Nearly two years ago, Samsung announced a partnership with AMD that would allow Samsung to use AMD RDNA silicon in SoC designs in around 2 years. Samsung announced at the end of the Exynos 2100 presentation that Samsung is still on track to deliver Radeon equipped SoCs rather soon. Unfortunately, the Exynos 2100 does not feature RDNA silicon; but if things go to plan, the next Samsung SoC after the Exynos 2100 should be equipped with a Radeon chip.
This should be rather exciting for both Samsung and AMD, Samsung needs a more powerful graphics processor in its Exynos chips to combat competitors like the industry-leading Adreno GPUs packed inside Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SOCs. Hopefully blending RDNA with Samsung’s future Exynos SoCs gives the company what it needs in terms of raw GPU horsepower.
This partnership also a great opportunity from AMD’s perspective, AMD is now one of the only chip makers in the world to have products in both the x86 and ARM landscape, which should benefit the company significantly in the future. ARM is slowly becoming more dominant in the computing landscape as ARM processors become more and more capable.
For years, competitive gaming has done its best to mimic professional sports, whether it’s players wearing Nike jerseys, big-name celebrity investors, or ambitious plans for home-and-away games. But Chris Greeley, commissioner of the League of Legends Championship Series — the game’s top professional league in North America — believes that esports has moved beyond mimicking existing sports.
“We had this idea in the beginning that, because esports is a sport, and we wanted to be taken seriously, we should look like a sport,” he tells The Verge. “The LCS looked like the NBA on TNT. It was great for validation and for investors and sponsors to look and say ‘Hey, this looks just like a sport, therefore this is an easy translation.’ But we’ve outlived that.”
So starting in 2021, the league is making some big changes, both in terms of how it looks and how it’s structured. “We feel like we’re finally free to be ourselves,” Greeley says.
The most obvious change is visual. The league has a new logo — it’s a crystal made of the letters LCS — and a refreshed graphic design for broadcasts. Whereas the previous logo was a shield that wouldn’t have looked out of place in college football, the new one clearly represents a video game. It follows similar redesigns for the other top League competitions around the world, including Europe, China, and Korea.
(Greeley says the logo has received a mixed reaction from fans so far — which was expected. “People hate change. We’ve seen it from pretty much every esports rebrand,” he says, adding “You don’t want [a logo that] looks like it came off of a can of soup. It has to be resonant.”)
The idea behind the refresh, he says, is to give the LCS its own distinct voice in an increasingly crowded field. “It’s not just about a new color or a new logo, but it really is about how we’re going to follow with our broadcast and our content,” he says. “You’re not going to tune in this week and see a finished product. We’ll be iterating over the next year or two, but I think this is a really great start.”
To go along with this, the LCS is also introducing some major format changes, with a bigger focus on tournaments, including one to kick off the year that starts on January 15th. Previously, the competition closely resembled something like the NFL, with a slate of regular season matches culminating in the playoffs; the best teams then moved on to international competitions. The goal is to find a balance between the thrill of knockout tournaments and the familiarity of regular season play. “Tournaments are exciting,” Greeley explains. “The problem is, if everything is a tournament, if everything is meant to feel exciting, then nothing feels exciting.”
Despite problems caused by the pandemic, the LCS — along with many other esports leagues — experienced tremendous growth in terms of viewership last year. But the league struggled on a competitive level. At the annual League of Legends World Championship, North American teams were far behind the competition and didn’t pose much of a threat to the big clubs from Europe, China, and Korea. Much of the blame was put on the region’s developmental scene. Instead of encouraging up-and-coming local players, many LCS teams relied on aging or imported stars.
The league is hoping to change that with a revamped amateur system, with the goal of opening things up, so that the developmental squads for each LCS team — known as academy teams — are able to play in different tournaments against other amateur and college teams. This will culminate in an end-of-year tournament called LCS Proving Grounds.
According to Greeley, these changes were in the works prior to Worlds — but the feedback was still welcome. “The criticism around the need for NA to make changes to develop players, that actually was satisfying to hear, because I knew this was coming,” he says of the amateur changes. “We hadn’t announced it, it was nearly final at that point, but we were just figuring out how we were going to roll it out. When you’re developing a solution, and then everyone stands up and says ‘We need a solution,’ and it’s done and ready to show, that’s actually a pretty good feeling.”
2021 will also see the league continue to operate remotely. Typically, LCS matches take place in a Los Angeles studio with fans in attendance. That obviously hasn’t been possible during the pandemic, but Greeley says that this could slowly change throughout the year. The first step is to get the broadcast team in the building, and the hope is that by the time playoffs come around, players can be present as well. Viewers, meanwhile, will likely have to stick to watching on Twitch and YouTube.
“We’re not rushing getting fans back into the arena,” Greeley says.
Nvidia officially announced its upcoming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB graphics card today, which won’t go on sale until late February. That hasn’t stopped Nvidia’s partners from revealing a variety of models, and Asus is joining us for a livestream on the Tom’s Hardware YouTube and Facebook at 1pm PST, 4pm EST today to talk about its upcoming GPUs and show off some of the designs. Join us live, and you can ask questions during the show.
Getting over to the products announced today, Asus has six different models planned right now, and more may come in the future. All share the same basic specs of 12GB GDDR6 memory and the RTX 3060 GPU, though clock speeds, video ports and particularly the cooler design vary. For each of the product families, Asus offers a standard edition and an overclocked OC edition.

At the top of the stack is the ROG Strix, with plenty of RGB lighting and a triple fan cooler. It also has two HDMI 2.1 ports and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. Asus hasn’t revealed clock speeds yet, but it’s a safe bet the Strix will be the highest clocked option. The card sports a 2.7-slot thick cooler, and there’s a metal backplate with an airflow cutout at the back of the card. It also has a dual BIOS switch, allowing you to easily change between quiet and performance operating modes.
One step down from the Strix is the TUF Gaming OC model, which looks very similar in many aspects to the Strix, but without a lot of the RGB lighting. It still has the same port configuration (2 HDMI 2.1 ports and 3 DP1.4a) and triple fans and looks to be 2.7-slots wide as well, but it probably comes clocked slightly lower.
If you’re after a more compact design, the Asus Dual cards drop down to a dual-fan arrangement and feature a 2-slot design, with a single HDMI 2.1 port and triple DP 1.4a connections. The Dual family also skips the dual BIOS configuration and only features a very small strip of RGB lighting on the front of the card. While performance and temperatures won’t be quite as high as the TUF and Strix models, if you’re after an affordable alternative, these should be great options.
All of the Asus cards feature a single 8-pin power connector, and while Nvidia and Asus haven’t publicly released official TDP information, word on the street is that RTX 3060 will be a 170W part. (The RTX 3060 Ti by comparison is a 200W part.) Based on specs, we anticipate the RTX 3060 will be around 15% slower than the 3060 Ti, but because it has 12GB of VRAM, there may be occasions where the gap is less than that.
Of course the big question is whether supply can possibly hope to meet demand. Based on the current market situations, that seems highly unlikely, but we’d love to be surprised. It’s virtually impossible to find a decent price on the best graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD, including various RTX 30-series graphics cards, though setting up notifications can help. Basically the top third or more of the GPU benchmarks hierarchy is either sold out or overpriced. We do know a few people that have managed to purchase cards, but patience is still very much required.
If you have other questions you’d like to ask Asus, hop on the livestream above and fire away.
AT&T TV Now is no more. New customers can no longer sign up for telecom’s skinny bundle TV service, similar to YouTube TV or Hulu with Live TV.
Instead, customers can only sign up for AT&T TV. Simply put: AT&T now has one virtual TV service instead of two. Existing customers will be able to continue accessing the service and shouldn’t experience any disruptions, a spokesperson told Variety.
AT&T has rolled in parts of AT&T TV Now into AT&T TV, including getting rid of the annual contract and not requiring people to own the AT&T TV hardware. Instead, people can use their own compatible devices (Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, etc.) to stream, according to AT&T’s website. There are three different pricing tiers that customers can choose from depending on what channels they want, including add-ons like additional sports and premium channels like HBO. Prices range from $70 to $95, more than double AT&T TV Now’s original starting price.
“We’re bringing more value and simplicity by merging these two streaming services into a single AT&T TV experience,” Vince Torres, senior vice president of marketing at AT&T, told Variety.
AT&T TV Now has been a tumultuous bet, even if you look beyond the fact that AT&T took an already confusing naming scheme (DirecTV and DirecTV Now) and made it even worse (they became AT&T TV and AT&T TV Now, respectively, in 2019). Launched in 2016 at $35 a month for 65 channels, the idea was to hop on the cord-cutting trend. It worked for a minute, but as AT&T faced continuous rising costs, licensing woes, and increased competition from new players, numbers started dropping.
The light blue box keeps shrinking.
In September 2018, AT&T TV Now controlled 25 percent of internet TV subscriber market share; by September 2020, that dropped to just 8 percent, according to data from analytical firm Antenna. While Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, and Fubo are all seeing some growth, AT&T TV Now has radically shrunk. Throw in rising prices and channel blackouts caused over licensing disagreements, and it’s not difficult to see why AT&T TV Now failed.
AT&T TV Now went from a peak of 1.86 million customers in the third quarter of 2018 to less than 685,000 in September 2020. More often than not, trying to find the balance between the cost to run skinny bundle TV services and keeping monthly subscription prices low results in a path to a profitless future. Even if former AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson thought otherwise.
“[We are absolutely convinced that this is going to be very, very attractive for a large group of customers who really aren’t even in the market today,” Stephenson said in 2016 ahead of DirecTV Now’s (then AT&T TV Now) launch, according to Variety.
The second season of the Call of Duty League will begin play next month. Today, Activision Blizzard announced that the CDL regular season for 2021 will kick off with an opening event from February 11th–14th, though the actual schedule and matchups have yet to be determined.
The league debuted last year with an ambitious plan to blend city-based teams with esports, similar to the Overwatch League. However, due to the pandemic, the CDL — along with most other competitive gaming leagues — was forced to shift to an online format. The season culminated with a championship weekend in August where the Dallas Empire won a literal throne.
The 2021 season will introduce a few changes, including 4 vs. 4 gameplay and a shift to PC. There will also be a new team among the 12 CDL clubs: the Los Angeles Thieves will replace Optic Gaming Los Angeles. Like last year, all games will be broadcast exclusively on YouTube.
While the season won’t start until next month, a preseason event will take place on January 23rd and 24th, where fans from the top three teams last year — Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago — will be able to vote on who they play against.
After AMD launched its first Zen 3 processors in the desktop in September, the move into the notebook follows today. As expected, AMD launched its mobile Ryzen processors from the 4000 generation announced. Many details about the individual models were not revealed, however, they were optimistic about the future of the notebook market.
Thanks to the Zen-3 Architecture, which we already presented in detail in October, and the advanced 7 nm production are among the fastest and most efficient notebook processors. If you take a look at Intel, which started yesterday with Tiger-Lake-H in the 35 – W-Class were started, one should especially with the Multicore performance scores, because the new Ryzen CPUs add eight cores to the scales even in the ultrabook version. No wonder that the benchmarks that AMD presented on the online stage in the evening are particularly convincing in this discipline.
According to our own benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 U compared to an Intel Core i7 – 1185 G7 for video encoding with a performance plus of full 44% can exceed. In normal office applications, however, the difference in our own AMD measurements drops to 7%. Despite the high number of cores and the very hungry 44 + W, AMD speaks of long runtimes and gives about 17, 5 battery life, but without going into detail. The HX models should deliver even more performance, which should not only be among the top models in terms of clock rate, but should also be their own for overcoking fans thanks to the open multiplier.
Many technical key data Unfortunately, AMD did not deliver during the presentation. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980 HX will be the field the mobile Ryzen – 5000 – cite processors first. It offers eight cores and 15 Threads, which should reach up to 4.8 GHz in boost and which on a 20 MB cache memory can be used. The TDP is given with typical 45 + W on. A Vega 8 is also integrated. The Ryzen 9 is positioned below it 5900 HX, which at 200 MHz boosts more slowly, but otherwise has the same key data as the top model. The already mentioned Ryzen 7 5800 U also offers eight cores and 16 threads, but has to be content with a maximum clock of 4.4 GHz. It should become the bread-and-butter model in AMD-based gaming notebooks.
Among them, AMD is a smaller series representative like a Ryzen 5600 U or 5600 H (S) down to Ryzen 3 5300 U who have to make do with six or even four Zen 3 cores and a Vega 3 graphic. We have made a table with the most important key data of the new models for comparison:

Operators of online platforms in the EU must in future delete “terrorist content” within an hour by order of any authorities from a member state without judicial approval. The lead committee for civil liberties, justice and home affairs of the EU Parliament voted on Monday for the draft of a corresponding regulation. 54 MPs were for, 13 against with one abstention.
Negotiators from Parliament, the Council of Ministers and the Commission agreed on the details of the draft in December after a long dispute. The deletion requests can relate to texts, images as well as audio or video recordings including live streaming that incite or contribute to terrorist acts or contain instructions such as for the construction of bombs or firearms. Calls to join a terrorist organization are also affected.
Internet platforms are not generally obliged to monitor content. However, if they are principally exposed to terrorist content, they must take special measures to protect their services from being spread. The companies should decide for themselves which instruments to use. It is not expressly specified to use “automated tools”. The MEPs campaigned for this clause to make the upload filters feared as “censorship machines” at least not compulsory.
Also outside the EU The deletion orders can also be directed against service providers such as Amazon, Facebook, Google with YouTube or Twitter, who have their headquarters outside the EU. Operators of online forums on which users are allowed to leave comments or upload content are also included. The country in which the host provider is located should check foreign deletion requests for their legality and confirm or reject them within 24 hours. In the latter case, the operator would only have to block access to the reported content in the country that made the request.
If a deletion request contains serious errors, legal clarification is possible. Small and medium-sized companies are required to delete terrorist propaganda “as soon as possible” without a strict time limit if they can prove operational reasons for such an exception. If an authorized authority issues a deletion order to a provider for the first time, it should generally inform the provider at least twelve hours in advance about the procedure and applicable deadlines. The requests may not relate to journalistic and artistic content as well as polemical and satirical expressions of opinion.
Criticism of civil rights activists The French civil rights organization La Quadrature du Net criticizes the decision that the one-hour deadline is unrealistic and difficult to meet. Service providers and website operators would be forced to “proactively censor all potentially illegal content” due to the threat of high fines. To do this, they are likely to use “automated mass surveillance tools developed by Google and Facebook”. Such power transferred to the police could lead to the censorship of political opponents and social movements. The French Constitutional Court overturned a comparable national regulation in June.
Despite important partial successes achieved by Parliament, “the ultra-fast cross-border deletion orders without a judge’s reservation threaten the freedom of opinion and freedom of the press on the Internet”, complained the MEP Patrick Breyer from the Pirate Party. The Greens group, which the lawyer has joined, therefore voted against the project. Unfortunately, such censorship threatens to catch on, as it is likely to be introduced in general with the Digital Services Act (DSA). The Council and the parliamentary plenary still have to confirm the draft, for which the committee recommendation is an important preliminary decision.
If you’ve been pining for one of the new best graphics cards for the past several months, we feel your pain. Unfortunately, things aren’t looking any better this side of 2020 than they were last month.
We’re doing livestreams on the Tom’s Hardware YouTube channel and Facebook all this week with various tech companies to check out their latest products. Ed Crisler, Sapphire Technology North American PR rep, joined us to talk about GPUs and graphics cards, and we covered a range of topics, including the perfect storm of events that has brought us massive GPU shortages, cryptocurrency mining and more. It’s all part of our CES 2021 coverage.
Crisler spoke frankly with us about the confluence of events that has brought us to this point. COVID is obviously the biggest factor, but its influence extends far beyond lockdowns and social distancing measure. Closed factories, market uncertainty and shipping difficulties have combined with unprecedented levels of demand for PC hardware to create shortages that may last until this summer.
Oh, and Bitcoin and the coin miners aren’t going to help the situation.
We also talked about GPU overclocking, ray tracing, DLSS, image quality and Sapphire’s TriXX Boost that helps improve performance for a minor drop in fidelity.
Check out the video above for more, and take a look at our CES livestream schedule for additional coverage from the show.
Even if many players currently have to wait for their next-gen console from Sony, all gamers who already own a PlayStation 5, look forward to future games. So that the wait is over soon, Sony has now announced various release dates. On the occasion of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2021 the Japanese published a corresponding trailer.
It starts on 20. January 2021 with the third part of Hitman. The third-person horror shooter Returnal will be released from 19. March 2021 and released exclusively on the PlayStation 5. Also in March 2020 will be released Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Solar Ash can be played from June 2021. A month later, the starting shot for Little Devil Inside is given. After the summer, Ghostwire: Tokyo and Stray will continue in October. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Horizon Forbidden West were only announced for the current calendar year. It is not yet known when exactly said titles will appear.
The open-world RPG Project Athia developed by Square Enix will not be released until next year, Pragmata even only in the year 2023. So gamers have to wait a little longer before the Sci-Fi adventure from Capcom can be played on both the PC and the PlayStation 5. This title caused quite a stir even before the console release due to its trailer. Capcom is currently largely silent and has not yet disclosed much information about the upcoming title. However, with a planned publication in the year 2023 there is still some time and so can change over time change many elements in the game mentioned.
However, there will be many more in the year 2021 Give games for the next generation of consoles. Among other things, we can look forward to a new God of War part for the PS5.

Lenovo has long been on the even with the business-oriented ThinkPads : 9 display held. The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 and X1 Yoga Gen 6 models now receive at least 16: 10 displays – but some users might still want more vertical space. At CES, the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, the first ThinkPad model with a 3: 2 display, was presented.
The 3: 2 format has been given a significant boost by Microsoft’s Surface products receive. It has its advantages especially in productive work. And this is precisely what Lenovo’s business notebooks from the ThinkPad series are primarily intended for. The ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is by no means a classic notebook workhorse, but with its 256 – degree hinge a 2-in -1, which can also be used as a tablet. Thanks to a display lid made of titanium, it should have its very own look. The construction height of just over 10 mm contributes to an elegant appearance. The weight should be only 1, 15 kg. This is made possible on the one hand by the display lid made of titanium, on the other hand also by the use of other lightweight materials such as carbon and magnesium.

Lenovo relies on Intel’s Evo- vPro platform. A Core i7 vPro should be able to be configured at most. He is supported by a maximum of 16 GB LPDDR4-RAM. The PCIe SSD can be configured with a maximum capacity of 1 TB. The 13, 5-inch display of the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is Dolby Vision certified and solves with 2. 256 x 1. 504 pixels. Various Lenovo input pens can be used in combination with this touch display. The notebook keyboard can be illuminated. Lenovo has only integrated two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headphone jack into the slim notebook case. W-LAN is offered with Wi-Fi 6 support, 5G is at least optional. The 44, 5 Wh battery should be up to 10, hold out for 9 hours.
Lenovo wants orders for the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga in this Accept month. The starting price is specified with 2 44 Euro.
Wi-Fi 6 is still a long way from being established, as Wi-Fi 6E is already in the starting blocks. With the Nighthawk RAXE 500 Netgear has now introduced what it claims to be the first Wi-Fi 6E router.
Regular Wi-Fi 6 is still limited to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band. Only at the end 2020 were additional frequency ranges in the 6 GHz band released for W-LAN use in Germany. This is exactly what Wi-Fi 6E should now benefit from as a supplement to the Wi-Fi 6 standard. The 6 GHz band is intended to improve network capacity, especially in areas where the frequency ranges that have been used up to now are already heavily used. Netgear’s newer 12 – Stream Tri-Band WiFi Router Nighthawk RAXE 500 should be able to exploit this advantage. The manufacturer then promises a larger available frequency spectrum accordingly. With the supervision of low latencies, gamers are lured by the few devices in the 6 GHz band. Netgear specifies the maximum transmission speed as 10, 8 Gbit / s.

Samsung is having a launch event today, revealing one of the most important parts of the upcoming Galaxy S21 series (for most of the world anyway). We are about to witness the debut of the Exynos 2100 chipset that is the company’s most promising SoC in recent years.
The fact that Samsung chose to hold a dedicated event for it instead of just issuing a press release speaks volumes on the importance of the 5nm flagship chipset to the company. The unveiling will take place online and begin at 11 PM KST / 9 AM EST (2 PM UTC). We have embedded a YouTube video below, and you can find a direct link in our Source at the end of this article.
During the event, we expect to see the Exynos 2100’s CPU with one ultra-high-performance Cortex-X1 core at 2.9 GHz, three Cortex-A78s clocked at 2.8 GHz, and a cluster of four power-efficient Cortex-A55 units running at 2.4 GHz.
There will be an integrated 5G modem, ensuring better packaging and higher power-efficiency.
The Exynos 2100 is about to become the second 5nm chipset by Samsung after the Exynos 1080, introduced late in 2020 and already part of the vivo X60 series.
