Amazon drops bomb on rumors of it Buying EA

According to sources cited by CNBC on Friday, Amazon.com Inc is not anticipated to make a bid for Electronic Arts Inc (EA.O), disproving a previous rumour that the online retailer would do so today.

Following the USA Today article on Amazon’s buyout offer for the owner of “FIFA” and “Apex Legends,” EA shares increased 15% in premarket trading. Early trading saw a 4% increase in the stock, giving the business a market value of almost $37 billion.

As far as rumours and M&A speculation go, Amazon and EA said they don’t comment. With around $37 billion in cash on hand, Amazon has begun looking for acquisitions to expand its company outside cloud computing and e-commerce under the leadership of new CEO Andy Jassy.

Just weeks after deciding to purchase primary healthcare provider One Medical for $3.5 billion, the business made an offer earlier this month to purchase Roomba manufacturer iRobot Corp for $1.7 billion.

Twitch’s owner, Amazon, also paid $8.5 billion to acquire MGM Studios, the company behind the “Rocky” and “James Bond” films.

According to analysts, EA is a desirable choice for digital firms trying to catch the attention of a younger audience because of its robust licences, intellectual property rights, and capacity to create new games in the metaverse.

Bets on the metaverse had also been the driving force behind Microsoft Corp.’s $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard Inc., the company behind “Call of Duty” and an EA competitor.

As the pandemic-driven increase in demand ebbs, the latest deals are also erasing the distinction between personal computer and mobile gaming companies and coming against the backdrop of a faltering global gaming industry.

According to research firm Newzoo’s data, the worldwide gaming market is only predicted to expand by 2% in 2022 compared to the previous year, a sharp decline from the 23% growth seen in 2020.

EA predicted disappointing adjusted sales figures, claiming that it was not “totally immune” to the recession. Prior to Thursday’s closure, its shares had dropped by around 3%, as opposed to Take-nearly Two’s 30% decline.

Intel Raptor Lake Core i3-13900 Processor posts amazing 5.58GHz Boost Clock in Geekbench

This time, someone supposedly revealed the specifications and performance numbers of Intel’s 65W Core i9-13900 processor by posting benchmark results to the Geekbench 5 database (via @BenchLeaks). Take the numbers with a grain of salt for the time being.

With eight high-performance Raptor Cove cores with Hyper-Threading (optimised Golden Cove cores) and 16 energy-efficient Gracemont cores without simultaneous multithreading, the Intel Core i9-13900 is a fully-fledged Raptor Lake silicon chip that can handle up to 32 threads at once. In contrast, the Intel Core i9-12900 can handle up to 24 threads at once because it contains eight Golden Cove and eight Gracemont cores.

The Core i9-13900 CPU from Intel appears to have more energy-efficient cores than the Core i9-12900.

Its performance in multi-threaded applications is considerably impacted by this, although it also has significantly higher turbo clocks for the performance cores—5576 MHz vs. 5081 MHz. This would suggest a pronounced advantage in workloads with only one thread.

The new 65W Raptor Lake CPU looks to outperform the 65W Alder Lake processor on Geekbench 5’s single-core integer and single-core floating point workloads by 17% and 12%, respectively, because to its high turbo clocks and a larger L3 cache.

At least according to a synthetic benchmark, the new CPU appears to be 9.6% faster in integer and 15% faster in floating point workloads when it comes to multi-thread workloads.

Barcelona register Jules Kounde with La Liga

0

Barcelona have finally registered Jules Kounde with La Liga, following his signing from Sevilla. The centre-back can now make his competitive debut for the Blaugrana, and he is expected to make the squad against Real Valladolid today. 

Due to their financial constraints, Barcelona needed to make a few sales in order to register the Frenchman. At this stage, they have not been able to achieve that, but have somehow registered Kounde with the league so that they can play him in their competitive games. 

Jules Kounde registered with La Liga 

If he wasn’t registered by August 31, Kounde would’ve been able to leave the club as a free agent. But, that will not happen anymore since he has finally been registered as a new Barcelona player. 

The club is now expected to complete the signing of Chelsea full-back Marcos Alonso in the coming days. The Spaniard will also be registered prior to the deadline, since a deal has already been agreed with the Premier League club for his signing. 

Barcelona are one of Europe’s top spenders this summer, despite being unable to pay their existing players wages. They have signed Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie with the last two arriving on a free transfer. 

A deal with Chelsea for Aubameyang has proven to be difficult, while Memphis Depay looks set to stay after talks with Juventus collapsed

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 Specification leak shows the cards having Over 2.5 Ghz clock speed

According to the newest leaker on the block, @QbitLeaks, NVIDIA’s upcoming mainstream GeForce RTX 4060 Ti & RTX 4060 graphics cards have apparently been tested. The sweet spot price range for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 will be between $300 and $500 US. On the most recent Ada Lovelace graphics architecture, these two graphics cards are anticipated to be released.

Now, the leaks are from a brand-new leaker, whose reliability is as of yet unknown, but I suppose everyone starts somewhere. So let’s look at the specifications that @QbitLeaks or FCL have provided for us. Remember that these are all just rumours, so treat them with caution.

According to reports, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti uses the AD104-180-A1 GPU core, which has 6144 FP32 cores or 48 SMs. In comparison to the entire chip, which delivers 60 SMs or 7680 cores overall, it is a 20% reduction in SM units.

The graphics card is said to have 10 GB of GDDR6 memory spread across a 160-bit bus interface, and it should operate at 17.5 Gbps for 350 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU core is anticipated to operate at an average clock speed of about 2600 MHz, and the card’s TBP is speculated to be between 270 and 280W.

The AD106 GPU core, which has 3968 FP32 cores or 31 SMs on the AD106-300 die, is anticipated to be used in the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, the graphics card’s non-Ti iteration.

In comparison to the complete 36 SM die, or 4608 FP32 cores, there are 14% fewer SMs. The graphics card is anticipated to include 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, running at 17 Gbps for 272 GB/s of bandwidth through a 128-bit bus interface. The RTX 4060 from NVIDIA may also have an average clock speed of up to 2700 MHz and a TBP of 230–240W.

The core count increases by 26% and 11%, respectively, based solely on the specifications, although the memory capacity appears to have altered dramatically since the prior generations. While the RTX 4060 has a 4 GB memory reduction, the RTX 4060 Ti receives a 2 GB memory capacity increase but with lesser bandwidth and a reduced bus interface (160 vs. 256-bit).

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is said to be 70-80 Watt higher than its predecessor, and the RTX 4060 is 40W higher than its predecessor, which results in a significant boost in TBP. If this is the case, an RTX 4060 will use more energy than an RTX 3070. (220W). Kopite7kimi had previously mentioned that the RTX 4060 from NVIDIA would use more power than the RTX 3070.

Samsung is planning to keep its Exynos SoCs poweed with AMD’s GPUs

Samsung will continue to use AMD’s RDNA designs for its future built-in GPUs, the consumer electronics giant announced on Thursday, despite the Xclipse 920 integrated graphics processing unit’s underwhelming performance relative to expectations. Even though ray tracing is not its finest suit, AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 range of GPUs, based on the RDNA 2 architecture, is without a doubt the company’s most competitive GPU lineup in many years.

“We plan to continue to implement other features in the RDNA series by working closely with AMD going forward,” said Sungboem Park, a vice president of Samsung who oversees GPU development. “In general, mobile tends to lag around five years or so behind consoles when it comes to graphics technology, however, we were able to incorporate the latest console technologies in the Exynos 2200 mobile processor quickly through our collaboration with AMD. 

However, neither in compute nor graphics workloads did Samsung’s Exynos 2200 system-on-chip for smartphones, which is based on the same architecture, particularly shine with the Xclipse 920 graphics processor. As the head of Qualcomm recently announced, Samsung signed a contract with Qualcomm to use its Snapdragon SoCs with Adreno graphics for its forthcoming Galaxy S-series smartphones globally (ComputerBase first noticed this). Ironically, Eric Demers, a former GPU architect at AMD, ATI, and ArtX, has been in charge of Qualcomm’s Adreno (a play on the name Radeon).

Currently, Samsung sells its Galaxy S smartphones in Asia and the US using Qualcomm’s high-end Snapdragon SoCs, while devices marketed in Europe use its own Exynos SoCs.

The new agreement permits Samsung to employ Exynos for Galaxy S handsets sold in Europe, but it does not mandate that it do so. As a result, Samsung might not use Exynos if it has an Exynos SoC with a competitive CPU and GPU implementation.

However, Samsung is undoubtedly taking precautions with its selection of SoCs and GPUs because, according to Qualcomm, it also plans to use Snapdragons for other mobile products.

The actual implementation is very important, even if AMD’s RDNA designs are feature-rich and scalable in terms of performance, power, and die size. A GPU realisation depends on a variety of variables, including design choices, cost, process technology, the engineering team’s knowledge in general and with a certain GPU architecture in particular. Therefore, Samsung may eventually develop a competitive RDNA-based integrated GPU, but not until its engineers have gained general GPU development experience, which they can only do by continuing to develop graphics processors.

Mahindra Group: Viral video shows how the company’s New Scorpio-N is Manufactured at its Pune Plant

Anand Mahindra, the Chairman of Mahindra Group, has uploaded a video on his Twitter account demonstrating how the all-new Scorpio-N is made at the company’s state-of-the-art Chakan Facility in Pune, Maharashtra.

The video, which has gone viral on the internet, shows the Chakan facility, which the business claims has world-class production capabilities and cutting-edge technology, as well as the procedure by which the brand’s latest SUV Scorpio-N is built. Mahindra also has plants at Zaheerabad, Haridwar, Nashik, and Kandivali.

In addition to producing passenger cars, Mahindra also manufactures motorcycles, commercial vehicles, pickup trucks, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and pickup trucks under its own brand and as the Classic Legends brand, a subsidiary of the Mahindra Group that has brought back Yezdi, Jawa, and BSA Motorcycles, three of the original two-wheeler brands. It’s interesting to note that Mahindra is a conglomerate with interests in many other industries, with the automotive industry being one of its most lucrative.

Mahindra has the most sales of any tractor manufacturer worldwide.

The 700-acre Chakan facility of a domestic manufacturer has a 3,00,000-vehicle manufacturing capacity that, according to the firm, may be increased in response to demand. This facility produces commercial trucks in addition to the Scorpio-N, ranging from 0.75-tonne light commercial vehicles to 49-tonne Navistar trucks.

The corporation claims that more than 1,000 people are employed in this plant, despite the fact that robots handle the majority of the output. However, the Chakan factory of Mahindra does not produce either tractors or motorcycles.

The manufacturing video for the Scorpio-N demonstrates the sheet metal stamping process used to create the SUV’s body as well as the robots that assist in joining these frames using pre-made jigs before spot welding is used to create the exoskeleton.

After the exoskeleton of the SUV has been built, the entire body is subjected to various chemical pools for surface treatment and ionisation before surface preparation, which is primarily done by robots. After this stage, robots continue painting the SUV’s body in layers with some aid from certain humans who take over the robots’ hard-to-reach portions to finish the painting operation.

The exoskeleton is then attached to the surface-coated ladder-frame chassis, drivetrain, and suspension parts of the SUV. Interior furnishings and electrical systems are applied like meat on bones when the ladder structure and SUV body are united.

Reliance Investor Meet: Investors expecting huge declarations from Muskesh Ambani

Mukesh Ambani’s once-a-year investor address has turned into a much-anticipated declaration on his $222 billion empire, similar to Warren Buffett’s annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. This year, investors will be waiting for information on Monday on Reliance Industries Ltd.’s 5G deployment, how he expects to unlock the value of his telecom and retail units through separate listings, and when and how his children will take over the reins.

The 65-year-old billionaire, who transformed Reliance into India’s largest firm by market value and a formidable conglomerate, has used the address for a number of significant announcements, so anticipation is high. These include the introduction of his innovative cellular service in 2016, the planned investment in Reliance’s energy sector by Saudi Arabian Oil Co. in 2019, and a strategic switch to green energy last year.

A global economic downturn and Gautam Adani’s meteoric rise, who earlier this year surpassed Mukesh Ambani as Asia’s richest man and is now establishing himself as a rival power centre on the corporate landscape, present the refining-to-retail group with two formidable obstacles as they prepare for their annual shareholder meeting.

Investors in Reliance will expect “clarity and specific time lines for the next big things” from Ambani’s more centralised holdings, according to Kranthi Bathini, equity strategist at WealthMills Securities Pvt Ltd. in Mumbai. Investors will remember how Adani’s conglomerate split its business into different listings years ago, unlocking value. Adani’s wealth has increased by $58 billion this year as a result of the stock market bounce, while Ambani’s has increased by $3.3 billion.

Reliance At a local spectrum auction, Jio Infocomm spent over $11 billion on airwaves in an effort to gain an advantage over its smaller rivals, Bharti Airtel Ltd. and Vodafone Idea Ltd., in the deployment of faster 5G networks.

The initial public offerings of Reliance Jio and Reliance Retail Ltd. have been anticipated by the market, especially after the two consumer businesses raised $27 billion from illustrious international investors in 2020.

The largest reform Ambani is currently in charge of is the $76 billion shift toward renewable energy. Given the conglomerate’s roots in petrochemicals and crude oil refining, as well as the current disproportionate contribution of the fossil fuel-led industries to Reliance’s annual revenue, the transition is also challenging.

Reliance has shown interest in significant international transactions during the previous year, including an unfulfilled possible acquisition of the British drugstore giant Boots. Investors want to know if there is still a desire for international acquisitions in the midst of a weakening global economy.
