Huawei has the habit of quietly revealing devices, especially budget ones, on their website. The latest to join their Y Series is the Y5 Prime (2018) which is a pretty decent phone that has an 18:9 display.

The Y5 Prime (2018) is a budget phone sporting a 5.45-inch HD+ with an 18:9 aspect ratio just like any new release this year. It’s powered by an unspecified processor with 2GB of memory and 16GB of expandable storage. There are single- and dual-SIM variants listed on the site.

Camera-wise, it’s got basic shooters: 13-megapixel sensor at the back and 5-megapixel on the front. There’s no fingerprint sensor on board, but there’s Face Unlock with the use of AI facial recognition. The phone boots Android Oreo with EMUI on top, as always.

There’s a non-removable 3020mAh battery to keeps the lights on. Huawei included Power Saving 6.0 technology, which should help the phone last for up to 62 hours of continuous music playback and 13 hours of video on a single charge.

There’s no word on pricing or availability, but expect the phone to be released in select regions where Huawei budget phones are well-known. It’ll come in black, blue, and gold.

Proven by both entries in the duology, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the quintessential medieval life simulator, bolstered by an engaging story to go along with its impressive gameplay. Despite having the series as the only items in its resume, Warhorse Studios has emerged as a developer you’d want to believe in, no matter what. And now, the studio is asking fans to stick with it in an entirely new world: Middle-earth.

Through now-viral posts on social media, Warhorse Studios announced two upcoming projects after Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Firstly, the studio will return to the Holy Roman Empire in “a new Kingdom Come adventure.”

A return to the series that made them famous is notable enough. After all, the two games were worthy candidates for their respective Game of the Year awards. However, the bigger news is the announcement of an upcoming open-world Middle-earth RPG.

Yes, that’s the same Middle-earth as The Lord of the Rings. Beyond that single description, Warhorse Studios has not announced anything else about the upcoming title, but there’s naturally a lot of excitement for the game.

Tolkien’s world has had a rough history littered with lackluster titles and outright flops like Return to Moria and Gollum. The last Middle-earth games that truly made heads turn in a good way were Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, which were both open-world RPGs.

There’s a lot of pressure riding on yet another Middle-earth game. Then again, Warhorse Studios has the chops to make it work.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a more rigorous RPG that has players learning to do everything including how to read. Will the Middle-earth RPG follow the same style?

AMD expands Ryzen PRO 9000 series processor lineup

AMD has announced an expansion of its enterprise desktop lineup with new Ryzen PRO 9000 Series processors. These are built on the Zen 5 architecture and set to debut in the second half of 2026.

This is the first time AMD is bringing its high-bandwidth 3D V-Cache technology into the commercial workstation segment.

This way, the company unlocks massive performance leaps for data-heavy professional industries.

The introduction of 3D V-Cache directly targets power users handling complex, intensive digital pipelines.

By vertically stacking additional last-level cache directly onto the processor die, the hardware drastically cuts down memory latency and accelerates data access.

Primary beneficiaries of this architecture are creative and technical professionals, including:

video editors and animators
3D artists and VFX creators
engineers and architects
developers and data scientists

The expanded hardware lineup spans configurations from six to 16 performance cores. Power limits break past traditional limits, or up to a sustained 170 watts to maintain peak clock speeds during overnight renders.

The range also makes the lineup scalable from compact desktop systems to full-scale tower workstation systems.

The AMD Ryzen PRO 9000 series also supports up to 256GB of memory to prevent system crashes. Enterprise system rollouts are expected to begin later this year.
