It's Tuesday, May 28, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Ready to catch up on more news from Computex 2019? Intel’s new 10th-gen CPUs are here, and ASUS has a dual-screen laptop that just might make the whole concept worthwhile. In other news, a malware-laden laptop sold for $1.3 million, and we’re hours away from finding out more about Hideo Kojima’s next game Death Stranding. (View in browser.) Now the XPS 15 has a top-mounted webcam, 9th-gen CPUs and OLED. Devindra Hardawar called Dell’s last XPS 13 revision a “perfect ultraportable,” but now there might be something better. It just unveiled an updated 2-in-1 version that has a taller 16:10 aspect ratio screen, more metal than previous XPS cases and a keyboard that feels more responsive than Apple’s butterfly keys. Oh, and of course Intel’s latest 10th-generation Core CPUs will be inside. | | Meet the new generation. The heart of the 10th-gen CPUs is Intel's Sunny Cove architecture, which features a quad-core, eight-thread design and speeds up to 4.1GHz. In comparison, the eighth-gen i7-8565U scaled up to 4.6GHz, while the previous i5 and i3 CPUs topped out at 3.9 GHz. With larger cache, 18 percent more instructions per clock (IPC) and massively improved Iris Plus integrated graphics, the new chips will do more even at equivalent clock speeds. As for other upgrades, the 10th-gen chips will include WiFi 6/802.11ax and Thunderbolt 3 support. While ultraportable laptop designs are the first ones to see these upgrades, the focus on efficient design will be felt elsewhere soon. | | Splitting the difference between Touch Bar and a full dual-screen laptop. Imagine a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar that expanded down towards the trackpad, pushing the keyboard below it. That's pretty much what the ZenBook Pro Duo's bottom deck looks like: A physical keyboard takes up the bottom half, with a 14-inch wide display sitting above it. This beast of a machine comes equipped with appropriately powerful guts, like an Intel Core i9 HK chip that's unlocked for overclocking, as well as an NVIDIA RTX 2060 graphics card that supports ray tracing for advanced lighting effects. According to Cherlynn Low, the primary 4K OLED screen was vivid, and its keyboard is still comfortable to use -- even if we don’t know how much one of these will cost or when they’ll actually be available. | | Sponsored Content by Stack Commerce | |
