Ikuti Siti Saleha dan Suaminya Lutfi Dalam Siri Realiti Baharu KIX HD

Percutian idaman seringkali dikaitkan dengan membeli-belah atau menikmati pemandangan pantai yang indah. Namun ada juga yang mahukan pengembaraan lasak ketika bercuti. Oktober ini, saluran hiburan aksi KIX HD (Saluran Astro 729) bakal menayangkan rancangan siri realiti terbaharu, Extreme Ends, yang memaparkan sisi berlainan kota Hong Kong yang jarang dilawati pelancong.

Dibintangi empat selebriti dari empat negara Asia Tenggara, Saleha mewakili Malaysia dan menyahut cabaran ini bersama suaminya Ahmad Lutfi Azhar. Pasangan yang baru menyambut ulang tahun perkahwinan pertama mereka ini gemar mengembara dan sesuai untuk mengalami aktiviti berlainan yang dipilih untuk Extreme Ends. Setiap episod akan menampilkan seorang selebriti bersama tetamu istimewa mereka menghadapi tema bertentangan yang ekstrem seperti “Tinggi dan Rendah” atau “Siang dan Malam”. Tema-tema ini akan memaparkan wajah Hong Kong yang jarang dilihat serta mempamerkan perbezaan ketara yang sangat menarik dan ciri khas Hong Kong yang bergaya.

“Kami berbesar hati dapat bekerjasama sekali lagi dengan Lembaga Pelancongan Hong Kong dan teruja untuk memberikan pengalaman baharu kepada penonton bagi melihat perbezaan ketara negara Hong Kong. Penonton juga dapat mengenali dengan lebih dekat setiap selebriti yang terlibat kerana mereka akan ditemani orang tersayang sementara melalui aktiviti yang unik bersama. Secara tidak langsung, penonton akan berasa seperti turut bersama-sama mereka dalam pengembaraan di Hong Kong,” kata Betty Tsui, Naib Presiden, Pengaturcaraan – KIX dan Thrill, Celestial Tiger Entertainment.

“Kejayaan yang diraih oleh The Ultimate BROcation menambahkan keyakinan kami untuk sekali lagi menjalinkan kerjasama dengan Celestial Tiger Entertainment. Hong Kong terkenal sebagai destinasi pelancongan terpilih di kalangan penduduk Asia Tenggara dengan pelbagai pilihan untuk menjamu selera, membeli-belah, hiburan waktu malam dan acara hebat. Selain itu, negara ini turut menawarkan pelbagai aktiviti menarik serta tarikan alam semula jadi yang indah. Penampilan selebriti dari Asia Tenggara dalam siri ini akan memberikan inspirasi kepada penonton untuk menjelajahi tempat-tempat baharu di Hong Kong seperti penduduk tempatan,” kata Raymond Chan, Pengurus Serantau, Asia Tenggara, Lembaga Pelancongan Hong Kong.

Berkongsi pengalamannya menjayakan siri ini, Saleha berkata, “Memandangkan ini pengalaman pertama saya membintangi siri realiti pengembaraan, saya melakukan persediaan sebaik mungkin untuk siri Extreme Ends terbitan KIX HD ini. Namun apa yang saya lalui di Hong Kong sememangnya sesuatu yang sangat baharu bagi saya. Siapa sangka, Hong Kong mempunyai banyak aktiviti yang menarik dan unik. Kenangan yang paling saya tidak boleh lupa ialah pemandangan ketika mendaki pada waktu malam dan juga permainan pistol BB yang memerlukan saya memakai pakaian seragam askar. Seperkara lagi yang menarik ialah temu bual yang diadakan pada penghujung hari. Kami lebih mengenali antara satu sama lain sebagai pasangan suami isteri dan dapat belajar perkara baharu tentang diri masing-masing. Ini barulah pengembaraan sebenar!”

Untuk lebih banyak aksi menarik, jangan ketinggalan menyaksikan Extreme Ends yang akan ditayangkan secara eksklusif di KIX HD (Saluran Astro 729) pada 17 Oktober, setiap Rabu jam 9.30 malam!

Extreme Ends diterbitkan oleh syarikat induk KIX iaitu Celestial Tiger Entertainment, pengendali persendirian saluran pan Asia terbesar yang diterbitkan khusus untuk hiburan Asia. Rancangan ini ditaja oleh Lembaga Pelancongan Hong Kong dan disokong oleh Harbour City.

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*.
