AMD is preparing to expand its Ryzen 7000-series "Zen 4" desktop processor series with new SKUs, one of which is the Ryzen 7 7700 (non-X). Given past trends with non-X SKUs for the Ryzen 5000-series, the 7700 is very likely an OEM-only SKU to be featured in pre-built desktops. The inclusion of an iGPU with the Ryzen 7000-series changes things dramatically for AMD, as it makes these processors suitable for even home- and commercial desktops that lack discrete graphics. The Ryzen 7 7700 has the same 8-core/16-thread configuration as the Ryzen 7 7700X, but likely lower clock-speeds, due to the lower power-limits. The chip has a TDP of 65 W, compared to the 105 W of the 7700X; which means its package power tracking (PPT) power limit will be closer to 90 W, than the 140 W of the 7700X. This will also significantly lower the cooling requirements for the processor, and OEMs could use cost-effective air coolers. The exact clock-speeds, though, remain under the wraps.

Intel has announced the availability of its 12th Gen Intel Core SoC processors for IoT Edge. Representing a new lineup of purpose-built edge products optimized for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, this first-of-its-kind socketed system-on-chip (SoC) delivers high performance integrated graphics and media processing for visual compute workloads, a compact footprint to enable smaller innovative form factor designs, and a wide operating thermal design power (TDP) that enables fanless designs and helps customers achieve product sustainability goals.

"As the digitization of business processes continues to accelerate—fueled by workforce demand, supply chain constraints and changing consumer behavior—the amount of data created at the edge and the need for it to be processed and analyzed locally continues to explode. Intel understands the challenges that businesses face—across a wide range of vertical industries—and is committed to help them continue to deliver innovative use cases," said Jeni Panhorst, Intel vice president and general manager of the Network and Edge Compute Division.

ASUS today launched the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED (UX9702), the 17.3-inch foldable OLED laptop. To create this futuristic device, ASUS and Intel have developed industry-first solutions to advance innovation in the foldables category, including collaborations between domain experts and an ecosystem partnership. Zenbook 17 Fold OLED is a response to users' desires to achieve the ideal balance between mobility and productivity in their modern 24/7 lifestyles. ASUS engineers and designers worked seamlessly to create a device that delivers effortless efficiency with a modern minimalist design. It eliminates the need to compromise when working in different environments—in office, at home, while traveling or relaxing—by elegantly incorporating two screen sizes and multiple usage modes into one highly portable device.

This Intel Evo -certified foldable laptop offers users two sizes of OLED display in one device: a large 4:3 17.3-inch 2.5K touchscreen that folds in the middle to create two seamless 3:2 12.5-inch 1920 by 1280 displays. When folded fully closed along the precision-engineered 180° hinge—which is tested to withstand over 30,000 open-and-close cycles—it's an ultra-compact and portable 12.5-inch device that's smaller than a sheet of photocopier paper. Multiple versatile usage modes—Desktop, Laptop (with Bluetooth keyboard), Laptop (with virtual keyboard), Tablet, Reader and Extended—are enabled by the folding design in conjunction with the full-size ASUS ErgoSense Bluetooth keyboard and touchpad, and each screen can additionally be split into multiple windows and the contents arranged, using the intelligent window-management feature in the ASUS ScreenXpert 3 and exclusive Mode Switcher apps. Despite its versatility and large screen size, the device weighs just 3.31 lb without the keyboard, or 3.97 lb with it.

Belkin, a global consumer electronics leader, today announces the BOOST↑CHARGE PRO Dual USB-C GaN Wall Charger with PPS, available in 65 W and 45 W versions. The new wall chargers are now available to order on Belkin.com. The BOOST↑CHARGE PRO Dual USB-C GaN Wall Charger with PPS is engineered with GaN, USB-C PD 3.0 and PPS charging technologies to deliver a fast and safe charge that won't overheat or overcharge devices. It easily fits in a pocket or a bag, making it the ideal charger for traveling or when at home.

The wall charger is offered in a 65 W option to access up to 65 W of power when using a single port or up to 45 W of power from the top port and up to 20 W from the bottom port when using both. The 45 W version provides up to 45 W of power when using a single port or up to 25 W from the top port and up to 20 W from the bottom port when using both.

An Intel Core i9-13900 "Raptor Lake" (non-K) processor was spotted in the wild by Benchleaks. The non-K parts are expected to have 65 W Processor Base Power and aggressive power-management, compared to the unlocked i9-13900K, although the core configuration is identical: 8 P-cores, and 16 E-cores. Besides tighter power limits out of the box, and a locked multiplier, the i9-13900 also has lower clocks, with its maximum boost frequency for the P-cores set 5.60 GHz, compared to the 5.80 GHz of the i9-13900K. It's still a tad higher than the 5.40 GHz of the i7-13700K.

Tested in Geekbench 5.4.5, the i9-13900 scores 2130 points in the single-threaded test, and 20131 points in the multi-threaded one. Wccftech tabulated these scores in comparison to the current-gen flagship i9-12900K. The i9-13900 ends up 10 percent faster than the i9-12900K in the single-threaded test, and 17 percent faster in the multi-threaded. The single-threaded uplift is thanks to the higher IPC of the "Raptor Cove" P-core, and slightly higher boost clock; while the multi-threaded score is helped not just by the higher IPC, but also the addition of 8 more E-cores.

The Steam Deck is undoubtedly the most powerful handheld gaming console yet. And just like its close competitor Nintendo Switch, gamers were expecting a docking station from Steam so they could play their favorite games on bigger screens. However, the fans have only met disappointments as Steam keeps delaying the launch due to parts shortage. The delay has affected the gaming community as the launch was supposed to happen in spring 2022. However, a new 3rd party dock solution has emerged as a potential solution to gamers' woes; iVoler Steam Dock.

The iVoler team has been working diligently to release a 3rd party dock solution for Steam Deck for some time. They're happy to announce that their flagship device has finally hit the shelves and is currently available on Amazon in seven regions; US, CA, UK, DE, FR, IT, and ES. The iVoler 3rd party dock solution is a blessing for Steam Deck gamers as it supports up to 4K resolution @ 60 Hz, providing gamers with the best viewing angles and the most immersive gaming experience. It's a sleek and compact unit specifically engineered to accommodate Valve's handheld; even the design has a stark resemble with Steam's delayed docking solution. Plus, the team has paid close attention to making it more user-friendly and convenient.
