The USB Promoter Group recently unveiled USB 4 version 2.0, which offers significant improvements over the previous specification. The major improvement in version 2.0 is a twofold increase in bandwidth from 40 Gbps to an astounding 80 Gbps.
Due to this significant improvement, USB 4 Version 2.0 is now among the best connectivity protocols available. with speeds that are faster than any USB Thunderbolt standard now in use, including Thunderbolt 4, which has a 40 Gbps speed limit, similar to USB4.
The unexpectedly quick speeds of version 2.0 are attributable to USB4’s new physical layer architecture. Version 2.0 employs newly defined 80 Gbps USB Type-C active cables in addition to the 40 Gbps passive cables already present in USB4 Type-C to reach the 80 Gbps threshold.
The display functionality has also been updated in the new USB4 version. Including a bandwidth enhancement for USB 3.2 data tunnelling above 20Gbps while using other modes like DisplayPort mode. The most recent versions of the PCIe specification and the DisplayPort standard are now included in USB4 Version 2.0.
The original USB4 standard, USB 3.2, USB 2.0, and Thunderbolt 3 are all backwards compatible with USB 4 Version 2.0, as they are with all prior USB versions.
According to the USB group, Version 2.0 was developed especially for customers who operate multiple USB devices, such as docks, high-performance monitors, and more, using a single USB port. This makes a lot of sense because the 80Gbps of bandwidth in version 2.0 is just too much for the vast majority of people.
India’s homegrown automaker Mahindra seems to be determined to become one of the leading EV manufacturer companies. Mahindra has exposed total give electric SUV ideas in the last month. Rach concepts, one after another are a big blockbuster for car lovers. Recently, Mahindra collaborates with VW, which indicates an EV shower for the customers. The company wants to license its proprietary scalable MEB EV architecture.
One thing is true this partnership’s worth will be understood in 2023, or later. Now, Mahindra will not allow eating the EV market fruit alone by Tata via Nexon EV which has featured 85% of the 4W EV segment. Mahindra has launched their XUV400 Electric based on SsangYong Tivoli’s main dimensions of 4.2m. The latest spy shots have confirmed the presence of the sunroof.
Mahindra XUV400: Specifications
Last time, the teaser provides an overall concept of the XUV400 Electric front fascia. On looking at the teaser, it might be reduced instantly like the predecessor XUV300 Electric concept that had showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo. The car holds quite a familiar headlight, and also gets Bloomberg-shaped LED DRLs that are very nice.
In the teaser, the main highlight is the profile of XUV400. The car holds Ssangyong Tivoli’s exact length of 4.2m that had decreased to git a 4m constraint to become fit into the B-segment. The EVs don’t benefit from the hack anymore. The EV has its retained dimensions. Apart from its 4.2m length, XUV400 Electric comes with a much more proportionate and attractive look.
The mentioned lengths just permit Mahindra to provide a bigger boot that was the Achilles Heal of XUV300. The car also inherits 17” wheels from its predecessor XUV300. In XUV300 there were not any AC vents but they will be available in XUV400 Electric. The brand-new spy video from PowerStroke PS confirms the presence of the sunroof in the latest Electric XUV 400.
Mahindra’s XUV 400 follows the MEB platform from VW titled INGLO not going to offer with XUV400. All of the five EVs that have been unveiled by Mahindra on 15th August will be on the latest platform. The new XUV400 Electric will get NMC cells originating from LG Chem and also considered to be superior to LFP cells that have been used on the tough rival Nexon EV Prime and Nexon EV Max.
We are assuming XUV 400 will have 150 bhp of power along with a 400 km claiming range, and 300 km of the real world range from 40-45 kWh battery pack. Mahindra is trying to give more features for the customers like large touchscreen infotainment with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay a sunroof, wireless phone charger, ADAS features, and also dual-zone climate control, 7 Airbags, and many more safety features.
Mahindra XUV400:Price
XUV400 may offer two battery pack options with Nexon EV. The EV could cost Rs 15-20 lakh(ex-sh) to compete against the current best selling EV i.e. Nexon. The maximum cost of Nexon EV is from Rs 18.34 lakh to Rs 19.84 lakh, while MG ZS starts from Rs. 21.99 lakh.
Just weeks after Congress passed $52 billion in additional funding to increase domestic chip manufacturing, Micron announced on Thursday that it will invest $15 billion to develop a new semiconductor plant in Idaho.
The CHIPS and Science Act, which the Biden administration just authorised, has been the target of a number of multibillion-dollar proposals, the latest of which was announced by Micron. Micron announced last month that it would use the extra subsidies provided by the act to invest $40 billion in US memory fabs by 2030, adding an estimated 40,000 new jobs. Over the next eight years, the new Boise plant is anticipated to generate 17,000 new jobs, including 2,000 Micron jobs.
In a Thursday statement, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra thanked the Biden administration for finishing the bipartisan chips legislation. “Our new leading-edge memory manufacturing fab will fuel US technology leadership, ensuring a reliable domestic supply of semiconductors that is critical to economic and national security,” Mehrotra said.
President Joe Biden celebrated Micron’s latest investment in a statement on Thursday, calling it “another big win for America.”
But it wasn’t apparent until last month whether the CHIPS and Science Act would pass this year until it finally did. Intel postponed the groundbreaking for a new $20 billion chip factory in Ohio as the financing for it stagnated in Congress, and even went so far as to propose to the Biden administration taking over an abandoned Chinese plant rather than waiting for the funding’s approval. The New York Times claims that these advertisements terrified lawmakers and caused them to move more quickly to pass the bill.
The Columbus Dispatch stated that the president would attend a new groundbreaking for Intel’s plant this month shortly after Biden signed the legislation into law. It would require 7,000 workers to construct and, according to the business, would be the “largestsilicon manufacturing location on the planet.”
Biden issued an executive order last week to begin distributing the billions in subsidies to businesses like Micron and Intel.
Although a new interagency council was established by Biden’s order to monitor the implementation, it is currently unknown when the Commerce Department will formally release the additional cash.
The federal government has invested billions in generating domestic IT and manufacturing jobs through Biden administration priorities including the CHIPs programme and the bipartisan infrastructure law.
“Just this week, we’ve seen First Solar, Toyota, Honda, and Corning make major announcements of new investments and new jobs as a direct result of my economic plan,” Biden said on Thursday. “In our future, we will make EVs, chips, fiber optics, and other critical components here in America, and we will have an economy built from the bottom up and middle out.”
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm made $3.1 billion in funds available to US businesses in April to help increase the use of electric vehicles. An energy start-up by the name of Sparkz revealed plans to erect a new battery facility in northern West Virginia earlier this week.
Sumeet Passi and Cleiton Silva got two goals each for EEB while Lallianzuala Chhangte had a brace as well for MCFC, where a crazy first half saw six of the seven goals being scored. Greg Stewart scored the other goal for MCFC.
East Bengal 4-3 Mumbai City FC
The Red & Golds suffered an unfortunate loss against arch-rivals ATK Mohun Bagan a few days back. The team, after keeping two clean sheets, went on to concede an own goal. Stephen Constantine’s side is looking forward to their first win of the competition.
Cleiton Silva had his first shot on target in the 17th minute which Nawaz saved but seconds later Semboi Haokip snatched the ball in the middle of the MCFC half and played Jerry down the left just outside the box. The Mizo left wing-back drove in and delivered a cross which found Sumeet Passi unmarked on the far post. His header back across the keeper found the target for EB’s first of the tournament.
Mumbai City FC hit back in the 27th minute as Bipin’s cross was chested down for Stewart to volley it with a superb sidekick and get one goal back. In the 34th Cleiton made another amazing run down the spine and sprayed it on the right for Passi, whose shot cum cross went through the hands of Nawaz in the Mumbai City FC goal.
Mumbai City were level in the 43rd minute after Alberto Noguera’s shot was parried by Kamaljit as Bipin’s cross into the box was met with a thunderous strike by Chhangte that flew into the back of the net. It was a crazy 20 minutes after that which saw two goalkeeping blunders and four more goals being scored, one by the Red & Golds and three by the Islanders.
In the 81st minute, Cleiton won the ball in midfield and passed it onto Amarjit Kiyam on the right and then ran up to meet the cross. He did, ahead of a waiting Eliandro to hand East Bengal what proved to be the winner. This time, they managed to hold on to the joy of their supporters.
It was not only East Bengal’s first win of the campaign, but also the first time they had scored and they made it up by scoring all of four on the day. Islanders had already booked their place in the quarter-finals as East Bengal having crashed out after their loss to arch-rivals ATK Mohun Bagan in the Kolkata derby. The final game in the group between Rajasthan United FC (RUFC) and Indian Navy on Monday, September 05, 2022, will determine who among ATK Mohun Bagan and RUFC take the second qualifying spot for the knockouts.

Nottingham Forest smashed the record for the most transfers in a single window by a Premier League club, signing 21 players in the summer of 2022. Scottish sides Dundee (summer of 2000) and Livingston (2001) held the previous record, with 19 incomings.
Club owner Evangelos Marinakis has backed Steve Cooper to the greatest extent possible. The manager now has a brand new squad to work with, as reinforcements have arrived in every position.

The likes of James Garner, Philip Zinckernagel, Max Lowe, Keinan Davis, Brice Samba and Djed Spence all returned to their parent clubs after their loan spells expired. Over 20 players left the club at the end of the season, after winning promotion to the top flight.
As a result, the massive incoming list was necessary for the playoff winners to have a competitive squad.
Here is the list of Nottingham Forest signings:
Goalkeepers
Dean Henderson
Wayne Hennessey
Defenders
Renan Lodi
Willy Boly
Neco Williams
Harry Toffolo
Loic Bade
Cheikhou Kouyaté
Omar Richards
Giulian Biancone
Moussa Niakhaté
Midfielders
Orel Mangala
Morgan Gibbs-White
Jesse Lingard
Remo Freuler
Lewis O’Brien
Brandon Aguilera
Attackers
Emmanuel Dennis
Taiwo Awoniyi
Hwang Ui-jo
Josh Bowler
It is important to note, though, that some of these players have also been loaned out and won’t be a part of the squad for the season. The issue now becomes the integration of all these players into the fold, and having a cohesive dressing room which can lead to results on the pitch.
Steve Cooper proved his worth when he won the play-offs last season. And now, he has a bigger challenge in front of him in the Premier League.

In the Cinebench R23 benchmark, AMD’s flagship Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core CPU’s most recent benchmark results have been revealed. The same user posted updated findings that are now being cooled by a 360mm AIO liquid cooler. The CPU still operates at its default all-core boost frequency of 5.0 GHz, but it achieves a much higher multi-threaded score of 36256 points.
The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X is the top-tier Zen 4 CPU and costs $699 US. It competes with Intel’s 12th Gen Core i9-12900K and the soon-to-be-released 13th Gen Core i9-13900K. (via Harukaze5719).
credit: wccftech
The leaker claims that the CPU is a close-to-retail processor with a base speed of 4.5 GHz, a boost clock of 5.7 GHz, and an all-core boost frequency of 5.0 GHz. On the 16 GB of DDR5-5600 memory installed in the Gigabyte AORUS X670E Xtreme motherboard, the chip was operating at default speeds and a default voltage of 1.48V. According to the user, the board will cost about 4999 Yuan, or about $700 USD. Let’s first discuss the parameters before moving on to the performance.
According to reports, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X has a score of around 19800 while the Ryzen 5 7600X has a score of about 15100.
In comparison to its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 7600X is 34% quicker, however it is slower than the i5-12600K. While also being slightly slower than the Core i7-12700K, the Ryzen 7 7700X is about 29% faster than its predecessor.
it get the same score of mine es test.(37k, 240w 5.1Ghz 96℃ in360aio)
We can’t say for sure if the chip was affected by thermal throttling because that seems to be the case with many samples because the performance was assessed using an air-cooler. With that said, we can also evaluate the Ryzen 9 7950X’s performance in comparison to the Core i9-13900K, the top-of-the-line Raptor Lake processor. The AMD Zen 4 CPU appears to be about 4% slower in single-core performance and 10% slower in multi-core performance. That’s a significant gap in multi-core performance, but we also need to consider the Raptor Lake CPU’s much larger 250–350W TDP.

The leaker further claims that water cooling is required for the chip to reach an all-core frequency of 5.0 GHz. Although the temperature with water cooling doesn’t go above 100C, it also isn’t stable inside Cinebench R23. There appears to be a major problem with this specific leak because AMD publicly displayed a +48% / +41% Multi-threaded boost in Cinebench R23 vs the 5950X and 12900K in their own presentation.
Serena Williams has exited the 2022 US Open, and has called curtains on her 27-year long career. The American won 23 Grand Slam titles, and leaves the court as one of the greatest of all-time.
In her final game, Williams lost against Ajla Tomljanovic by a scoreline of 5-7, 7-6, 1-6. Over 72,000 fans filled the stadium to see the icon play in the US Open, and eventually, the last game of her legendary career.
Serena Williams plays out final game of her career in the US Open
96 career titles. 39 Grand Slams. 319 weeks as World No. 1. $94M in career prize money.
“I wouldn’t be Serena if there wasn’t Venus. So thank you, Venus. She is the only reason Serena Williams ever existed. It all started with my parents, they deserve everything. I am so grateful to them. These are happy tears, I guess,” Serena Williams said.
Asked by an on-court interviewer whether there was any possibility she might yet extend her career, she replied: “I don’t think so, but you never know.”
“It’s been a fun ride,” she said. “It’s been the most incredible ride and journey I’ve ever been on, I mean, in my life.
“I’m just so grateful to every single person that’s ever said, ‘Go, Serena,’ in their life. I’m just so grateful. You got me here.”
Williams, 40, had to fight a strong battle with physical and mental fatigue, but came up short. An emotional display followed a charged game in front of a packed audience, as Tomljanovic picked up the win.
