Intel Raptor Lake: Team blue claims of setting 8 GHz Overclocking World Record with its Upcoming CPU

0

With a few tantalising announcements, Intel has been hinting at the release of its 13th-generation Raptor Lake CPUs. It states that the CPUs have already achieved an 8 GHz “global overclocking record” and will be the first to run at a stock speed of 6 GHz.

Raptor Lake was previewed by Team Blue at the Intel Tech Tour 2022 in Israel. One slide demonstrated Intel’s intention to use Raptor Lake to outperform AMD in terms of clock speeds. While Intel claims its upcoming chips can outperform the Ryzen 9 7950X by 300 MHz with a 6 GHz model, we are aware that it has a maximum clock speed of 5.7 GHz.

The Raptor Lake SKU with the 6 GHz stock speed has yet to be announced by Intel, and neither has its release date. While the top-tier Core i9-13900K, which recent leaks indicate would perform compared to the Ryzen 9 7950X, may be the culprit, that CPU’s 24-core (8P + 16E) clock speed is rumoured to reach 5.8 GHz, which suggests the Core i9-12900KS or another KS model may be the only one to receive the 6 GHz speed.

The slide further states that Raptor Lake has already been liquid nitrogen-overclocked up to 8 GHz. Intel claims that this is an overclocking world record, albeit there are some limitations given that 8.7 GHz currently holds the title.

Raptor Lake, according to Intel, boosts single-threaded workloads by 15% and multi-threaded workloads by 41%.

Raptor Lake combines Performance (P) and Efficiency (E) cores, just as Alder Lake. While the P cores are now Raptor Cove rather than Golden Cove from the previous generation, the E cores are still based on the same Gracemont cores as Alder Lake.

Raptor Lake is anticipated to have faster speeds, twice as many E-cores, and more L2 and L3 cache than Alder Lake, while the more sophisticated memory controllers will bring certified support for DDR5-5600 (as opposed to DDR5-4800 in Alder Lake) and DDR4-3200 memory.

The Arc Alchemist GPU launch has caused consumers to lose faith in Intel, and the firm recently had to deny it was closing the division—the second time it’s had to do so. Intel will be hoping the Raptor Lake CPUs can help them reclaim some of this trust. However, given the hoopla surrounding Zen 4, Chipzilla will have competition in the market for next-generation processors. On September 27, during the Innovation event, Intel is scheduled to reveal the Raptor Lake CPUs. In October, the processors are anticipated to go on sale.

HP Disrupting Traditional Manufacturing with New Metal Jet S100 Solution for More Resilient Supply Chain

0

Commercial Metal Jet Solution takes 3D printed metals to mass production by delivering high-quality parts at scale across industries; Global leader in sustainability and efficiency Schneider Electric developing breakthrough applications with a new solution

At the 2022 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), HP Inc. announced the commercial availability of its Metal Jet S100 Solution. Accelerating innovative designs and products and digitally printing mass quantities of quality parts, HP’s Metal Jet S100 Solution is transforming industries and helping scale 3D metals to mass production.

The manufacturing industry has evolved drastically over the past decade and is currently expected to be worth around $12 trillion. We are in the early stages of a fourth industrial revolution, spearheaded by the accelerated growth of 3D printing and its ability to accelerate designs, improve process developments, and now in an industry first, realize true economies of scale.

“We are witnessing entire industries, from industrial to the consumer, and healthcare to automotive, looking to digitally transform their manufacturing processes and supply chains in a world where volatility is the new normal,” said Didier Deltort, President of HP’s Personalization and 3D Printing business. “As the promise of additive manufacturing takes hold, HP has become a trusted partner to help speed the path to production. The introduction of our new Metal Jet commercial solution, along with innovative collaboration with market leaders like Schneider Electric, is delivering the blueprint for more sustainable, reliable, and efficient manufacturing.”

New HP Metal Jet S100

HP’s new Metal Jet S100 Solution is opening the doors for a digital reinvention of the global metals manufacturing sector, with a strong focus on end-to-end supply chain solutions in both software and hardware that are customer-centric and design-led.

The Metal Jet S100 Solution provides industrial production capabilities, integrated workflow, subscription and service offerings – an unprecedented level of technical and business advantages for customers, helping them achieve their goals for business transformation. The modular solution enables build units to travel between four different stations, meaning users can continually run production at scale for mass metal production.

“Since announcing the breakthrough Metal Jet technology in 2018, we have been working to develop the industry’s most advanced commercial solution for 3D metals mass production,” said Ramon Pastor, Global Head and General Manager of 3D Metals, HP Inc. “3D printed metal parts are a key driving force behind digital transformation and the new Metal Jet S100 Solution provides a world-class metal offering for our customers, from the first designs right through to production, but more importantly helps them to realize the unlimited potential for digital manufacturing.” 

HP’s unequalled expertise and IP in Thermal Inkjet technology and Latex chemistry deliver cost, quality, productivity, and reliability advantages. HP’s Thermal Inkjet printhead dramatically improves the printing speed, part quality, and repeatability. The advanced latex chemistries developed by HP lend significant benefits to the binder itself, enabling stronger green parts, eliminating the need for de-binding, and yielding industrial production-grade quality.

Key advantages of HP Metal Jet technology include:

  • Innovative New Designs: New geometries, density control and designs to lightweight or consolidate metal parts push the boundaries of what is possible with 3D printing.
  • Improved Customer Economics: Process steps needed to create parts are shortened whilst costs due to manual labour or complexity requirements are reduced, driving efficiencies across the supply chain.
  • Increased Productivity: Binder jetting can boost productivity tenfold, allowing for processing layer by layer versus point process. Isotropic properties also require no post-processing and no support removal, and the use of metal powders is also more cost-effective than laser-based 3D printing powder.
  • Higher Resolution to Drive Part Quality: HP printheads leverage decades of industrial thermal inkjet technology developments, defining geometry and delivering high resolution and system robustness, making mass 3D metal parts a viable option for commercial manufacturing.

Innovative Collaboration, Breakthrough Applications

Advancements and new production applications highlight the advantages of Metal Jet, including better productivity, low part cost, and outstanding quality.

HP has already built strong momentum with leading partners and customers including GKNParmatechCobra GolfLegor Group, and Volkswagen, and more. HP is also collaborating on mass metals production opportunities with new partners and customers around the world, including Domin Digital Motion, an innovative industrial company focused on hydraulic systems and valves, Lumenium, a startup developer of advanced rotational engines, and Schneider Electric.

Schneider Electric is the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation. Their product portfolio includes products, controls, software and services across residential, commercial, industrial and critical applications.

“We are excited about the new possibilities for our business as a result of this collaboration with HP,” said Michael Lotfy, SVP of Power Products & Systems, North America, Schneider Electric. “We are constantly in pursuit of solutions that will enable more sustainable, agile innovations development.  Leveraging HP Metal Jet our teams have delivered a proven use case showcasing the benefits of digital manufacturing and 3D printing, and we look forward to uncovering many more applications that meet the evolving demands from our customers addressing the challenges around sustainability and Electricity 4.0.”

Together with GKN, a new filter used on Schneider Electric’s NSX breaker was produced using HP Metal Jet technology, which could not be achieved with conventional industrial manufacturing capabilities due to the shape & material complexity. HP Metal Jet technology not only facilitated the design of new power filters shapes that reduce gas, pressure, and heat impact in a more limited space, it also resulted in significant productivity gains and environmental benefits.

HP Showcasing 3D Metals Mass Production at IMTS

Michael Lotfy will join Ramon Pastor, and Meaghan Ferris, HP’s Global Head of 3D Metals Go-to-Market, on September 15 at 8:15 am U.S. Central Time for a keynote address at the Additive Manufacturing Conference at IMTS. HP and its partners and customers will showcase their journey driving 3D printing metals technology into mass production.  See the new HP Metal Jet S100 Solution and a wide variety of production applications at the HP booth at IMTS #433000.

Dunzo, Swiggy, and Blinkit are all eyeing getting hold of the Night Delivery Sector

0

Platforms for grocery e-commerce are aiming to launch night delivery as a new front in the war. A first for the sector, the grocery delivery division of restaurant delivery and search aggregator Swiggy, Swiggy Instamart, has extended grocery delivery hours until the early hours, starting with select areas.

“We’re now open till 3 am…,” Instamart said in messages sent to customers over the weekend. The SoftBank-backed grocery service said it had witnessed a 16-fold growth in orders in the 12 months to June, with Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chennai topping the list.

“Swiggy Instamart has been operational in over 25 cities from 7 am to as late as 1 am,” a Swiggy spokesperson said. “With the help of the store owners and our delivery partners, we are extending our operational hours further in some cities (subject to municipal rules) based on customer requests, giving them access to over 5,000 products, and addressing everything from late-night cravings to emergency purchases.”

According to Dunzo, it is testing 24-hour delivery in a few cities’ select neighborhoods.

According to business experts, quick-commerce companies are dominating the night delivery market because they can bring goods to homes in 15 to 30 minutes using a network of dimly lit or small delivery-only stores that serve as warehouses and don’t rely on outside vendors. Its sustainability is crucial, they continued.

Micron to invest $15 billion for its factory in Boise

0

The largest manufacturer of memory chips in the United States, Micron Technology Inc (MU.O), will break ground on a $15 billion factory in Boise, Idaho, on Monday. According to the company’s chief executive, an announcement of a second major U.S. plant will follow soon.

“We are in the final stages of another high volume manufacturing site that is going to be announced in the coming weeks,” CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said.

DRAM chips, which are widely used in data centres, personal computers, and other devices, will be produced at both factories. Once operational, American facilities will produce 40% more DRAM than the rest of the world combined, up from 10% currently, according to Mehrotra. He predicted that the Boise factory would start operating in 2025.

Micron

By the end of the decade, 2,000 new Micron jobs will be created, according to Micron, who claimed that this will be the first new memory chip plant to be built in the United States in 20 years.

Numerous businesses have announced plans to manufacture chips in the US since US President Joe Biden signed the Chips and Science Act, which allocates $52 billion to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing. The $20 billion factory in Ohio where cutting-edge processor chips will be produced was officially opened by Intel Corp (INTC.O) on Friday. 

Micron used to manufacture chips in Boise, where it began, but it now has significant production facilities in countries like Singapore, Taiwan, and Japan. 

The company’s primary centre for research and development is still in Boise. The CEO claimed that combining manufacturing and R&D will hasten the time to market.


“This is not about divesting from manufacturing in any other part of the world or bringing back manufacturing. This is about increasing,” he said.

“To meet the growing demand for memory, we have to increase our production,” he said, adding that the “Chips and Science bill enables it to be increased here in the U.S.”

According to Mehrotra, American investments don’t signify a turn away from Asian nations. In the past, Micron has stated that it will invest $150 billion over the next ten years, with $40 billion of that amount going to the United States. That, according to Mehrotra, also includes money for research and development, the price of which is rising as new technologies are developed.

Werewolf By Night: Marvel has come with a new Horror Thriller sequence 

0

Marvel’s one of the most mysterious segments, ‘Werewolf by Night’ got some official word from the makers. This is one of the best Halloween special sets to hit on Disney+. Werewolf by Night not only just launches any of the live-action, as it can serve as the directorial debut of Michael Gi8acchino who is known for achieving an Academy Award as a composer, and also the writer of Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Batman, and many more. 

Werewolf by Night with any indication, having such a live-action version has been played by Mexican actor great Gael Garcia Bernal doon become the favorite for all of the MCU fans. 

Werewolf

Werewolf By Night: Special Attachment 

The new trailer of the show announces the throwback intentions right now along with a sound and that’s quite surprising for the viewers. In the place of such usual Marvel Studios logo lot the story Giacchino wrote, we have got bongo drums and multicolored lines that unveil, “A Marvel Studios Special Presentation.”. The Special will follow in such footsteps of the old horror adaptations. The title card reflects those Universal horrors. 

Werewolf By Night: The Occultists 

The first moments featured such important figures quiet fathers in a baroque as drawing the room.  Noe, the hoods are suggesting such a secret society from some category that’s quickly confirmed about those menacing voice that has referred to the guests as ‘hunters. Marvel Comics has no such vacancies of monster hunters and secret societies containing led by Ulysses Bloodstone with the immortal caveman fighting against arcane powers by taking the help of the ruby attached to his chest. The other is with Dracula’s old nemesis Abraham, Van Helsing. There are some other terrible monster hunters in the Marvel Universe like super Puritan Solomon Kane, Avenger and Dr. Strange ally Dr. Druid, and the  Daywalker himself. 

Werewolf By Night: Zombies 

The credit goes to Richard Watson as it has turned out in fact Ulysses Bloodstone. It will take a look at Simon Garth and tell us we are completely off to the base for some assumptions. Simon Garth was a rich man aimed at voodoo ritual after the cruel firing of one of his employees. After the priestess attempts the ritual that has exposed her, she loved Garth and helps him to flee, Garth is now transformed into a zombie. In the trailer, Garth appears as either an animatronic or a reanimated corpse. 

Werewolf By Night: The identity of Verussa 

 The meeting was held by a woman played by Harriet Harris, coming in the character of Verussa. Apart from the comic book the counterpart has drawn from, we can only able to guess at her role in this tale, that’s pretty clear. She has gathered the hunters for looking at the monster and tells lots bout the creepy things. 

Werewolf By Night: Elsa Bloodstone 

It’s clear that Verussa is a villain, the trailer unveils the trench coat as the woman playing Laura Donnely as our protagonist. The name of the character has not yet been declared, it’s just all but Elsa Bloodstone who will be the great monster hunter in the latest Marvel, Elsa is the daughter of Ulysses Bloodstone and the blood of the jewel. Elsa has papered to fix in the madcap comic, and he will collaborate with X-Men and the zombie hunters of SHIELD’s. 

Werewolf By Night: Jack Rusell 

We don’t have many updates about Elsa Bloodstone, as it shows even less of the show’s title character. The face is sallow with a sunken eye. The new trailer provides a brief glimpse of the werewolf, as it prefers to follow the roots of MGM horror producer Jacques Tourneur. Rusell comes to transform for something more interesting on the Universal Wolf Man featured by Lon Chaney Jr. 

Werewolf By Night: Man-Thing 

We are assuming if Gael Garcia Bernal is featuring the role 0of Russell as the werewolf and the werewolf that let too loose on the monster hunters, then the question is why does the trailer show such a long hand-grabbing Bernal? If you give a close look, then you will understand that the hand comes from Man-Thing. Man-Thing come after the scientist Ted Sallis ran afoul of such a modified concept of mechanics. 

Werewolf By Night: TVA 

TVA or Time Variant Authority is also one of the unexpected guests of the show. We can see some quick shots of the werewolf attacking people. The people are the hunters but not the monster hunter foregrounded along the trailer. Now the most important question is why TVA needs to gather as monster hunters. 

Werewolf By Night: Moon Knight 

Beyond the Darkhold, other popular figures are spinning as Marc Spector Moon Knight. When Marvel has not provided the hint at any such figure planning for Oscar Isaac to come back as the Fist of Khonshu, whether Khonshu will be involved or not, for more updates, we have to wait for some time. 

Werewolf By Night: Release Date 

Marvel’s Werewolf by Night’ will hit on 7th October on Disney+. 

Here is the trailer:

Gavi to sign new Barcelona contract this week with €1 billion release clause

0

Barcelona are set to announce the contract renewal of Gavi this week. The player has been talking with the club for a renewal since December, and it will now be made official. 

The youngster has established himself as one of the best teenagers in the world, and has attracted interest from several clubs across Europe. Bayern Munich were the most keen to land the player, alongside Chelsea. However, the midfielder was not willing to move from Camp Nou, being a La Masia graduate. 

Gavi to have new Barcelona contract very soon 

Barcelona have never been worried about the links to other clubs. They have agreed to insert a €1 billion release clause in his contract, which would make him untouchable when it comes to transfers. 

The new contract will be until 2026, three years longer than his current deal which expires next summer. 

“I am not surprised by Gavi’s performance because I see him train every day,” the coach said after his recent man of the match showing against Sevilla.

“I know what he’s capable of. The way he plays, he is pure intensity, personality, hard work, heart, discipline (…) I don’t want to be unfair on the others, but he was perhaps the best player tonight,” Xavi added. 

Gavi joins the likes of Ronald Araujo, Pedri and Ansu Fati to have the billion euro release clause in his contract, which would keep him at the club for a very long time. 

Ubisoft to sell its AAA-Game titles at $70

0

Fresh out of the box, new AAA games have been priced at approximately $60 for the past 20 years or so. Except for the launch of DLC, players would not need to make any extra purchases to access the entire game. It now appears that several major publishers, including Ubisoft, may start charging $70 for each of their most popular titles.

In an interview with Axios, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot stated that the company would start hiking the price of AAA titles to $70 starting with Skull & Bones this Fall. Some of the games will cost the same as their rivals, according to Guillemot. The cost of the major AAA games is $70.

According to Sources, previous AAA games that have cost $70 include:

  • NBA 2K21
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
  • Demon’s Souls
  • Godfall
  • MLB The Show 21
  • Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

Many creators are apprehensive to test out the early process of charging that much for a brand-new AAA game. In addition to the economy’s uncertainty following the recent pandemic, players have already demonstrated that they are resistive to this additional pricing. It is easy to picture how expensive premium or collector’s editions of the game will be if the standard price for games is $70.

Ubisoft
credit: Gamespot


The fact that salaries haven’t increased all that much over the past couple of decades is another important point to make. In many US cities, the minimum wage is still $7.25. More people will not be able to enjoy this interest due to the price increase in video games. The price increase should ensure that developers are compensated more for their labor.

Assassins Creed: The Developers Promise more Sustained Dev Cycles for the upcoming Titles

0

Assassins Creed fans learned a lot about the franchise’s future during the Ubisoft Forward event. Beginning with The Last Chapter free DLC mission, which will arrive in Valhalla in the coming months, Eivor will be seen concluding several of the main game’s storylines while interacting with important individuals. The wait for Assassins Creed Mirage, formerly Assassins Creed Rift, will then start. The 2023 game makes a return to the series’ origins by emphasizing stealth and assassinations rather than the RPG model that was introduced with Assassins Creed Origins.

The series’ final cross-generational entry is called Mirage. Marc-Alexis Côté, vice president and executive producer of the Assassins Creed franchise, previewed some of the technological improvements that the team is working on for the Anvil engine going forward in an interview with the Ubisoft Blog.

Assassins Creed

I don’t want to spoil too much of what our creative teams are working on. However, from a technological point of view, these are games that will benefit from a tremendous increase in fidelity with all the improvements that we’re working on with this new iteration of the Anvil pipeline, so you can just imagine it being a very next-generation approach to RPGs, at least from a graphical-fidelity point of view. But it will take all the learnings that we’ve had from Odyssey and Valhalla to epitomize the best of what we can do at Ubisoft in terms of RPGs.

Assassins Creed
credit: wccftech

Ubisoft’s strategy for game announcements and game development will alter, according to Côté. To get community feedback, games (like Assassins Creed Codename Red and Hexi) will be released early, and the developers will be able to benefit from longer, more sustainable cycles.

Codename Red could debut in 2024, possibly following Mirage. Given this assertion, it’s reasonable to predict that Hexi will likely release at least a few years after it, but Assassins Creed fans should have plenty of fun in the interim.

Jio Satellite Communications Ltd is looking to launch Satellite Internet Services

0

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) recently granted a critical permit to a Reliance Jio subsidiary, allowing it to launch high-speed broadband from space services.

A letter of intent (LoI) has been issued by the DoT to Jio Satellite Communications Ltd (JSCL), a Jio company that had sought global mobile personal communications by satellite services (GMPCS) licence earlier this year. After Bharti Group-backed OneWeb, Jio’s satellite division is the second business to gain DoT approval to provide broadband services via satellites.

Jio Space Technology Ltd., a joint venture held 51:49 by Jio Platforms (JPL), the parent company of Jio and owned by Mukesh Ambani, and SES, a major satellite communications firm, was established earlier this year to provide broadband services in India via satellites. To deliver Satcom services within the nation, Jio Space Tech is building a sizable gateway infrastructure in India. The company will deploy multi-orbit space networks, which combine geostationary (GEO) and medium earth orbit (MEO) satellite constellations.

With Jio, Bharti-backed OneWeb, Nelco, a Tata group Satcom firm, and Canada’s Telesat all aiming to introduce satellite broadband services in India, competition in this still-emerging market has increased. The second-largest communications market on the planet is also of interest to Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Amazon’s Project Kuiper.

According to experts, India represents a significant new market for broadband from space services with a near-term yearly revenue possibility of over $1 billion. As many rural areas in India still lack cellular or fibre connectivity, E&Y projects that the country’s satellite services market will increase from zero in 2017 to $4.7 billion in 2025. This is because over 75% of rural India’s population still lacks broadband access.

According to the regulations, Jio must accept the terms and conditions once an LoI is issued and provide bank guarantees (BGs) to DoT totalling Rs 1 crore before the GMPCS licence can be granted.

However, the DoT official, companies can begin offering satellite services if there is clarity regarding the spectrum allocation for satellite communications. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) will provide recommendations on the subject, which the government is awaiting.

Given the popularity of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, DoT is considering modifying the way satellite companies currently provide VSAT services utilising delicensed KU band spectrum. Trai has already received a request from DoT for advice about the cost of KU/KA bands. The DoT plans to auction off the spectrum needed for these services.

According to a DoT official, access spectrum is needed by satellite operators to serve their nationwide client base. The Supreme Court’s 2012 judgement mandating that these airwaves only be sold to the highest bidder highlights the need for access spectrum allocation by auction.

In addition, satellite communications are highly helpful for delivering broadband services in isolated, hilly, and difficult-to-reach areas. Additionally, when conventional communication is hampered due to a disaster, it is the sole means available for establishing communication. According to experts, broadband rates of 200 Mbps to 300 Mbps are possible due to the abundance of low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites.
