Nvidia recently took the world by announcing their new 10 Series GPUs. As Nvidia says " Gaming Perfected" The first to go on the floor was GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GTX 1080 but these were Desktop GPUs.

The GeForce GTX 1080 was first to have  vapor chamber cooling. The Founders Edition cards were priced higher than Standard Edition Cards. The  micro-architecture  of the GeForce 10 series is named Pascal, the 17th century French mathematician  Blaise Pascal  and was presented on May 6, 2016. What GTX 10 Series has New!!! CUDA  Compute Capability 6.0 (GP100 only), 6.1 (GP102, GP104, GP106, GP107) DisplayPort  1.4 HDMI  2.0b Fourth generation Delta Color Compression PureVideo  Feature Set H hardware video decoding HEVC Main10 (10bit), Main12 (12bit) & VP9 hardware decoding (GM200 & G

Sony has recently started using Mediatek SoCs on their mid-range devices the latest on was Xperia XA and now we have come across the its successor and lately a leaked video has been surfaced with a phone shown in full glory. Have a look here and decide if you like it or not!!!             The almost bezel display is  sure beautiful to look at but the top-bottom bezels kinda spoil the fun, but that in no where spoils the beauty of phone all together. But then again Sony are kind of known for absurd pricing their devices, lets hope they play fair with this one.
