New Intel HD Graphics, Iris, Iris Pro Drivers Benchmarked

Intel
Intel’s have come with exciting integrated graphics even before which were much deserved one. But with its recent release for the Intel HD, Iris, Iris Pro, it made the all time biggest jump in the history of integrated graphics chips so far. Now-a-days lots of people spend much of their time playing games on laptop and PCs paved the way for Intel to come out with such an amazing integrated graphic plan. This effort will definitely give a turbo boost to climb the top of the peak.

What’s new with this one?

Well, there are many integrated graphic chips that make the performance of a game more exciting and an attractive one. Then in what ways is this new version a unique one that can attract the eyes of every user? This might be the queries that everyone might get resolved too. So let’s go through its unique features that make it an Iris benchmark rather than others.

When compared to Intel’s current HD 3000 and HD 4000 that comes with Ivy bridged cores, Iris graphics claims to provide 2 times improved 3D performance. So ultra books are going to be the best snuffs for gaming grabbing up all the games that use to crawl, which are not work at all in your PCs.

Iris Graphics will come into 2 variants, Iris Graphics 5100 that will be wrapped on an Iris 4th Gen Core i7-4000U series and Iris Pro Graphics 5200 on H and R series chips. These will be integrated in all variants of laptops and all in one desktop also. Besides, providing 2 x improvements on 3D performance, it will even boost up the processing power three times in all in ones with R series chips.
Open CL, DX11.1, Open Gl4.1, three screen collage display and 4k Ultra HD display resolution are some of the things that comes in support with it.

This Iris Graphics can be tested to see whether the claims made by the company about the improvement with which it comes is trustable or not by downloading new drivers and installing them on laptops that run on a 4th Gen Core i7-4500U processor.

So this might be a boost in the field of graphic performance. The boost might not result to a big one but a considerable one.

Conclusion: 

Intel has always been trying to get a graphic gain in their each release which can be observed from the years ago releases like first Intel’s core 2 Duos was wrapped with Sandy bridge and then it moved to Ivy Bridge that brought a great boost to graphics and now it has made an extreme jump creating a huge generational gain ever by the release of Iris integrated graphics.

Free Voice Call Is Now Possible Over Google Hangout App


The old Google Hangout App recently got a twist of technology as the recent version of Hangout app will allow their users to make voice calls for free, or at a very meager cost. This recent renovation of the long neglected service bridge the communication gap even more, thereby raising the standard of the application as the Universal Communication App. This recent integration of free voice call app will prove to be a tough competitor against various apps, which allow free voice calls like Facebook Messenger, Line, WeChat, and the most loved app Skype.

The Release Date of the recent Version of the App:

Reuters from San Francisco (USA) reports that the Google launched their recent update of the Hangout App on Wednesday, thus ensuring free services to the cosmopolitans of North America to make free calls, and for pennies at the exchange rate of dollar for international calls.

The recent Hangout App will roll out internationally within a short span of time. This will allow people from all over the world to communicate with each other verbally instead of exchanging messages, and making video chats. Google’s Chee Chew posted in Google+ stating that the recent integration of the free voice calls will not affect the previously existing Google voice numbers. Therefore, it provides flexibility to the users to download the recent update without any hesitation.

The New and Old Features of the Google Hangout App:

Previously there existed Google Voice, which allowed Voice over IP, which enabled the users to sign for a Google Voice phone number at no cost, and enabled users for call forwarding to their landlines or to the other phones. In addition, it permitted the users to restrict the phone ringing at certain times of the day or allowing to migrate the call directly to voicemail. Now Google Voice amalgamated with Hangout App thus letting the users to talk with their loved ones. Also, it enabled the voicemails to be read instead of just listening to them. The recent Hangout rates through Voice over IP include 28cents/minute for Mexico and 3cents/min for India and 20cents/min for France.

Any user owning a smartphone can use this latest edition of Google Hangout App to make foreign calls at a relatively affordable price in exchange of pennies. However, users from US and Canada are allowed to make voice calls for free of cost. The voice and video facilities were two separate apps for iOS, Android and web users. The recent collaboration and merging will bridge the communication gap, especially for the people who have relatives or lovers living in foreign lands.

Google Hangout’s product manager Amit Fulay states that Android and iOS users need to download the Hangout Dialer App in their smartphone as well as the Hangout App version 2.3 facilitating them make calls all around the globe.

Google Hangout App’s update has been a killer approach to rejuvenate the old forgotten app. Google has utilized Google+ and Hangout to reach out to their customers, thereby escalating their existence to a greater height. The ultimate aim of this integration will allow the users, especially business tycoons and employee to communicate via audio and videos. This integration will go a long way, empowering the Google to take gargantuan advances over technology in recent future.

The panel they have previously chosen to use in this iPhone model was found not enough for laminating the screen. They had to keep in mind that the slim factor considering the 4.7 inch screen should not be compromised. The screen they were using did not satisfy all the conditions.

Both the Virtual Reality Headsets Will Be Bought State the Oculus Rift Leaders

Oculus Rift
Oculus Rift is creating a couple of headsets , where one is for the company and other for Samsung but they are pretty sure that people will barge in to buy both the headsets as stated by Oculus rift creator Palmer Luckey. Still, a market releasing date has not been fixed but it has already been predicted that customers will want to put their hands into both the products and make it their own. The company has been stating the fact that these two products are not competing against each other but are rather complimenting.

Looking into the matter:-

  • The company has been saying that these two devices with different names are the potentially for the same person.
  • The company announced a partnership with Samsung for the creation of Gear IV, a headset that will be in synchronisation for the Galaxy Note 4 tablet due for release as of now.
  • Gear IV has been predicted to be a more open and easier option to use than the Oculus rift regular headset although the company has kept the same approach for both the headsets stating that almost the same products are sold under different brand names.
  • What is cool with this new invention is its freeness. Mobile does present you with a number of advantages when you are unwired and simplifies the using procedures. This device is much easier to carry and give a watch out to your friends.
  • The company’s major aim has always been to get more people into the virtual reality thing and giving them a real feel of it. Oculus has been working since a longer time to provide people with a mobile experience. It has to be said that John Carmack has been instrumental in making this virtual reality come into the market and to the people via Oculus. Also, credit has been given to Samsung for using a screen known as AMOLED that is found in its phones and tablets allowing to visualise low latency images that is not possible in the traditional LCD screens. This is of much importance as with a greater extent of latency you will find you head moving in random with screen and might create motion sickness in some users’ .A big reason for Oculus rift to partner for a Galaxy Note 4 gadget productions.
Things needed to be seen:- 

Even though Oculus rift has been saying that people would go for both the products and would like to have both of them, only time is going to tell us as to which one is the best or is the company’s view really very truthful!!!! It’s still some time away from getting into the market and until it comes no review can be made upon just prediction. Oculus has had some major qualifications with its regular headset before and thus, a very high quality product is typically expected. It would be amazing if Oculus rift and Samsung Galaxy Note screen become virtually super compatible.
