FIFA President Gianni Infantino is positive about India’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup 2026

The 2022 FIFA World Cup lately concluded with Argentina defeating France in a tense final. This World Cup was also the first to be hosted by an Arab nation and alternate overall in Asia. After yet another successful World Cup edition under his watch, FIFA chairman Gianni Infantino lately went live on Instagram for a Q&A session with the fans and answered many questions, including those on Indian football and India’s World Cup hopes.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino said about India’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup

Will India play in the next World Cup?

One of the questions Infantino was asked was if India is going to be part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The coming edition of the World Cup will be hosted concertedly by the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Will India be at the 2026 World Cup? 1.5 billion people want to see them. Infantino replied “ Well, I hope veritably soon. The coming men’s World Cup is with 48 brigades rather than 32 brigades. So India obviously has a chance to qualify. ”

He also assured the supporters of Indian football that FIFA is investing in the country to insure that it’s on the right path to reach the World Cup. “ What I can assure all our supporters in India is that we’re heavily investing in Indian football to make it big. Such a big country needs to have a great football competition and a great football platoon. So we’re working on that, ” said FIFA principal Gianni Infantino.

Gianni Infantino last visited India during the tests of the FIFAU-17 Women’s World Cup and saluted the nation for organizing the event well. In the last many times, India has hosted numerous global events like the FIFAU-17 Men’s World Cup in 2017 and the AFC Women’s Asian Cup in 2022. The President also editorialized that the country has the capability to host numerous further events in future and also has to make its grassroots stronger. India has qualified for the 2023 Asian Cup and their performance in the event will help assess how the country will progress in the forthcoming times.

AMD RDNA4 Architectures Leaks Online

0

The AMD RDNA4 architecture and the future Navi 41, Navi 42, and Navi 43 GPUs have been extensively covered by RedGamingTech. This is one of the first leaks from a known leaker, and while RGT has a track record of reliability, this article is still being treated as a rumour at this time because the information this early is often in flux and subject to change. So, salt shakers at the ready, let’s dive into this incredible delight of a leak from RGT.

The first item of business is that RGT confirms that the ALU count for RDNA4 CUs will stay exactly the same as RDNA 3 – that is, 128 ALUs per CU. GDDR7 memory is undoubtedly in play but has yet to be confirmed, and PCI-E 5.0 is extremely likely to be the standard of choice over PCI-E 6.0 because the latter will most likely not be ready in time.

Interestingly, the RDNA4 architecture will seek a raised 3.5 GHz clock frequency, which when paired with the other architectural changes represents a net performance per watt gain of roughly 50-60%.

One of the shortcomings of AMD’s RDNA3 architecture was the lack of ray tracing and AI/ML performance, which AMD hopes to address in RDNA4. Caches will be significantly upgraded, with the introduction of the 3rd Generation Infinity Cache and a new data prefetch architecture.

WMMA (Wave Matrix Multiply-Accumulate) V2 will also allow for two times the speed per CU for (supposedly) matrix instructions, allowing for full SIMD lane use. Despite the fact that the total increase in CUs is roughly 50%, the performance gain from generation to generation is 100%, which is fantastic to hear.

AMD Navi 41 – 144 CUs

However, the Navi 41 is said to have up to 32 GB of VRAM, most likely of the GDDR7 sort. A second version with 24 or 48 GB of GDDR7 and 6 MCDs is also available (the 32 GB variant has 4 MCDs). The Navi 41 will contain 144 CUs, which when clocked at 3.5 GHz and divided by 128 ALU per CU should result in a whopping 129 TFLOPs of FP32 performance. That is, without a doubt, a Godzilla level of performance.

AMD Navi 42 – 96 CUs

Navi 42 will be slightly muted, with a total of 12,288 CUs clocked at 3.5 GHz, yielding about 86 TFLOPs of FP32 performance. 96 CU is also the exact count of the RDNA3 flagship, the Radeon 7900 XTX, hence this SKU will represent the generation-over-generation comparison between RDNA3 and RDNA4 (or more accurately, as apples to apples its ever going to get). Specifications like this can and do change before the final edition, as RGT acknowledges in their slides.

AMD Navi 43 – 48 CUs

Finally, there will be the Navi 43, which will have 48 CUs. This will produce roughly 43 TFLOPs of FP32 performance when clocked at around 3.5 GHz. This is most likely the lower end of AMD’s RDNA4 portfolio, and it only goes to show how much performance is packed into this new RDNA4 design, where the “lower end” easily exceeds 40 TFLOPs. The memory standard will remain GDDR7, and it will include two MCDs. This is also the only SKU where RGT mentions that the GPU may not be of an MCM design, despite being promised that it is.

Apple iPhone SE 4 probably going to be scrapped

0

Apple‘s Pro and Pro Plus versions of iPhones have been the most popular models for the past few years, and the company’s numerous trials with the mid- to low-end models haven’t been successful.

Now, according to the most recent rumour from Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is anticipated to cancel the next Apple iPhone SE 4 smartphone or postpone the mass production of the gadget for 2024 due to lower-than-expected demand.

The full-screen design of the iPhone SE 4 has increasing material costs, which would also drive up the price of the smartphone on the market, is cited as another reason for the device’s cancellation.

iPhone SE 4

At a time when a worldwide recession is on the horizon, this can also help the business cut costs associated with developing new products, and anything Apple can save could benefit the brand.

The company’s objectives for sales are not being met by merely the iPhone SE variants. In contrast to expectations, the market demand for the Apple iPhone 13 Mini and the iPhone 14 Plus, which served as its successor for the new lineup, was incredibly low. Due to increased demand, the Cupertino-based tech giant had to increase manufacturing of the Pro models while decreasing the production of the 14 Plus model.

The news comes at a time when rumours and leaks have provided a fairly accurate description of what to anticipate from the iPhone SE 4 smartphone. A 6.1-inch 720p LCD display of the iPhone XR and a 3,000mAh battery with support for 20W fast charging and 7.5W wireless charging are among the specifications of the rumoured “flagship killer” smartphone. It may also be IP67-rated.

iPhone SE 4

Internally, the gadget is anticipated to be powered by the most recent Apple A16 Bionic chipset, which is also featured in the recently released Apple iPhone 14 Pro series, but it may instead use the A15 SoC seen in the iPhone 14 lineup.

There might be a single 12-megapixel sensor on the back and a 7-megapixel selfie camera at the front.

Although it has not yet been officially confirmed, we anticipate finding out more information about the iPhone SE 4 in the coming days from various sources. Until we have confirmation on this from other sources as well, we encourage you to treat this with a grain of salt.

AMD Ryzen 7000 Non-X CPU Benchmark Leaks Online

0

Benchmarks for all three AMD Ryzen 7000 Non-X 65W Desktop CPUs, including the Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 7600, have surfaced. The AMD Ryzen 7000 Non-X Desktop CPU family will include three processors: the Ryzen 9 7900, the Ryzen 7 7700, and the Ryzen 5 7600. These CPUs are set to be released on January 10th.

AMD Ryzen 9 7900 – 12 Zen 4 Cores For Just $429 US

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 processor will have 12 cores, 24 threads, 76 MB of cache (64 MB L3 + 12 MB L3), and a maximum clock speed of 5.4 GHz. The CPU will cost $429 USD, which is $120 USD more than the Ryzen 9 7900X. While the base clock remains unknown, the boost clock has been reduced by 200 MHz, but given the price point, this 12-core processor looks great, and I can already see a lot of people upgrading to this sub-$500 US 12-Core Zen 4 chip. AMD will place the processor alongside the Intel Core i9-13900 and Core i9-12900 CPUs.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 – Making AM5 Affordable For Entry-Level Builders

Finally, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 will have 6 cores, 12 threads, 38 MB of cache (32 MB L3 + 6 MB L2), and a maximum clock speed of up to 5.1 GHz. The CPU will cost $229 USD, which is $70 USD less than the Ryzen 5 7600X, which costs $299 USD. The boost clock of the ‘X’ chip is 200 MHz slower. The Ryzen 5 7600 will compete with the Core i5-13600 and Core i5-12600 CPUs.

AMD

At stock, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 CPU scores 2121 points in single-core tests and 18607 points in multi-core tests, but overclocked results show a 5% performance gain, closing the gap with the Ryzen 9 7900X. In the Geekbench 5 benchmark, the CPU performs similarly to Intel’s Core i9-12900KS.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 scores 2062 points in single-core tests and 12685 points in multi-core tests. Overclocking results in a minor gain in single-core performance but a 5% improvement in multi-threaded performance. Finally, the Ryzen 5 7600 scores 2012 in single-core tests and up to 11326 points in multi-core testing.

According to the performance figures, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 outperforms the Ryzen 9 7900X by 97%, the Ryzen 7 7700 outperforms the Ryzen 7 7700X by 92%, and the Ryzen 5 7600 outperforms the Ryzen 5 7600X by 98%. This is a really remarkable demonstration, and the leak also shows that these chips support overclocking, making them a significantly better bargain that should also consume little power and give improved efficiency at stock operation.

Overall, the chips appear to give the best performance per dollar value on the AM5 platform, and we may see cheaper A620 motherboards by the middle of 2023. AMD Ryzen 7000X3D 3D V-Cache CPUs will also be unveiled at CES 2023. The Non-X processors will be available in stores on January 10th.

Intel Core i5-13400F Raptor Lake CPU appears for $216 at a US Retail shop listing

0

ShopBLT, a US store, has advertised Intel’s Core i5-13400F, which is expected to become a popular budget CPU, for a tentative price of $216 US. The Intel Core i5-13400 will be available in both normal and ‘F’ variants, the latter of which lacks integrated graphics. The Core i5-13400F will be the best value for gamers, but if these early numbers are to be trusted, we may see a little price increase compared to last-gen.

The Intel Core i5-13400 CPU has six P-cores and four E-cores, for a total of ten cores and sixteen threads. The basic clock speed of the CPU is 2.5 GHz, with a boost clock speed of 4.1 GHz across all cores and 4.6 GHz on a single core. The CPU has 28 MB of L3 cache and a PL1 TDP of 65W and a PL2 TDP of roughly 120W. Given its performance boost and roughly $200 US price, the CPU should be a big seller in the budget market, where Intel’s 12th Gen series already dominates.

The new Intel Gen Core i5-13400 CPU series is predicted to give significantly greater performance than the Core i5-12400 CPUs due to increased core count and clock speeds while consuming somewhat more power.

The Core i5-13400 is priced at $243.68 on ShopBLT, while the Core i5-13400F is priced at $216.16. Both older models are currently $170.23 and $196.81 more expensive than the previous generation. The next-generation Intel processor series is over 27% more expensive than the Alder Lake variants, although this makes sense given that the core count is predicted to be larger (from six cores to ten). According to Cinebench leaks last week, the new Raptor Lake chips are predicted to perform up to 30% quicker in multi-core circumstances than Alder Lake.

It is expected that Intel will reveal the next 13th Generation Core processors at CES 2023, along with up to six more chip sets from the new series. All of the new CPUs will have the lowest base power consumption in the new Raptor Lake category, at 65W.

The new B760 motherboards are also likely to be compatible with Intel’s upcoming 13th Generation “Raptor Lake” processors. This is wonderful news for Intel because those motherboards support not only the new DDR5, but also DDR4 memory, which AMD failed to support with their new Ryzen 7000 CPUs, which are also slated to debut at next year’s CES 2023, which will be held in Las Vegas from January 3 to January 6, 2023.

Joan Laporta tells Barcelona fans not to get their expectations high for Lionel Messi’s return

Lionel Messi will forever remain a Barcelona legend, no matter what. He played for the Barcelona senior team for 17 years after coming through their youth ranks. He has won it all for Barcelona and was the flag bearer of the club. However, due to financial restrictions, Barcelona couldn’t renew the contract with Messi and he left as a free agent in 2021 and signed for PSG.

From the moment he left the Catalan club, the claims of bringing him back to Barcelona have been going on. The fans demand the return of Messi and the club officials also want the move to happen but that is not an easy task.

There were also rumours of Lionel Messi signing for MLS club Inter Miami after his PSG contract expires. But it has now been revealed that Messi has a verbal agreement with PSG to extend his contract, which is bad news for Barcelona fans who are hoping for their hero’s return.

Joan Laporta tells Barcelona fans not to get their expectations high for Lionel Messi’s return

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has now told the fans not to get their expectations high regarding the return of their prodigal son, Messi.

Laporta told Barcelona’s official media: “Yesterday we had a meeting with the media. We had conversations in a relaxed tone. It is obvious that I would like him to return one day. I would love to, but we can’t raise expectations.”

“He is a PSG player and has a contract with them. He has just won the World Cup. We are very happy for him. What I do not want is to generate expectations that is very difficult [to fulfil].”

“The levers were made to save the club because it was in a very complicated situation Now LaLiga has established limits to the levers. It would be possible to do one of these operations, but it wouldn’t be to sign a player.”

“For us, he is the best of all time. We have had him here and he has become a player here. I am convinced that he, in his heart, is a Barcelona fan and will always be linked to Barcelona. We would very much like him to come back, but we’ll see.”

Samsung raises the prices for its 3D NAND Memory

0

Following the US Department of Commerce’s blacklisting of China-based YMTC, Samsung hiked the pricing of its 3D NAND flash memory devices by 10% in the first half of December. According to a DigiTimes article, because several PC makers have temporarily ceased their collaboration with Yangtze Memory, demand for 3D NAND from other manufacturers has surged, prompting Samsung to raise its bids.

Following its inclusion on the DoC’s Unverified List, US legislators have publicly labelled YMTC as a threat to national security (UVL). As a result, Apple opted not to purchase 3D NAND from Yangtze Memory, even for iPhones that would be distributed in China.

Other PC OEMs appear to have followed suit and suspended their work with the Chinese flash memory manufacturer, either because they did not want to be involved in a political scandal or because they were unsure whether YMTC could supply enough memory on time, now that it can’t get tools from US-based companies without an export licence issued by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security.

As a result, demand for 3D NAND memory produced by other manufacturers, including as Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix, rose, and market leader Samsung even opted to raise its 3D NAND prices to capitalise on the situation, according to the report.

It is unknown how Samsung’s increase in contract 3D NAND pricing for the first half of December would effect 3D NAND prices in general, and solid-state drive prices in particular. Quotes for 3D TLC memory have been stagnant for months, therefore a little increase will be welcomed by flash memory producers. Meanwhile, Samsung doesn’t sell a lot of 3D NAND to other SSD makers, especially those who make some of the best SSDs on the market, so Samsung’s actions shouldn’t have a large impact on SSD costs.

What remains to be seen is when Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix’s lower 3D NAND output will have an effect on the market. TrendForce predicts that while actual device manufacturers have plenty of 3D NAND on hand, the impact of production reduction would not be felt until Q4 2022, and no estimates are made for Q1 2023.

In addition to a 3.5 mm audio connection, it has a micro SD card connector for memory expansion. Face Unlock is the tablet’s only means of security because it lacks a fingerprint scanner.

The Lenovo Tab M9 will be sold for 159 EUR (about $169) starting in February 2023.

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Season three has again returned back after three years along with a storyline that almost feels the same. All three episodes were written three years ago, and production was wrapped up before Russia and Ukraine’s war.

The filming of the series Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan was delayed due to the pandemic because everything was shut down at that time. Simultaneously, Krasinski also started focusing on a weekly homemade newcast called Some Good News, where he shared positive stories during a dark time. On the other hand when all the other people have made their focus on diet and exercise during the quarantine period.

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. It was released on 21st December 2022 i.e. yesterday. Tom CLancy’s Jack Ryan starred none other than Hollywood superstar John Krasinski. In this series, we will meet Ryan, now stationed in Rome, as he discovers an underground plot by Russia to invade surrounding countries and recreate the Soviet empire.

Krasinski jokes with himself Some Good News shape was ideal because you never saw him standing up as he was always seated like a newscaster. He said, “You didn’t even see the bottom half of me. That’s where I felt most comfortable”.

“It was actually a very cleansing thing,” said Krasinski, who is also an executive producer and helps write the episodes. He further, “I took a great responsibility with all these hundreds of people who were brave enough to put their lives on the line to bring back our industry in some small way.”

“It was almost like getting into my best possible shape and self, both physically and mentally, to prepare for something that we knew would be much more different and much more harrowing, but hopefully that much more worth it.”

About

In the new Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, we will see how his attempts to alert the CIA to his discovery about Russia result in the agency turning on him and issuing a Red Notice calling for his arrest and extradition back to the US to face charges. Ryan’s former boss James Greer assists as much as he can from the inside, and Ryan seeks out his old pal Mike November, who left the agency at the end of season two, to help thwart Russia’s plan.
