TSMC to have its inventory correction pretty soon

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has become the world’s top producer of chips. According to the latest info, the TSMC could soon face an inventory correction in the first half of next year. It was first projected for the second quarter of this year, then postponed to the second half, and now the investment research firm has further moved it ahead to 2022.

Analysts have reduced TSMC’s profit estimate by 10% but at the same time increased the chipmaker’s price target to 580 Yuan from an earlier 550 Yuan. Daiwa Capital Markets believe that the chipmaker will face a demand reduction next year due to an economic slowdown. But at the same is optimistic regarding the chip makers performance in the coming years.

Sources believe that by the end of 2022, TSMC will be back on a growth trajectory. The major factor contributing to the semiconductor sector’s growth this year and the next will be fifth-generation (5G) cellular networks and high-performance computing (HPC) platforms.

Analysts believe that 5G smartphone shipments will grow by more than 100% year-over-year this year. Also, HPC devices will follow a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21% until 2022 forecasts the firm.

As automakers worldwide are suffering due to the shortage of chips, they have turned towards TSMC for their chips. However, TSMC is facing a water shortage and an increased influx of orders from automakers. Though the world is leading towards the Taiwanese manufacturer, TSMC has its fair share of troubles. The fab is operating in a difficult environment, as it plans to jump from one chip node to another rapidly.

TSMC is building a new facility for a new manufacturing process. Referred to as N3 internally, it will reduce transistor dimensions over 5nm, and TSMC plans for it to enter mass production in 2022.

The company’s chairman Dr Liu confirms that the 3nm manufacturing process is on track, but an inventory correction for 2022 stands the test of time. TSMC aims for a 70% 5nm increase by 2021 end to boost its output to 120,000 wafers/month.

Google to reduce the fee for developers making $1 million a year

Google to reduce the fee for developers making $1 million a year

We all know that Google collects 30% of the Play Store digital purchase from all the Android developers around the world. But recently Google announced that it will reduce its percent cut, on the first $1 million they make on the digital storefront each year, starting on July 1st.

According to the Android maker, this change could mean that 99 percent of Android developers that “that sell digital goods or services” will see a 50 percent reduction in fees.

But, an interesting thing here is that one similar kind of announcement was made by Apple last year. the Cupertino giant announced a 15% reduction in fee, only for those developers who make under $1 million. However, if an app makes more than $1 million in a year, then it will be subjected to a 30 percent rate yet again.

If we see the figures, we can note that the developers who make more than $1 million in a year are relatively less. Only 1% of Android developers make more than 1 million dollars in a year, to speak of actual numbers. So, Google seems to be wanting to reduce the 30% kick-in for those Android developers.

However, we forget that the developers who don’t make $1 million in a year with their App sales have to pay 30% to the Android maker.

“Android needs to be fully open to competition, with a genuinely level playing field among platform companies, app creators, and service providers. Competition in payment processing and app distribution is the only path to a fair app marketplace.”

But, the new policy comes at a critical moment when Google’s (and Apple’s) app store policies are under intense public scrutiny, kicked off by the removal of Epic Games’ Fortnite from both the App Store and Play Store. though Google’s new law seems to be helping those developers who make more than $1 million, Epic Games believe that Google’s new measure isn’t nearly far enough, and “does not address the root of the issue.”

Apple to announce new iPads soon as Work-From-Home boosts Sales

According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple Inc. plans to announce new iPads as early as April, adding to a product line that has performed particularly well during the restrictions imposed due to the lockdown where people work and study from home.

The Cupertino-based company plans to include the new devices in its iPad Pro line, adding a better processor and improved cameras. However, its looks and screen size, 1-inch and 12.9-inch, will be similar to the current iPad Pros.

The devices will have an updated processor, which will be on par with the faster M1 chip present in the latest MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini. Apple designs these processors, and typically manufacturing is outsourced to TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.). With at least the larger model, Apple is looking to include a Mini-LED screen, which would be brighter and have improved contrast ratios.

Adobe Photoshop Version 22.3 features support for the Apple M1 Silicon

According to Bloomberg, “in testing, the new iPad Pros have used a Thunderbolt connector, the same port on the latest Macs with custom Apple processors. The port doesn’t require new chargers, but it would enable connectivity with additional external monitors, hard drives and other peripherals. It’s also faster at syncing data than the USB-C technology used in the current models.”

An Apple spokeswoman refused to comment on the matter. However, the company’s plans could change as it announced its first product launch event of the year.

During the key holiday quarter of 2020, the iPad generated $8.4 billion in revenue for Apple, the most since 2014. Sales surged due to the increase in demand from people working and studying from home during the pandemic. As working and studying begin returning to offices and schools in the coming months, Apple will be betting on the new iPad models to maintain interest in the tablet line.

In March 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, the iPad Pro was last updated, adding a tweaked processor, a lidar scanner alongside the camera, and support for the Magic Keyboard with a Trackpad case.

Bloomberg News has reported earlier that Apple plans to refresh its cheapest iPad aimed at students with a thinner and lighter design later this year. This year, it’s also preparing to launch a new iPad mini with a larger screen.

Apple has several other product updates planned for this year, including the new iPhones and Apple Watches, major updates to the MacBook Pro laptop and iMac desktop, and an accessory for tracking physical objects’ location.

Arsene Wenger wants World Cup every two years and domestic leagues reduced to 18 teams

After managing Arsenal for almost an eternity, Arsene Wenger is now FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development. In his current role, Wenger wants to revamp the FIFA World Cup. He wants to hold the tournament every two years, and the qualifiers would also be grouped together so that the players don’t have to leave their clubs in the middle of the season.

Wenger also wants the domestic leagues to be reduced to 18 teams in order to lower the pressure off the players and give them a four weeks holiday.

Wenger told broadcasters BeIn Sport in an interview: “If you look at the teams in the World Cups usually the average age is 27/28. That’s why, because the World Cup, is every four years there are very few chances to win it again because when they go back to the next World Cup they are 32/33.”

“That’s why maybe we should organise the World Cup every two years.”

“Kick all the rest [of the competitions like UEFA’s Nations League] out. Organise only competitions of meaning and kick all the parallel competitions out of the game. People must understand what is at stake and only have games with meaning.”

“I would say that’s one of the solutions we will discuss is to compact the qualifiers but instead of going away in October, November, September, March, June, we regroup the qualifiers all in one month or two quadruples in October and in February but at least the players can dedicate that time to the club from March until June, and we would gain four dates.”

“The ideal solution would be to regroup the qualifiers in one month, let’s say in October, you qualify and the rest of the season you play for your club and then at the end of the season you play the national team Championships but that will be a complete evolution, not revolution.”

“It’s my dream… I just think I have the advantage of having worked in Japan. We played from March until November and it was perfect.”

“It would make things more simple. And let’s not forget that this summer break comes from the way where people were not professional, it’s over 100 years ago.”

“It was a good opportunity with the World Cup in November but it’s not the case, so that will not happen. But you need four weeks holiday and after that maybe you need to go down to 18 clubs (in domestic leagues), everywhere.”

“I believe it’s needed, with the physical resources that the players need today, it’s important that you have four weeks holiday.”

Manchester United haven’t made an offer for Nikola Milenkovic

Many reports have classified Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic as the top target for Manchester United this summer. However, speaking on the topic on the Here We Go podcast, Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio clarified that the Premier League club is only scouting the player as of now.

While the interest in the player is real, United have not placed any official bid yet. There are other clubs interested in the player too, and United will have to be concrete in their approach to try and prize the player away from Fiorentina for sure.

nikola milenkovic acf fiorentina 1594710708 43434 Manchester United haven't made an offer for Nikola Milenkovic

Milenkovic’s contract expires in June 2022, and he has rejected Fiorentina’s advances to negotiate a contract extension, wanting to compete at a higher level than the Serie A club can offer him. They will hence, have to cash in on him this summer or risk losing him for free in 2022.

Manchester United made a real bid for him a few years ago, as per Romano. But the transfer did not go through due to monetary disagreements between the two parties regarding the player’s value. Milenkovic is a versatile centre-back and can also be deployed as a right-back if needed. He has earned 26 caps for the Serbian national team and has played almost every minute of League football with Fiorentina this season.

Sponsorship revenues to grow 100% in IPL 2021

IPL 2021 is going to have a huge boost in sponsorship deals. As per sources, the sponsorship revenues can grow 100% in IPL 2021 compared to IPL 2020.

BCCI had recently announced Digital brokerage firm Upstox as the new official partner for IPL 2021. It means IPL 2021 will have 5 official partners in the league compared to the 3 of IPL 2020.

As per the sources, BCCI is holding talks with various companies and may add 1 more name to the official partner list very soon. BCCI had seen an almost 50% drop in the 13th edition of IPL, and the same is set to double this year.

However, without any new addition in future, IPL Sponsorship revenues have grown to 708 Cr this year for BCCI. In IPL 2020, it was just 400 Cr.

Here is the total amount of revenues in both IPL:

IPL 2020:

1 Title Sponsor [Dream11]: 222 Cr
3 Official Partners [Tata Motors / Cred / Unacademy]: 120 Cr
1 Umpire Sponsor [PAYTM]: 28Cr
1 Strategic Timeout Partner [CEAT]: 30Cr

IPL 2021:

1 Title Sponsor [VIVO]: 440 Cr
5 Official Partners – 210 Cr
1 Umpire Sponsor – 28 Cr
1 Official Strategic Timeout Partner – 30 Cr

However, the increase in total sponsorship will be beneficial for the IPL franchises as well. They will also earn big this time as the sponsorship revenues are shared with them as per the contractual terms between both parties.

David Alaba only has verbal agreement to join Real Madrid

Despite the situation being silent for the last month or so, David Alaba still has a verbal agreement to join Real Madrid at the end of the season. The mutual agreement was confirmed by Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio on the Here We Go podcast.

With that said, it must be clarified that the player still hasn’t signed any paperwork with Real Madrid and still has his options open. In the meantime, other clubs are still trying to talk to his agent and potentially negotiate a deal with him. Among the other clubs interested in him are Chelsea and PSG.

There were rumours that Barcelona’s new President Joan Laporta would try and bring Alaba to Camp Nou as part of the new project. However, those were squashed by Romano saying there are no talks between the two parties and that Madrid is the only club that has an agreement with the player.

Los Blancos will have to pay a hefty €12 million for the player per season as part of his salary. Given the current financial situation, that is not something that a lot of clubs can afford and hence only the financially stronger clubs in Europe are pursuing the player despite him being a free agent at the end of the season.

Real Madrid news: Zidane and Modric to stay; Odegaard update

Owing to the good performances by Real Madrid in their last few games, Zinedine Zidane’s position with the club has changed. There were rumours that the Madrid boss could be sacked at the end of the season or even before should the team form continue to drop.

When we take into account the stature of the team, silverware that they win at the end of the campaign matters but the situation surrounding him are changing and there are positive feelings about the idea of him staying at the club beyond this season.

Real Madrid haven’t lost a game in La Liga since February, and while the situation isn’t ideal, still managed to take a point off Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid. Moreover, they also eased past Atalanta in the Round of 16, qualifying for the quarter-finals for the first time in three years.

Moving on to transfer talk, Luka Modric is confirmed to be staying. Speaking on the topic on the Here We Go podcast, Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio speculated that they probably want to announce Ramos and Modric together. Madrid president Florentino Perez will be pushing to retain Ramos. They have to find an economical agreement to make the player stay.

As for the situstion of Martin Odegaard, Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal board, the director and the player are all very well connected. Odegaard is only on a simple loan that will expire at the end of the season. The two clubs will meet and the future of the player will be decided.

Arsenal want to keep him considering his great professionalism and equally great performances. He was arguably the best January signing but wasn’t an easy deal, given that Real Sociedad were also trying to sign him.
