Samsung might drop its triple-folding phone for around $2,447 in Korea, which sits barely above what Apple wants for its first foldable at $2,399. The company apparently slashed expectations from an earlier $2,719 target to stay competitive when both devices hit shelves.
The TriFold packs a 10-inch interior screen that folds twice using different hinge designs, with one radius tighter than the other, so panels stack without exposing delicate components. Hardware includes a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, three cameras led by a 200-megapixel shooter, and battery cells that combine for either 5,437mAh or 5,600mAh capacity wrapped in titanium.
Early projections suggest Samsung could move 120,000 units during the first year after launch...
Modder xoxor4d just pushed out a public version of their GTA 4 path-tracing mod with an actual installer that makes setup way less painful. The update kills off some wonky alpha blending issues, adds day-night cycles for emissive lights, and even throws in a freecam mode plus teleportation to map markers.
Performance is absolutely brutal, though, since even an RTX 5080 cannot hit 60fps without frame generation enabled. The modder suggests splitting CPU cores between the game and Remix using included batch files, or cranking down path-tracing quality through the Alt-X menu if stuttering gets bad. Tweaking vanilla draw distance and detail settings helps push back CPU bottlenecks.
This whole thing might keep GTA fans busy while they wait...
Colorful just dropped three B850 boards that apparently work with future Zen 6 chips, joining the pile of manufacturers making the same promise. The lineup covers their CVN, Battle-Ax, and MEOW series, with the cat-themed board finally hitting AMD platforms after being Intel-only.
The CVN B850M ARK FROZEN seems like the heavy hitter with its 14-phase power delivery and 80A DrMOS components that can supposedly handle a 9950X3D without breaking a sweat. It pushes DDR5 to 8400MHz and packs three M.2 slots plus WiFi 7 networking for people chasing high refresh rates.
The other two boards use lighter 10-phase designs with 55A power stages, which should handle most chips fine unless you grab something ridiculous like a 9900X3D. Both feature...
AMD might be cooking up a couple more RDNA 4 cards for its Radeon AI PRO R9000 lineup after support pages surfaced for the R9700S and R9600D models. The company only sells one consumer version right now, the R9700, which dropped last month for $1299 with 32GB of memory.
The R9700S could be AMD's first mobile RDNA 4 chip since this generation skipped laptops entirely. If it packs the full Navi 48 core with 32GB like its desktop sibling, it might go head-to-head with the RTX 5090 laptop GPU, which basically reuses cut-down RTX 5080 desktop silicon.
The R9600D is trickier to pin down since AMD never used that D suffix before, but it matches the naming pattern for export-compliant Chinese GPUs. Recent Linux drivers added support for both...
ADLINK just leaked what appears to be the first W890 motherboard built for Intel's upcoming Granite Rapids workstation Xeon processors, and this thing is absolutely massive. The ISB-W890 board rocks a CEB form factor and can handle chips with up to 86 cores, 1TB of DDR5 memory running at 6400MT/s, and even supports overclocking on select X-series chips.
The expansion setup is wild, with two different configs depending on your chip tier. Expert stream processors unlock 128 PCIe lanes across seven slots, while mainstream versions get 80 lanes. Storage options are pretty stacked with four MCIO x8 connectors, dual M.2 slots, two SlimSAS ports, and eight SATA III connections.
Intel seems to be gunning for a CES 2026 launch based on all the...
Sycom just dropped a liquid-cooled RTX 5090 that pairs a massive 360mm radiator with three Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 PWM fans and Lynk+ tech. The card pushes 32GB of GDDR7 memory across a 512-bit bus, clocks up to 2452 MHz with factory overclocking, and handles the full 575W power draw through a single 16-pin connector.
Testing shows the hybrid setup maxes out around 62 degrees Celsius under full load while staying quieter than reference models at 40.8 dBa. The dual-slot design features black and silver styling with visible tubing running to an Asetek-based pump block. You can only grab this beast through Sycom prebuilt systems like their Lepton Hydro or G-Master Hydro lineups, but they haven't announced pricing yet.
Tanzania logged over 152,000 visitors in just the first three weeks of the month, and Tourism Minister Ashatu Kijaji showed up at Ngorongoro Conservation Area to chat with international guests passing through the crater gate. The minister told travelers that security across the country's attractions is solid, and she pushed them to keep checking out the wildlife sites while reassuring everyone that operations are running smoothly.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area sits in the northern part of the country and handles protection for the massive volcanic crater, plus the Big Five animals like elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos. The government-run authority manages the whole zone while trying to turn it into the planet's top...
Tanzania set up the board for its investment authority and told them to pull in $15 billion while registering 1,500 projects as part of the push to make the business climate way less annoying. Planning Minister Kitila Mkumbo said the government is wrapping up the second phase of its strategy to eliminate roadblocks for investors, and they want to open TISEZA offices in every region by 2028 while creating a special center for young entrepreneurs.
The authority plans to reserve dedicated zones for youth-led ventures that actually create jobs, and Director General Gilead Teri promised to innovate service delivery across the board. Investors who showed up for the ceremony gave props to the government for launching the service providers...
Tanzania wants four out of every five people running on clean energy by 2034, and Deputy Minister Festo Dugange dropped that target while visiting the environmental management council for the first time. The government is betting the switch will cut down air pollution and living costs while protecting nature through better enforcement of environmental laws tied to the Vision 2050 development plan.
Dugange connected cleaner surroundings to better health outcomes and fewer chronic diseases, while NEMC Board Chair Mwanasha Tumbo and Director General Immaculate Sware Semesi both promised to execute the directives properly.
