Intel Releases 12th Gen Alder Lake Chips
In July the processor giant Intel previewed a chip the company has been teasing since the beginning of the year at its 2021 Architecture Day event, and made promises of hybrid CPUs for desktops and laptops. Months later the 12th Gen Alder Lake chip is finally here, and boasted by the company to usher in a new era of Intel chips. Leading the lineup of new chips, the Core i9-12900K CPU Intel promises is the world’s best gaming processor.
Microsoft Joins Metaverse Efforts
We’ve all seen the movies like Ready Player One that depict a futuristic society wherein life is conducted in a virtual world. While today’s technology isn’t quite up to par, this hasn’t stopped multiple tech companies from jumping on the bandwagon in efforts to be the first to create the Metaverse. Facebook, now called Meta, CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently took a large step toward this virtual future when he changed the name of his company to Meta to better reflect the company’s virtual reality ambitions. Since then other companies have raced to make similar adjustments and to take their own steps toward the metaverse goal. Joining efforts to bring a virtual reality future to life, Microsoft has released tools specifically engineered for the Metaverse.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s a perfect time to express our sincere gratitude for the men and women who have fought bravely and served our country.

HOBI International Inc. would like to recognize all those who have provided us with the freedom and rights that we have today, every man and woman who have sacrificed so much of their lives for their country.
