European Union Officially Recognizes MySejahtera Digital Certificate

Some great news: The EU 🇪🇺 has accepted Malaysia 🇲🇾 @officialmosti request for establishing the equivalence between EU’s Digital Covid Certificate and Malaysia’s MySejahtera. A booster for business and tourism! @KKMPutrajaya @Khairykj @MalaysiaMFA https://t.co/WFwa7wjSVQ pic.twitter.com/kj78PxZ0pZ

As part of their Digital COVID Certificate trust network, the European Union (EU) now officially recognizes the MySejahtera digital certificate of vaccination. The information stems from EU ambassador to Malaysia, Michalis Rokas, on Twitter, and is said to be effective from 4th April 2022 onwards.
With this, Malaysia will be connected to the EU Digital COVID certificate trust framework established by Regulation (EU) 2021/953. Timing for it is great since Malaysia entered the endemic phase on 1st April 2022, opening borders for local and foreign travellers. It’s also worth noting that Apple now recognizes the QR code for the MySejahtera digital certificate via Apple Health and Apple Wallet since iOS 15.4.
Michalis Rokas also mentioned on Twitter that the move is a decision made as a “booster for business and tourism:. Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin responded with a simple statement: “Reconnecting Malaysia and the EU.”

Pokdepinion: As more and more countries / regions begin to accept the digital certificate, it would make travelling a lot easier moving forward, regardless if it’s for work or leisure.

Wi-Fi 7 is Coming with Ultra Fast Speeds Up To 30Gbps

Wi-Fi 6 is clearly in its early days still with many consumers still yet to have adopted the new protocol. Given how rapidly technology is evolving however, it’s no surprise that Wi-Fi 7 is already being worked on.
Wi-Fi 7 is apparently capable of theoretical maximum transmission rates of 30Gbps. In comparison, Wi-Fi 6 has a maximum rate of 9.6Gbps, which is three times slower. The current mainstream Wi-Fi 5 protocol is about 40% slower than Wi-Fi 6. However, the latter has the added benefit of being more energy-efficient.

Furthermore, Wi-Fi 6 is capable of connecting to more devices at the same time, and it has support for the latest WP3 security protocol which is difficult for hackers to crack. Essentially, it’s the closest to perfection when it comes to Wi-Fi standards.
Wi-Fi 7 Features and Noteworthy Highlights

That doesn’t mean that there’s no point to having Wi-Fi 7 however as any room for improvement is a good addition. It’s expected to introduce a new CMU-MIMO technology, supports up to 16 data streams (double from Wi-Fi 6), 8 lanes to 16 lanes, proper interstellar highway, and more. Moreover, it’s expected to support the 6GHz frequency band on top of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, with all three working simultaneously.
With 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 using the 1024-QAM signal modulation method, Wi-Fi 7 with the 802.11be standard will be using the superior 4096-QAM signal modulation method. Givven how simple and rough it is to expand data transmission capacity, it’s no surprise that it can reach maximum speeds of 30Gbps.

Pokdepinion: It’s sad for me to write this on 30Mbps 802.11ac Wi-Fi. At the same time, I would still like to adopt the new standard even if my internet speed isn’t even close to fully utilizing it. It’s more than just speeds that you need to care about, it’s also about stability.

300 Google Chrome Extensions Exposed For Injecting Ads In Google Search Results

For those of you who are using Google Chrome, you need to be extra careful. Recently, 300 Chrome extensions have been exposed for injecting ads in Google search results, resulting in unwanted, intrusive ads.
300 Google Chrome Extensions Exposed for Injecting Ads

As many of you may know by now, there are ads that will be shown to you when you search things on Google, usually looking like the first few search results. With any of these Chrome extensions, you would have ads that are completely unrelated to what you’re searching for. The exact number of Google Chrome extensions that have been exposed is 295. As for how many people are said to be affected, it is said to be around 80 million users.
It was first discovered by AdGuard, an adblock company that specializes in protecting users from malware and malicious ads. Apparently, the Google Chrome extensions are similar in nature as they tend to offer wallpapers when you open a new browser tab. However, there are some that offer weather forecasts and screenshot capture tools instead. Afterwards, the Chrome extensions will load a bogus code from a fly-analytics.com domain and proceed to inject ads in Google and Bing search results.

At this point in time, plenty of these Chrome extensions have been removed but there are still some that can still be downloaded on the Chrome Store. In case you might have any of these Google Chrome extensions, you should definitely uninstall it as soon as you can.

For the full list of Google Chrome extensions found to inject ads, check it out right below here:

Soulja Boy Is Making Another Game Console “From Scratch”

Does anyone remember Soulja Boy’s failed attempts at selling game consoles back in 2018? The rapper sold a few China-made knock-off video game consoles repackaged under his “Soulja” brand which was subsequently taken down following a lawsuit by Nintendo. You’d think that he would’ve learned his lesson after all that kerfuffle but it turns out that might just not be the case.
Soulja Boy takes another stab at making a new game console
Soulja recently tweeted, “Coming soon @SouljaGame” last weekend which seems to indicate that he is indeed coming back with another “video game console”. If you check out the Soulja Game Twitter account, it does indeed say that they are building a new console seemingly “from scratch” with “an all new design”.

Building a new console from scratch, all new design. All new games. All new deals. Let’s make history.
— Soulja Game Console (@SouljaGame) February 13, 2021

Soulja Boy also released pictures of the game console on the Soulja Game Instagram account which admittedly looks about as original as sliced bread. The game console features a look like an Xbox One X with a controller that looks like the PlayStation 2’s DualShock 2 controller. I guess pairing something that looks like an Xbox One X and a PS2 controller counts as an all-new design.

It’ll be interesting to see what’ll happen to the console when it releases. Heck, it might just hit it big and become a surprise hit with gamers. Who knows?

Pokdepinion: I have to applaud Soulja Boy at his ballsy attempts at cracking the video game industry. Sure they might not be good attempts but you have to admit they are quite entertaining.

honor Play cheating in benchmarks — uses double the power to deliver unrealistically high benchmark scores

The honor Play has been caught cheating in benchmarks with unrealistically high power delivery to the Kirin 970 to give it higher benchmark scores.
honor Play cheating in benchmarks
honor has just been caught red-handed by AnandTech for boosting the scores in detected benchmarks. The honor Play actually delivers nearly double the performance in benchmarks than realistically possible, by allowing the chipset to draw double the normal power limit.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The honor Play actually detects benchmarks, and allows the chipset to draw nearly double the power and deliver more performance. AnandTech had to use special apps which won’t be detected by the device to show the difference.

Naturally, when the chipset is capable of drawing more power battery life would also be affected. That is probably why we noticed the honor Play faring quite badly in the battery benchmark when we reviewed it?
While honor is far from the first to be spotted cheating by boosting performance when a benchmark is detected, the best part is how HUAWEI responded to it. AnandTech met with HUAWEI’s President of Software, and he was quoted saying:
others do the same testing, get high scores, and Huawei cannot stay silent
Take of that what you will.
Source: AnandTech
Pokdepinion: It is quite common practice for brands to cheat in benchmarks. Samsung has done it before, OnePlus too, and so has HTC. It’s never justifiable to do it.

ASUS Latest Monitors And Projector
Aimed for designers, video producers, animators and content creators, ASUS has unveiled the ASUS ProArt PA32UC and ProArt PA27AC just to help for that cause.
ASUS ProArt PA32UC Monitor
The new ASUS ProArt PA32UC monitor is a 32-inch monitor which features a 4K UHD IPS panel display that comes with 384-zone direct-LED backlight matrix and a peak brightness of 1000cd/m2. It can achieve wide color coverage that meets industry standard – 85% Rec. 2020, 99.5% Adobe RGB, and 100% sRGB, enabling it to produce more vivid and lifelike colors.

In addition to that, the PA32UC has Ultra HD Premium certification, ensuring an optimal UHD experience. Other specification include two Thunderbolt 3 ports, a DisplayPort 1.2, a HDMI port, as well as a USB 3.0 hub.
ASUS ProArt PA27AC
On the other hand, the ASUS ProArt PA27AC features a smaller 27-inch 2560 x 1440 WQHD IPS panel and a four-sided frameless design. It supports HDR10 and comes with 100% sRGB color space coverage. The monitor also includes two Thunderbolt 3 ports, a DisplayPort 1.2, three HDMI ports and a USB 3.0 hub.
ASUS Full HD F1 LED Projector
Monitors aside, ASUS has also introduced their Full HD F1 LED projector. The projector is equipped with an ultra-short-throw, all-glass lens that is able to project a 200-inch image at a distance of two meters. A cinema-grade projector, the F1 features an autofocus lens and supports native Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, delivering a high-quality viewing experience.
It comes with an RGB LED light source and 1,200-lumen, 100% NTSC output, which delivers images that are brighter, sharper, and more saturated than conventional projectors. In addition, it features several unique design feature that include vent holes and speakers that use a metal mesh to deliver more efficient thermal and volume output. Integrated in it is two 3W stereo speakers as well as a 4W woofer for 2.10channel audio for a better immersive sound output.
Pokdepinion: The monitors looks decent enough. I wonder about the pricing for them though.

Did you know that the iPhone, along with the iPad,, has this neat trick to make typing way more convenient? Not many people are aware of it, and you should definitely learn to make your life easier. Here’s what you need to know.
iPhone Has This Neat Trick to Make Typing Much Easier

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

One of the most underutilized features on the iPhone, also the iPad, is also one that can make your life much easier when it comes to typing text messages. The feature is called “Shake to Undo”, which will prompt you to undo typing when you shake your device.
However, not everyone has the feature enabled on their iPhone, despite Apple enabling it by default. Regardless of whether you’d like to enable or disable it, all you have to do is:
How to Enable / Disable Shake to Undo?

Head over to Settings
Select “Accessibility“
Then, select “Touch“
Enable / disable Shake to Undo

It’s really that simple. If that isn’t convenient enough, especially on the iPad which is rather big to shake with ease, you do have other options. As of iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, there are gesture options that you can make use of, where you swipe 3 fingers from right to left on both iPhone and iPad to delete what you typed. Swiping the opposite direction will instead redo the changes.
It may take a while for you to get used to or even to remember them but once you’ve gotten used to it, it will certainly make things easier. This is especially the case for those of you constantly text or are on social media. Hope this helps you out.

Nokia 222 — a month battery life

Why bother to buy cheap Android smart phones that range from RM150 to RM200 when you now have a better option. Microsoft has just launched the new Nokia 222 with a very affordable price tag starting from RM160 while packing some nice features for such a cheap phone. The Nokia 222 is available with two variant which are single SIM card and dual SIM options.

The Nokia 222 is just a basic phone like the Nokia 105, but the Nokia 222 offers several extra features that make it almost a smart phone, such as internet browsing and you know what? Social media apps like Skype, Facebook, Twitter and Messenger are also available. Both Nokia 222 variants run Nokia Series 30+ OS. Connectivity options include GPRS, Bluetooth v3.0, Micro-USB, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

This tiny phone comes with a 2.4 inches QVGA 320x240px resolution display, 2MP rear camera. MicroSD card expansion is available and supports cards up to 32GB of storage thus it will be a good MP3 player (Ahem, no equalizer setting available) since Microsoft claimed that it is capable of 50 hours of playback. The Nokia 222 measures 116x50x12.9mm, and weighs 79 grams.

Suprised by 50 hours of MP3 playback? The Nokia 222 only relies on a 1100mAh battery that will power the phone for up to 29 days for the  single SIM Nokia 222 and 21 days for the dual SIM version. I have saved the best feature for last, the Nokia 222 will come with an integrated LED flashlight if somehow you have some trouble in the dark.

Pokdepinion : This is really a good phone but Microsoft should make Whatsapp available on this platform. Any other useful application would be good too. To be honest if I am searching for a budget-friendly and reasonably feature rich phone, the Nokia 222 single SIM will be my best bet! Compared to cheap Android smart phone? This wouldn’t lag like most cheap Android devices in the market.

ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO Review – Ryzen’s Cheat Code

AMD’s next-gen DDR5 platform sees huge changes to the motherboards and the specifications around it – so that gives the manufacturers some leeway to do redesigns on looks or even the components used to feed the power or route the signal. The ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO is among the first models to arrive with the X670E chipset, which is the designated platform of Ryzen 7000 series CPUs.
Unboxing
ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO – box front.
ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO – box rear.
Just like the Intel Z-series counterpart (read here), it’s the standard ROG packaging that has been used in their products for a while by now. However, the big orange letters does easily tell you this is in fact, a socket AM5 motherboard so you won’t have any issues telling it apart from many of ROG’s samey-samey boxes of flagship motherboards.
ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO – inside packaging.
PCIe 5.0 M.2 Expansion Card – comes bundled with X670E HERO.
Below where the motherboard sits are the assortment of cables, screws and all kinds of stuffs that makes your motherboard go brrrrrr. Unlike the Intel ones, you don’t get the keychains or swag stuff – and the PCIe 5.0 M.2 expansion card is in fact, a downsized one that only contains a single M.2 slot (they do not brand it as Hyper M.2 card). Weird choice given X670E’s capabilities of more PCIe 5.0 lanes… aside from that, you do still get a USB containing all the drivers you need to get stuffs up and running.

Appearance
ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO in its full glory.
Like the Z790, you get two huge chunks of “mirrors” located on I/O side (Polymo Lighting), and down below which is given the role of dissipating not one, but two Promontory 21 chips. The VRM and primary SSD heatsinks are slightly toned down in design – but you’ll have to compare it side to side to realize that if I didn’t tell you beforehand. All things considered, this is a huge visual update over its direct predecessor – the ROG Crosshair X570 HERO. No backplate like the Z790 HERO though – not that it needs one based on our testing below.
Note: Bottom SSD heatsink removed.
Below them all sits another big, flat metal heatsink which covers three SSDs; and on the bottom of the board is one PCIe 4.0 x1 slot – instead of the full-size x16 slot that the Intel counterpart gets. The CMOS battery is covered halfway by the SSD heatsink – but you won’t need to worry about it since you can reset it by pressing the button on the rear I/O instead. No lighting is present on this section, this is purely reflective surface so that means the Polymo Lighting will be the single customizable light source of this motherboard.
I/O ports.
On the rear side, plenty of I/O. From top you get a BIOS FlashBack button and a Clear CMOS button, followed by a HDMI output. Below that is twelve USB ports in various types: the USB-A are all simplified with every single port running the 3.2 Gen 2 spec (10Gbps), while all the USB-C ports are lined up on the left side. The USB4 ports are instead labeled with the number ’40’ next to the USB logo – unlike the lighting arrow you’ll find on Thunderbolt ports. Moving downwards – a single 2.5GbE LAN, then comes Wi-Fi 6E antennas and finally the audio outputs which include S/PDIF and five-channel 3.5mm audio jack.

A Closer Look
VRMs

Among this 18+2 powerstage sits 18 of Vishay SIC850A Vcore MOSFETs which are each rated for 110A. The remaining two MOSFETs (VSoC) are Intersil ISL99390 – same one used for Z790 HERO, rated at 90 amps. It is covered with a big chunk of metal with slightly less diagonal cuts compared to its Z790 equivalent; and also it doesn’t have the massive backplate that the Team Blue motherboard uses (not that it needed one – temps below will explain).
VRM controller, however, is managed by ASUS’s in-house DIGI+ EPU ASP2205 chip – unlike the Renesas unit from the Intel model. Aside from that, you get the Polymo Lighting with slightly different designs again, over Intel models.
Audio

Just like its Intel counterpart – here you’re seeing the combination of Realtek ALC4082 + ESS ES9218 Quad DAC (right). Same number of capacitors and layout are the exact same. Any high-impedance headphones won’t be a problem for this to handle.
Storage & Expansion
PCIe expansion slots & M.2 slots, along with their PCIe specs. Note that both PCIe 5.0 slots can only operate under single x16 or dual x8/x8 mode.
Here’s an interesting one. By default the X670E HERO comes with five M.2 slots: two PCIe 5.0 x4 (inline with PCIe expansion slots) and another two PCIe 4.0 x4 (right side). The fifth one takes in the form of a PCIe 5.0 M.2 expansion card – not the one that was branded as Hyper M.2 Card in Intel motherboards.
Some napkin math should get you figured out that this rather less branded expansion does in fact, comes with just a single PCIe 5.0 slot – not two. An additional slot on the add-in card, even if running on PCIe 4.0 would’ve been nice, no? Like the Z790 HERO – no presence of M.2 25110 slots so this might be something you have to take note in case SSD manufacturers starts using this new standard down the few years’ line.
Keep in mind that both PCIe 5.0 slots only will operate either a single x16 mode (one slot used) or x8/x8 mode (both slots used). You can manually configure this through PCIe settings under BIOS. In that case, should you use the PCIe 5.0 M.2 expansion card, that will mean your GPU slot gets limited to PCIe 5.0 x8 bandwidth only. You won’t need to worry about GPU saturating that just yet though – at least not in a year or two.
I/O

First up is the USB4 controller – which is handled by Intel JHL8540 controller. Which conveniently is also the same exact chip that does the work for Z790 HERO’s Thunderbolt 4 controllers… so yes, USB4 is in fact Thunderbolt 4. The more you know. Various I/O is managed by ASMedia chips spanning in many places; connectivity wise, the AMD board gets the Intel I225-V 2.5GbE controller (which is the older one compared to I226-V in Z790 HERO), and the Wi-Fi 6E module is the M.2 2230 version of AX211 – aptly named AX210. AMD’s Promontory 21 chipsets handles downstream signaling; with various ASMedia controllers handling I/O on devices.
Thermals
Cinebench stress test – average power draw at 176W, with VRM barely heating up.
As far as testing on stock settings go, we’re seeing the CPU pulling ~180W peak (PPT) on a full-blown Cinebench R23 test; VRM sensors report just 54°C, so there’s no worry on thermals affecting CPU performance as far as power delivery is concerned. The dual FCH chipsets hit around 62°C on a single CrystalDiskMark benchmark run which takes about 5 minutes or so – the temperatures does report two separate chips individually through HWiNFO64 but you’ll see average values within Armoury Crate. That said, during our testing we never saw both chipsets deviate even two degrees apart.
Performance: PBO Enhancement
Look for this option when you’re enabling PBO Enhancement feature.
Here’s a killer feature that currently exclusive to ASUS motherboards: PBO Enhancement. On paper it looks like a simple temperature limiter – which you’d expect drops the performance accordingly depending on how aggressive you’d like to go in terms of thermal management. Except… it barely does. Based on our Cinebench R23 tests on the Ryzen 9 7900X, the scores only dropped by 1,000 points between default and the most aggressive Level 3 setting – and we even gained small amount of points on Level 1!
PBO Enhancement Settings vs. Cinebench R23 Multicore results. Peak power draw (PPT value) denoted in brackets.
This feature is available on all 600 series ASUS motherboards so far, if you have one of these – turn this feature on right NOW. Now, how does this even work? Lower temps, power and somehow, higher clocks and scores? According to ASUS – this setting does not simply just put a temperature limit; but rather, as you turn on this feature the motherboard works out voltage and other PBO optimizations (effectively, auto-undervolting of sorts) and that in turn gets you much better power efficiency and thus, more performance per watt.
Other Features

A few things got the latest upgrade compared to the AM4 equivalent – namely, the introduction of FlexKey button. This button is effective a macro key and you can assign it from the options within BIOS. While these stuffs are mainly designed for overclockers, the START button for one will save you some trouble shorting case header pins should you need a quick check on the system outside of the PC case.
Like the Z790 HERO, you get a ALT_PCIE_MODE switch that directly drops all signals to PCIe 4.0 should any of your add in cards (such as GPUs) doesn’t feel like it. In some cases this switch might be useful if you use vertical PCIe risers that was not designed for PCIe 5.0 signaling just yet. For overclockers, there’s a LN2_MODE jumper should you feel a little bit… adventurous.
Starting Up
ROG Armoury Crate software.
First thing first, a quick trip to BIOS and enable EXPO (previously called DOCP on older motherboards) so your memory is cranked up to speed. Just like any other ASUS motherboards, you get the usual suite of software features all housed under Armoury Crate – from monitoring usages, temperatures to changing Polymo Lighting and AURA SYNC stuffs. FanXpert and all the AI features are here should you need a quick-fire way of balancing thermals and acoustics; but of course custom tuning is here should you feel like giving it a bit more oomph than what the robots can do.
ASUS does offer many other exclusive software such as Sonic Studio III, MyASUS and all that which are optional; you can grab them anytime if you want all these bells and whistles.
Conclusion

I’ll get this up front: the price you’re looking at is RM3,569 for a piece of ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO. I’m not entirely sure where would the extra price comes from, considering Intel’s Z790 counterpart does cost slightly less – AMD’s platform doesn’t need as much VRM materials; and one of the PCIe x16 slot is lost to the prior generation for ‘good’ measure. Extra signaling requirements (and thus thicker and pricier PCBs) for the second PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot? Could be.
On the positive side, VRM and dual FCH chipsets stays consistently low without the need rather creative solutions – which is a plus point. The best part though, this motherboard does enjoy the PBO Enhancement feature, which almost functions like a cheat code to massively improve thermal while barely losing CPU performance based on our testing. That said, this is not exclusive to this particular motherboard – it’s available to all ASUS motherboards by now so it’s not entirely added points for this board.

I will say this is strictly an enthusiast-only motherboard since AMD’s design choices meant you can’t really overclock in the most traditional sense – anything past DDR5-6400 will require you to decouple FCLK and that guarantees worse memory performance; the CPU itself is designed to hit 95°C and you’ll need exotic cooling solutions to try to contain it below that magic temperature with the CPU fully maxed out. Practicality will not be the main reason you’re looking at this motherboard – however, visuals? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. Assuming your beauty does worth this much.

Thanks to ASUS Malaysia for sending us the ROG Crosshair X670E HERO for the purpose of this review.

Genshin Impact 1.6 Leak Reveals Potential Major Inazuma Map Change

As many of you may know by now, the Inazuma region is expected to come in update 1.6. In the latest Genshin Impact 1.6 leak, there may be a potential major change to the new map.
Potential Inazuma Map Change in Genshin Impact 1.6?

From @TheVelturify , yet again putting together more Inazuma crumbs. https://t.co/wDU9oB0AsH

The one fun thing about leaks is that it usually gives you a good idea of what to expect in the future. However, until it’s officially announced, it’s always subjected to change and that is the case with the latest Genshin Impact 1.6 leak with the Inazuma region.
From what know thus far, the Inazuma region will now be located behind the Guyun Stone Forest. Based on information gleaned from the closed beta testing and resemblance between the two areas, it’s essentially confirmed to be the Inazuma region.
With that being said however, what’s made available in the closed beta phase usually never resembles what appears in the final version. We do expect to see more changed to be applied as the release date draws near. At the moment, we’re still not sure whether it will actually launch with the 1.6 update but if it does, then we can also welcome Dendro characters including Baizhu and Yaoyao.
Genshin Impact is currently available for free on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Android, iOS, and PC. A Nintendo Switch version will be coming sometime soon.

Pokdepinion: You know what would be really funny? If they changed literally every single thing about the new region, from its name, location, and importance in the overall game. I mean, it’s unlikely, but it’s not impossible.

Xiaomi Mi 9 To Come With 48MP Main Lens And 32W Fast Charging?

According to reports, Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi Mi 9 will come with a triple rear camera setup that includes a 48MP Sony IMX586 lens, a secondary 12MP camera as well as a 3D TOF camera.
The phone will reportedly come with a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 19:9 ratio. Instead of the normal notch that was found in the previous Mi 8, the new device will come with a waterdrop notch instead.
Other than that, the phone will likely be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset and 6GB RAM that’s mated with 128GB of internal storage. According to the leak, this variant will be priced at CNY2999, which is roughly RM1,806. An under-display fingerprint sensor will be implemented and it will run on the latest Android 9 Pie with MIUI 10.

Under the hood it packs 3500mAh battery and comes with 32W fast charging. Sadly, there isn’t support for wireless charging according to reports.
Despite all these reported leaks, we should probably take it with a pinch of salt. We should expect to learn more on the Xiaomi Mi 9 at this year’s MWC event. Till then, watch this space.
Pokdepinion: I was more than satisfied with the previous Mi 8, let’s just hope that the new Mi 9 is a certain upgrade and doesn’t disappoint consumers.

Microsoft is Gearing Up for Next Gen Xbox According to Job Listings

It looks like the folks over at Microsoft are really gearing up for their next gen Xbox console as they have started to look for more people to join the team and work on it.
As recent as 10 days ago, four new job postings were listed on the Microsoft career page. It shows that the team handling the next gen Xbox hardware will be increasing in numbers, as they are looking for engineers for hardware, storage, and electrical engineering within hardware such as accessories.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The Senior Electrical Engineer job post invites candidates to “Come be part of what’s next.” Candidates selected for this role will be working on upcoming Xbox Accessories and will “lead the electrical development of our next generation accessories.” Which I personally hope it translates to: your job will be to help us “USB Type-C” everything.
Out of all newly listed openings, the “Mechanical Engineer Xbox” position is definitely the most exciting one. “The Xbox Development Team is looking for a highly motivated and collaborative Mechanical Engineer to contribute to the mechanical system development of our next generation consoles.” Do note that they mentioned “consoles” and not “console”, which is indicating multiples.
During E3 2018, Xbox head Phil Spencer stated that the team was “deep into architecting” the next gen Xbox consoles. However, we still have no clue on how many of them we can look forward to, though I assume there will be an entry-level model as well as the higher end model like the Xbox One X is to the current generation.
Either way, we gamers will be able to look forward to a “family of devices” to enjoy the next gen Xbox experience. Microsoft is clearly stepping up their game and looking to put the finishing touches to their upcoming consoles.

Pokdepinion: The one thing I’m particularly interested to know more about is the cloud-based Xbox console for next generation. It sounds interesting in concept but would like to know how it performs.

CES 2021: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX is the first ever unlocked AMD mobile processor

AMD has finally lifted the lid on the AMD Ryzen 5000 series mobile processors. They have unveiled not just the performance-oriented H-series processors, but also the U-series processors, designed for efficient ultraportables. The AMD Ryzen 5000 series sees a number of Zen 3 SKUs mixed in with the Zen 2 ones in the U-series, which is quite an interesting decision on AMD’s end.
AMD also decided against added PCIe 4.0 to their mobile processors, instead continuing their reliance on the eight-lane PCIe 3.0 interface in the AMD Ryzen 5000 series. Another thing that is still carried over from the previous generations is the Radeon Vega graphics, which is definitely beginning to show its age with the arrival of the Intel Iris Xe Graphics.
AMD Ryzen 5000U Series – not everything is Zen 3
As mentioned earlier, not the entire AMD Ryzen 5000 series mobile processors product stack is based on Zen 3. While the AMD Ryzen 4000 generation saw the whole product stack updated to Zen 2, this time AMD decided to mix in a few Zen 2 SKUs in with the Zen 3 SKUs, presumably to cover a wider range of price points with the AMD Ryzen 5000U series processors.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

AMD spread out the Zen 2 and Zen 3 SKUs in a way that there aren’t any overlapping SKUs. If you just want a higher core count, you can opt for the more affordable Zen 2-based processors, while if you want more performance you can also opt for the Zen 3-based ones. The Zen 2 SKUs are available from the low-end 4C/8T configurations all the way up to the 8C/16T options, while Zen 3-based SKUs start from 6-cores.

Single-Core Scaling

Multi-Core Scaling

This allows for near-perfect scaling across the board when it comes to multi-core performance, without the need for AMD to gimp their parts by disabling SMT. The situation is a bit messier when it comes to single-core performance, but I guess that’s a compromise that AMD is willing to make.
As we have previously observed with the desktop AMD Zen 3 processors, this generation, or at least the SKUs with the latest Zen 3 cores, are bringing a huge leap in performance and efficiency. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800U is expected to deliver up to 21 hours of battery life on top of more than 20% performance improvement over last-gen products.

AMD Ryzen 5000H Series – the fastest mobile processors in the market!
While AMD’s desktop processors are fully unlocked regardless of variant, it is definitely a lot more challenging when it comes to laptops, as there’s just so much to consider in a laptop, especially when it comes to thermal and power headroom. But I guess AMD decided to go all out with the Zen 3 architecture, bringing us the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX and Ryzen 9 5980HX, two overclockable Cezanne mobile processors.

AMD has also released the flagship AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS, offering the highest out-of-box boost clocks in their product stack, while also sporting an optimized 35W TDP. AMD appears to be intent to compete aggressively against the new Intel Tiger Lake H35 processors in ultraportable gaming machines, with the new AMD Ryzen 5 5600HS, Ryzen 7 5800HS, Ryzen 9 5900HS and the aforementioned Ryzen 9 5980HS for a full lineup of 35W CPUs starting from the 6C/12T configurations.
For the OEMs who will be designing their laptops with more thermal headroom, there will also be the regular 45W TDP SKUs with slightly higher base clocks. Thanks to the AMD Zen 3 architecture, AMD is claiming that the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS is capable of besting the Core i9-10980HK in Cinebench R20 by 17% in both single and multi-threaded performance, even while touting a lower TDP, proving just how efficient Zen 3 really is.

ASUS Brought ROG Strix, DUAL & ProArt To RTX 4060 Lineup

ASUS’s entry for NVIDIA’s latest GeForce RTX 4060 GPU consists of three families: the premium ROG Strix line, the entry-level DUAL (and DUAL White) line, and the creator-focused ProArt line. TUF Gaming didn’t make the cut for this launch, however.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The ROG Strix RTX 4060 continues to be the uber-premium, uber-sized and uber-expensive option with the huge 3.1-slot, 311.4mm footprint commanding its presence in most people’s PC builds. The Strix nameplate also meant it comes with new 11-blade axial fans with 21% more volume over outgoing design; Dual BIOS switch, FanConnect II headers and the signature “taillights” as the common theme of ROG’s RTX 40 GPUs.

Down the line comes the ProArt and DUAL lineup, the latter of which comes with two colors: black or white. ASUS hasn’t given any details on the ProArt model aside from the inclusion of three-month Adobe Creative Cloud subscription; meanwhile the DUAL lineup features the same Dual-BIOS mode and 11-blade axial fans seen in other models, though it comes at a significantly shorter size at just 227mm.
As for local availability and pricing, ASUS Malaysia has only announced two models for now – the ROG STRIX RTX 4060 will cost you RM1,999 whereas the black-colored DUAL RTX 4060 will set you back for RM1,539.
Pokdepinion: Wonder what would a 115W card look like in ProArt flavors? Hopefully a dual-slot.

Some PC Games Can’t Launch Due to a 2020 Bug, And Here’s a Quick Fix

It’s a new year and a new decade but unfortunately for some people, particularly gamers, it didn’t start off too well. Some PC games reportedly have trouble launching. This is due to a newly discovered 2020 bug, which resulted in unknown crashes.
The games that have been reported to face the 2020 bug are WWE 2K20 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It’s suspected to be due to a Denuvo anti-tamper technology. However, it’s worth noting that not all games using Denuvo have faced this issue. Games like Monster Hunter World and Code Vein works just fine.
We do have a quick fix for this while the companies figure out a more permanent solution. Simply change the date on your PC to 31st December 2019 or earlier, and the games will work perfectly fine. It’s an odd fix but it works.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

We’re pretty sure all the game companies now are checking to see if their games are working fine or if they have to release a patch for it. A patch for the games facing the 2020 bug issue will definitely be released in the next few days. For now, you’ll just have to settle with this.

Xiaomi Malaysia lowers prices in spite of rising costs due to coronavirus

The recent coronavirus epidemic has caused quite a stir in China, as production lines grind to a halt. This has resulted in a global effect, causing price of goods to rise, with China hosting most of the manufacturing facilities in the world. RAM, graphics cards and even smartphones expected to see price hikes over the next few months. But there might be some reprieve for us.
Xiaomi has been monitoring the 2019-nCoV issue closely and is involved in aiding the effort to help combat the virus in China. Xiaomi also noted that the issue also led to their costs increasing, but rather than transferring the increased costs to the end user, Xiaomi will actually lowering the prices of their affordable smartphones even further.

You May Have One Solid Reason to Stop Using Google Chrome Now

Google Chrome is arguably the most popular web browser today. There are also many users who are considering to change to another web browser permanently. If you have never had a good reason before, you may have one right now.
Unsafe Code in Google Chrome

Google engineers have recently revealed that “unsafe” code inside Google Chrome have resulted in 70% of security vulnerabilities and 125 out of the 130 critical bugs in the browser over the last year. To be precise, the engineers blamed C and C++ as they…
…don’t come with restrictions or warnings to prevent or alert developers when they’re making basic memory management errors. These early coding errors result in memory management vulnerabilities being introduced in applications.
Google engineers
Memory management flaws are no joke as they’re considered highly prized vulnerabilities by hackers. In fact, non-profit organization Mitre who handles US government’s database of software vulnerabilities ranked them as the first, fifth, and seventh in the top 10 list of dangerous vulnerabilities.

This isn’t just limited to Google Chrome however as Chromium-based browsers are also subjected to the same vulnerabilities. One notable example of a safe browser to use is Firefox based on Rust, a programming language that is designed with a focus on being memory safe.
It’s worth noting that Google is looking to address the issues in both Google Chrome and Chromium by any and all means necessary. They are looking at Rust, Swift, JavaScript, Kotlin, and Java to replace C and C++. They are looking at custom C++ libraries as they believe their strategy of sandboxing has reached its maximum benefits when taking performance into account.
With that being said however, it will be hard to say when exactly the company will be able to fix all of the issues. It sounds like a hefty process that could take a long time to complete. We will have no choice but to wait and see.

HONOR MagicBook 14 Review — form over function?

The HONOR MagicBook was a pretty recent addition to HONOR Malaysia’s lineup of products, but that apparently didn’t stop them from serving up a refreshed variant in the form of the HONOR MagicBook 14. Most of the hardware in it is similar, but there are a few changes here and there that makes it different enough from the HONOR MagicBook. We will call them out as and when we run into them.
What’s in the box

HONOR is still using the same power adapter and we aren’t going to fault them for it. The USB-C power adapter delivers up to 65W through the USB-C cable to charge the HONOR MagicBook 14, but it also supports lower power levels to support other devices like smartphones which accept input via USB-C. No complaints here.

Appearance

The main difference between the two models is its design. HONOR went with a silver sheen this time around, instead of the gray that the HONOR MagicBook came in. In addition to the sleeker color, the MagicBook 14 also sports a flatter profile with sharper corners, which further highlights the difference between the two designs.

Part of the reason why the corners are more sharply angled is because HONOR shrank the bezels around the screen. So now the bezels and overall shape of the laptop conforms more tightly around the display, which as you might expect, has sharp corners.

HONOR also revised the smoothly tapered sides with chamfered edges. On top of the shiny chamfered edges, HONOR applied a blue-purple finish that really reflects HONOR’s brand colors. Overall, I think it does make the HONOR MagicBook 14 look rather unique, unlike the more generic design of the HONOR MagicBook.

What HONOR did to achieve the slimmer bezels was to move the webcam away from the bezel above the display to the keyboard. It’s probably not the best location, but it does let the HONOR MagicBook 14 offer a smaller footprint.

The hawk-eyed among you might notice that the SSD is now half the size, although it is a Samsung drive, which does promise faster speeds. In terms of its dimensions, 6mm has been shaved off its length, along with 70g off its weight. However it is 0.2mm thicker. A negligible increase by any means, but probably still worth mentioning nonetheless.
Performance

Samsung’s drives promise impressive performance, but due to the size, you actually don’t reap nearly as much benefits. The drive in the HONOR MagicBook 14 turns out only offering faster read speeds, but the rest of the metrics are lower than what the LITEON drive in the HONOR MagicBook offered.

In Cinebench R20, the HONOR MagicBook 14 outperforms the HONOR MagicBook quite significantly. It also interestingly outperforms both the 10th Gen Intel Core laptops in the charts, although it is definitely a far cry from the AMD Ryzen 4000 offerings.

GPU performance sees a rather peculiar situation where the HONOR MagicBook 14 trades punches with the HONOR MagicBook. The Intel Ice Lake laptops do appear to have a slight advantage over the AMD Picasso laptops, but the difference is really quite minuscule when you consider the difference in pricing as well.

As you might expect, the HONOR MagicBook 14 is meant for rather basic use. It doesn’t do all that well if you try to run more taxing workloads on it. The limited 8GB RAM might also be a bottleneck down the line.

Battery life sees the HONOR MagicBook 14 deliver 32 minutes less battery life than the earlier model. Now this is quite an interesting as it actually performs worse than the HONOR MagicBook overall in the PCMark benchmarks, so I am not exactly sure what happened here, as both laptops have the same sized batteries (EDIT: the MagicBook 14 has a slightly smaller 56WHr battery versus the MagicBook’s 57.4WHr).

At first glance, HONOR appears to have downgraded the cooling system to a single heatpipe design, but in reality it actually performs better. The highest temperatures we saw in Cinebench was 73.1°C, and 65.1°C in Realbench’s stress test. Well, I guess sometimes simple is best.
User Experience

Moving on, the display on the HONOR MagicBook 14 is different from the one in the HONOR MagicBook, but it seems that it does feature similar characteristics. It’s not the brightest, rated for a mere 250 nits. We measured the brightness to be at 221 nits, which is quite far below average. In fact it is quite significantly dimmer than the 267 nits we measured on the HONOR MagicBook.
Color response is also pretty mediocre, although I do find it perfectly fine for basic media consumption, but I would avoid relying on it for color critical tasks like image or video editing. In comparison with the HONOR MagicBook, the HONOR MagicBook 14 offers about 1~2% higher gamut coverage.
          59.7% sRGB coverage          42.6% DCI-P3 coverage            41.5% Adobe RGB coverage
While the screen is comparable, HONOR downgraded the speakers here, from the quad-speakers in the HONOR MagicBook to the two down-firing ones we have here. It seems that shrinking the bezels around the display has resulted in less room inside for additional speakers, and thus we will have to make do with the regular two speakers on the underside. But it’s not all bad news. Despite downgrading the hardware, the experience is still quite good, with the HONOR MagicBook 14 going really loud, although it does not extend into the highs nearly as well as the first HONOR MagicBook.

The area previously occupied by the forward firing speakers in the HONOR MagicBook are now empty in the HONOR MagicBook 14. The keyboard also feels similar, with the same weird configuration of the Fn keys. It’s offers a nice typing experience, although it could do with a bit more travel. HONOR enlarged the trackpad too in the X-axis, allowing for more room to navigate. It appears to be a little better when it comes to palm rejection. Speaking of palms, the palm rests are also better grounded, despite the power adapter still not featuring a ground connection. Gone are the uncomfortable static shocks that the HONOR MagicBook provided, which is a massive improvement in terms of user experience.

When it comes to I/O, HONOR has kept the same configuration from the HONOR MagicBook. There’s a headphone jack along with the USB 2.0 port on the right. Over on the left there’s the USB-C port that also acts as the charging input, as well as the USB 3.0 port and the HDMI port. For data transfer, the USB-C port is limited to USB 3.0 speeds, which might be a bummer for anyone expecting higher transfer rates. But that’s fine.

HONOR and HUAWEI smartphone users can take advantage of HONOR Magic-Link to transfer files over WiFi, simply by tapping the NFC chip on the palm rest. Now NFC is a requirement, because the feature actually sports gestures where you can shake the phone and tap for different functionalities. It’s actually quite cool.

One of the main highlights is the multi-screen collaboration which lets you drag and drop stuff between your HONOR MagicBook 14 and your smartphone, or just to use your phone on a bigger screen with the keyboard and trackpad, if you are into that kind of thing.
Conclusion
HONOR improved the aesthetics, but halved the storage and number of speakers when moving from the HONOR MagicBook to the HONOR MagicBook 14. The screen is dimmer and the battery is smaller here than it was on the HONOR MagicBook too. They also increased the price by a rather significant RM200 to RM2499, which makes it much less  than the original HONOR MagicBook. I do find it an absolutely unnecessary refresh especially as they kept the same chipset from the HONOR MagicBook, when the AMD Ryzen 4000 series processors are already widely available.

For just RM100 more, you can get an AMD Ryzen 4000-powered laptop now, which will offer significantly better performance. It probably won’t look as sexy as the HONOR MagicBook 14 here, but that’s a rather subjective matter and you would be the best judge for that. Personally, I would opt for the AMD Ryzen 4000 laptop. Or maybe just wait for HONOR’s upcoming Ryzen 4000 laptops if you aren’t in a rush for a new laptop?
With all that said, it is by no means a bad laptop for basic computing. But the HONOR MagicBook 14 definitely doesn’t live up to the reputation of the HONOR MagicBook. There’s a silver lining for the HONOR MagicBook 14 though. HONOR has thrown in a nice set of freebies that included a HONOR Watch Magic for early birds. Hopefully those freebies will be available later down the line too to make it a better buy.
Our thanks to HONOR Malaysia for sending us the HONOR MagicBook 14 for review.
