NVIDIA ha anunciado la GeForce RTX 3060 para PC y se lleva las GPU GeForce RTX 30 a los ordenadores portátiles NVIDIA acaba de presentar su nueva tarjeta gráfica, la tan rumoreada NVIDIA RTX 3060. Se trata de un modelo que aumenta ligeramente la cantidad de memoria de la RTX 3060 Ti, que ahora es de 12 GB y comparte con sus hermanas la arquitectura Ampere. NVIDIA, por supuesto, ha destacado el rendimiento de esta nueva GPU en lo que se refiere al ray-tracing. Sobre el papel, no debería ser un problema jugar en una calidad más que decente con ray-tracing. La nueva GPU se podrá comprar a nivel global a finales de febrero por 329 dólares. Por el momento no se conoce el precio en euros. Intel quiere recuperar el liderazgo en los equipos para juegos, y prepara dos armas: los procesadores «Rocket Lake-S» y «Alder Lake» Aprovechando la celebración del CES virtual que arrancó ayer la compañía de Santa Clara ha desvelado algunas de las características que tendrán sus próximos microprocesadores para equipos de escritorio, y varias de ellas son muy interesantes porque reflejan la necesidad de ponerse en marcha y colocar toda la carne en el asador. Por un lado los chips «Rocket Lake-S» dan una vuelta de tuerca muy interesante a los procesadores Intel Core de 11ª generación, y, además, las CPU «Alder Lake» que presumiblemente encarnarán la familia Intel Core de 12ª generación utilizarán una arquitectura de núcleos muy prometedora. Durante su presentación Intel enfrentó uno de sus nuevos procesadores Core i7 «Rocket Lake-S» acompañado por una tarjeta gráfica con GPU GeForce RTX 3080 de NVIDIA a un equipo con características muy similares pero equipado con una CPU Ryzen 9 de la familia 5000 de AMD, y lo hizo con un propósito: prometernos que está dispuesta a recuperar el liderazgo en las máquinas para juegos. Mobvoi Earbuds Gesture: los auriculares completamente inalámbricos permiten aceptar llamadas moviendo la cabeza Mobvoi, la marca detrás de los TicWatch y los TicPods, acaba de anunciar el lanzamiento global de sus nuevos Earbuds Gesture. Son unos auriculares completamente inalámbricos que destacan por contar con una peculiar función llamada TicMotion. Los auriculares de este tipo tienen control gestual, por lo que podemos aceptar una llamada tocando dos veces en uno de los auriculares. Pues en los Earbuds Gesture podemos hacer lo mismo, pero moviendo la cabeza. Los auriculares se podrán comprar a partir de hoy en Amazon y en la web del fabricante. Como casi todos los auriculares de este tipo, tienen unas gomillas de silicona para mejorar el agarre y la cancelación pasiva. También tienen resistencia al agua y al sudor IPX5. Es genial ver tecnología nueva surgir de cualquier lado, y esperemos que funciones como las que trae estos auriculares se vuelvan más comunes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/elgordocircuito/message

Haigui eller “havssköldpaddor” är en viktigt del av Kinas kompetens-mångfald. En term som beskriver de Kineser som studerar eller arbetar utomlands innan de återvänder till “moderlandet”, “havssköldpaddorna” är ett enormt bidrag till Kinas snabbt växande tech-industri, från toppchefer till VCs.

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we're taking a look at the latest in Galaxy Note 9 rumors, as well as Samsung's upcoming Tab S4 tablet and new Galaxy Watch. From there, we want to see how Android P Developer Preview 4 is holding up, share some thoughts on Mobvoi's new TicWatch Pro, and why Tim is still so in love with the OnePlus 6. We'll also likely dive into some final thoughts on the Moto Z3 Play, which phones T-Mobile has activated RCS Universal Profile on, and what you can expect from Amazon Prime Day. We have trivia this week with Google Play credit up for grabs! We'll be live at 1:00PM Pacific (4:00PM Eastern).

The TicPods Frees from Mobvoi are a cheaper alternative to the Apple AirPods. They’re currently on indieigogo but will retail this summer for $129.

Zhifei Li, founder of Chinese artificial intelligence firm Mobvoi, once joked in a Wechat post that the best business model for a Chinese AI company was to become an Internet celebrity via smart marketing and then pivot to become an e-commerce firm. But, he added self-deprecatingly, "because I'm not handsome enough and my Mandarin is terrible, I choose to sell premium hardware powered by our own proprietary AI technology." Behind the joke, however, lies Li's personal struggle to answer the billion-dollar question: What is the ideal business model for a successful AI company? A native of China's Hunan province, Li still speaks with a slight accent when China Money Network recently visited Mobvoi's Beijing headquarters. But there was no ambiguity in his conviction. "Our strategy is to develop the core voice recognition technology and then apply them to different hardware scenarios, where the technology makes sense for users," the former Google scientist with a computer science Ph.D. from John Hopkins University told China Money Network. "We are an AI company...(and) have the capability to combine algorithm, software and hardware all together." Mobvoi, a name derived from combining the first three letters of "mobile" and "voice", is among the leading players of a new pack of Chinese AI companies that are primarily focused on the so-called AI application layer. Instead of drilling deep into AI technology research, such as DeepMind Technologies, the vast majority of Chinese AI companies - 71% to be specific - are focused on generating real returns from applied artificial intelligence, according to a recent report released by Vertex Holdings, a member of Singapore's Temasek Holdings. This means Chinese AI companies have struggled with the brutal "business model" question for longer and deeper than their American peers, of which only 44% are application focused, according to a Tencent study. Discarding invalid answers (Li's Wechat post featured the survey choice "Continue painting an ever brighter picture for VCs to raise more money", which got the most votes from his friends), the choices for AI companies include: 1. Provide AI technology solutions to enterprises for a fee; 2. Go downstream to smart hardware. For Li, the first choice is abhorrently lousy. In option one, the only way to scale up is to try to grab more orders from enterprises, which inevitably leads to price competition and margin compression. Not to mention that Chinese technology giants such as Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent (BAT) could offer such services for free. In fact, a company in this camp, Face++, already provides free basic face and image recognition technology, while charging a fee for premium services, in a freemium (free+premium) model. As a veteran researcher with over a decade of experience first at the Natural Language Processing Lab of John Hopkins University and later on Google's translation team, Li believes he and his team's AI technology experience put Mobvoi at an advantage compared to other Chinese hardware makers. Other benefits of the software-hardware combo approach include brand awareness by end-users, potential to grow exponentially, and various ways to monetize the hardware. Investors seem ready to buy Li's vision. Having secured US$250 million in financing from Volkswagen Group China, Google, Sequoia Capital’s angel investment unit, SIG Asia Investment and others, Mobvoi is reportedly valued at a near-unicorn level, or approaching US$1 billion. Declining to disclose the company's valuation, Li prefers to explain his philosophy on what an AI company must do to survive and thrive. "If you want to make an AI company successful, you have to have products and integrate the technology in the products," Li said while flashing Mobvoi's Ticwatch S smart watch on his wrist. Mobvoi's first step of re-tooling itself to shift from being a voice interaction mobile app maker to a hardware developer came in 2015,

Good morning, welcome to Payments Monitor, my name is Faisal Khan, today is the 20th of October 2015, some trending stories today are: TOP STORIES Smartcard and security technology company Oberthur announced it will be filing for an IPO on Euronet Paris exchange. The IPO value has not been announced, but it will be close to the previous value of Euro 2 Billion (which was taken from the value assigned to Oberthur when it was a target of a failed private equity acquisition). Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled that Apple Music has 15 Million Users out of which 6.5 Million users are paying subscribers. Spotify by comparison has 75 Million active users and 20 Million paid subscribers. YouTube is seriously mulling about providing a payment wall for exclusive content on its video streaming platform. YouTube feels a paywall would not be out of scope, provided content that can suddenly reach 100s of million of users is available exclusively on YouTube. All this represents a reflection of the exclusive movies Netflix has been sponsoring and paying for, in which it has had a huge success. Google makes its first investment in China after pulling out of the country in 2010 over privacy concerns. Mobvoi is a Chinese language voice activated search engine. Voice technology will become the cornerstone in payments in the coming years as voice biometrics are best poised for authorization that is both quick and secure. Think what Siri will do next. Bitcoin’s price has been on the up, up and up. The latest price of the virtual currency was quoted at US$ 267, fueled by the trading volume by Chinese exchanges Huobi and OKCoin. Some cite the reason for this upsurge in price is because consumers are being sucked into a Russian ponzi scheme known as MMM. In other news, Happy birthday for Apple Pay as it turns 1 year old today. Amazon pulls out of the travel business by quietly pulling its plug on its hotel booking service Amazon Destination, but fear not, Amazon sees a big holiday season around the corner and plans to hire 100,000 temporary workers for its holiday season. BLOG OPINION Daily Fintech has a really good article on how the US can learn about EMV adoption from Australia. EMV has been a major success in Australia however, contactless payments are not far outsrtipping chip and PIN authorisations. Add to this, mobile payments which seem to be heading towards domination. What will it mean for the US - well you can read the article and find out more. CLOSING THOUGHTS Hope of striking it rich were short lived. Germany’s Deutsche Bank accidentally transferred US$ 6 Billion into another client’s account by entering the wrong numbers during transfer. How about that. That’s all for today, my name is Faisal Khan and you were listening to the Payments Monitor.
