is that so?

Last month, it was reported that Apple will be launching the iPhone 13 on time this year. The company is expected to start the mass production of the A15 chips in May so that it could bring the new iPhones to the market in the usual September. Today, the latest report has arrived claiming that TSMC is already on it.

Yesterday on 15 April 2021, there was a second quarterly Jendela report by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). While it was a rather long report, sources have pointed out that the 4G LTE and internet network strength are still being criticized over the past few months.

Earlier, it was reported that Apple was the first to contract with TSMC for the manufacturer's 3nm process. Now, the story continues as TSMC is expected to put their 3nm process into mass production in 2022. Other than that, the semiconductor supplier is also planning to scale up its 5nm process manufacturing capacity to match the demand from its major customers.

The Apple M1 chip has been claimed to be a rising star in the industry with its impressive performance. However, it looks like it's not all perfect with the new in-house processor as users have reported that they are facing severe SSD (solid-state drive) degradation after using the Macs for just a short period of time.

After HUAWEI, it looks like Xiaomi has also stumbled upon something that doesn't look nice with the U.S. Last week, it was reported that Xiaomi has been added to the country's government’s blacklist, which means that U.S. investors will not be allowed to purchase shares from the Chinese company. However, unlike HUAWEI, Xiaomi will still able to import and use technologies from the U.S. without a need for a license. Following the news, Xiaomi has issued a statement on the matter as follows:
