New AMD graphics cards will arrive before the PS5 and Xbox Series X

AMD fatturato record
We've known for a while that AMD RDNA 2 would be powering both the next generation consoles and new graphics cards, but now it seems certain that Big Navi GPUs will arrive before the PS5 and Xbox Series X. 
This news comes out of the Bank of America Securities Global Technology Conference, where AMD CFO Devinder Kumar confirmed that the much-sought after Big Navi will be the first RDNA 2 based product. And, because we know that both next-generation consoles will be using AMD's next-generation GPU architecture and that these consoles will be coming out around November 2020, we'll likely be seeing a top-end GPU from AMD in the very near future. 
Right now, all the rumors are pointing to the high-end graphics card hitting the market in October, and we've even seen signs of the GPU popping up in Linux drivers of all things. The GPU can't come soon enough either: the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, the graphics card that the Big Navi flagship will likely tackle head-on, has been around since October 2018.
In the conference, Kumar even reinforced the target release window, and reassured both investors and computing enthusiasts that AMD is "on track to launch our next-generation Zen 3 CPUs and RDNA 2 GPUs in late 2020". If we had to guess, AMD will announce both its next-generation Ryzen 4000 desktop processors and RDNA 2 graphics cards in August or September, with actual retail availability following within a couple of months. 
So, if you've been waiting for these graphics cards so you can get in on the ray tracing action without going with an Nvidia Turing graphics card, it looks like you'll be able to get your hands on a beefy AMD graphics card in just a few months. Here's to hoping that these products hit the streets sooner rather than later.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
