Is AMD developing a new graphics processor?

0

AMD will have a big start to the year 2021, with big announcements lined up for CES 2021. A new Navi 21 GPU variant has been spotted on the USB Implementers Forums website before the event that has raised a lot of questions.

While it is expected that AMD will launch the mid-range RX 6700 XT GPU at CES, this new Navi 21 XTXH variant is confusing. We know that Navi 21 XTX variant is used in AMD’s flagship Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU, so if the XTXH variant will be a higher-tier model or a sub-variant of the existing XTX chip is still unclear.

Also there’s the mention of the PDP (Power Delivery Profiles) of 27W and the wattage refers to the power of the USB Type-C connector.

On the other hand, another listing spotted by Komachi shows the name “Nashira Point”, a new Radeon GPU submitted to the USB organization. Now, its unclear whether this a new codename for an upcoming graphics processor or a codename already used internally for a product released earlier.

4. James Rodriguez | 46.6m followers

The Columbian superstar has a huge fan following. He came to the forefront when he scored that wonder goal in the 2014 World Cup. He then signed for Real Madrid and has won many trophies with the Spanish giant. He has recently signed for Premier League club Everton for free and how that has happened is still a mystery! But no matter what, Everton has got a great player both on and off the pitch as his followers will give Everton more supporters and recognition.

3. Neymar Jr | 144.6m followers

The PSG superstar has often been criticised for his off the field activities but there’s no denying that he is one of the most talented players in world football. PSG brought him for a record transfer fee of $222m from Barcelona. The Brazilian often likes to celebrate and party to enjoy his life!

0

Earlier this week, Xiaomi has launched its Mi 11 smartphone and as of now, it is the first-ever and the only smartphone in the market to get powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. After this, a bunch of upcoming smartphones is already there on which the manufacturers have confirmed that those will be powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset.

One of those manufacturers is nubia, which has confirmed that it will launch a Z series smartphone that will be powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset. nubia has not revealed any more details about that upcoming Z series device. As of now, that phone got appeared on the Geekbench website with the model number NX669J and from that listing, we’ve come to know that this upcoming nubia Z series smartphone will run on the Android 10 OS and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM.

If we talk about the Geekbench listing scores, this upcoming smartphone has managed to score 1004 points in the single-core and 3306 points in the multi-core. As of now, nubia has not confirmed the retail name of that device. But we can expect that this device may arrive with a retail name Red Magic 6, as this phone had been teased last month with an electrochromic back panel.

Previously launched Red Magic 5S features a 6.53-inch FHD+ AMOLED display supported by a 144Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. So, in the case of Red Magic 6, we can definitely expect a premium display as well like the Magic 5S. We hope, in the upcoming days, nubia will surely share something more about its upcoming Z series SD 888 powered smartphone.

Top 5 NBA Title contenders in the 2020-21 season

There are a total of 30 teams in the NBA. Each team has its differences, uniqueness, strengthens and weaknesses. But only 1 team prevails victorious and picks up the NBA Championship trophy.

Here’s our ranking of top title-contending teams from this NBA season, from 5-1.

5. Denver Nuggets

Conference: Western
2019-2020 Record: 46-27
Seed: #3 in Western Conference

Denver Nuggets has been one of the most improving teams since the past four-five seasons. Last year they exceeded the expectations of many people in the league. They were the only team in NBA history to make a come back from two 3-1 deficit in the same playoff run – against Utah in the first round and the Clippers in the second round. They eventually fell to the Lakers (who went on to be the champions) 4-1, in the Western Conference Finals. The team is well-led by the best center in the league – Nikola Jokic and their point guard Jamal Murray. No one will be surprised if this Nuggets team made another deep playoff run, or even manage to win the championship.

4. Brooklyn Nets

Conference: Eastern
2019-2020 Record: 35-37
Seed: #7 in Eastern Conference

This season, the Nets easily have one of the best duos in the whole league with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Durant was out the whole season last year due to a torn ACL injury. But this year, he is back and looking better than before – shooting flawlessly, dribbling with no hesitation, getting to the rim with ease and picking difficult rebounds. Apart from these two All-Stars, the team is stacked with talent. Players like DeAndre Jordan, Caris LeVert, Jarret Allen, Joe Harris, Landry Shamet all have game-changing potential. The reason the Nets aren’t ranked higher in this list is, their team isn’t experienced to perform in the playoffs and we can’t expect Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to be in their best shape just one season after their injury. Never the less, this stacked Brooklyn looks dangerous.

The Clippers are led by their new head coach this season, Ty Lue.

3. Los Angeles Clippers

Conference: Western
2019-2020 Record: 49-23
Seed: #2 in Western Conference

Los Angeles Clippers have the best two-way team in the league, defensive and offensive threat players. Last year, they had a great regular season. But they had an unexpected exit in the second round of the playoffs against the Nuggets 4-3 (where they were leading 1-3). The leadership and duo of All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are impeccable. The Clippers organisation changed their coaches, firing Doc Rivers and hiring Ty Lue as the new head coach. Ty Lue has previously won a championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where LeBron was the leader. The Clippers even have the three-time Sixth-Man of the year, Lou Williams who has been adding depth to their bench since the past 4 seasons now. With a few new additions like Serge Ibaka and Nicolas Batum, they have not only added talent but also added a lot of needed experience on the squad.

The Bucks have a great chance to win the NBA Title this season.

2. Milwaukee Bucks

Conference: Eastern
2019-2020 Record: 56-17
Seed: #1 in Eastern Conference

The Bucks had the best record in the whole league, last season. The team is led by the back-to-back MVP and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year – Giannis Antetokounmpo. The team were stunned last year when they were shocked by the Miami Heat in the second round of the playoffs 4-1. But Bucks fans have something to be happy about, Giannis Antetokounmpo signed a five-year, $228 million contract keeping him Milwaukee till the 2024-2025 season. Often, the other All-Star, Khris Middleton doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, being the perfect wingman for Giannis. They have had new acquisitions like Jrue Holiday, DJ Augustin and Bryn Forbes who will have a positive impact on the team.

1. Los Angeles Lakers

Conference: Western
2019-2020 Record: 52-19
Seed: #1 in Western Conference

The reigning NBA Champions are the favourites to win the 2020-2021 NBA title and have back-to-back trophies. The duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, teamed up for the first time last season and managed to win a championship with the Lakers. They proved their dominance last season. But this season, the team looks stronger than ever. They have had so many acquisitions including the reigning Sixth-Man of the Year Montrezl Harrell, Marc Gasol and Dennis Schroder. There is no doubt that the Lakers has the most talented team in the league and have good players even on their bench. With the great leadership of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, many see this team win back-to-back Championships.

Other than these great teams, teams like Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and Houston Rockets do deserve a mention on this list.

Sheffield United have made a new Premier League record in the worst way

Sheffield United are facing the worst start in the Premier League history. Sheffield United has lost 15 of their first 17 games in the league and now are bottom of the league with just 2 points. This is the worst start of a league campaign by a club in the top flight league of England.

Sheffield United started the new year with a loss against Crystal Palace by 2-0 yesterday. Jeffrey Schlupp put Palace into the lead in the 4th minute of the game. Eberechi Eze doubled the lead in the injury time of the first half. Sheffield United failed to fight back in the second half.

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits that Premier League is a ‘harsh league when you’re off the pace’.

After the match, Sheffield’s boss said, “It was the perfect storm last season – players were at the top of their game and we had no injuries.”

“Now injuries are hitting us quite hard. But we had enough on the pitch to get us a result. The result wasn’t decided when the team sheet came in. It was decided in the fourth minute and the last 30 seconds of the first half.”

“This club, over the past three, four years, is not used to losing games. It’s difficult, it’s a struggle, its ruthless and murders you at times with what you’re up against.”

“We have to do it sooner than later. There are records to be broken – we have to find a win from somewhere.”

Previously Derby County has experienced the worst ever Premier League season in 2007-08 and was relegated with just 11 points in that season. It will be interesting to see if the Blades can surpass them or not.

Moto G Stylus 2021 surfaced in a new set of renders, looks quite different this time

Back in November, Motorola had teased its fans that the company is planning a successor of the Moto G Pro 2020, named Moto G Stylus 2021. Motorola is going to launch this phone in 2021. Last month, we’ve got the leaks regarding this phone’s design and specs via Amazon listing. That Amazon listing had shown its pricing as well as specifications. But unfortunately, the listing was no longer accessible since now. Recently, some new renders have got leaked of this phone. But this time, the design of that device looks quite a bit different.

We’ve put both the older and newer leaks side by side for better comparison.

Fingerprint reader: In the older leak, we’ve been said that this phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner which included in its power button. But in the newer leak, it clearly shows that this phone has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner which we normally see in Motorola smartphones. Anyone can be the right one.

Rear camera setup: Another big change we’ve witnessed in its rear camera module. In the older leaks, this phone has a vertically placed rectangular quad rear camera setup supported by an LED flash. As per that listing from Amazon, this quad rear camera setup includes a 48-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel superwide sensor, a 2-megapixel macro, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

On the other hand, the newer leak suggests that this phone will have a square-shaped quad rear camera setup, supported by an LED flash. The design looks to get inspired by the iPhone 12 series. The front camera position (16MP selfie snapper) looks similar in both leaks.

As per the other specifications, the Moto G Stylus 2021 runs on the Android 10 OS and is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 chipset. Regarding the display, this phone is expected to have a bigger 6.8-inch full HD+ (1080 x 2400 pixels) hole-punch display with an aspect ratio of 20:9.

The SoC of this phone is paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. In terms of the battery, this phone is fueled up by a decent 4,300mAH battery. Regarding the dimension, this phone measures 6.93 x 3.39 x 1.93 inches and weighs around 14.1 ounces. At last, as it is Moto G Stylus (2021), it will carry a stylus with it. So, it is really cool to have a stylus with a mid-range smartphone.

As per the Amazon listing, the Moto G Stylus (2021) carries a price tag of $341.89. But, it may not be true as the company has not confirmed this. This 2021 version of the Moto G Stylus is expected to make its debut in the month of February of 2021.
