BOC Launches Balikbayan Box Tracker

In line with the upcoming holiday festivities, the Bureau of Customs has recently put up a helpful online-based tracker that will help Filipinos to check the status of the balikbayan boxes that were shipped by their loved ones abroad.

The Balikbayan Box Tracker, which can be found on the link below this post, contains all of the things you need to know about your package. It provides information such as the courier name, country of origin of the package, Bill of Landing and the current status of the balikbayan box.

All that is needed to track a package is the cargo forwarder’s name and the Bill of Landing (BL) number of the shipment that the package is in.

Users may either go to the Balikbayan Box Tracker’s minisite and key in the required information there, or download the excel file and search the package offline. Of course, it’s always best to refer to the online tool as it will be up to date.

5 of the Most Powerful Mobile processors of 2014

Mobile processors in phones this year have surpassed the computing powers of a lot of computers from a decade ago. Here are the top 5 fastest smartphone processors available in the market for 2014.

Huawei Kirin 925. The Kirin 925 is the latest and fastest chip developed by the Chinese company. It uses a 28nm HPM process and runs a pair of quad-core chips — 4x Cortex-A15 + 4 x Cortex-A7 big.LITTLE.

The GPU is powered by a Mali-T628 MP4 running at 600MHz.

What is most interesting with the Kirin 925 is that it is capable of supporting dual-SIM functionality with both dual-LTE radios.

Mediatek MT6795. Not to be outdone, MediaTek finally released its octa-core chip with LTE connectivity. The MT6795 is clocked at 2.2GHz, all 8 cores of them based on ARM Cortex-A53.

Graphics is powered by a PowerVR G6200 @ 700 MHz that can handle up to 2560×1600-pixel display.

We have not yet seen any recognizable phone brands that uses the MT6795 but we’ve seen some leads from Chinese online stores of close phones (Galaxy Note 4) running the chip.

NVidia Tegra K1. Released around the 2nd quarter of 2014, the Tegra K1 uses a 28nm HPM process and runs on ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore R3 plus a low power companion core. Each of the 4 cores clocks up to 2.3GHz.

The GPU uses GK20A Kepler micro-architecture with capacity of 364.79 GFLOPS (with core configuration of 192:8:4). That is a lot of cores!

However, very few devices are using it — including the NVidia Shield Tablet and the XiaoMi MiPad.

Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5433. This chip uses a 20 nm HKMG process running a quad-core Cortex-A57+ quad-core Cortex-A53 (big.LITTLE with GTS) implementation. The GPU is powered by a Mali-T760 MP6 @ 700 MHz with 206 GFLOPS (FP16).

The chip is developed by Samsung and being used in the Galaxy Note 4. However, it’s possible that might offer the same to other friendly brands.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 805. Perhaps the most popular among the mobile chipsets right now is the Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm. It is being used by the most number of phone brands.

The Snapdragon 805 is based on 28nm HPm process and runs on a quad-core processor with each core running at 2.7GHz. Graphics is powered by an Adreno 420 GPU.
