Brazilian leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva touched down in the Mozambican capital for a state visit aimed at strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations. The trip follows his attendance at the G20 summit in South Africa and comes after President Daniel Chapo extended an invitation during the recent COP30 climate conference held on Brazilian soil.
During his stay, Lula will participate in discussions with senior officials, witness the execution of partnership accords, tour significant economic ventures, and accept an honorary doctorate from the Pedagogical University. The visit marks a fresh chapter in diplomatic relations between Brazil and Mozambique.
Budget airline Wizz Air will launch service to Rijeka for the first time, linking the Croatian city with Katowice, Lublin, and Gdansk in Poland. Flights begin next year with twice-weekly operations from Katowice and Lublin, while Gdansk will see three weekly departures through the summer season. The carrier has also secured airport slots for a potential Warsaw Chopin route, but has yet to finalize that schedule.
The airline recently announced it would sell three Airbus A321neo jets and drastically reduce its long-haul aircraft order from 47 planes to just 11. Wizz Air is postponing delivery of 88 A321neo aircraft until the early 2030s and converting 36 A321XLR orders to the standard A321neo model. Company executives anticipate annual...
Croatia's Interliber book fair attracted approximately 120,000 attendees across six days at the Zagreb Fair venue, with over 360 exhibitors from 15 nations participating in 200 hours of programming. Slavko Kozina from the Croatian Chamber of Commerce noted that publishers featuring quality new releases experienced sales increases reaching ten percent or higher, while those without fresh offerings matched previous performance levels.

Intel's forthcoming Nova Lake desktop processors will feature the NPU6 neural processing unit capable of 74 AI TOPS in INT8 operations, representing a 1.5-fold improvement over the NPU4 hardware present in Lunar Lake chips, according to leaker jaykihn0. The advancement marks a substantial acceleration beyond the modest progression from NPU4's 48 TOPS to the 50 TOPS expected from Panther Lake's NPU5 implementation.
Nova Lake will incorporate dual graphics architectures and AVX10 instruction set support alongside the enhanced AI accelerator. The company faces mounting pressure to deliver stronger single-threaded performance gains as AMD prepares its Zen 6 architecture with anticipated computational and machine learning advancements...

TSMC's upcoming 2nm manufacturing process may cost substantially less than the $30,000 per wafer estimates circulating among industry observers, according to claims from Weibo tipster Smart Chip Insider. The source suggests multiple chipsets built on the N2 node are advancing toward their anticipated arrival next year, though power and performance gains over the existing 3nm N3P technology remain modest.
Apple's A20 series processors will debut on the foundry's latest lithography ahead of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 variants and MediaTek's Dimensity 9600. TSMC documentation indicates the N2 process delivers roughly 15 percent faster speeds than the earlier N3E variant while cutting energy consumption by as much as 30 percent...
Memory prices have surged to two or three times their manufacturer-suggested retail levels, though several budget options remain available for computer builders facing urgent requirements. V-Color's Manta XSky DDR5 configuration with 32 gigabytes of capacity currently sells at $197 through Newegg after applying promotional discounts, representing the most affordable option for dual-channel kits operating at 6000 megatransfers per second with CL36 latency.
A faster variant running at 6400 megatransfers with tighter CL32 timings costs $219 after code redemption. Standard 16-gigabyte modules have exceeded $100 individually, while complete 32-gigabyte packages typically start around $250, with premium selections surpassing $400. Older DDR4...
Embark Studios' third-person extraction shooter ARC Raiders has approached 7 million sales across all platforms despite controversy over its use of generative AI technology for character voices, according to Alinea Analytics.

Fubon Research analyst Arthur Liao projects that Apple will price its debut foldable handset at $2,499, making the device substantially more expensive than Samsung's competing Galaxy Z Fold 7 at $1,999. The premium reflects elevated manufacturing costs for the display panel, hinge mechanism, and lightweight materials, with the anticipated book-style handset expected to move 5.4 million units during its first year.
The forthcoming iPhone Fold will feature a 7.74-inch main screen with 2,713 x 1,920 resolution alongside a 5.49-inch exterior display, both designed to eliminate visible creasing. Specifications call for Touch ID authentication rather than facial recognition, an A20 Pro processor paired with 12GB memory, Apple's proprietary...
