AMD announces its overwhelming response from Stockholders with its Xilinx acquisition

The Red team announced its acquisition of Xilinx in a $35 billion deal last year, and in 2021 their acquisition seems to move in the right direction as it receives an overwhelming response from stockholders.

The company’s CEO, Dr Lisa Su also tweeted this and welcomed team Xilinx to work together to make a new chapter for high-performance computing.

AMD will pay Xilinx shareholders a total of $35 billion in an all-stock transaction. According to AMD’s pricing, the company’s shareholders will then receive 1.7234 AMD shares in exchange for each share of Xilinx, and the price of each share is said to $82.9726.

The deal states that AMD shareholders will own 74% of the new entity, and the remainder will belong to Xilinx’s shareholders. So, as the stockholders of both parties have agreed to the acquisition, AMD and Xilinx can now work together for next-gen products.

As we stated in Wall Street’s prediction, with this deal, AMD would ultimately surpass MediaTek, a broad market share in the smartphone business. With Xilinx also being a user of TSMC’s process nodes, this deal could allow AMD to have higher bargaining chances from the Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer. It will enable the company to bring down its products’ costs and increase its demand.

“For several years, AMD has successfully executed our long-term growth strategy and deepened the company’s partnerships to drive high performance computing leadership,” said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD president and CEO. “The acquisition of Xilinx marks the next leg in our journey to make AMD the strategic partner of choice for the largest and most important technology companies in the world as an industry leader with the vision, talent and scale to support their future innovation.”

“The Xilinx team is one of the strongest in the industry and we are thrilled to be joining AMD,” said Victor Peng, Xilinx President and CEO. “Our shared cultures of innovation, excellence and collaboration will enable us to accelerate growth in the data centre and pursue a broader customer base across more markets as a combined company.”

Uber to spend big to attract more drivers to its service

According to sources, Uber Technologies Inc. is planning to spend around $250 million to get drivers back on the road and recruit new ones as the coronavirus pandemic eases in the U.S.

Using the money, the company plans to provide bonuses for drivers, with guaranteed pay and on-boarding for workers who are new to Uber. The program anticipates an eventual rise in demand as more Americans are vaccinated, and stores reopen.

As for the time when the company will invest the money, according to an official statement, it plans to do so in the coming months. Exact date is not mentioned, but it may just depend on whether covid can be successfully controlled in the country.

The company also stated that the bonuses it will provide would depend on various factors, including location and time. As we already know, that the company is recently running low in business, with its shares declining as much as 3.6% during trading Wednesday.

The company’s income and revenue are mainly dependent on the Ride services which it provides. However, owing to the pandemic, rider-ship heavily declines. Though work-from-home increased the food delivery service of the company, that hardly makes any difference. Many drivers for Uber and Lyft Inc. either sought work elsewhere or applied for government stimulus programs.

As such, to tackle the loss in manpower and to increase its driver base, Uber Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi signaled a rise in driver bonuses during a conference call with investors in February. He proposes an increase in the spending in the first half of 2021, stating that it would boost driver supply and meet what he expected to be higher demand from riders.

Google gave a big performance boost for Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G smartphones

It has seen that the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 were not slouched exactly when it comes to the fact of processing power. Still, there is nothing to worry about because Google has now exposed the software update of those smartphones that will give it a huge boost in performance.

Google's April Android System Update Boosts Pixel Performance

When Google has listed April’s software updates for Pixel phones for security update, it basically includes several modifications like upgraded image quality while snapping pictures with any third party selected camera applications, high VPN support, and also features with fixing the bug to prevent some of the pixels from freezing at the time of startup.

Besides all of this, the most important changes for this Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 owners are the latest performance optimizations for certain graphics-intensive applications and games. This latest update also has the feature to fix the missing home screen grid settings for some devices.

The main purpose of this update is if the Pixel 5 is updated with the latest software, it has been seen that the benchmark numbers in 3DMark’s Sling Shot Extreme graphics test will also be increased between 30% to 50% or depending on the settings.

April update delivers GPU boost to Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G - Liliputing

When the device was tested back at the launching time, the Pixel 5 scored 2,674 on 3DMark’s Sling Shot Extreme Unlimited test, but 2when the updates are given, the benchmark has risen to 3,514, which is equal to the development of over 30%.

It has informed that their smartphones may not be accessing their top performance at launch, though it has expected that the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G will never be really gone through weak performance or any lagging issues the time of gaming.

It is essential to regularly check the software updates of modern devices time by time. It is not good to ignore that icon of the updates for weeks or months.

Qualcomm will be importing some TSMC’s 5nm and 6nm chip parts

Qualcomm will be importing some TSMC’s 5nm and 6nm chip parts

According to a renowned web leaker, Qualcomm has now decided to order some 5nm and 6nm process node chips from none other than. As we know that, the Taiwanese chip makers’ biggest rival, Samsung Electronics, was the sole supplier of Qualcomm and also recently got the opportunity to manufacture the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC.

But, as far as we know, the leak is yet to be confirmed, so no need to jump any guns. For starters, we don’t even know when the deal is going to take effect.

Currently, the Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is operating at its full capacity and has most of its 5nm process node production unit pre-booked by the tech giant Apple.

So it’s hard to see Qualcomm securing any of the 5nm process nodes from the TSMC any time soon. If Qualcomm is indeed looking to import the 5nm and 6nm process nodes from TSMC, it will either be for the Snapdragon 888+ or some yet-to-be-announced SKU.

Some sources indicate that, since the world is experiencing a global semi-conductor crisis, Qualcomm might attempt to secure additional supplies for the Snapdragon 888. There have been many reports indicating that Qualcomm has been running short with the supply of its Snapdragon 888, and even the CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, stated that the chipset was short in supply.

However, Qualcomm addressing the issue, has warned some of its customers that chipset deliveries could be delayed by as long as thirty weeks. It’ll be interesting to see how TSMC-made Snapdragon 888 chipsets hold up against their Samsung counterparts. But, the news of Qualcomm cracking a deal with TSMC could bode ill-will for the South Korean tech giant.

Toni Kroos reveals Real Madrid’s plan against Liverpool

Real Madrid have recently won the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie against Liverpool by 3-1 without Ramos, Varane, Carvajal and Hazard among notable names. Zidane trusted in Vinicius and it paid off as the Brazilian scored two goals to give Real Madrid a two-goal cushion heading into the second leg. Toni Kroos dictated the midfield and was superb with his passing ranges.

The German midfielder admitted that Real Madrid’s game plan was to attack Liverpool’s young defence and exploit the injury issues in Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

He further revealed that their tactic was to press high and win the ball back off the defence by forcing mistakes in order to stop the forward players from being able to get the ball early. He also added that Real Madrid wanted to play passes forward and keep hold of possession to attack Liverpool.

Speaking to Sony Sports, as transcribed by the Liverpool Echo, Toni Kroos outlined Real’s tactics for the match. “A lot of things went well in the first half. I think we came out very motivated and even concentrated in our game plan and it went well, we tried to attack them very early because we knew that they also have to change some players because they have some injured players at the back. So, maybe we thought that’s going to be a good chance to win the ball very early and it went well.

“And of course when we have the ball, our idea was to keep the ball, keep the possession and play forward. And I think all of this went well especially when we lost the ball, we got the back ball very fast, I think this was one key for this great first half.

“Yeah, I mean it’s normal, I think that you try to figure out of the rival you know where some points where you can attack them. But it’s not only the point because they had to change some defenders but also that they come not too easily to their front because of all of us now what quality they have and you know in the front so one idea of course was to attack the defenders so that they cannot go easily to the front where they have most of their qualities.”
