Dimensity 7000’s specs surface: 2.75 GHz CPU, new GPU
The CPU will have two clusters of four cores each – one running at 2.75GHz, the other at 2.0GHz. The four powerful cores will be of the Cortex-A78, while the other four, dedicated to efficiency, will be Cortex-A55. This alignment of the CPU looks a lot like the Dimensity 1200, but instead of having the 1+3+4 setup, all four Cortex-A78 units will have equal clock speed.
The graphics will be handled Mali-G510 MC6 – it was announced by ARM in early 2021, but this is the first time we see it implemented in an actual smartphone chipset.
Our expectations are the Dimensity 7000 chipset to power mid-range smartphones. Mediatek hasn’t announced anything officially yet, but rumors suggest devices with this chip will arrive as early as Q1 2022.

Leak reveals Oppo foldable phone’s screen and camera details
The era of foldable phones is upon us and it’s no secret that every major OEM is working on a foldable phone of its own. Oppo is close to releasing its own and now reputable Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station confirms some of the specs.
It will be adopting an in-folding design like the Samsung Galaxy Fold line with the outer screen being locked at 60Hz with a centered punch-hole for the selfie camera and a slightly curved glass. The main, internal screen will use the same punch-hole selfie camera design and run at 120Hz. The punch-hole, however, will be placed in the upper-left corner. Of course, the fingerprint reader will be placed on the side.
The leak also details some of the camera specs. The front camera (the one placed on the outer screen) has a 32MP sensor while the back features a triple-camera setup with 50MP main unit. The camera bump will strongly resemble the one on the Reno6 series.

Here’s our first look at the upcoming Realme GT 2 Pro
As you can see in the attached renders (via 91mobiles), the Realme GT 2 Pro will feature a brand new design that looks a lot like the Huawei-made Nexus 6P. It features a raised horizontal camera bar near the top edge of the back panel. The edges of the camera bar merge smoothly with the back panel, like the camera module on the OPPO Find X3 Pro. The renders suggest that the device will feature a triple camera setup on the back, consisting of a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP telephoto shooter.
91mobiles further claims that the Realme GT 2 Pro will pack a 6.8-inch WQHD+ flat OLED display with a 120Hz peak refresh rate, Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship chip, 12GB RAM, and 256GB FS 3.1 storage. Over on the front, the device will reportedly pack a 32MP selfie shooter. The device will likely run Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 out of the box, and recent leaks suggest that it might feature 125W fast charging support. While the renders show the device in two color options, Realme might launch an additional Racing Yellow variant like the Realme GT.

Apple’s AirPower may not be completely dead yet
In Apple’s history of failures, AirPower has to be one of the most embarrassing ones. After the initial announcement in 2018, it took Apple a year to admit that the wireless charging mat just isn’t happening, for reasons that were never made entirely clear.
But AirPower may not be completely dead and buried. In his latest Power On newsletter (via MacRumors), Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that Apple is still working on a wireless charging mat of some sort. Details are slim, but the mat should be able to charge three devices at the same time (Apple currently sells the MagSafe Duo, which can charge two devices at once).

Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti could arrive with faster VRAM
Nvidia’s purported RTX 3090 Ti graphics card, the juiced-up flagship expected to arrive in January 2022, could come bristling with 21Gbps GDDR6X memory from Micron.
This comes from Taiwanese outlet Uniko’s Hardware on Twitter, which has been the source of a number of previous hardware leaks, as spotted by VideoCardz.
Currently, the RTX 3090 has 24GB of VRAM running at 19.5Gbps, so the memory being pushed a bit faster on the 3090 Ti would represent a nice little speed hike, while remaining at 24GB – but populated with 12 x 2GB modules with the Ti variant, as opposed to 24 x 1GB on the 3090.
Theoretically, the faster Micron RAM would mean that memory bandwidth would be pushed to just over 1TB/s – breaking that symbolic barrier – compared to 936GB/s with Nvidia’s current flagship.
VideoCardz further observes that the RTX 3090 Ti is rumored to have the full GA102 GPU with 10,752 CUDA cores (as opposed to 10,496 cores on the 3090), and it’ll feature a new board design with a different memory layout – and those 2GB modules – also with a new power connector (PCIe Gen5, perhaps).
The extra performance supposedly comes at an unsurprising price in terms of the power budget, with the TDP of the card expected to hit 450W rather than the base 350W of the existing RTX 3090. Ouch.

Nissan to invest $17.6 billion in EV development over the next five years
Nissan will invest 2 trillion yen ($17.6 billion) over the next five years developing new EVs and battery technology as part of a grand plan it calls “Ambition 2030,” the company announced. It aims to release 15 new EVs total by 2030, with electrified vehicles making up half its vehicle lineup at that point.
The automaker said it will develop 23 electrified vehicles in total over the next eight years, with 20 of those coming in the next five years alone. It’s shooting for a market mix of 75 percent electrified (EV and e-Power PHEV/hybrids) in Europe, 55 percent in Japan and 40 percent in the US and China by 2030.
