If there wasn’t enough hype surrounding him already, then there is now after the player scored an outstanding goal against Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals. Borussia Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham is on the radar of many clubs in Europe, and the latest to join the list of names interested is Chelsea.
Interestingly, the Stamford Bridge outfit are willing to spend in the region of £100 million to try and sign the player. Bellingham only made the switch to Dortmund in the summer of 2020 and has not even played a full season for the Black and Yellow club.
But that is not to undermine the talent that the youngster possesses. His showing against Manchester City left even Pep Guardiola befuddled as to whether the player was truly 17 years old or not.
Bellingham departed Birmingham City as their most expensive sale ever, which made the Championship club retire the number 22 jersey that he wore while at the club. Considering Dortmund bought him for £25 million, a sale anywhere near £100 million would yield a massive profit.
Emerging as one of the brightest box to box midfielders in the game, Bellingham looks all set to go on and have an extraordinary career but a move to a big club right now could be too soon. This is just his first year playing first tier football, and the Bundesliga is a great place for youngsters to develop into world class talents. His teammates, Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland are proof of that very fact.
While a return to the Premier League could certainly be in the works in the years to come, right now is too soon for Chelsea to invest such a big amount in a teenager.

On the 12th of April, U.S. President Joe Biden had a video conference with leaders of 19 semiconductor companies. Two days later, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), announced that it would sever its business relationship with Chinese client Phytium. With both TSMC and Intel working more closely than before with the administration, Samsung Electronics’ burden for supplying chips is mounting.
Phytium is a Chinese CPU design company, whose CPUs are used by supercomputers run by military-related institutions in China. Phytium does not have its own manufacturing facilities. According to Business Korea, Phytium “is one of the seven Chinese institutions and enterprises on the blacklist of the United States Department of Commerce, which remarked on April 8 that Chinese supercomputers were used for anti-U.S. military activities.”
TSMC CEO Believes Chip Crunch Situation will Improve Significantly for the Automotive Sector by Next Quarter
The supply crunch of automotive chips, which began at the beginning of this year, has already affected top automakers including Volkswagen, GM, Ford, Toyota, Stellantis, and Hyundai Motor. The scope of the impact is still expanding and there is still no obvious sign of easing. According to IT Home, Nissan has also been affected and its Japan factory will significantly reduce production next month.
Addressing the tight situation of automotive chips requires strong support from chip substitutes, and the world’s largest chipmaker, TSMC, announced in January that it would provide capacity support to automotive chip suppliers as a top priority.
TSMC CEO Wei Zhe Jia, on a conference call with analysts in the first quarter, talked about the supply shortage of automotive chips.
“Starting in 2018, the global auto market will be weak, and after 2020, the outbreak will hit the auto market again, affecting the automotive supply chain, where customers have been cutting orders until the third quarter of last year, but orders suddenly resumed in the fourth quarter,” Mr. Wei said on a conference call with earnings analysts.
He also mentioned that his company was doing its best to support customers in the wake of the shortage of automotive chips. And a top priority was to provide capacity support for automotive customers. Since then they have worked with customers in other areas to reallocate fab capacity, however, a sudden snowstorm in Texas and sudden disruption of Japanese factories have added to the tight supply of auto chips.
According to IT Home, “Wei said at the meeting that with the resumption of production by other manufacturers, coupled with increased production capacity, they expect the shortage of automotive chips to improve significantly in the next quarter.”

TSMC’s operations hit a new record high last year, and the annual salaries of Chairman Liu Deyin and President Wei Zhe’s family saw an increase of 44% rising to T$422 million (14,879,720 USD), caixin reported.
Thanks to growth in smartphones, high-performance budgets, the Internet of Things (IoT), and consumer electronics platforms, TSMC’s total revenue rose a record 25.17 percent last year. Its 2020 financial results show that the company reported consolidated sales of T$1.339 trillion (approximately 47,213,140,000 USD).
The start of 2021 has been no less Specifically, its Q1 sales are up 16.7 percent from a year ago. Its Q1 operating profit is estimated at 36.6 percent of the sales. According to industry sources, this is because U.S. clients, accounting for 60 percent of TSMC’s client base, including Apple, Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm, increased their orders in that period.
“Most TSMC clients are in the United States and the company has no manufacturing facilities in China,” one of the sources mentioned, according to Business Korea. “In contrast, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have large memory chip plants in China and this is why they are hesitating to side with the United States, unlike TSMC.”
Xiaomi launched their Mi 11 smartphone at the end of last year, powered by the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 SoC. After that it has launched a number of smartphones in the series and their recently launched Mi 11 Ultra is crowned the best camera-centric smartphone by DXOMARK.
Surprisingly, the Xiaomi Mi 11 wasn’t been rated until and the smartphone has got a camera score of 120 points by DXOMARK. It has been positioned behind the likes of Huawei Mate 30 Pro, iPhone 12 series as well as Galaxy S21 Ultra and does indeed lacks the Top 20 rankings on the chart.
The Mi 11 boasts of a triple rear camera setup that offers an amazing 108-megapixel sensor. The size of the pixels is 1.6 microns and has optical image stabilization (OIS) as well. It also houses a 13-megapixel secondary sensor and a 5-megapixel tertiary sensor. They come with an f/2.4 ultra-wide-angle lens and an f/2.4 macro lens respectively.
In the photo category, it did its best in texture testing, with little noise, and scored fairly high in most other test projects, so the photos were powerful. Due to the lack of a dedicated telephoto camera, the Mi 11’s zoom score did take away some points, however, has a good video score of 107.
It does manage to beat the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra as well as the Google Pixel 5. If you have been waiting for the Xiaomi Mi 11 series, you will be glad to know it is launching soon in India later this month.
