Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 launch delayed

The launch of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 have been marred by the lack of inventory, sparking off some strong reaction from fans. At launch, the online sales ended within seconds with scalpers making off with most inventory and stores across the world didn’t have enough units to satiate all the gamers who wanted to get their hands on the Ampere based cards from Nvidia. Given the massive lashback, Nvidia has decided to delay the launch of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 GPU.

Nvidia published the update in a statement on their official website, stating that they understand that there should be more cards available at launch. The company says they have ramped up production and that the cards should now be available in much greater quantity on October 29, a day after AMD reveals their Big Navi GPUs.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 is expected to be a wildly popular GPU, given that Nvidia claims that the card matches and at times even exceeds the performance of the RTX 2080Ti. For reference, the RTX 3070 is priced at $499 while the RTX 2080Ti sold for more than twice that. In terms of specifications, the RTX 3070 sports 8GB of GDDR6 memory and 5888 CUDA cores. While the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 come with a new 12-pin power connector, the RTX 3070 sports an 8-pin connector. The base clock on the GPU is 1.5GHz with a boost clock of up to 1.73GHz. The RTX 3080 manufactured by AIB partners was recently discovered to be crashing in various instances, with the fault being zero’d down to the use of lower quality resistors to filter out electrical noise. It was also discovered that the crash only occurred if the offending card was going over its advertised boost clock. Hopefully, the RTX 3070 would not have such issues at launch.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro to sport 128GB storage on base variant

Some of the Apple fans who are eagerly awaiting the launch of the iPhone 12 series are allegedly going to be in for a treat. The Apple iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are alleged to have 128GB as the storage option for the base variant. This is twice the storage that the base variant of the iPhone 11 Pro shipped with last year.

The report comes courtesy Apple leakster John Prosser who tweeted out a number of details surrounding the upcoming iPhone 12 series. His tweet said that the iPhone 12 will start shipping to distributors on October 5th, with the launch event confirmed for October 13. Additionally, his tweet said that the smallest of the iPhone 12 models will be named the iPhone 12 mini. The non-pro models will start with 64GB storage on the base variant. Storage on the base variants has been a contentious part of owning an iPhone, given that users don’t have the ability to expand storage via the means of a microSD card. Given this, users who opt for the iPhone 12 Pro or the iPhone 12 Pro Max should be in for a treat with the increased storage on the base variant.

Apple’s first shipment of final iPhone 12 units is going out to distributers on October 5th The shipment includes: iPhone 12 mini 5.4 (Definitely the final marketing name) -64/128/256 iPhone 12 6.1 -64/128/256 Event on October 13, as I mentioned before.

Prosser states that the non-Pro models will top out at 256GB of storage, something that is consistent with the iPhone 11 as well, which shipped in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB flavours. However, it would be interesting to see if Apple increases the maximum storage on the Pro models from the existing 512GB to 1TB. Samsung had announced the production of 1TB storage chips for smartphones back in January of 2019, so the technology does exist to make it happen.

Apple is expected to announce the new iPhone 12 series of smartphones on October 13, a month later than the usual September announcement. The delay has been attributed to the COVID-19 outbreak which caused delays across the entire supply-chain, including testing of the 5G modem. Apple is expected to announce four models in the iPhone 12 series this year, two non-Pro models and two Pro models.
