Valencia starlet Fabio Blanco is on the radar of Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, according to AS. The young winger has been hailed as the next Ferran Torres, with his style of play matching that of the former Valencia player, and them both being Spanish youngsters coming out of the Mestalla.
Madrid will be keen on trying to lure the player to the Bernabeu after missing out on Pedri to Barcelona last year and will battle it out with arch-rivals Barcelona to try and sign the youngster. However, the Blaugrana could have an advantage since their Sporting Director, Mateu Alemany has known Blanco for a few years.
Alemany himself was with Valencia, previously and hence knows Blanco well. This could convince the Valencia youngster to pledge his future to Camp Nou over the Spanish capital but it won’t be easy rejecting the biggest club in the world.
Valencia themselves are also keen on trying to renew the player’s contract before the big clubs try and pounce on him at the end of his contract, which is set to expire in June, and also before other European giants come sniffing. However, they will have to wait till the player turns 18 which won’t be until February of next year. .
The right-footed winger features for Valencia’s Under 19 team, and has also been called up for Spain’s under 16 side on three occasions.

As we already know, the Alder Lake 12th Gen’ CPUs will be the first Intel CPUs to utilize a hybrid core design approach and will be based on the 10nm Enhanced SuperFin process. It will bring support for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. Raptor Lake, on the other hand, will essentially carry most of these features and will only offer slight upgrades to the platform and core changes.

Meteor Lake, the 14th Generation CPU has also been listed, and it will be based on a new line of Cove core architecture. This is rumored to be known as the ‘Redwood Cove’ and will be based on a 7nm EUV process node. It is stated that the Redwood Cove is designed from the ground up to be an agnostic node and it is stated that TSMC will be a backup or even a partial supplier for the Redwood Cove-based chips.
It will also most likely be the first CPU generation from Intel to say farewell to the ring bus interconnect architecture. We have also heard reports that the Meteor Lake could be a fully 3D-Stacked design and could utilize an I/O die sourced from an external fab.
The platform will support both DDR5 & DDR4 memory with the mainstream and budget tier options. Intel has also listed down both Meteor Lake P and Meteor Lake M CPUs that will be aimed at mobility platforms.
Intel has also listed its server CPUs on its official page and the listing has confirmed the existence of the Intel Emerald Rapids and Diamond Rapid processors. According to the listings, the Sapphire Rapids family of 4th Gen Xeon Scalable Processors will be replaced by Emerald Rapids on the same Eagle Stream platform.
We already expected Intel to update its Xeon platform with Mountain Stream and Birch Stream. However, both Granite and Diamond Rapids are also listed for Mountain Stream but only Diamond Rapids is listed for the Birch Stream platform. For the unknown, it is reported that the Diamond Stream platform will replace Granite Rapids as its successor.
The Granite Rapids will launch in 2023 on the 7nm process node while Diamond Rapids will launch around 2024 and will feature either an advanced version of the 7nm process node or a 5nm process from Intel.

The color is seriously unique in this case and you can’t find it on any other Xbox hardware, it has a yellow resin color (top of the body).

Realme 8 Pro
Redmi Note 10 Pro Max
Camera
Realme 8 Pro features a quad-camera setup at the rear side which includes a 108MP Samsung HM2 primary sensor, an 8MP camera sensor, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP B&W lens. Redmi Note 10 Pro Max will provide you similar quad-camera setup at the back with a 108MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 5MP super-macro sensor, and a 2MP depth camera lens. Both smartphones have a selfie camera lens of 16 MP at the front.
Battery and Fast Charging
Redmi Note 10 Pro Max packs a 5020mAH battery cell and is paired with a 33W of fast charging support which is much better than Realme 8 Pro which draws energy from a smaller 4,500mAh battery cell which is paired with 50W fast-charging support.
Price
Realme 8 Pro comes in two variants with different prices:
6GB + 128GB = Rs 17,999
8GB + 128GB = Rs 19,999
Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is offered in three variants which are:
6GB RAM + 64GB internal storage: Rs. 18,999
6GB RAM + 128GB internal storage: Rs. 19,999
8GB RAM + 128GB internal storage: Rs. 21,999
Our Thoughts
It can be seen that in every aspect except prices Redmi Note 10 Pro Max pips Realme 8 Pro. In some domains, the battle is quite intense and in some Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is a clear winner. Talking about the display, Redmi offers a larger screen with a double refresh rate when compared to Realme’s device. The battery cell of the former is much powerful than that of the former’s. The fight in terms of optics is quite close but Redmi Note 10 Pro Max’s super macro sensor just edge out Realme 8 Pro. Though Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is Rs 2000 more expensive than Realme 8 Pro, the features offered do excite me to bend towards it.

Former FC Barcelona midfielder Xavi thinks German boss Joachim Low is the perfect man for FC Barcelona’s hot-seat.
In a recent interview with the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, he said, “Löw is made to train Barcelona because of his way of understanding the game and his personality.”
“Löw did his bit for Germany to develop a different way of understanding football that reminded me of the one I knew in the National Team and in Barcelona.”- he added.
“It is normal that there is some wear after such a long period.”
It is a strange claim from the side of Xavi Hernandez. Xavi himself is linked with a return to the Catalan Side to take charge of FC Barcelona. Xavi was set to become FC Barcelona manager to replace Ernesto Valverde before Ronald Koeman arrived in 2019.
However, the former Spanish midfielder is currently managing Qatari club Al-Sadd. He is not prioritising an immediate return to Catalonia currently.
On the other hand, Ronald Koeman is having a tough time in FC Barcelona. If the Catalans failed to win without silverware, Koeman can be sacked immediately. In that case, Xavi can be a perfect replacement. But after his recent interview, FC Barcelona can think otherwise.
Joachim Low is highly successful as the manager of the German National Team. Germany has won the FIFA World Cup 2014 by beating Lionel Messi Argentina in the final. It will be interesting to see him as the boss of FC Barcelona.
