Two matches, two wins for the Lionesses so far after victories over Scotland and Argentina. That means Phil Neville’s side are already into the last 16 and will be hoping to maintain their 100% Women's World Cup 2019 record against second-in-the group Japan. Will they carry on their perfect start, or will Japan nab top spot in Group D? Find out below how you can catch an England vs Japan live stream from anywhere around the world with our instructions below. Having lost to Japan in agonising fashion at the last World Cup, losing 2-1 in the semi-finals via an injury-time own goal, England will be out to make amends. The Lionesses go into the game boosted by the news that Barcelona forward Toni Duggan is fit again after missing the opening two matches due to a thigh injury, but will coach Phil Neville feel tempted to rotate a side that appears to be gelling at just the right time? On the evidence of their first two group matches, Japan's youthful squad don't look quite as capable as they were in the last Women's World Cup, but will likely provide a sterner test to England than Argentina and Scotland. They need a point to ensure they make it through to the next round. Don't miss any of the action by following the instructions below and grabbing a live stream of England vs Japan wherever you are in the world.

After debuting last month at an event in Valencia, Asus Zenfone 6 has finally made it to India as the Asus 6Z. The Taiwanese electronics manufacturer was restricted by the Delhi High Court from selling and marketing any products under the Zenfone branding. That's the reason behind the missing Zenfone moniker from its name at the India launch. With that aside, the Asus 6Z aims to rain on the parade of the regular OnePlus 7 as it has proven to be a competent rival to brands like the OnePlus, Samsung and Nokia since the past few years. Asus 6Z pricing and availabilityAsus is offering its latest flagship in three variants starting at Rs 31,999-- 6GB RAM + 64GB storage, 6GB RAM + 128GB storage at Rs 34,999 and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage at Rs 39,999. The Asus 6Z will go on its first sale on Flipkart starting June 26. Asus 6Z specificationsAsus 6Z features a 6.4-inch Full HD+ (2340 x 1080 pixels) IPS display, topped with a layer of Corning's Gorilla Glass 6. The screen is capable of reproducing 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut and HDR10 certified. There's no notch design on the front which makes for a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 640 GPU. This is paired with upto 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage with an option to further expand the storage via microSD card slot by upto 1TB. The phone has its main attraction in the form of a flip camera. Asus has fitted the 6Z with a motorized camera module which is set to the rear by default but flips up whenever the selfie camera button is triggered. The dual camera module consists of a 48MP primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture and a secondary 13MP ultrawide angle sensor. As mentioned, the same set of cameras are used to take selfies. Due to the nature of the flip camera, Asus is able to offer features like motion tracking, automatic panorama, manual control of the flip rotation among others. Asus 6Z has stereo speakers and feature active noise cancellation along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, FM Radio, NFC, to name a few. There's also a fingerprint sensor on the rear panel. The 6Z has a huge 5,000mAh battery which supports 18W fast charging.

It's a match-up between one of the Cricket World Cup 2019's most impressive teams, against one of its most disappointing. And no matter where you are in the world you can watch this crucial match by using our guide below to getting a New Zealand vs South Africa live stream. Having dispatched unfancied Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan as expected, the rain prevented New Zealand from facing a much tougher test against in-form India, allowing them to take a point that they may not have otherwise managed. On paper (and at the bookies) the odds for South Africa getting any joy out of today's game look bleak. The win over Afghanistan was more laboured than it perhaps should have been, and there's the other minor detail that the Kiwis have knocked them out of the last two World Cups. For the Proteas to have any chance they'll need to work out a way of preventing Kane Williamson from doing the sort of damage he's done to other teams in the tournament so far - the New Zealand skipper has been in scintillating form, scoring 40 and 79 in his last two innings. It's another crucial Cricket World Cup 2019 match and one you’ll be able to watch with ease from anywhere in the world if you follow our New Zealand vs South Africa live stream guide below.

The rise in IoT devices may be leading to better connectivty and a boost in your Netflix consumption, but could also be putting your home at risk of cyberattack, new research has claimed. A report from security firm Avast and Stanford University has found that about 40 percent of households across the globe now contain at least one IoT device However many of these use outdated secuerity protocols or still have the default password in place, leaving households, offices and other workplaces at risk. What is the IoT? Everything you need to knowAvast: Why IoT security should be your number one security worryTrend Micro: Prepare for the age of IIoT securityIoT securityIn order to get its results, Avast scanned 83 million IoT devices across 16 million homes worldwide. It found that 94 percent of all IoT devices are manufatcured by just 100 vendors, with media and television-related devices the most common. More worryingly, though, the study found that obsolete protocols like FTP and Telnet are still used by seven percent of total devices, meaning millions of devices are especially vulnerable. This was also the case for 15 percent of home routers, which is also worrying, as such devices can act as a gateway into the home network, opening up multiple devices to attack. Surveillance devices such as security cameras were also found have the weakest Telnet profile, along with routers and printers - which again culd put them at rise of compromise, as seen in the hugely damaging Mirai botnet attacks. “The security community has long discussed the problems associated with emerging IoT devices,” said Zakir Durumeric, assistant professor of computer science at Stanford University. “Unfortunately, these devices have remained hidden behind home routers and we’ve had little large-scale data on the types of devices deployed in actual homes. This data helps us shed light on the global emergence of IoT and the types of security problems present in the devices real users own.” We’ve picked out the best antivirus softwarehttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/mgzoP-Vw-l8

There could be an exciting new technology milestone just around the corner, after an image which heavily suggests Oppo will launch a smartphone with a camera built under the display appeared online. According to an image posted on Weibo (a Chinese social network), Oppo is planning on launching a new handset on June 26 during MWC Shanghai. The artwork on the image appears to show a ring highlighting where the camera is placed below the screen. If this is what Oppo is hinting at (if the poster itself is genuine), it would allow the phone to have an uninterrupted display with no notch, or punch-hole camera (like the Honor 20 and Samsung Galaxy S10), while also removing the need for a mechanically rising camera as found on the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom and OnePlus 7 Pro. Foldable phones are coming5G phones are hereThe iPhone 11 will likely arrive in SeptemberWhether or not the handset while be unveiled on June 26, and if it will actually be available to buy, is currently unknown. Oppo could just show off the technology working on a demo device, or the handset may only get a limited release in certain markets. We'll have to wait and see what (if anything) is announced on stage. We've seen this beforeThis isn't the first we've heard of the technology, as earlier in June, Oppo posted a short video showing off its in-display selfie camera working on a prototype device. Oppo isn't the only manufacturer toying with this technology, and Chinese rival Xiaomi has also shown off its own under-display selfie camera. It seems the technology is almost ready for commercial release, but if it does arrive this year expect a hefty price premium on the first handsets to use it - new technology isn't cheap.

Following the discovery of a zero-day vulnerability in its browser, Mozilla is urging Firefox users to immediately update to the latest version of its desktop app − that includes Firefox ESR, which is intended for use by system administrators who control desktop environments in schools, offices, governments and other organizations. The bug, which is described as a 'type confusion vulnerability', has been given an impact level of 'critical', as it allows outside users to remotely execute code on your machine without your permission. Mozilla launches new desktop password manager, Firefox LockwiseMozilla could be about to change the VPN and privacy market foreveThe best Mozilla Firefox VPN 2019Make yourself invulnerable "A type confusion vulnerability can occur when manipulating JavaScript objects due to issues in Array.pop. This can allow for an exploitable crash," says Mozilla on its security advisory page. Worryingly, the corporation also notes that there have already been instances of "targeted attacks in the wild abusing this flaw," which means you really should update to the fixed versions (Firefox 67.0.3 and Firefox ESR 60.7.1) as soon as possible. Thankfully, Mozilla has the ability to deploy patches and security updates automatically, meaning that in theory you should only have to restart Firefox in order to receive the fixed version.

Although Telstra might be known for some of the more, ah, "premium priced" phone plans available in Australia, that high cost is typically paired with a wide range of included extras and frankly excellent coverage. So when the country's biggest telco decides to offer up some of its magic at a discount, it's probably a good time to start paying attention. Telstra's new range of just-released SIM-only mobile plans pack some serious punch for new customers signing up to the network, with two of its 'Mobile BYO' plans proving particularly attractive thanks to an extra 30GB of data and a price reduction of $20 per month. This puts them squarely up against Optus' offerings, which has held the SIM-only crown quite comfortably in the past, but now seemingly has a bit more competition. Looking for a new handset? Check out the best smartphone sales for EOFYBoth these Telstra plans come with Peace of Mind data, which means that if you (somehow manage) to go over your data limit, then instead of being charged for excess usage, your download speed will simply be capped to 1.5Mbps. And if you need additional data at full speeds, you can optionally pay the regular $10 per GB if you wish. On top of this, customers on these SIM-only plans will be able to stream audio via Apple Music without it counting towards your plan's total data cap, and be able to watch AFL, AFLW, NRL, Netball and Hyundai A-League matches on their devices both live and data-free.

The much-awaited Samsung Note 10 will launch on August 7, sources told CNET. The flagship phone will be unveiled at Samsung’s yearly Unpacked event, which will be held in Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn - the same venue it occupied last year, the sources continued. The Note series iterates on company's main S-series of flagship phones, and we can expect some of the developments - like the punch-hole 'Infinity Display' - in the Samsung Galaxy S10 line to make an appearance. We still don't know much else about the phone. One leaked render suggests just three (assumedly the same main, ultrawide and telephoto lenses as on the S10 and Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus). In the same render, the headphone jack is still missing - but so is a Bixby button, though that's such a Samsung staple, we'd be curious to see it gone. Another rumor suggests four rear cameras, including a time-of-flight sensor like the one included on the quad-camera Samsung Galaxy S10 5G. There might even be a 5G version of the Note 10...especially since Verizon said so. As you can tell, the rumor mill has been buzzing, but we're mostly assembling what we know from whispers and hints - not official word from Samsung. Hopefully this launch date report precedes some actual word from the company. Via CNEThttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/ZrKRENuXpiI

After PUBG introduced the world to the concept of ‘battle royale’ games, a number of games in the genre starting cropping up overnight including Fortnite, Apex Legends and Tetris 99. Now, there’s a new battle royale game in the house that tests your Super Mario Bros. skills, appropriately called Mario Royale. Mario Royale that pits you against 74 other identical Marios in a race to clear the game starting at either stage 1-1 or 2-1. Should you die, you're taken back to the waiting room lobby before the next match starts up. The hook of the game isn’t just that you can see the other players as they race through the courses alongside you - although that’s part of it - it’s that they can impact your game by grabbing coins and power-ups first and, in the event they get a star, they can use it to wipe out other players. The last player standing - or the first three players who make it to the end of Bowser's Castle - wins. The amazing part is that this game isn’t produced or affiliated with Nintendo - it’s created by a Youtuber-turned-developer who posted a video about the game’s creation over the weekend: Just watch out for Bowser... Doug BowserFor a one-man operation, you have to respect what the game's developer, InfernoPlus, has accomplished - Mario Royale is a surprisingly fun game, and one that Nintendo should consider itself. Hopefully the company considers Mario Royale a successful proof-of-concept rather than a breach of copyright and lets the game stay up for a few more days. If not, InfernoPlus will have to deal with Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser and the Nintendo legal team. Talk about a tough boss battle. That said, the game is still available to play as of right now on InfernoPlus's website, but that could change soon.

Held every two years, the CONCACAF Gold Cup pits the best international soccer teams from North America, Central America, and the Caribbean against each other. But regardless of where you are on the planet, our guide below for getting a 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup live stream will ensure you don’t miss a kick - it's even free to watch in certain regions. This year's tournament has been expanded to involve 16 countries, up from the previous 14 with all participating teams this year coming from the three CONCACAF regions (previous editions have seen 'guest' countries from other continents help make up the numbers). As ever, Mexico and primary hosts the USA are viewed as favorites (the two teams have alternated as champions in the previous four Gold Cup tournaments), but recent times have seen an improvement in some of the smaller CONCACAF nations meaning the big guns are likely to find things a great deal more difficult this time out. They may be among the favorites with Betfair, but USA's form going in to the tournament is far from convincing. The USMT suffered morale-sapping defeats against Jamaica and Venezuela in their two pre-tournament friendlies, and have been dealt a blow with the news that an injury to RB Leipzig defender Tyler Adams will keep him out of the competition. Rivals Mexico have even bigger issues when it comes to missing personnel, with recognisable names such as Javier Hernández, Carlos Vela and Héctor Herrera all unavailable for the tournament. Luckily they still have talent in abundance, with in-form Wolverhampton Wanderers star Raúl Jiménez a likely contender for the tournament's golden boot. The team most likely to capitalise on the USA and Mexico's problems are Costa Rica. The Ticos have seen continued improvement in recent times and have been placed in a favorable group that should see their experienced squad led by Bryan Ruiz, Celso Borges and Kendall Waston sail through to the later stages. Jamaica also look to be a good outside bet, but they'll have to get over the psychological burden of having been beaten finalists in the last two tournaments.

Even though mobile gaming has a ways to go before it's just like playing on a desktop or console, it's inching closer every year - and it might grow in leaps and bounds in 2020. Why? AAA publishers are getting good at translating their AAA franchises to mobile, but the onset of 5G and cloud gaming could elevate mobile gaming across the board. At E3 2019, we talked to publishers, game developers and phonemakers about their products and projects to get a hint at what's coming for mobile gaming in 2020. The top-level observations aren’t too surprising: the dependable recipe for success is to make new titles from old but well-known IPs or craft mobile versions of already-popular desktop/console franchises. With so many games out there, new titles have to be platform-savvy and a bit tailored to their audience's regional tastes. Overall, mobile gaming in the next year will slowly iterate on lessons learned - but the industry is also looking ahead to a sea change from 5G and cloud streaming, both technologies that could change how, and what, we play. Read on for the five trends we see coming in the next year. Trend 1: big franchises, small screens By far the biggest new title for mobile gaming shown off at E3 2019 was Call of Duty: Mobile, a version of the hit franchise shrunken down to be playable on smartphones. We found the game to be a remarkably similar experience to its fully-fledged siblings, featuring levels ripped straight from the older games, including a bunch stitched together to form the game’s huge battle royale map (which should give seasoned Call of Duty fans an advantage). Otherwise, the game plays a lot like other more serious mobile shooters: move with your thumb on the left side of the screen, perform actions like shooting, crouching or switching loadouts by hitting the appropriate button on the right side of the screen. It works...once you’ve gotten the hang of it. But attempting to replicate a console experience on smartphones makes for a cluttered interface, something that plagues every game that uses on-screen controls rather than a dedicated external gamepad (which aren’t common). To its credit, Call of Duty: Mobile introduces a few control innovations - like auto-shooting once a player hovers their crosshair over an opponent - but these are intended for newer players to get the hang of the game until they transition to the precision of manually moving/aiming/shooting. In essence, mobile titles inheriting IP from consoles and desktop gaming have good reason to try to import that experience as wholly as possible, but - at least right now - compromise is essential. But there can be elegance in that adjustment. The other big example on the show floor was The Elder Scrolls: Blades, a game that’s been out in the US in early access for some months before a general release (everywhere but China) in time for E3 2019. The control scheme is a simplified version of traditional Elder Scrolls combat: once engaged with an enemy, players swipe the screen to attack. It’s missing the free movement that’s defined fighting in the main games, but it enables one-handed play. Or two-handed, if players prefer: the game’s big innovation is supporting both portrait and landscape modes, with seamless transitions between either, even in the middle of a fight. The result is “a classic dungeon crawler designed for the modern day,†Lafferty said. Craig Lafferty, Senior Producer “It took a lot of dev time” to pull off, Veronique (Vero) Bruneau, Producer at Bethesda Game Studios for TES: Blades told TechRadar in an interview at E3. That was surely an understatement: he and Craig Lafferty, Senior Producer and Project Lead at Bethesda Game Studios explained they had to program that swapping mechanism for many phone types and tablets. The result is “a classic dungeon crawler designed for the modern day,” Lafferty said. Of course, the game has a lot of accoutrements from the Elder Scrolls franchise, though Blades is deliberately set in a different time period than the other ongoing TES game, Elder Scrolls Online, to avoid content overlap. The wild success of the 2016 game Fallout Shelter convinced Bethesda that its IP could be suitable for mobile titles, provided they found satisfying gameplay mechanics appropriate for the franchise. Which, in its own way, explains Commander Keen. Trend 2: novelty stands apart in a crowded market During Bethesda’s E3 2019 showcase, Kira Schlitt, Creative Director at ZeniMax Online Studios, came on stage to introduce a new mobile title she’s helming: Commander Keen. Based on the beloved PC platformer pioneer that was first released in 1990, the game looks to revive the classic side-scrolling gameplay on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The announcement was a surprise: while Commander Keen certainly has cultural cachet with older gamers, and a place in the history books as the title that enabled the foundation of id Software, it’s not a franchise players have clamored to revive. But the Bethesda keynote didn’t fully explain the game. Commander Keen will be a platformer with a similar goofy, light-hearted cartoony style as the original...and a card game, too. Each of the title character’s signature gadgets (like pogo sticks and sci-fi traps) is activated via a card, which is shuffled back into their mini-deck once used. The resulting game sounds like a novel combination of tried-and-true genres: a real-time platformer that requires less twitchy reactivity and more thoughtfulness to proceed. Players can bring eight cards with them into a level, which they can cleverly combine: create a hazard with your vortex gun and then bounce enemies into it with a trampoline. Voila! It’s hard to imagine how a real-time card-platformer will work out - Bethesda rescinded their offer of a hands-on demo just before E3 2019 - but it sounds different, and more delightful than the usual AAA mobile game (outside of Nintendo’s chipper games, anyway). The Commander Keen team began developing it in early 2018 and were inspired by Hearthstone, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, and Clash Royale, but unlike those, the game ended up being more physics-based (and real-time), Schlitt told TechRadar. Whether the game is a hit, the bigger lesson is that it will (unsurprisingly) be free-to-play with in-game purchases. Schlitt assured that those won't be pay-to-win - they’ll just be cosmetics and time-savers, which should preserve the balance of the 1v1 PVP battle mode coming alongside the single-player story mode. New gadgets will only be unlocked via randomized packs awarded from playing battle mode, which hopefully won’t lock out unlucky players from drawing a complete arsenal. If established franchises (or ‘intellectual properties’ as the lingo goes) draw more interest than new ones, Commander Keen is a sort of test balloon for dormant franchise palatability: as a F2P title on mobile, there’s conceivably less risk with reviving an old and unlooked-for series than re-introducing a full AAA title on console and desktop. And companies could certainly do worse than Commander Keen’s whimsical pop sci-fi action. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/E8NoErWTNgE2buytMFzNwK.jpg Image credit: Netmarble Trend 3: Established franchises could be the key to popularizing new genres South Korea’s biggest mobile game company, Netmarble, didn’t debut new titles to the public at E3 2019, aside from one showed off behind closed doors that’s set to launch in the US before year’s end. But the company’s biggest titles have been ongoing for awhile: Marvel Future Fight, and until last December, Star Wars Heroes and Disney Magical Dice. The company even has an officially-licensed game about the globally popular K-pop boy band BTS. In other words, Netmarble has plenty of experience securing globally popular IP - but to stand out in a saturated game landscape, the company can’t just dash out a quick title to cash in on very recognizable names. Instead, Netmarble’s current strategy is to build themes and gameplay mechanics that match the IP, Netmarble US CEO Simon Sim explained to TechRadar. He came to E3 2019 with Netmarble to promote a mobile game coming to the US later in 2019: King of Fighters All-Stars. Just like previous games in the main King of Fighters series, the free-to-play title will feature characters from many SNK games - but the mobile game is a side-scrolling beat-em-up instead of a traditional fighting game. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/mVSMTPSi5kEmU3DSnY949Y.jpg Image credit: King of Fighters The genre switch seems like a shrewd move to preserve the fun of hand-to-hand combat without forcing players to use clumsy mobile game controls for fighting games, which require precise inputs to compete. Indeed, KoF: All Stars abbreviates those inputs with a small cluster of buttons on the right side: a big one for basic strikes surrounded by three for signature moves, while buttons at the top of the screen switch out teammates. The game proved popular in Japan, where Netmarble first released KoF: All Stars back in 2017, and has been a success in South Korea after launching there in May 2019. When asked whether KoF: All Stars will catch on in the US - a market where side-scrolling beat-em-up mobile games aren’t super popular - Sim explained that the genre didn’t need to be a top-seller for Netmarble’s title to be successful. That’s what we believe: if you change the game you will change the trend,†Sim said. Simon Sim, Netmarble US CEO The company has experience pioneering mobile game genres, Sim continued. Netmarble beta launched Lineage 2 Revolution in South Korea in late 2016 at a time when mobile MMORPGs weren’t popular. Back in January, the game crossed $1.5 billion in player spend, according to Sensor Tower. It’s possible that KoF: All Stars could kick off its own trend in the US. “That’s what we believe: if you change the game you will change the trend,” Sim said. That doesn’t mean every game will work everywhere - the company tweaks its games slightly for each market for legal compliance and for playerbase taste. Asian markets don’t mind the randomness of true ‘gacha’ systems, while Western and US players prefer a more expected reward system that grants, say, a guaranteed five-star character or one from a certain game. As a result, KoF: All Stars has three distinct versions for Japan, South Korea, and the upcoming US/Western release. But Netmarble isn’t just trying to hit big with already-popular IPs - the company aims to release a popular game featuring its own intellectual property, for obvious financial reasons (licensing fees, etc). Sim used Stone Age as an example (Stone Age Begins first came out in 2016), but when asked if they had new games to announce from its IPs, he only had one thing to say: stay tuned. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/RqXufUaoLir5V7vASQt8HK.jpg Image credit: TechRadar Trend 4: Phonemakers are still committed to local gaming, not streamingIn the last few years, phonemakers have released handsets aimed at gamers that pack high specs and special modes that optimize phone gaming. One of these, the Chinese OEM Black Shark, just released its second phone (the Black Shark 2) in April - but it’s already looking toward the future. The company didn’t show off its anticipated Black Shark 5G, which some reports say could come out before 2020, but Black Shark VP of Yang Sun, VP Marketing of Black Shark Global, had serious thoughts about how the next year of gaming might change - specifically, with hardware. Currently, the best phones for gaming are high-specced flagships, but specialized handsets that pack in more features specifically for playing games. The Black Shark 2 is one of these, and its additions range from the obvious (a liquid cooling system to lower internal temperatures during intense gaming sessions) to the subtle (large antennas so players can won’t impede signal wrapping their fingers around the phone). Others, like the Red Magic 3, have ‘shoulder’ touch buttons. If you’re playing locally, these handsets provide the best gaming experience. But 5G and cloud gaming could alter how we think of mobile gaming devices. 5G will have obvious benefits, like faster internet speeds and lower latency, which will likely help across the board. It could take awhile for these changes to affect consumers, with all the network and server infrastructure that still needs to be built. And 5G-compatible devices will probably be expensive for the next three years until the tech trickles down to more affordable handsets. Even the Black Shark 3 coming in 2020, which will pack Qualcomm’s next 5G-capable chipset, will almost surely be as pricey as the last. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/pvTknkmNcnEcTHnC4G3JNJ.jpg Image credit: TechRadar Instead of relying on your local hardware, cloud gaming shifts the processing to massive server farms; upcoming services like Google Stadia and Microsoft xCloud promise to deliver console/PC-level performance to any device that can stream media. We simply won’t need local hardware anymore - not to the extreme degree it’s at right now, anyway. Mobile devices would need failproof connectivity, of course, but the other major priority to reach parity with PC and console gaming lies in improving displays. Smartphones and tablets lag behind in screen clarity and quality; eventually, cloud gaming would reduce the choice between mobile, tablet and PC to which size screen you’d like to game on. There are other obstacles limiting mobile gaming, like inferior screen controls vs. gamepads - and even hardware limitations. There are tricks Black Shark is ready to build into its phones that they claim will bring mobile gaming closer to parity with PC and console, like interpolating game framerates of 30 frames per second to imitate 60fps - but it’s the hardware that restricts them. If Qualcomm opened up their chip tech to Black Shark, the company claims it could improve the mobile gaming experience. Which would help the chicken-and-egg situation that has kept mobile gaming stagnant for years: why build a better experience if there aren’t games that need it? And why would developers raise the production level of their games if they’re only playable on less-accessible higher-spec phones? Something needs to come along to break this quagmire. Perhaps it is 5G, or cloud gaming, or even next year’s Black Shark 3, which the representative told me is “just completely other stuff.” Sea changes are most likely coming...but slowly. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DUz2BdjTyUvpqTKcJ9HfWk.jpg Image credit: TechRadar Trend 5: 5G is coming - and how will it change mobile gaming? Tucked between IndieCade, Sega/Atlus and Nintendo’s massive floorspace at E3 2019, Verizon had a simple presence: one screen on each side of a square booth, each showing off a different mobile game developed during a game jam the carrier held in December 2018. All were made to show off the potential of 5G. Like many games made during a jam, these had easily-grasped concepts: Knights on a Rocket, for instance, featured two knights battering each other while trying to steer themselves through an asteroid field. The point, one of the game’s developers Kevin Harper told TechRadar, was to showcase 5G technology. If you could stream in far more data - at the game jam, Harper and his team saw 1Gbps download from Verizon’s temporary 5G setup - then you could make a game that relied on assets downloaded very very quickly. You could see the result as asteroids came hurtling quickly but seamlessly at his game’s knights, without any visible network slowdown. “Techwise [5G is] there, but the infrastructure needed is huge."Kevin Harper, game developer Another game in the Verizon booth featured a simple dagger shooting up the side of a pillar and veering from side to side dodging obstacles - simple enough gameplay, but the mesmerizing, shimmering lighting effects were console-level quality. Current mobile games can’t pull this off, even those adapted from console/desktop titles. Fortnite, for example, is “very much a mobile build,” Harper said. 5G could enable much more dynamic gameplay...eventually. “Techwise it’s there, but the infrastructure needed is huge,” Harper said. By his estimation, we won’t see that 5G-enabled next-generation of mobile gaming arrive in 2020. Next year will be about validating the technology first, then seeing if and where it can be useful to consumers. When it arrives, Harper sees a mobile gaming future much like Black Shark’s representative: devices will require much less hardware, essentially narrowing their development priorities down to handsets that process video streamed in over the air and send inputs back to servers. That’s a potentially scary proposition for OEMs that have justified ever-higher flagship phone prices by including higher and higher-specced hardware. “But there’s definitely an opportunity for someone to take advantage of,” Harper noted. Even with less complex devices that just stream video, one roadblock to 5G mobile gaming looms large: carrier data caps, which seem prohibitively limiting compared to the massive data speeds 5G is capable of. These, Harper noted, are ‘artificially imposed’ and hopefully ripe for change before a single night of gaming wipes out your data allocation for the month - but we’ll have to wait and see how carriers meet customer needs when the next-gen networks expand beyond the handful of coverage pockets that exist today.

The operators behind the GandCrab ransomware have announced that they are closing up shop after almost a year and a half in which they claimed to have earned $2bn from ransom payments. GandCrab rose in popularity among cybercriminals after the operators began to market their services on underground criminal sites in January of 2018. Since then, its creators have become some of the most dominant actors in the ransomware space. News that GandCrab is shutting down came from security researchers Damian and David Montenegro who have closely followed the exploits of the ransomware on the underground hacking and malware forum Exploit.in. It was there that they discovered a post from the GandCrab operators in which they said they are shutting down their operation. Why ransomware is still a pressing threatWhy rapid recovery is key to minimising the ransomware threatWhy does ransomware keep evading your defenses?In the post, the operators said that the ransomware has earned over $2bn with average weekly payments of $2.5m while they personally earned over 150m. The GandCrab operators went on to explain their future plans, saying: “We are leaving for a well-deserved retirement. We have proven that by doing evil deeds, retribution does not come. We proved in a year you can earn money for a lifetime. We have proved that it is possible to become number one not in our own words, but in recognition of other people.” GandCrabIn the announcement, the operators also said that they have stopped promoting the ransomware while requesting that affiliates stop distributing it within 20 days. Additionally, their forum post is scheduled to be deleted at the end of the month. The operators even encouraged victims to pay for decryption now as their keys will be deleted at the end of the month. Hopefully though, they release the keys once they shut down as other large ransomware operations have done in the past. GandCrab's operators have always operated a bit differently than their counterparts though, using taunts, jokes and references to organizations and researchers in their code. Another such example is the fact that the operators decided to use domain names for their Command & Control servers which were based on organizations and websites known for ransomware research. While it is good news that GandCrab is finally shutting down, cybercriminals are likely working right now to fill the gap it will leave in the ransomware space.

Domain fraud is a growing risk for businesses and consumers as cybercriminals register millions of domains to impersonate brands and major global events each year. As registering a domain requires little more than an internet connection, domain fraud is fairly simple to execute and researchers have even discovered fraudulent domain services available for purchase on the dark web. These services make it simple for cybercriminals with no web design skills to quickly replicate a brand's website on their domains, buy security certificates and even fake company documentation. In its 2019 Domain Fraud Report, Proofpoint sheds light on the latest trends shaping the domain landscape and the tactics used by cybercriminals to trick users into visiting their fraudulent domains. How to choose a domain name for your website : tld vs cctld vs exoticPointing to the future: the next step in fraud preventionFour things to think about when considering domain namesOne of these tactics is hiding in plain sight as fraudulent domains often use many of the same top-level domains (TLDs), registrars and web servers used by legitimate domains. For example, 52 percent of all new domain registrations last year used the .com TLD while nearly 40 percent of new fraudulent domain registrations also used .com. Threat to businessesProofpoint's research also showed that domain fraud is a widespread threat to businesses. Proofpoint Digital Risk Protection customers from a wide variety of industries all faced threats from fraudulent domains with 76 percent finding “lookalike” domains posing as their brand, 96 percent found exact matches of their domains with a different TLD and 85 percent of retail brands found domains selling counterfeit goods. The company's researchers also observed email activity for fraudulent domains to discover that 94 percent of it customers found that at least one of their fraudulent domain detections was sending email. However, for the most part Proofpoint observed low volumes of email from these accounts which points to highly targeted and socially engineered attacks such as business email compromise (BEC). Finally the company's researchers observed how market factors such as pricing and availability appear to influence the behavior of domain fraudsters. Proofpoint highlighted how the launch of the .dev TLD in February was immediately followed by 30 percent of its customers finding potentially fraudulent domains using the new TLD with their brand name just two weeks after its launch. Domain fraud can be just as damaging as a cyberattack and businesses and individuals need to carefully check the sites they visit to ensure they're not falling victim to any potential scams.

With Apple macOS Catalina's discontinuation of all support for 32-bit coded apps, one game publisher is pulling a lot of titles from its Mac game store, reports Apple Insider. The publisher in question is Aspyr – a studio that redistributes, or 'ports', popular games on PC and consoles for macOS – which has posted a list of 24 games that it has removed from sale. The list includes some classic Call of Duty titles, Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Civilization IV, several older Star Wars games and more. The recent history of gaming on Mac has not been a pretty story. Mac computers aren't given as much love from game developers, and it shows in the lack of modern, popular titles among the best Mac games. Some hits managed to land on Mac, but now their days of wide availability are numbered. See macOS 10.14's problems and how to fix themThese are some handy macOS 10.14 tips and tricksHere are the best and worst parts of macOS 10.14Currently, macOS 10.14 Mojave still supports these 32-bit games. While Aspyr is pulling the games from the store, owners will still be able to play them as long as they don't upgrade to Catalina when it launches later this year. They'll also be able to play them on a different machine running Steam using the SteamPlay feature, which Aspyr notes all of its Mac ports support. And that's just one game storeJust 24 titles from one game store might not seem like much, but Aspyr is just being proactive about it. The company knows that any 32-bit games it sells to gamers now won't be playable if they upgrade to macOS Catalina later. Aspyr has some 32-bit games that will receive 64-bit support by September, and it will continue to sell those, but there are other game sellers and programs that won't be making the cut. Steam has plenty of other games available for macOS, and Aspyr is certainly not the exclusive seller of 32-bit titles. And, it's not just games at stake. Anyone running some legacy software, perhaps old versions of the Adobe programs, will lose support for them if they upgrade their operating system to Catalina. Apple has been giving warnings to users for some time about 32-bit apps, letting users know that they wouldn't be supported forever, and now we see just when that support is ending. It makes sense to see Apple shifting the focus to more modern 64-bit programs, but leaving behind legacy software entirely is sure to displease some users. This is also an interesting difference between macOS 10.15 and Windows 10, as the latter continues to support 32-bit programs, and the OS even has a 32-bit version available. These are the best Macs on which to play these gameshttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/Ha3y3lDzqWs

It's safe to say that Huawei phone deals aren't the shimmering beacon of the world's best phones they were just a month ago. Making headlines after Google had to cut ties with the company, there is no doubt Huawei is slightly stigmatised right now. But in an odd turn of events, that now makes the best camera phone on the market a suddenly affordable option. A host of deals from Mobiles.co.uk mean you can now get a Huawei P30 Pro at a discount of up to £120. While there is a risk of Huawei losing its access to Android updates and other important features of the phone, there are also other possible outcomes. With a number of American companies rallying against the ban and a proposed trade deal that could drop it all together, Huawei could go back to normal before we even know it. Or, if the ban stays in place, Huawei has proposed its own operating system that it plans to launch instead of Android. Either way, you'll have the world's second best smartphone at a majorly reduced price. We've listed all of the best Huawei P30 Pro deals from this Mobiles.co.uk price drop below. With prices as low as this, depending on how you see it, there has never been a better (or, possibly, worse) time to get this device. The ban still a worry to you? Check out our guide to the best mobile phone dealsThese cheap Huawei P30 Pro deals in full:How good is the Huawei P30 Pro?Before the ban took place, the Huawei P30 Pro was receiving praise as one of the most innovative devices out there, with a lot of that praise aimed at its camera. Sporting an incredible 50x zoom camera, smart AI camera features and an overall impeccable quality, nothing can quite match it. Backing up the camera is a high quality inifinity display screen, tonnes of power and a massive battery. In other words the Huawei P30 Pro is here battling for the spot of the world's best phone - just with more than a few reservations.

Zero-day flaws which impact two of Facebook's official WordPress plugins have been disclosed by a US-based cybersecurity firm including proof-of-concept (PoC) code that could be used by hackers to exploit the flaws and launch attacks against WordPress sites. The affected plugins include Messenger Customer Chat which shows a custom Messenger chat window on WordPress sites and Facebook for WooCommerce that allows WordPress site owners to upload their WooCommerce-based stores on their Facebook pages. The Messenger Customer Chat plugin is installed on over 20,000 sites while the Facebook for WooCommerce plugin has 200,000 users after the WordPress team began shipping the plugin as part of the official WooCommerce online store plugin back in April. Critical flaw in WordPress live chat discoveredWordPress revamped with new security featuresSecurity researcher exposes zero-day WordPress vulnerabilitiesSince that time, the plugin has received a rating of 1.5 stars with reviewers complaining about errors and a lack of updates. Plugin Vulnerabilities vs WordPressThe flaws in these two plugins became much more dangerous when the cybersecurity firm Plugin Vulnerabilities decided to publicly expose them on the WordPress.org forums. The firm and WordPress have been feuding for years after a policy change banned users from disclosing security flaws through its forums and instead required security researchers to email the WordPress team who would then contact the owners of any affected plugins. However, Plugin Vulnerabilities has continued to disclose security flaws on the WordPress forums despite the new rule which resulted in it having its forum accounts banned. The firm took things a step further this spring when it also began to publish blog posts on its site with in-depth details and PoC code about the vulnerabilities it had discovered. The two zero-day flaws Plugin Vulnerabilities discovered in Facebook's WordPress plugins aren't as dangerous as those it has revealed in the past as they require social engineering to get a user to click on a malicious link. Although the flaws are harder to exploit, they could allow attackers to take over WordPress sites. Security researchers are generally doing a company a favor when they discover vulnerabilities but by not going through the proper channels to report the vulnerabilities it discovered, the US cybersecurity firm put everyone who has those plugins installed at risk.

The UK’s infamous auction of 3G spectrum in 2000 had lasting ramifications for the mobile industry. Intense competition between BT Cellnet, One2One, Orange, Three, and Vodafone resulted in an astonishing £22 billion spent on licences for airwaves that would power new mobile services. But as difficult as it is to believe in 2019, the mobile phone was not entrenched in everyday life as it is today. An absence of “killer” applications exacerbated limited consumer demand and the huge amounts of money spent on the licences meant operators were constrained in their ability to invest in infrastructure. By the time smartphones arrived in their modern guise with the iPhone in 2007, it became apparent that 3G networks lacked the capacity and speeds required for emerging use cases. What is 5G? Everything you need to know5G: How will businesses benefit?Huawei agrees 40 5G contractsLearning lessonsIt was a lesson that regulator Ofcom recognised when it (finally) auctioned 4G airwaves back in 2013. Some observers lamented the sale only generated £2.31 billion rather than the £4 billion windfall anticipated by the treasury, but the regulator was keen to stress that its role is to maximise the efficiency of the spectrum and its value to society. This role was reprised at the first 5G auction when £1.4 billion was raised at the first 5G spectrum auction in early 2018. Ofcom will be pleased that all four mobile operators will launch next generation services this year rather than next. Although Ofcom will sell more bandwidth in the years to come, the amount raised pales in comparison to the recent German 5G auction, raising fears that the cost of spectrum in some countries could hinder network rollout. German 5G auctionThe marathon process finally concluded last week after 497 rounds of bidding for 41 blocks of 2GHz and 2.GHz spectrum, raising €6.5 billion – beating estimates of between €3 billion and €5 billion. Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and O2 all won licences, as did Mobile Virtual Network Operator 1&1 Drillisch. However, all were critical of the process, claiming the high cost of the spectrum would hinder their ability to invest. Although far less than the gargantuan €50 billion raised in the 3G sale, the proceeds from the sale exceeded the €5.1 billion raised for 4G licences in 2015. “The network rollout in Germany has suffered a significant setback,” declared Dirk Wössner, a member of Deutsche Telekom’s management board. “The price could have been much lower. Once again, the spectrum in Germany is much more expensive than in other countries. Network operators now lack the money to expand their networks. With the auction proceeds one could have built approximately 50,000 new mobile sites and close many white spots.” “We believe it is important to have a balance between the price paid for spectrum and our strong desire to create an inclusive society through investment in mobile network coverage,” added Nick Read, Vodafone Group CEO. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/xYUug3TSwxvT3N5rPZbqRF.jpg (Image credit: EE) Rising costsAt least in Germany, operators will indirectly benefit from the proceeds as the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) will use the money to upgrade Germany’s fixed line network – boosting backhaul services. But the fear within the industry is that regulators and governments will see spectrum auctions as a way to line their pockets and will overlook the wider economic benefit of 5G that could be forefeited if spectrum costs are too high. Late last year, the Italian 5G auction raised €6.5 billion, for example. “Every Euro spent acquiring spectrum is one less that is available to deploy the networks,” Kester Mann, an analyst with CCS Insight told TechRadar Pro. “While squeezing every last cent is good news for government coffers, it puts operators on the back-foot as they begin the roll-out of expensive infrastructure vital to supporting Germany’s huge manufacturing sector. “The terms of the auction have already been contentious and the high amounts pledged so far will only serve to further strain the fragile relationship between the network operators and the government. “Europe is already on the back-foot in 5G network roll-out compared to other regions and expensive spectrum auctions will do nothing to narrow the gap. Europe’s fragmented market structure and belligerent regulation compared to the US and developed Asian markets mean that it will be playing catch-up once again.” It’s not all doom and gloom. Although the US and South Korea have beaten Europe to the punch when it comes to 5G, Switzerland and the UK already have next generation network services in place. And the continent continues to have the best 4G networks in the world. With the truly revolutionary features of 5G, such as ultra-low latency, and new entertainment and business applications not expected until the mid-2020s, Europe can still play a vital role in 5G. But Europe is a fragmented marketplace with so many operators in each country. Regulators needed to decide whether the direct or indirect economic advantages of 5G are more important.

According to the latest research note published by trustworthy Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, we can expect the Cupertino company to deliver its largest iPhone display to date in 2020, as reported by Antutu and picked up by iPhone Hacks. Koi believes that Apple is planning to release an iPhone XS Max equivalent in 2020 that will boast a 6.7-inch OLED display – that's 0.2 inches larger than the current model.

Both phones will reportedly act as Apple's 5G debut, lending further credence to the rumor that we might see iPhone 5G in 2020 after all – a previous report had suggested that there might not be a 5G iPhone until 2021. Additionally, Koi also expects the 2020 iPhone XR equivalent to receive an OLED upgrade to its 6.1-inch display, as per a previously-reported rumor, though Apple's most affordable iPhone option is unlikely to support 5G networks. Of course, we recommend taking all of this information with a grain of salt, though its worth noting that Koi's predictions tend to prove accurate more often than not – the analyst accurately anticipated 2019's AirPods revision and the return of the iPad Mini.

Amazon Prime has a number of services you might already know and love. There's the free two-day delivery, a music streaming service and a video streaming service that all come with your subscription. But there's also free games. Yes, that’s right. Free games. If you're an Amazon Prime member you've probably heard about this, but if you set up an account on the company’s game streaming service, Twitch, you can link it to your Amazon Prime account to become a Twitch Prime member (or you can sign up for Twitch Prime on its own). There are a few benefits to being a Twitch Prime member, including free in-game items and no ads, but the most recent and best benefit is the free PC games each and every month, plus discounts and in-game items. This is a great way to try out some games you’ve maybe seen streamed but haven’t had the chance to buy for yourself, totally free. Even if you’re not planning to play them straight away, it’s worth claiming them in the timeframe they’re available because even when you no longer have your Prime account they’ll be yours to play. Oh, and you'll need the Twitch desktop app too. Twitch has offered free games before to Prime members but it can be tricky sussing out the latest and greatest downloads. That said, we’ve decided to put together this one-stop shop where you’ll be able to see the games you can get your hands on right now, as well as see the titles that have been featured in previous months. That way you’ll know whether to hold out for it to appear. So, without any further ado, here are the free games with Prime for June 2019. And make sure you check back - we'll be updating every month. Get ready for Amazon Prime Day 2019Aegis DefendersStikbold!10 Second Ninja XThe MetronomiconThese four games will be available until July 1, when they'll be swapped out for four new titles. Any games you download are yours to keep, however, so it's worth downloading them now even if you don't have time to play through them. Looking to chill out after you play? These are the best Amazon Prime TV showshttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/iDIx6rWPslI

Apple iPhones and iPads have become an integral part of many modern businesses. With native apps and web apps for mobile devices available across the range of productivity and creativity applications, as well as easy accessibility for Software as a Service (SaaS), mobile Apple devices have established their place in the office. However, despite the number of integrated apps, there are still a wide range of individual apps that can be valuable to have for general office duties. For example, productivity suites for dealing with documents and spreadsheets still form the core of office work, plus there are a variety of related services available as apps to support that role, not least for document scanning and printing. There is such a huge volume of different apps for similar purposes available in the Apple AppStore, however, that it can be difficult to sift through which ones may be the most important. We aim to make that decision easier for you, by listing the best in iOS office apps for the iPhone and iPad.

Since then it's held the dominant market share when it comes to office tools and is the most well-known amongst users. The Word app is free to download but offers in-app purchase for any extras you may need. This is not a lightweight app: it weighs in at 292.1 MB upon installation. Within Word you can create, edit, view and share files with other users quickly and easily. You can read through PDF's but need to convert them into a Word document before being able to edit them. Word has many trusted features that let you edit and create documents with ease. While you may not always need them, it is good to know you have the choice. The app has several templates that make writing resumes or cover letters much more convenient. While this is a very popular app there are some issues with stability, with some users noting that Word documents freeze up during use with work sometimes being unrecoverable. Other users have criticized the size of the application stating that it is too resource heavy.

However, the suite can not be installed in one handy app but is divided up into three separate apps: Pages (word processor), Numbers (Spreadsheet software) and Keynote (presentation software). Each app is free to download and Pages itself weighs in at a mighty 515.4 MB. Pages can open DOCX, DOC, RTF and TXT files. It can export files through PDF, DOCX, RTF and EPUB. If collaborating with users of Microsoft Office, you will need to convert the file into either a PDF or DOCX file before sending as it is not fully compatible with MS Office and can cause readability issues. You can annotate and draw within documents using the Apple Pen. This is an easy to use tool that allows you to add drawings in several different ways besides the Apple Pen e.g. 'fill tools'. Pages also has its own Apple designed templates for letters, resumes and posters which are easy to use. With the collaboration tool users can see exactly who is working on the document at the same time as them, can share the document publicly and can easily follow other users edits. It is also available on documents that are stored in iCloud. The general consensus amongst users is that the app should be more compatible with MS Office. Even though you can convert documents into DOCX files, they can still appear different in MS Office.

Users can store and share files in their drive as well as synchronize files across devices. It is free to download and offers in-app purchases. The app incorporates Google's office suite (G Suite) which includes Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. This means that documents stored on the drive can be viewed, edited and created. Any changes will be saved to Google Drive. You are given 15GB of free storage which can be upgraded through paid plans which start at $1.99 (£1.52) per month. Users can edit the privacy settings for each file as they see fit. This is especially handy if you want to collaborate with other people. All files that you have saved to your drive, such as documents, spreadsheets and photos, will be backed up safely so you won't have to worry about losing them. There is a handy search feature where you can either search for files by content or name. Users are also able to see any recent activity on a file and can set sharing permissions to comments, edit or read-only. Users have criticized the layout of Google Drive stating that organizing files/folders can be confusing as the documents all look the same and are categorized by most recent activity and not alphabetically.

For this you are getting a full office suite unlike Microsoft Word which, at 361.1MB, is just the word processing tool. The app offers password protection so that you have extra security when saving any documents you have been working on. Users can edit and share Microsoft documents easily and efficiently. All files can be converted to a PDF if needed. Documents can be opened and saved online with access to the likes of Dropbox and Google Drive. SmartOffice supports several image formats such as PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF and BMP. Wireless printing is also supported. It is compatible with all versions of Word since 1997 and supports over 35 different languages. It is easy to use with a well-designed, attractive interface. SmartOffice has an excellent spreadsheet and presentations tool that is comparable to MS Office. Users have criticized the iPhone and iPad app for being slow to log in and hard to navigate through.

It is free to install and weighs in at 40 MB. This may not be a full productivity suite but it can be a very handy office tool. It is a great app for those constantly on the go as it can read whiteboards, blackboards and business cards. It then digitizes them automatically. This means that users never have to worry about losing receipts, just scan and save them in the app. OCR will recognize both printed and handwritten text and you can search for words within your images if you need to edit them. Office Lens will tidy up and do its best to eliminate glare when using the 'Whiteboard' mode. While the 'Document' mode ensures that colors match perfectly and also tidies up the image to fit the file. After taking a scan of a business card, the app can extract certain information such as contact details and save them to your address book. Images can be converted to DOCX, PPTX or PDF files and are saved to OneDrive automatically. It seems that the 'Flash' option has to be turned off each time you use Office Lens, which some users have said can be inconvenient especially if using in a classroom or office meeting.

We'll therefore expand the list a little to look at additional alternatives to consider. Google Docs: Sync, Edit, Share is another obvious office app for iOS, which works within Google's G Suite app platform. You can write, edit, and share documents in Google Docs, and additionally work on them collaboratively. Documents are also saved in the cloud, and there are integrations available with the rest of Google's G Suite, not least spreadsheets and G Drive. While it's not as feature-packed as Microsoft Office, it has enough features to get most jobs done, and as it's free to download it's a useful free option to consider. OfficeSuite & PDF editor works by allowing you to create, edit, and save Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files. As ever, everything is saved in the cloud so you won't lose your files easily. There are also additional PDF editing options which is handy to have, and with a file size of 153.7 MB it's a lot smaller to download and install than Microsoft Office for Apple. Zoho Docs is another free document editor available in the iTunes App Store, and aside from offering the standard create/edit/save document options, also allows for collaborative working on them. You can also tag files to make them easier to find, as well as sync to save using multiple storage providers. It's free to download, and easily integrates with other Zoho productivity apps. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/WqICvDB1SLI

In the last few years, the AMD vs Intel battle has been heated up considerably, thanks in large part to the best AMD processors. While Intel has traditionally taken the CPU crown in the past, AMD has slowly been getting to the top of the pile, even outselling Intel in the desktop space thanks to Ryzen 2nd Generation. AMD looks to continue this trend with its Ryzen 3rd Generation processors led by the Ryzen 9 3950X (touted as the first 16-core processor to hit the mainstream market), which were easily the star of Computex 2019. But, you don’t have to wait until July – or in the Ryzen 9 3950X’s case, September – to get your hands on a worthy chip from Team Red, as the best AMD processors are already available, whether you’re playing PC games or trying to get some work done. So, we’ve went ahead and gathered up the best AMD processors you can buy today, from the budget Ryzen 3 2200G to the incredibly powerful Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX. And, because we’ve used all of these AMD processors ourselves, you can be confident you’re getting your money’s worth. We even included our exclusive price comparison tool, so you know you’re getting the best deal. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/E9GbfrydgGUurZA2LZFTKA.jpg The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is our current pick not only for one of the best AMD processors, for the best processor, period. It manages to deliver amazing performance at a reasonable price point, even if it’s not the fastest processor on the market. You’d be hard pressed to find an 8-core, 16-thread processor that boosts to 4.3GHz out of the box for a lower price. That’s not to mention the Wraith Stealth cooler that’s included in the box – one of the best CPU coolers we’ve seen included with a mainstream processor. Read the full review: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/zDjyVfZiUdDZebup8jkTNF.jpg If you’re looking to play the best PC games without breaking the bank, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X will take you a long way in gaming. With 6-cores, 12-threads and a boost clock of 4.2GHz, it should be more than enough for most AAA games at any resolution. You won’t be able to play something like Battlefield V at 200 fps, but when you’re saving this much cash on one of the best AMD processors, it’s hard to complain. Just make sure you pair it with a decent cooler, because it can get pretty toasty. Read the full review: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/LTPeJFto3f4dQTUUMg27a7.jpg If you’re trying to build a home theater PC, the trick is to find affordable parts that won’t require a ton of power. With just a 65W TDP and a very approachable price tag, the AMD Ryzen 3 2200G is, without a doubt, among the best AMD processors for HTPC builds. This is a single-threaded chip, and doesn’t have the highest clock speeds, so it’s not ideal for gaming, but at this price point, it doesn’t need to be. Plus, if you’re just playing PC games in 1080p, you should be fine. Read the full review: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fAgMeFKBywHYhBMAPqRg9X.jpg Any burgeoning PC hardware enthusiasts are going to want to pay attention to this AMD processor. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950WX is probably the best intro to HEDT hardware you could ask for. It’s affordable (for an HEDT chip), and its 4.4GHz boost clock across 16-cores and 32-threads means that it offers formidable single and multi-threaded performance. It doesn’t come with a CPU cooler out of the box, but when you’re getting into this realm of PC hardware, it’s expected you bring your own cooler, anyway. Read the full review: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/88GdH4b9NNfK9XGWo48KGe.jpg This is it, this is the big one. The Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX is the fastest of the AMD processors you can buy today, without dropping stacks on an Epyc chip. This absolute unit of a processor is furnished with 32-cores and 64-threads, with a boost clock of 4.2GHz. Combine all that with the massive 64MB of cache, and you have one of the most powerful chips on the market on your hands. Just keep in mind, that with its 250W TDP, you’re going to need some serious cooling to keep temperatures in check.

During the International Supercomputing Conference in Frankfurt, Germany this week, Nvidia announced that it will support processors from the British semiconductor design company Arm as it looks to gain a greater foothold in the supercomputer market. Nvidia has long been known as a supplier for graphics chips for the PC industry but in the past few years, researchers have also started to use its chips inside data centers to boost AI workloads. The company's accelerator chips work alongside central processors from Intel and IBM and will also soon do so with Arm chips. According to Nvidia, its accelerator chips will work with Arm chips by the end of this year. Founder and CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang explained in a press release how the combination of its chips and Arm's will help supercomputers come closer to reaching the exascale level, saying: Nvidia reveals first AI platform for edge devicesARM’s original operating system goes open source10 of the world's most impressive supercomputers“Supercomputers are the essential instruments of scientific discovery, and achieving exascale supercomputing will dramatically expand the frontier of human knowledge. As traditional compute scaling ends, power will limit all supercomputers. The combination of NVIDIA’s CUDA-accelerated computing and Arm’s energy-efficient CPU architecture will give the HPC community a boost to exascale.” Nvidia and ArmArm, which is owned by Japan's SoftBank Group Corp, has gained notoriety in recent years as its chips are used in most smartphones. However, companies such as Ampere Computing have been working to use the British firm's chips in data centers where Intel's chips are the most widely used. Unlike its competitors, Arm doesn't produce its own chips but rather licenses the underlying technology so that others can use it to make processors. Nvidia decided to make its chips work together with Arm's chips after European and Japanese researchers said they wanted to develop super computing chips using Arm's technology so that they could have a third option in addition to IBM and Intel, which currently control the market. The announcement follows Nvidia's recent $6.8bn deal to buy the Israeli firm Mellanox Technologies whose high-speed networking chips already appear in some of the world's most powerful supercomputers.
