Qualcomm leaks out a potential competitor to Apple’s M1 core for notebooks

Snapdragon 8cx Gen2 processor for Windows 10 on ARM debuted in 2020 and Qualcomm is already working on a successor codenamed “SC8280XP”. A processor going by the aforementioned name has appeared in developer samples and Apple M1-rival is early in development, judging by the information available in internal documents. The unnamed Snapdragon chipset could be the first where Qualcomm moves away from a combination of high-performing and energy-efficient cores. Instead, there might be future SoCs where all we get are high-performance cores running at different clock speeds. On this occasion, WinFuture reports that the Snapdragon SC8280 is currently being tested…

SpaceX eyeing satellite internet for homes and offices, to airplanes, ships and trucks, just not Tesla cars

SpaceX is gearing up for it’s next launch of 60 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral into space aboard a Falcon 9 rocket Tuesday night as SpaceX seeks regulatory authority to expand the network’s services from homes and offices to airplanes, ships, and trucks.

Currently, Starlink provides rural and underserved communities with broadband through its 1,122 low-Earth orbit satellites. Starlink kits cost $499 upfront, plus $99 a month…

New method of 3D bioprinting helps create organs rapidly

It looks like science fiction: A machine dips into a shallow vat of translucent yellow goo and pulls out what becomes a life-sized hand. 3D printing technologies have evolved at an unbelievable pace resulting in everything from 3D printed meat, to 3D printed houses to even 3D printed guns. A new method in high-speed 3D printing utilizes stereolithography and hydrogels–jelly-like materials that speed up the process, making 3D printed organs possible in the near future. Scientists from the University at Buffalo have developed a rapid new 3D bioprinting method that could represent a significant step towards fully-printed human organs. Many…

Technology a solution to the world’s food shortage

It is the application of science to the resolution of concrete problems. It constitutes a set of scientifically ordered knowledge, which allows the design and creation of goods or services that facilitate adaptation to the environment, as well as the satisfaction of essential individual needs and aspirations of humanity. Source: Wikipedia Taking first the quotation made, we can better understand why the title for this topic, but as technology can be a solution for the global shortage of food production, this is simple to explain, through a series of research techniques, application of testing / prototypes and taking results then…
