Samsung quits Australian camera market

After Germany and the UK, Samsung has now pulled out of the camera market in Australia. “Due to changing market conditions, Samsung will reduce its focus on sales and marketing for its range of digital imaging products in this country,” the tech giant said.

AMD’s 7th Generation APU Brings Many Performance Tweaks And The Last Hurrah Before Zen

Advanced Micro Devices has already told us that 2016 was going to be the year of graphics, but the reality is that they also have a lot going on in their CPU and APU division as well. In fact, in addition to Advanced Micro Devices’s newly announced 7th Generation APUs in 2016, the company is also expected to launch their new Zen CPU cores which are being eagerly awaited by many in the industry. Zen won’t be in high-volume until 2017, so tweaks to the current generation is important.

It may not get the headlines, but it drives revenue, something the company needs now.
