eGG Network and co-organisers PGL and Imba TV are proud to present The Kuala Lumpur Major, the first Major status tournament for the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) 2018/2019 season.

Huawei Launches Kirin 980, the World’s First Commercial 7nm SoC

In his IFA 2018 keynote titled “The Ultimate Power of Mobile AI”, Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO Mr. Richard Yu introduced the Kirin 980, the system on a chip (SoC) that will bring about the next evolution of mobile AI. As the world’s first commercial SoC manufactured with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturer Company’s (TSMC) 7nm process, Kirin 980 combines best-in-class performance, efficiency, connectivity features, and Dual NPU AI processing power.

“Last year, we showed the world the potential of On-Device AI with the Kirin 970, and this year, we’ve designed an all-round powerhouse that not only features outstanding AI capabilities, but also brings cutting-edge raw performance to consumers,” said Mr. Yu. “Equipped with all-new CPU, GPU and Dual NPU, the Kirin 980 is the ultimate engine to power next-generation productivity and entertainment applications.”

Absolute Superiority

The cutting edge TSMC 7nm process technology enables Kirin 980 to pack 6.9 billion transistors within a 1cm2 die size, up 1.6 times from the previous generation. Compared to the 10nm process, the 7nm process delivers 20 percent improved SoC performance and 40 percent improved SoC efficiency.

The Kirin 980 is also the first SoC to embed Cortex-A76 cores, which are 75 percent more powerful and 58 percent more efficient compared to their previous generation. In an octa-core configuration, the CPU in Kirin 980 is comprised of two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores; two high-efficiency Cortex-A76 cores; and two extreme efficiency Cortex-A55 cores. To take full advantage of this unique configuration, Huawei developed an innovative Kirin CPU subsystem with Flex-Scheduling technology that flexibly allocates the right cores to the right tasks. This solution designates the large high-performance cores to handle immediate, intensive workloads; the large, high-efficiency cores to provide sustained performance; and ultra-efficiency cores to tackle everyday, light activities with extreme power efficiency. Running at higher clock speeds compared to the prior generation, Kirin 980 enables quicker app launch times, better multi-tasking and a generally smoother user experience.

As graphics in mobile games have become more and more sophisticated in recent years, Huawei has integrated the Mali-G76 GPU into the Kirin 980 to deliver unparalleled gaming experiences. Debuting with the Kirin 980, Mali-G76 offers 46 percent greater graphics processing power at 178 percent improved power efficiency over the previous generation. Mali-G76 also features an innovative clock boosting technology that utilizes AI to intelligently identify gaming workloads and adjust resource allocation for optimal gaming performance.

Industry’s First “Dual-Brain” Power

The latest Kirin SoC represents a new era of On-Device AI. The Dual NPU Kirin 980 elevates the On-Device AI experience with greater processing power and intelligence. The synergy between the Dual NPU results in an image recognition capability that is greater than the sum of two—the Kirin 980 can recognize up to 4,600 images per minute, up 120 percent compared to Kirin 970, further demonstrating Huawei’s industry leadership in the On-Device AI space. Additionally, Kirin 980 supports common AI frameworks such as Caffee, Tensorflow and Tensorflow Lite, and provides a suite of tools that simplifies the difficulty of engineering On-Device AI, allowing developers to easily tap into the leading processing power of the Dual NPU.

Full-Featured ISP

In pursuit of the best smartphone photography experience, Huawei integrated its proprietary fourth-generation ISP into the SoC. In addition to a 46 percent increase in data throughput compared to its predecessor, the new ISP also provides better support for multi-camera configurations, as well as an all-new HDR color reproduction technology that can manipulate picture contrast to highlight objects on various parts of an image. In addition, Kirin 980 utilizes the Multi-pass noise reduction solution that accurately removes artifacts without scrubbing away image details, resulting in better quality on images taken in low-light scenarios. Another new feature of the ISP is improved motion tracking. When a user attempts to snap a photo of a moving person, the ISP can still recognize the subject with 97.4 percent accuracy, so any user can capture fleeting moments with ease.

The rise of video-centric social media platforms brought together with it a surge of demand for video capture features. Kirin 980 adopts a new pipeline dedicated to processing video captures, allowing the camera module to shoot videos with 33 percent shorter delay.

World-Class Connectivity

To deliver the best connectivity to users of Kirin 980-powered devices, Huawei integrated the world’s first modem supporting LTE Cat.21 with a peak download speed of 1.4Gbps. Additionally, the Kirin 980 supports carrier aggregation, even across frequency bands, so users are free to choose their mobile operators and still enjoy the same premium connectivity experience, regardless of where they are.

Inspired by Nature

At IFA 2018, Huawei also announced the launch of two new gradient variants for the HUAWEI P20 Series: Morpho Aurora and Pearl White, expanding its range of gradient colors to four. When creating these two unique hues, Huawei once again turned to nature for inspiration. The Morpho Aurora was inspired by the Morpho butterfly, while the Pearl White exudes the same elegance as the iridescent mother-of-pearl. The new gradient variants are now available at Huawei Authorized Retailers.

The next-generation AI experience is around the corner. Stay tuned for the launch of the first Kirin 980-powered Mate Series device, which is scheduled to arrive in October*.

Lim Wen Suen, Winner of The Voice Singapore & Malaysia, joins Universal Music Group

Lim Wen Suen, champion of The Voice Singapore & Malaysia 2017, has officially joined Universal Music Group. In conjunction with the signing, Wen Suen has released her highly anticipated brand new single, The World Will Remember My Name《這世界終會記得我的名字》on available on all digital music platforms on 24 August 2018.

Following the inaugural season of The Voice Singapore & Malaysia last year, Wen Suen and the rest of the top 8 finalists recorded a compilation album. Appreciative of all the support they’ve gotten throughout the competition, the top 8 finalists did an extensive promotional tour in Malaysia. Since then, Wen Suen’s been focusing on producing this new single. She hopes to share a different and lesser known side of herself as compared to what her fans already know her for.

Lim Wen Suen

Widely known for her powerhouse vocals, The World Will Remember My Name is a mixture of pop and traditional folk genre. The song is written and produced by renowned Malaysian producer, Guan Qiyuan (管启源). During recording, Guan guided and challenged Wen Suen to deviate from her usual singing style in order to present herself in her rawest form. With that in mind, Wen Suen managed to finish recording her vocals in just an hour.

Wen Suen joked, “Guan wanted me to steer away from the singing techniques that I’m used to, and suddenly I felt like I didn’t know how to sing at all.”

While it is not Wen Suen’s first time collaborating with Guan, it is through the production of this single that Wen Suen made a lasting impression on him. Despite being known for her vocal prowess, Guan intentionally made Wen Suen sing in low notes for the song. Wen Suen’s real challenge was to hit the low notes at the start of the song. Instead of letting Wen Suen do her vocal warmups before recording, Guan specifically reminded her not to warm up her vocals so that she would not start the song on a perfect high note.

After emerging as the champion of The Voice, Wen Suen’s popularity soared. She has since received many performing opportunities too. While there is some pressure on her for this single following her win, Wen Suen is still thankful for all the support she has been receiving.  and will strive to work towards creating more great music for all to enjoy.

With a major record slated to be released in Q4 of 2018 and coupled with a strong vocal prowess that belies her petite stature, this is one name that you will remember – Lim Wen Suen.
