The RK3399 SoC has been used in a huge variety of devices. From Chromebooks to SBCs, routers, TV boxes, and even the upcoming Pinebook Pro. With its six cores, gigabit ethernet, USB 3.0, and PCIe support, it’s clearly an SBC powerhouse in the ARM world. I’ve often wondered what kind of benefit was actually gained […]
Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8cx is already making the rounds for delivering a performance on par with an 8th Gen Intel Core i5 chip on PCMark 10. As you might know, the chip is designed to power the newer breed of devices called Always-Connected PCs, running Windows 10 on ARM. These Snapdragon-powered PCs come fitted with […]
It now seems that the Snapdragon chips have started to perform at par with Intel’s powerful chips. Last year, at the Snapdragon event, Qualcomm announced the ARM-based Snapdragon 8cx 7nm chip designed for Windows 10 laptops. Later, the company came up with the 5G version of Snapdragon 8cx in February. Now, at the Computex 2019, […]
Computers containing Intel chips from 2011 onwards are vulnerable to ZombieLoad bug. Intel processor chips have lately been accused of being flawed and unreliable in ensuring optimal computer performance and the current news further reinforces the fact that Intel needs to up its game and make its processor chips secure for users. According to security […]
The latest Intel CPU exploit termed Zombieload is a speculative execution side-channel attack. It uses Intel Hyperthreading to execute a Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) attack which targets buffers in CPU microarchitecture. According to a report, Intel CPUs made since 2008 are all susceptible to this attack. The latest 8th and 9th gen Intel CPUs are […]
Specification of the upcoming Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake CPU has been leaked on a Chinese Website. The latest CPUs will only offer a minor refresh of the current Whiskey Lake and Coffee Lake architectures. The CPU will mark the first time when Intel would be forced to use 5-digit numbering for its CPU models. […]
CPU comparison between Intel and ARM has been a topic since 2010 when Steve Jobs predicted the future of Apple with ARM. It was not long ago when Intel Atom used to be a thing. The processor started its journey on some smartphones but ended up receiving no proper app support. Intel processors were overshadowed […]
In late 2017, Microsoft launched Windows 10 on ARM to let users run its operating system on the ARM processor-powered laptops, especially the ones powered by Snapdragon chips. The company also released a bunch of devices in partnership with OEMs like Asus, HP, and Lenovo, and marketed them as “Always Connected Devices.” Earlier this year, […]
Back in December 2017, Microsoft launched Windows 10 On ARM — a new operating system designed to run Windows 10 on laptops powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips. While the computers designed for this version of Windows have failed to make an impact on the market, they’ve surely attracted the attention of the open source community. Just […]
Just yesterday, a report from The Register disclosed a massive security screwup on behalf of Intel, which impacted nearly all chips manufactured in the past ten years. It was also reported that future patches released by the developers of Windows and Linux kernel could reduce the performance of devices up to 5-30%. That’s a lot. […]

Hijacker is a Graphical User Interface for the penetration testing tools Aircrack-ng, Airodump-ng, MDK3 and Reaver. It offers a simple and easy UI to use these tools without typing commands in a console and copy&pasting MAC addresses. This application requires an ARM android device with a wireless adapter that supports Monitor Mode. A few android […]
After each major release, Apple is known to share the macOS kernel code. Apple releases a small bit of Darwin code every year, probably, because it’s based on tons of open source technologies. iOS mobile operating system is also built on the macOS foundation, and they share the common Unix-based Darwin core code. Even though you could […]
Short Bytes: If you’re planning to some DIY stuff in the coming future. Then you might want to take a look at the Teres I created by Olimex. It is a small-sized DIY laptop built using open source hardware. It features a quad-core ARM processor and it is capable of running Linux operating system. Teres […]
Short Bytes: A team of researchers at VUSec Lab has successfully demonstrated Drammer attack which is an implementation of the Rowhammer attack for ARM-based devices. The attack has the potential to root millions of Android devices from renowned brands like Samsung, LG, Motorola, OnePlus, Xiaomi, etc. The Rowhammer attack has been there for a while […]
When it was released 20 years ago, the Sega Saturn was by far the most powerful video game console available. It was a revolutionary device, had incredible (for the time) graphics, and a huge library of IP Sega could draw from. The Saturn was quickly overshadowed by the Sony Playstation, and soon these devices found […]
Short Bytes: The Arduino project has finally released Arduino IDE for Raspberry and other single-board ARM computers. Combining Raspberry Pi with Arduino is a recipe for great electronics projects and fun-filled DIYing. If you’re into electronics DIY stuff, you’ve probably worked with Raspberry Pi and Arduino. While they could be used to solve similar problems at […]
