Samsung Electronics has announced the availability of its latest application processor (AP), the Exynos 7 Series 9610, built using the company's 10nm FinFET process. The new Exynos 9610 supports deep learning-based visual processing, 480 fps slow-motion recording and other multimedia features in high-end smartphones, the company noted. Samsung's Exynos 9610 SoC consists of four Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2.3GHz and four ARM Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.6GHz, and features the second-generation Bifrost-based ARM Mali-G72 GPU. Samsung expects to enter mass production of the Exynos 7 Series 9610 chips in the second half of 2018.

Intel has unveiled the eighth-generation Intel Core processor with Radeon RX Vega M Graphics. Crafted for gamers, content creators and fans of virtual and mixed reality, it expands Intel's portfolio thanks to its optimization for small form factors like 2-in-1s, thin and light notebooks, and mini PCs. The new Intel Core processor will come in two configurations: Intel Core processor with Radeon RX Vega M GL Graphics (65W total package power) and Core processor with Radeon RX Vega M GH Graphics (100W total package power), which features an unlocked configuration Intel first shared initial details about this new addition to the eighth-generation Intel Core processor family in early November. It brings together the Intel quad-core CPU, Radeon RX Vega M graphics and 4GB of dedicated HBM2 using Intel's Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) technology. EMIB acts as a high-speed intelligent information bridge between the GPU and HBM2 and reduces the usual silicon footprint to less than half that of discrete components implemented separately.

Nvidia has added the new GeForce GTX 1070 Ti to its Pascal lineup of gaming GPUs, sliding in between the GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 GPUs. The new GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be available worldwide on November 2 at a suggested retail price of US$449. Featuring the Pascal GPU architecture, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti comes with 2,432 cores and 8GB of memory running at 8Gbps for a total bandwidth of 256GB/s. Nvidia has designed the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti to be overclockable and its partners have also built cards with thermals and power supplies that allow gamers to push performance past stock specifications, according to the vendor.
