Intel Just Launched 6 New Processors!

 

Recently, the giant chip manufacturer Intel just launched six new processors which are especially intended for both the desktop market and the notebook market. These new processors will be the first to use the new Gemini Lake architecture. Replacing current Intel Atom.

Intel Just Launched 6 New Processors!

The technological giant Intel has just presented its two new series of processors: the new Intel Pentium Silver and the new Celeron. Both the varieties are intended for both the desktop market and the notebook market. These new processors will be the first to use the new Gemini Lake architecture. Replacing current Intel Atom.
As always, the low range of the processors of giant chip manufacturer has been formed by the processors Atom, by Celeron and Pentium. But now, Intel has had the great idea of grouping the normal Pentium with the Atom. And create two categories: for “high performance” we will have the Pentium Gold category. While for “low performance” we will have the new Pentium Silver category.
In the Pentium Gold category among all the current Pentium processors use core architecture. Therefore, they will be the Pentium that yields the most from the Intel catalogue.

By cons in the Pentium Silver category will be grouped the new Atom processors (although they will not have that name). They will be, together with the Celeron, the processors that give less of all the catalogue of processors of Intel. Although they will also be the least consumed, perfect candidates to be employed in ultraportable or tablets.

Today, two new Pentium Silver and four Celeron processors are introduced

The new Pentium Silver and Celeron processors that have been introduced today. They all have in common that they use the Gemini Lake architecture, which Intel recently introduced. This architecture is based mainly on the idea of having computers constantly connected to the Internet. For which Intel has provided for the first time in a platform for personal computers with Wi-Fi gigabit, 802.11AC, which uses 160 MHz channels.

Regarding the specifications of these processors, you can see them in the screenshots that I have shared above. As you can see both models of Pentium Silver employ quad-core processors, although without hyperthreading. What they do not comment on the captures is the consumption of the new processors. Thus, the desktop Pentium Silver consumes 10W, while the laptop version consumes only 6W. Something similar happens with the Celeron processors, which in its desktop version consume 10W, while the portable version consumes only 6W.
These processors, as it is usual in these ranges of Intel, lack socket. As they do have the most advanced versions of their processors. But they go soldiers directly to the motherboard.
The price of the most powerful version of the Pentium Silver is $161, both for desktop and laptop. The price of the Celeron versions is $107.

World’s First Phone With ‘In-Display Fingerprint Sensor’ Arriving At CES 2018

        World’s First Phone With ‘In-Display Fingerprint Sensor’ Arriving At CES 2018

 

 

Once the fingerprint sensor and the iris and face recognition sensors have been introduced for unlocking, the next major war is the introduction of the sensor below the screen. Hence, according to the latest reports, the world’s first smartphone with ‘In-Display Fingerprint Sensor’ will arrive at CES 2018.

World’s First Phone With ‘In-Display Fingerprint Sensor’ Arriving At CES 2018

Once the fingerprint sensor and the iris and face recognition sensors have been introduced for unlocking, the next major war is the introduction of the sensor below the screen.
After a few tries and some prototypes, the South Korean giant Samsung has patented its technology for this purpose. Manufacturers are continually looking to improve the usability of their devices, as well as the ease and security of their unlock.
Initially, the security was in charge of the pin and standard codes, however, it quickly evolved to fingerprint physical button unlocking and facial and iris recognition. Although the latter is supposed to increase security, the truth is that in certain situations it is not more practical than digital printing.

Although brands like the tech giant Apple have already abandoned the fingerprint, many others continue to believe in the advantages of this unlocking method, keeping both solutions implemented.
However, during this year, we saw a prototype fingerprint reader integrated into the screen of a smartphone, technology tested by Chinese manufacturer Vivo during CES 2017. But, for the moment we have not seen the first commercial smartphone with this technology integrated. According to information from GSMArena, this device could finally arrive at CES 2018.
CES 2018 will be held in Las Vegas, United States, from January 9 to 12. This fair welcomes many of the manufacturers of consumer technology in the world. Thus, some smartphones companies take the opportunity to show their news during the days in which the fair lasts.

The fingerprint reader below the screen would finally be implemented

 

 

Two years ago, Synaptics talked about its fingerprint reader technology below the screen. Now, the company has claimed that one of the major smartphone manufacturers could finally present the first commercial model with this technology and the Clear ID FS9500 sensor.
This Synaptics sensor only works with OLED screens. The OLED technology is incorporated in the screens equipment like the Galaxy S8, iPhone X or the LG V30. When the sensor is activated, the panel illuminates the fingerprint and processes the light rays.
Synaptics claims that the sensor can operate below several other components up to 1.5 millimetres thick. These components can be even the protective screen glass, in addition to the screen and the glass on top of it. Synaptics is the company that manufactures several fingerprint readers like those in the Galaxy S8. The reference of these are FS9100.
At the moment it is not certain what the manufacturer that would show this technology working in a commercial team. However, the letters are still live. This company has a great presence in our region and even it is one of the greatest players in Asia as well.
It only takes a month for the new technology party in Las Vegas to begin, and we hope to see many new features such as the fingerprint readers below the screen.

Hackers Turn On ‘GOD MODE’ To Hack Intel ME Chip

Recently, at the BlackHat Europe conference which was held in London, two well-known security researchers Mark Ermolov and Maxim Goryachy uncovered some critical vulnerabilities in Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) that can easily give a hacker core level access to most data and processes that are being run on the device, and then the hacker could easily turn on the so-called ‘God Mode’ capabilities.

Hackers Turn On ‘GOD MODE’ To Hack Intel ME Chip

Earlier we have reported that Intel has confirmed that the most modern families of its processors have a security error, leaving vulnerable to attacks on computers, servers and other products, regardless of the brand or operating system.

In its report, Intel explained that the error occurs in the Intel Management Engine (ME), where an attacker could execute a malicious code and thus access privileged information and, if desired, take control of the computer.

The failure is present in computers manufactured, approximately, from 2015 onwards. Intel recognized that the vulnerability affects the Intel Core of sixth, seventh and eighth generation, Pentium, Celeron N and J, Atom of the E3900 and C3000 series, and several of the Xeon family.

Most discovered vulnerabilities require physical access to the computer, except for a case that does allow a remote attack.

According to the reports, the vulnerabilities marked with severity level “important” and simply affect the following Intel processors with Intel ME:-

• 6th, 7th & 8th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Family
• Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1200 v5 & v6 Product Family
• Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family
• Intel® Xeon® Processor W Family
• Intel® Atom® C3000 Processor Family
• Apollo Lake Intel® Atom Processor E3900 series
• Apollo Lake Intel® Pentium™
• Celeron™ N and J series Processors

However, now according to the latest reports, at the BlackHat Europe conference which was held in London, two well-known security researchers Mark Ermolov and Maxim Goryachy uncovered (PDF) stack buffer overflow bugs which include “CVE-2017-5705, CVE-2017-5706, CVE-2017-5707” in Intel Management Engine 11 (Intel ME).

These security loopholes can easily give a hacker core level access to most data and processes that are being run on the device, and then the hacker could easily turn on the so-called ‘God Mode’ capabilities.

However, now if talk about the controls that the hacker or attacker could take then let me clear that hacker can easily run any vulnerable code, take control of system components, and the most horrible thing is that even these loopholes could be used to compromise or hack a turned-off computer as well. During these vulnerable processes, the system will simply function as usual as it works, without the user and the Operating System having any knowledge of what is happening.

But, according to the security researchers, earlier the security patches that the giant chip maker Intel released would simply become useless if an attacker manages to downgrade the firmware of the Intel Management Engine (ME) chip, hence, easily the attacker will be able to exploit the bugs.

It is really worrisome, as there is no security software or tools are available to safeguard users from this vulnerability. As the Intel Management Engine (ME) chip operates outside the reach of security software or tools, even the operating system as well. However, still, there is some hope is available, as some PC manufacturers are there who are really willing hard simply to pull the plug on the Intel Management Engine (ME) chip for their precious users.

Google Finally Launches Files Go Application Globally

We all know very well that the tech giant Google has a habit of trying to meet the application needs of its Android ecosystem. Hence, now finally the tech giant Google just launched an extraordinary application for all its Android users, Files Go.

Google Finally Launches Files Go Application Globally

It’s not uncommon to have to deal directly with files and folders on Android, but the tech giant Google’s mobile platform never had a good native file manager – it was up to the user to install a third-party application or use a solution developed by the smartphone manufacturer.

However, now according to the latest reports, the tech giant Google has revealed its own file manager. Yes, it may sound quite strange and exciting as well, but, it is true that the tech giant Google has really revealed its latest and new file manager which is named as “Files Go” as we reported earlier.

Files Go does not yet appear for most users, but you can find it on a Play Store page in the tech giant Google’s cache. The images show a very complete application: in addition to the basic functions of a manager (copy, move, rename and delete), you can clean application caches, find shared files in messaging apps (like WhatsApp) and even delete duplicate photos as well.

Perhaps one of the most common demands for any user of a phone is to have enough space to store any kind of file, and in turn, locate them to share them quickly and easily. If so, the tech giant Google heard your prayers.

The US company, of course, the tech giant finally launched Files Go, an application for the Android operating system that will allow free space on your mobile, to find and share files very easily without taking more time than necessary.

Files Go is undoubtedly one of the most significant applications that the tech giant Google has launched in recent dates, despite adding between its latest Android Oreo applications, the Datally application to control data consumption or Youtube Go that allows download videos from its platform.

http://youtu.be/lAnqp7VJ-c0

In a very general context, the innovations that you can find in Files Go are to free space, which is an interface that uses cards, and which will make a recommendation of which are the apps, files and videos that can be deleted because they do not result useful in their function within the phone.

In addition Files Go has the following features:-

– Find files quickly: Avoid having to navigate through different folders.

– Backup: Save your most important files in the cloud.

– Share files offline: Transfer files directly to another phone without consuming data.

During the final tests, it was announced that users who used this system, could save up to 1 GB of space on their devices, where the highlight was that they could share a large number of files without having to use data.

If you are one of those interested, Files Go is now ready to be downloaded and used all over the world for users of phones with Android 5.0 or newer versions. Remember that it must also be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

GoodBye Chrome Apps! Google Removes Chrome Apps Section

Recently, the developers of Google Chrome, of course, the tech giant Google have officially announced that they will stop offering applications for its own popular and most used browser, so they can no longer be downloaded from the Chrome Web Store and, in addition, they propose to replace them definitively with the PWAs or Progressive Web Applications.

GoodBye Chrome Apps! Google Removes Chrome Apps Section

The developers of Google Chrome, of course, the tech giant Google have officially announced that they will stop offering applications for its own popular and most used browser, so they can no longer be downloaded from the Chrome Web Store and, in addition, they propose to replace them definitively with the PWAs or Progressive Web Applications.

Google Chrome will run out of apps in the short term

The applications for Chrome, the tech giant Google’s flagship web browser, were a solution designed by the developer to offer users an experience similar to that of a native app, but from all possible platforms that the browser can offer.

Thus, anyone could download from the Chrome Web Store several tools that were then located in a specific section of the browser where there will be an application launcher will be created simply to access them easily.

The proposal also consisted of several of these applications could have the option of working offline, but then it was found that the vast majority did not meet these requirements, but can create simple direct access to the websites of all of them.

Consequently, there was very little penetration by users. Personally, there have been very few applications that I considered totally “native” and that offered me a pleasant experience, beyond the shortcuts.

Even now, the tech giant Google itself recognizes that only 1% of Windows, Mac and Linux users actively use Chrome applications. That’s why the tech giant Google will now stop offering and will be relegated as functions of Chrome OS.

The tech giant Google’s proposal: turn to PWAs

As we said, the browser applications of Mountain View, of course, the tech giant Google’s Chrome browser will no longer be compatible and will no longer be offered in the store created for that purpose. However, the extensions used by the browser will continue to be maintained for users.

Furthermore, existing applications will remain accessible on all platforms, even with updates. But, by early 2018, users of these platforms will no longer be able to load Chrome apps.

In return, the tech giant Google wants developers to offer solutions under other types of applications, PWAs. What is PWA? The Progressive Web Applications (for short) are a new generation of applications that increase its functionality, as device capabilities in running.

For this, they use concepts such as responsive web design (adapted to all types of platforms, both web and mobile), execute services in the background and use the App Shell model to separate the application between functionality and content and upload them separately.

These new applications are able to offer a better user experience both on the web and on mobile devices, so they would be highly functional to the interests of the developer. It will be time for developers to use this concept of development and begin to see them replicated in the browser.

So, what do you think about this initiative which is taken by the tech giant Google for its most used and popular web browser, Chrome? Simply share all your views and thoughts in the comment section below.

This Android App Leaked The Personal Data Of 31 Million Users

If we look around, the threat of malware and viruses becoming more and more dangerous every day. As recently, a well-known application for Android has leaked the personal data of more than 31 million users, and not only that even this application is also available for iOS as well.

This Android App Leaked The Personal Data Of 31 Million Users

If we look around, the threat of malware and viruses becoming more and more dangerous every day. In such cases, proper Antivurs solutions become our best friend. However, just imagine, what if the protector of your digital friend can’t be trusted?

As the well-known Russian Antivirus, Kaspersky CEO Eugene Kaspersky said that he would leave Russia if the government asked Kaspersky to spy on users. Eugene made the statement during a news conference in the United Kingdom after a media avalanche initiated by the FBI (Federal Bureau Of Investigation).

Again the mobile operating system is par excellence news. We had not talked about a security problem for a long time. Many applications available for Android devices do not have adequate security. Users of a keyboard developed by the company AI.Type has been affected by a security failure in the company’s databases.

Why did this happen, if it’s just a keyboard? The problem is that it had some function more than serving as software entry into the mobile operating system of Mountain View, Android. To be more exact, the keyboard has served as a keylogger, allowing the collection of the information entered in each device and its subsequent sending to the MongoDB databases, not highlighting its good security configuration.

577 GB compiled by this keyboard for Android

We have talked about a number of devices over 30 million. However, in what size database does it alter to? The security experts of the Kromtech company have estimated that the figure would be higher than the 577 GB of information contained in the MongoDB database exposed. They indicate that at least six million entries in this database have the name and surname of the person, the contact telephone number and the email address.

From the commercial point of view, this has a great outlet in the black market, about this time, where spam campaigns are the order of the day. Many users wonder why they receive emails of this type if they do not subscribe or sign up for a suspicious service. Here we have the answer.

Full access to the device

On more than one occasion we have indicated that it is fundamental to review the permissions requested by the application that is being installed. Many users do not set and video games, video applications or keyboards for the operating system request too many permissions, which results in unnecessary access to information and hardware equipment.

The Android keyboard of the AI.Type company claims access to the information that is being entered through the keyboard. The operating system itself warns the user that this aspect could be a problem for security.

What is really striking is that this software is also available for iOS and with a broad request for permissions in the system. At the moment it is not known if the collection affects only the users of the mobile operating system of Mountain View, of course, here we are indicating Android.

So, what do you think about this massive data breach? Simply share all your views and thoughts in the comment section below.

Google Just Launched A New Operating System For Smartphones

The tech giant Google has always sought to lighten its operating system, of course, Android so that it can be used on any hardware, with more or fewer resources, in a fluid and functional way. Hence, now it has created a new version of Android or you can say that it is a light version of Android.

Google Just Launched A New Operating System For Smartphones

The tech giant Google has just officially launched Go Edition, the version of Android Oreo aimed at smartphones or mobile phones with limited features. In this way, the developer intends to update and offer support to a universe of terminals that -in general- tend to be adrift in terms of updates.

Go Edition, Android’s solution to limited-performance smartphones

Mobile telephony has been characterized, with the emergence of smartphones, to offer alternatives to all consumers under different ranges of models. Thus, we always find a low, a medium and a high range.

In the upper range, we find the flagship smartphones of the manufacturers, which contain the best technology that year can offer developers. On the average, there are teams that offer a balance in the cost – performance ratio and that often fall within the support plans offered by the companies.

Finally, there is a low range, aimed primarily at those who look for more than affordable smartphones, without putting the emphasis on technical specifications. The latter end up being left out of the future plans of the manufacturer and are very soon left behind without updates, as far as the software is concerned.

It is for that reason that Android developers have officially launched Android Oreo Go Edition, a version of the mobile operating system for terminals with basic features or you can say that device with basic specs and limited feature. The aim is, undoubtedly, not to leave these terminals abandoned in obsolete versions of software that can mean, for example, security and performance problems.

Source: Android.com

As detailed by several reliable sources, Android Oreo Go Edition is already available as part of the update to Android 8.1 and is specially designed for terminals of 1GB of RAM or less, which are the ones that will receive this version.

Optimized applications for better performance

Go Edition was born as a solution to the process of updates and bases its existence on three fundamental pillars: improvements in the performance of smartphones under this distribution and an optimized storage, suitable and optimized apps for this segment and, in addition, a Google Play Store version that will allow the user to download applications designed to work better on Android Go.

It is important to highlight the importance that the developer is giving this version to the proprietary applications of Google, which have been optimized so that they can work correctly in low-end and mid-range models with limitations.

For this to work, the developer has emphasized better management of resources that are vital to the performance of the mobile phone: RAM, internal storage and security.

Therefore, in the new version of the operating system applications can operate 15 percent faster and, in addition, applications that come pre-installed factory occupy half the space than higher terminals.

So, what do you think about this new version of Android Oreo Go edition? Simply leave us each one of your views and thoughts in the comments section below.

Android 8.1 Oreo Rolling Out! Check Out The Supported Devices

It was about a week ago that the tech giant Google made available the second test version of Android 8.1 Oreo. Today, as promised, the tech giant Google has made the final Android 8.1 Oreo and is about to get the new Go Edition version.

The tech giant Google has officially submitted to Android 8.1 Oreo, the first major update to its mobile operating system. With the arrival of this “stable” version, improvements are introduced and, in addition, some new features that users will love.

These are the news that comes with Android 8.1 Oreo

The time for speculation and development versions is over. The Mountain View presented today the first major update of its mobile operating system, which comes with some developments related, among other things, to the optimization of software for smartphones cameras.

And not only that, it was also announced along with this update optimized distribution for low-end devices, Android Oreo Go Edition, which includes improving the performance of mobile phones with RAM of 1GB or less.

But with regard to the higher version, Android 8.1 Oreo, the stable version comes with the enabling of the Pixel 2 visual core chip. This chip will allow third-party applications to use the HDR+ of the main camera in apps such as Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook.

In addition, the notification bar has been redesigned, the location of gestures has been changed, an API (Application Programming Interface) has been introduced to manage neural networks in the system and improvements in security to the system.

Other notable improvements that we find in this update are the bug fixes, the change in the hamburger emoji, software additions such as the battery level of connected Bluetooth devices, space reduction of inactive applications and performance improvements of the batteries.

Password autocompletion is also improved; stability in the fingerprint reader support is improved; Sound failures reported in equipment such as the Pixel 2 XL and the Nexus 5X are remedied.

However, let’s know in brief what’s new in Android 8.1 Oreo. After the beta versions made available, Google has now made available the Android 8.1 Oreo that is already available for smartphones of the range Pixel and Nexus.

The novelties are not exactly many, but it is necessary to emphasize:-

• The integration of the “Neural Network API” (NNAPI), directed to new applications and services that make use of machine learning;
• Improvements were also implemented in the system self-completion framework;
• The new Pixel 2 smartphones also support the Visual PixelCore – To improve image processing and machine learning support. For example, with support for Pixel Visual Core, you can 
  process HDR+ images faster (up to 5x) and 1/10 of power consumption;
• Browsers will have more security mechanisms;
• It will be possible to see the battery level of devices that are connected via Bluetooth and that are connected to the smartphone;
• Sound problems verified on Nexus 5X, Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have been fixed;
• Significant security improvements through fingerprint reading
• Fixes of hamburger emojis and beer.

Moreover, the first devices that will receive the update will be the tech giant Google’s flagship terminals. That is: the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, Pixel and Pixel XL of first generation, the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, Pixel C. These smartphones will begin in these hours to receive the new version, while there is no detail yet on when the rest of the manufacturers will deploy Android 8.1 Oreo on their smartphones.
