Android Q To Allow Two Apps To Run Simultaneously With New Multi Resume Feature

The feature is called “Multi-Resume”, and like its namesake, will allow more than two apps to run simultaneously. Without either one of them having to enter into a pause state.

Apple A17 Chip May Prioritise Battery Life Over Power

As Bloomberg reports, “TSMC says that its 3nm processes offer better performance than its 5nm chips, while requiring about 35% less power”.
