Nvidia's GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs are powered by the company's Ampere architecture. The GeForce RTX 3090, 3080 and 3070 GPUs offer up to 2x the performance and 1.9x the power efficiency over the previous Turing-based generation. The GPUs take advantage of the second-generation Nvidia RTX PC gaming platform to provide real-time ray tracing and AI gaming. The RTX 30 series was unveiled during a virtual launch event by Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang, who also announced that Fortnite is turning on RTX real-time ray tracing, adding four ray-traced features for a more immersive gaming experience, including reflections, shadows, global illumination and ambient occlusion.

Apple's HomePod mini is the newest addition to the HomePod family. At just 3.3 inches tall, the HomePod mini comes with technologies and advanced software that together enable computational audio to deliver breakthrough audio quality. The HomePod mini is designed to work with Apple Music, podcasts, radio stations and in the coming months, popular music services including Pandora and Amazon Music. Multiple HomePod mini speakers work together to stream music or podcasts to multiple rooms. By placing two HomePod mini speakers in a single room, a stereo pair can be created.

Apple's AirPods Pro features Active Noise Cancellation and immersive sound in a new lightweight, in-ear design. Active Noise Cancellation on the AirPods Pro uses two microphones combined with advanced software to continuously adapt to each individual ear and headphone fit. This removes background noise to provide a uniquely customized, superior noise-canceling experience that allows users to focus on what they are listening to. The first microphone is outward-facing and detects external sound to analyze environmental noise. The AirPods Pro then creates an equivalent anti-noise that cancels out background noise before it reaches the listeners' ears. A second inward-facing microphone listens toward the ear, and the AirPods Pro cancels remaining noise detected by the microphone. Noise cancellation continuously adapts the sound signal 200 times per second, said Apple
