UEFA: 8 Major Clubs Fined for financial irregularities | 19 Others Under Surveillance

0

Multiple teams in Europe broke the agreed-upon Financial Fair Play rules, according to a press statement from UEFA on Friday.

UEFA Sanctioned 8 Clubs

The Club Financial Control Body discovered eight clubs that did achieve the break-even threshold, according to the statement. These include Paris Saint-Germain, Olympique de Marseille, Milan, Monaco, Roma, Beşiktaş, Inter, and Juventus. Following that, the clubs received sanctions, with PSG getting the biggest fine (€65 million), later lowered to €10 million.

Unfortunately, clubs were subject to emergency Covid measures in 2020 and 2021, when spectators were mostly barred from stadiums and TV arrangements were altered. UEFA’s investigation covered the financial years 2018 to 2022. Clubs received exemptions as a result during this time.

All of the clubs taking part in the UEFA championships in 2021–22 had their financial operations reviewed by the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB). The researchers concluded that the English clubs and Rangers met the requirements for compliance because they were technically able to fulfill the break-even necessity thanks to the implementation of the COVID-19 emergency measures and/or because they gained from chronological positive break-even results.

As per the sources, it was declared that even though 19 additional clubs “technically” met the break-even threshold, their financial standing will be “monitored” going forward. These include, among others, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Borussia Dortmund.

Other Clubs Under Surveillance

Due to “extraordinary COVID deductions and analysis of prior financial outcomes,” Chelsea, Leicester, Man City, and West Ham have escaped punishment under the UEFA financial fair play rules. These exemptions do not apply this season, though, and the clubs have been warned that they would be “closely scrutinized in the future time.”

Even harsher than those in the English top division are UEFA’s FFP rules. The permissible losses, or “acceptable deviation,” as the accountants call them, are slightly over £50 million (or 60 million euros) as of this summer, compared to £105 million in the Premier League. Although the inspection didn’t result in any punishment for Premier League clubs, it did have an effect, especially on Leicester City.

Hurry up, only less than 5 lakh more 2-wheeler EVs will be subsidised in India

0

Yes, you heard it right, if you have been waiting for you to buy your next 2-wheeler and if that is aimed to be an EV then better buy it soon because considering the pace at which Indians are adopting EVs is just insane.

Every day according to our observation on the DIDM dashboard which shows the number of EVs registered in India, around 3000 two-wheeler EVs are getting registered every single day.

image 36 Hurry up, only less than 5 lakh more 2-wheeler EVs will be subsidised in India

5 lakh more 2-wheeler EVs will be subsidised in India

This means thousands of Indians are availing of the FAME II subsidy by the central government where 10 lakh e-2 Wheelers will be subsidised since 2019. Now, as of today on 3rd September officially 5 lakh e-2 wheelers have been registered and subsidised by the Indian government that offers incentives up to Rs. 15,000/KWh or 40% cost of vehicles.

You may have seen a number of EVs launched by Hero Electric, Ola, TVS and others but max prices include a good amount of subsidy that’s why prices looked much more attractive. However, if that incentive ends the same Ola S1 which has an ex-showroom price of ₹99,999 will cost you ₹44,700 more.

2-wheeler EV

Yes, you will lose the 40% incentive that the Indian government is offering so better keep an eye on the counter if you have been waiting for a more reliable charging network should actually go for it else burn your pockets later. Indians have become fearless and those states who have embraced EVs and flooding with EV charging stations, for them, this is a boon obviously.

Considering the fact that India is growing, private players like Tata, Ola, Adani and even Reliance are gearing up to make EV batteries, and make more charging stations, the future is indeed exciting. So, as a tech enthusiast or a geek, you should go for a reliable 2-wheeler Electric Vehicle in India because it seems within 3-4 months, this scheme will eventually expire.

Intel confident on offering better Ray Tracing then NVIDIA’s GPUs

0

Speaking with PCGamer, Intel disclosed that their Arc GPUs will be very competitively priced and even have superior ray tracing performance than the competition. The company has also disclosed its goals for the Arc GPUs that will follow Alchemist and its dedication to the roadmap.

Jacob Ridley, Senior Hardware Editor for PCGamer, travelled to Berlin to attend IFA 2022. He went down with Ryan Shrout and Tom Peterson, Intel’s marketing experts, who shared some juicy details about their Arc GPUs. There is a lot to discuss, but to summarise, we learn a little bit about Intel’s RTU (Ray Tracing Unit) and its performance, how much Intel Arc GPUs would cost, and where Arc is headed in the future.

Once more, it appears that Intel has AMD in its sights more so than NVIDIA

Speaking of their pricing strategy, Intel stated that the Arc GPUs will be priced quite reasonably compared to their competitors. In 50 game benchmarks, the business has already demonstrated the Arc A750 graphics card, which performs on average 5% quicker than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060.

Intel reiterates that DX12 and Vulkan performance will be unbeatable, while DX11 and older games will either play well or poorly. Additionally, Microsoft is adding historical DX9 functionality through the D3D9on12 wrapper API at Intel’s request.

Additionally, Intel is being really fair by stating that while Alchemist products won’t have the same power efficiency as NVIDIA’s GPUs, their costs will be significantly lower to reflect that. Arc Alchemist GPUs are Intel’s initial foray into the mass market and volume market. Arc Battlemage GPUs are Intel’s next step into the high-performance and enthusiast market.

AMD EPYC Genoa-X and Bergamo Chips specifications leaked Online

0

YuuKi AnS has leaked the complete specifications for AMD’s EPYC 9004 Genoa-X and Bergamo CPUs, which include the newest Zen 4 V-Cache and Zen 4C cores. The conventional Zen 4 parts’ specifications were previously shared by the leaker, and now we can see what the specialist Zen 4 families have to offer.

There will be three families in the AMD Zen 4 lineup: the regular Zen 4 for EPYC Genoa, the compute density-optimized Zen 4C for EPYC Bergamo, and the cache-optimized Zen 4 V-Cache for the EPYC Genoa-X series. Additionally, the portfolio will include an affordable entry-level server option called EPYC Siena that will have the same Zen 4 cores as SP5, but on a brand-new platform called SP6 that will again place a greater emphasis on TCO optimization. The EPYC 8004 family will serve as the brand name for the lineup.

Regarding the leak, YuuKi AnS was the first to publish the details on AMD’s whole EPYC 9004 Genoa family, and now he has also published the information on the Zen 4C- and Zen 4 V-Cache-powered EPYC Bergamo and EPYC Genoa-X processors. The leaker has specified two chips, the EPYC 9734 and the EPYC 9754, as the first EPYC Bergamo components.

The AMD chips have a total of 256 MB cache and offer 112/224 & 128/256 cores & threads, respectively (L3).

The TDPs have been rated at 340W for the 112 Core and 360W for the 128 core SKU, while the CPU clock speeds are between 2.0 and 2.15 GHz. Each CPU will have 8 Zen 4C CCDs, with 16 cores per CCD. The CPUs come with 32 MB of L3 cache per CCD or 256 MB of cache overall.

Moving on, the leaker has provided four CPU models for the AMD EPYC Genoa-X SKUs. The EPYC 9684X, which has 96 cores and 192 threads with a TDP of 400W, is at the top of the list. Next up are the EPYC 9384X, which has 32 cores and 64 threads and is rated at 320W, the EPYC 9284X, which has 24 cores and 48 threads and is also rated at 320W, and the EPYC 9184X, which has 16 cores and 32 threads.

These four variations will have L3 cache configurations of 1152 MB for the 96 core, 384 MB for the 32 core, 256 MB for the 24 core, and 192 MB for the 16 core. Although the Genoa-X parts lack clock speed information, the leaker has provided a list of each SKU’s product positioning, making it simpler for us to comprehend the chip’s primary market.

TSMC: Shortage of Commodity chips disrupting Industries

0

Many chips are used by modern machines to enable their sophisticated functionality. This is hardly surprising because electronic components, particularly logic chips, are used by practically all modern gadgets. But there is an issue, as the absence of inexpensive commodity chips can prevent the delivery of a $50,000 automobile or a $150 million lithography scanner.

According to Statista, the worldwide vehicle manufacturing sector generated $2.86 trillion in revenue in 2021. There are currently hundreds of chips in every car, and as cars become autonomous, that number is expected to rise to over 1,500.

“When carmakers told me previously that they were short of semiconductors, I thought, ‘How come these guys couldn’t understand the importance of chips,'” said CC Wei, chief executive of TSMC, at an event in China, reports New Kerala.

But later, TSMC’s own equipment suppliers suffered delivery problems and told me it is also due to component and chip shortages.

According to Statista, the worldwide vehicle manufacturing sector generated $2.86 trillion in revenue in 2021. There are currently hundreds of chips in every car, and as cars become autonomous, that number is expected to rise to over 1,500.

Snowballing demand for semiconductors will ultimately cause companies like TSMC to add new production capacity, raising semiconductor costs overall. As a result, actual good prices will also rise. Meanwhile, if logistics become more difficult, pricing will also be impacted. The executive of TSMC warned that as electronics become more advanced, they will also become more expensive.

At the Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) in Kochi on Friday, September 2, Prime Minister Narendra Modi commissioned the INS Vikrant, India’s first indigenously-built aircraft carrier. The Prime Minister declared following the launching that India has now entered the elite group of countries that have created indigenous aircraft carriers.

PM Modi and INS Vikrant

In his remarks at the commissioning ceremony, Modi described the INS Vikrant as a floating village and airfield, with the ability to power 5,000 homes and have cables reach Kashi from Kochi.

The carrier’s deck, according to him, is the size of two football fields and serves as an illustration of the government’s goal to make India self-sufficient in the defense industry. The security of the Indo-Pacific region is “our priority, but in the past, it was ignored,” the prime minister added.

Additionally, Modi displayed the updated Naval Ensign. Speaking to a sizable crowd at the INS Vikrant’s commissioning ceremony, Modi remarked that with the new ensign, the nation had left its colonial heritage.

According to Modi, the old Indian Naval flag, which was influenced by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, represented slavery and has since been removed. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj seal, a legendary Indian ruler, served as the model for the new Naval Ensign. The octagonal design signifies the eight directions, reflecting the Navy’s expansive reach, and also represents steadfastness.

Designed by WDB

The largest ship ever built in Indian nautical history, INS Vikrant was designed by the Indian Navy’s internal Warship Design Bureau (WDB) and constructed by Cochin Shipyard Limited, a Public Sector Shipyard under the Union Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways. The indigenous carrier is named for its forerunner, who was instrumental in the conflict of 1971.
