The Poco F8 Ultra sits atop the Poco portfolio, offering solid all-around performance at a sub-flagship price. But ever wondered what's inside, especially with the built-in subwoofer? Well, the guys at PBKreviews have done a complete teardown showing off the internals, and there are some interesting findings. Let's start with repairability. Previous Poco F generations have been criticized for being hard to repair, but the F8 Ultra appears to have improved on that aspect.
For starters, the Taycan's range increased from a maximum of 246 miles for model year 2024 to more than 300 miles for the current model year. Its peak charging rate also increased from 270 kilowatts to 320 kW, reducing the 10-80% charging time by roughly 3.5 minutes when plugged into a fast enough DC fast charger. Behind the scenes, Porsche made a raft of changes to make all of that possible.
Gaming handhelds are supposed to fit in your hands, but AMD's new Strix Halo processors generate serious heat and drain batteries faster than you can finish a boss fight. The GPD Win 5 and OneXFly Apex responded by strapping external battery packs to their backs, which works, but looks like your handheld is wearing a fanny pack in the wrong spot. It's practical but awkward, and it raises an obvious question: if you're adding external batteries anyway, why not just make the whole device bigger?
First off, the ProArt P16 has a lightweight physical design, making it easy to carry around. I found the keyboard to be too mushy for my liking. It doesn't have a great typing feel, but the keycaps are quiet, so that's a plus. The touchpad takes up a large portion of the wrist rest, enabling better comfort and ease of use. On either side of the keyboard is a pair of Harman/Kardon speakers delivering strong audio output.
At the AI Infra Summit this week, simulation savant Cadence added Nvidia's biggest iron, the GB200 NVL72 Superpod, to its digital twin fire. At roughly a megawatt, the compute cluster is among the GPU giant's most complex compute platforms to date. Each Superpod consists of eight 120 kilowatt NVL72 racks containing more than 500 Blackwell GPUs and 288 Grace CPUs capable of churning out a combined 11.5 exaFLOPS of the lowest-precision compute money can buy.
