Google used a secret program called Project Bernanke to increase its earnings in digital marketing

We all know that an anti-trust lawsuit has been filed against the search engine giant Google and also that the company is trying its best to fight against the said lawsuit. However, a new report from the Wall Street Journal has stated that Google used a secret program called “Project Bernanke” for years to increase its clients’ chances of winning bids for competitive ad space.

The original report was submitted by the state, which argues that the program gave Google an unfair competitive advantage against rival ad-buying tools and allowed it to pay publishers less for winning bids. But, if you are wondering as to whether the report is indeed legit, then make no mistake, it is. because google itself has acknowledged the existence of Project Bernanke.

In its defense, Google stated that Project Bernanke used data about historical bids made through Google Ads to adjust client bids there and tip the odds in their favor at ad auctions. However, the company did not inform its publishers who sold ads through its ad-buying systems about the existence of Project Bernanke.

It’s still unknown as to whether how much did google make using its secret project, but, official sources confirm that an estimate of about $230 million was generated in revenue in 2013.

“In this advertising monopoly on an electronically traded market, Google is essentially trading on ‘insider information’ by acting as the pitcher, catcher, batter, and umpire, all at the same time. This isn’t the ‘free market’ at work here. This is anti-market and illegal under state and federal law.”

According to the Journal, in the filing, Google denied that there was anything wrong about using the exclusive information it had to inform its client bids. The company said that this was “comparable to data maintained by other buying tools.”

The major reason for the Anti-trust lawsuit is that Google is the most dominant force in the digital ads market. Google is accused of repeatedly monopolizing its power to control the way ads are priced and rig ad auctions. This type of behavior allows Google to “continually illegally profit by taking money away from those web pages and putting it in their own pockets.”

NVIDIA announces ARM-based ‘Grace’ CPU Chip for Data Center

NVIDIA has announced its first CPU codenamed Grace, after computer scientist, one of the pioneers of computer science, Grace Hopper. Grace, the CPU, is designed for the modern data center. Hopper was and one of the first programmers of Harvard Mark 1 and inventor of the first linkers.

NVIDIA Unveils The Grace CPU, Its First ARM-Based Processor, Aimed at Datacenters With Neoverse Cores

NVIDIA’s Grace CPU is the company’s first design featuring the next-generation Neoverse cores that have for years been under development. The whole SOC (System On a Chip) is a combination of several chips which come with three main components, the GPU, the CPU, and the memory/IO subsystems. NVIDIA hasn’t revealed many details but according to WCCFTECH, “the company did state that the Grace CPU will be able to deliver a score of 300 in SPECrate2017_Int_base.”

The American tech company has stated that its Grace is a highly specialized processor targeting workloads such as training next-generation NLP (Natural Language Processing) models that have parameters exceeding 1 trillion. 10x faster performance than today’s state-of-the-art NVIDIA DGX-based systems, which run on x86 CPUs, can be provided when a Grace CPU-based system is tightly coupled with NVIDIA GPUs.

As the volume of data and size of AI models are growing exponentially, NVIDIA is introducing Grace. Training our time’s largest AI models, which include billions of parameters and are doubling every two-and-a-half months, requires a new CPU that can be tightly coupled with a GPU to eliminate system bottlenecks.

The Santa Clara, California-based company built Grace by leveraging the incredible flexibility of Arm’s data center architecture. NVIDIA is advancing the goal of technology diversity in AI and HPC communities by introducing a new server-class CPU.

Grace’s First Adopters Push Limits of Science and AI

CSCS and Los Alamos National Laboratory, a United States Department of Energy national laboratory, both plan to bring Grace-powered supercomputers, built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), online in 2023.

“With an innovative balance of memory bandwidth and capacity, this next-generation system will shape our institution’s computing strategy,” said Thom Mason, director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, according to WCCFTECH. “Thanks to NVIDIA’s new Grace CPU, we’ll be able to deliver advanced scientific research using high-fidelity 3D simulations and analytics with datasets that are larger than previously possible.”

Delivering Breakthrough Performance, Up To 10x Faster Than x86 Servers

Fundamental to Grace’s performance is the fourth-gen NVIDIA NVLink interconnect technology. The fourth-gen tech provides a record 900 GB/s connection between Grace and NVIDIA GPUs. This record speed enables 30x higher aggregate bandwidth compared to today’s leading servers.

nvidia-grace-arm-cpu-performance-vs-x86-_2

LPDDR5x memory subsystem will be utilized by Grace. This subsystem will deliver 2x the bandwidth and 10x better energy efficiency compared with DDR4 memory. In addition, the new architecture provides unified cache coherence with a single memory address space, to simplify programmability by combining system and HBM GPU memory.

WCCFTECH notes, “Grace will be supported by the NVIDIA HPC software development kit and the full suite of CUDA and CUDA-X libraries, which accelerate more than 2,000 GPU applications, speeding discoveries for scientists and researchers working on the world’s most important challenges.”

Availability of Grace CPUs is expected at the beginning of 2023.

Apple iPad Pro 2021 to launch by mid-April | Complaint filed against Apple and Qualcomm for patent infringement

Earlier reports said that the US tech giant, Apple, is reportedly ready to launch new iPad models in the first half of 2021. According to Bloomberg, Apple is going to launch a new iPad Pro in April itself now.

In recent months, there have been issues related to Mini-LED displays from the supply side of the market but Apple is keen to launch its new iPad with a Mini-LED screen. Thus, it is set to replace the LCD panels. The leaks in the market suggest that iPad Pro can be powered by the Apple A14X chipset. This tells that it may have a processor based on the Apple M1 chip.

We can expect a new iPad Pro by the end of this month but the more expensive version of the Mini-LED display will only be sold after a few weeks only. This new device will come up with much-improved camera features. It can also support a Thunderbolt connection via a USB-C port. Let’s see if the tech giants are going to unveil the device via a virtual event or will take the route of a press release.

In other news, Apple and Qualcomm are accused of patent infringement by Red Rock. In the last week, the lawsuit is filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas. Qualcomm’s SMR526, SDR865, and SDX55M are the infringing products named in the lawsuit.

The reports also mention that iPhone 12 is built with the support of this infringing transceiver technology. The suing party also says that Apple and Qualcomm had prior knowledge of the existing patent. To make it more complicated, the lawsuit also alleged that Qualcomm was served with reminders of the patent’s existence at least three times between 2008 and 2011, according to the complaint.

The complaint claims that Apple and Qualcomm’s actions were unlawful. Both the tech giants “have been, and continue to be, committed in a knowing willful, and egregious manner and constitute a willful infringement of” the intellectual property. Let’s wait for further updates on this matter.

Anuj Sharma: POCO F Series is in the works, will be a ‘much higher-priced’ phone

When Anuj Sharma, Country Director of POCO India, shared the review of recently launched POCO X3 Pro in his Twitter account, a fan asked him about the POCO F series smartphone on which Anuj replied that the smartphone series is under development and it will be a ‘much higher priced’ device when launched in India. This clearly indicates that the F series smartphones will be higher-end smartphones with a much higher price range on them.

Work-in-progress

It will be a much higher priced device when ready
— Anuj Sharma (@s_anuj) April 12, 2021

Last month the company had launched the POCO F3 in Europe. This is the rebranded Redmi K40 and talking about that POCO F series is said to be the flagship killer series and for the past few years, it seems to have toned down in some of its aspects. Indian customers seem to be demanding a proper flagship killer this time except for any rebranded smartphone which already exists.

As mentioned by Anuj about the higher priced POCO F series, we think he is talking about the POCO F3 which comes in two different variants in European markets. Where the 6 GB + 128 GB variant comes at a price of EUR 349 or Rs 30,000 and the 8 GB + 256 GB variant is priced at EUR 399 or Rs 35,000.

This somewhat explains what Anuj is talking about. If this smartphone is said to be the company’s current flagship globally and according to Anuj POCO F series will be higher priced means it will be priced above the current POCO X3 Pro in India, and the price of POCO F3 fairly matches the puzzle. But this is a mere hunch, we request you not to fixate yourself on a name just yet. There might be some changes in plans or things might go totally different in the future, so it is better not to think about any particular device until some official or any solid leak comes forward.

Jesse Lingard being monitored by Real Madrid, Inter and PSG

Jesse Lingard has essentially revived his career with West Ham United, and that has already seen him earn a place in the England squad for the world cup qualifiers recently. Additionally, he is now being monitored by European heavyweights of the likes of PSG, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

The three have been keeping tabs on Lingard, who has scored 8 from his last 9 games for the Hammers and was nominated for the Premier League player of the month in February and March.

jesse lingard Jesse Lingard being monitored by Real Madrid, Inter and PSG

Despite his resurgence as an attacking player, it is extremely unlikely that the player will make a place for himself at Manchester United at the end of the season and the red discussion and it looks likely that West Ham would want to keep their plate with them.

Hammers boss David Moyes was also pleased with Lingard’s performances for the club, and this is what he had say regarding the player:

‘He has come in and helped the team greatly in the way he has played and also his attitude around the club, it has lifted us up.

Jesse Lingard is better than ever under David Moyes at West Ham

‘I didn’t expect Jesse to probably get as many goals so I am really thrilled with the amount of goals he is getting at the moment and long may it continue.’

Real Madrid, Inter and PSG bring more value to the play and are now looking at Lingard as a realistic option wlth has no future at Manchester United, and there will be is a great player at his new club.
