Post 4: Tech Gossip

Hi there! There is nothing special going on so I have decided to post something on technology. Carlson is posting some official news but I would like to post something that is just not official. Here is some news about the unofficial news....

Nvidia to launch GTX 900 series graphics cards, maybe.
Looks like Nvidia has gone mad on the naming scheme and decided to skip the 800 series. Although the mobile version is still 800M, recent reports indicate that Nvidia will soon launch the GTX 980 and GTX 970. The cards are rumoured to be announced on the 9th September of this year with the 2nd Gen Maxwell to follow as well. The real cards will be shipped in October. Remember to take this news with just a pinch of salt as it is unofficial.

HTC Desire 820 may have a Quad core 64-bit CPU

HTC already unveiled one of the first Android smartphones with a 64-bit Snapdragon chipset, the Desire 510, but it's saving the higher-end phone for IFA. The HTC Desire 820 teasers initially suggested it will be the first phone with a 64-bit octa-core processor.

One of the popular leaker accounts on Twitter has provided more info on the device – it will be a 5.5" phablet with a 720p screen, 13MP main camera, 8MP front-facing camera and a 2,600mAh battery.

The chipset is listed as MSM8916, which is the same Snapdragon 410 chipset with quad-core processor that the Desire 510 is based on. It will allegedly come paired with 1.5GB of RAM and 8GB of storage.

The octa-core info came from a post on Chinese social network Weibo so there could be two versions of the Desire 820, HTC has put out more powerful, Asia-only versions before. Or it could be that the rumored info is wrong, we'll find out for sure next Thursday.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Video Leaked?

Is this the real Samsung Galaxy Note 4? With the announcing date coming soon. It is no doubt that leaks are coming from everywhere.

It is rumoured to sport a 5.7 inch SUPER AMOLED with an alleged 2K resolution screen. It also has a 16MP primary camera with the ability to shot 2K videos at 30FPS.  It might also have a 4GB RAM and a Snapdragon 805 chipset to give the best performance. These are just rumours and may change on official announcement. The blog will try to get as much information as possible and post it here.
