Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon 855 SoC

Qualcomm just opened its annual Technology Summit and one of the big announcements on the first day is its next-generation mobile platform, the Snapdragon 855. It’s the company’s first major 5G platform. Technically, the X50 modem works with the Snapdragon 845 and 835, this new processor will most likely power the upcoming 5G-ready smartphones. The chip also packs in Qualcomm’s fourth generation AI Engine, which promises up to three times better AI performance than previous chips. This means we could see improvements when it comes to smart assistants, biometric security, image processing, and object recognition. The Snapdragon 855 also comes with Qualcomm’s Computer Vision ISP, which is supposed to be a boon for computational photography and video capture capabilities.

Aside from the AI improvements, Qualcomm’s 3D Sonic Sensor is coming to the Snapdragon 855. Instead of using optical or capacitive technology, the sonic sensor will make use of ultrasound waves to get fingerprint details. It’s designed to work through multiple layers, including glass, for more discrete implementations.

Bethesda will actually ship canvas bags for ‘Fallout 76’ Power Armor Edition buyers

Not as advertised, this was the bag Power Armor Edition buyers were getting

Buyers of the US $200 Power Armor Edition box for Fallout 76 were not happy when they received the bundle and found a rather cheaply-built nylon bag in place of what was promised to be a “West Tek Canvas Carrying Bag.” Last week, Bethesda tried to get back into the good graces of the players by giving them 500 atoms (in-game currency worth around US $5) to make up for it. But now it looks like they’re going to live up to their word. Bethesda announced on Twitter that it is “finalizing manufacturing plans for replacement canvas bags” and those who bought the Collector’s Edition should fill out a ticket by the end of January. The developer didn’t say when the bags will be shipping, but at the very least they’re living up to what was promised.
