There has been a lot of rumours about the availability of the upcoming Zen 3 based processors including Ryzen 4000 CPUs and EPYC Milan server processors. Obviously, launching the Ryzen 3000XT processors was a move that got both negative and positive opinions, negative being AMD will not be able to deliver Ryzen 4000 CPUs that’s why they have substituted with these Matisse refresh processors.
On the other hand, positive views being this is a smart move to extend its portfolio, offering the XT processors for those who need higher clock speed and bringing down the prices of its predecessors. However, the recent tweet in which AMD CEO Lisa Su clearly tells how excited AMD is to announce the availability of their new Ryzen 3000XT CPUs on July 7, exactly the day a year ago when it all started with Ryzen 3000 & Radeon RX 5000 series GPUs.
The thing she also pointed out that the Zen 3 CPUs are looking great in the lab and AMD will be certainly launching them this year, which totally demolishes those previous rumours.
Obviously, the COVID-19 has affected every sector out there, so a mere delay in release of the next-gen Ryzen 4000 processors is still bearable. These Vermeer CPUs will be manufactured on TSMC’s 7nm+ EUV process which will be a big step up from current generation Zen 2 processors with rumours slated to say that these upcoming CPUs will deliver 15% IPC uplift than last gen.
Also, there a lot of rumours surrounding the upcoming Ryzen 4000 Renoir APUs based Zen 2 architecture, most likely, AMD will be launching both of them soon but the Renoir APUs should be available faster than the Vermeer ones. Only time will tell that, but if we do get the info we will be updating you all, but in 2020 more exciting stuff is coming from AMD.

bp and Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) today announced the start of their new Indian fuels and mobility joint venture, Reliance BP Mobility Limited (RBML). Following initial agreements in 2019, bp and RIL teams have worked closely over the past few months in a challenging environment to complete the transaction as planned. bp has paid RIL $1 billion for a 49% stake in the joint venture, with RIL holding 51%.
bp is one of the largest international energy companies in India with around 7,500 people in the oil, gas, lubricants and petrochemicals businesses. Operating under the “Jio-bp” brand, the joint venture aims to become a leading player in India’s fuels and mobility markets.
It will leverage Reliance’s presence across 21 states and its millions of consumers through the Jio digital platform. bp will bring its extensive global experience in high quality differentiated fuels, lubricants, retail and advanced low carbon mobility solutions bp and RIL expect the venture to grow rapidly to help meet India’s fast-growing demands for energy and mobility.
India is expected to be the fastest-growing fuels market in the world over the next 20 years, with the number of passenger cars in the country estimated to grow almost six-fold over the period. RBML aims to expand from its current fuel retailing network of over 1,400 retail sites to up to 5,500 over the next five years. This rapid growth will require a four-fold increase in staff employed in service stations – growing from 20,000 to 80,000 in this period. The joint venture also aims to increase its presence from 30 to 45 airports in the coming years.

Barcelona bought the talented right-back Emerson who plays on loan Real Betis and since then the Brazilian has played well for Betis and has attracted a lot of clubs around Europe as well.
However, the LaLiga team according to ‘Estadio Deportivo,’ fear that Barcelona will be selling Emerson this summer rather than leaving him in Seville as planned for another season. Emerson with his pace and defensive duties has really helped Real Betis, who owns half of his economic rights along with Barcelona.
But according to his transfer, the Brazilian has another season on loan at Betis, but Real Betis believe Barca may recall him to sell him now. This is not surprising because Barcelona needs to sell around 7/8 players before this summer transfer window ends.
So to avoid being left without a right-back, Real Betis has out a move for the Chilean international Mauricio Isla who ages 32. Isla’s contract with Fenerbahçe will be expiring this summer and he will head to Valencia to discuss his future with his agent.
But if we come back to the 21-year old Brazilian, Barcelona will obviously profit from selling Emerson but he would have been a great player for Barca in long term, although the current board doesn’t seem interested.
During this Indo-China conflict, the Boycott Chinese product sentiment in India reached its highest pick. Unfortunately, in the smartphone market, there are very few non-Chinese options are available, out of which products of Indian brands are hard to find. Especially in the budget smartphone section. To fulfill this gap, maybe, LAVA comes with its new handset LAVA Z61 Pro. Here are the specifications revealed until now –
The new model comes with a 5.45-inch HD+ display surrounded by bezels at the top and bottom and the screen has an 18:9 aspect ratio. For performance, there is a 1.6GHz octa-core processor, though the SoC brand name is unknown. Along with this, you will also get 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage facility which can be extended up to 128GB through microSD card.
If you look at the camera section, you will find a 5 MP front camera and at the back, an 8 MP camera with a LEF flash. These setups will provide you facilities like bokeh mode, panorama, HDR, night mode, burst mode, beautification features, and more.
To supply the power backup, the company put a 3,100mAh battery inside the handset that you can charge through the MicroUSB port. In addition, you will get wireless connectivity options via Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi and also has OTG support. LAVA is providing the face unlock facility for security rather than fingerprint scanner.
LAVA Z61 Pro is coming in two color variants i.e. Amber Red and Midnight Blu, and will be available on online e-commerce sites Amazon and Flipkart as well as at offline stores. The pricing is fixed at ₹5,774.
Manchester City legend David Silva will be leaving the club at the end of this season. He joined City in 2010 from LaLiga side Valencia. He is arguably the greatest player ever to wear the City shirt.
Silva has decided to call time upon his time in England as he completes 10 years with Manchester City. During his tenure at the Etihad Stadium, he has won 4 Premier League titles along with 2 FA Cups and 5 League Cups. He has scored 76 goals and provided 121 assists for City.
Manchester City beat Newcastle United by 5-0. Silva was captaining the side and scored a wonderful free-kick and set up another two goals for his teammates.
David Silva only has 5 matches left to play for Manchester City before leaving the club. He will end his playing days with City on 26th July.
Manchester City’s Director of football Begiristain said: “He [David Silva] has been unbelievable in football – especially here. He’s spent 10 wonderful years, winning trophies and changing the dynamic of the club.”
“He’s been one of the leaders – with Vincent [Kompany], with Yaya [Toure] and Kun [Aguero]. No one will forget what they’ve done.”
“Not only the way David plays football but helping us be a successful club. He will always be remembered because of that.”
Here’s two tweets from Manchester City and Kyle Walker. They have already started to mourn Silva leaving the club.
Pep Guardiola confirmed that David Silva will return to Etihad Stadium for a farewell match once fans are allowed back into the stadium. It will be unfair not to give one of their greatest club legends a befitting farewell.
Guardiola told reporters via video-conference as per Daily Mail: “He is coming back for the farewell game in front of all the fans because he is an incredible legend. They could name a street, a pitch, a statue (after him) — this is not my business.”
“David is maybe the best in small spaces, moving between lines, I’ve never seen anyone like him. He came back from lockdown in incredible form and rhythm. If he decides to play on, he can play anywhere – no doubt.”
“The young players have learned from David’s example. He is someone who doesn’t talk much but he leads by example. He’s a huge competitor.”
Silva will also go down as one of the greatest passers in England’s top-flight history. He gave two assists against Newcastle United which took his tally to 10 assists for this season. The Spanish midfielder has now provided at least 10 assists in all of his 10 seasons with Manchester City.
All the latest 2019-20 kits of football teams from all over the world are now available on Tech2Sports. Superior quality kits at the lowest price guaranteed. Show your support for your favourite club and country by wearing their colours.

The demand for the 5G handsets is increasing rapidly though countries like India have not yet the network facility available. All the SoC manufacturers are currently proactive to fulfil the demand by providing 5G enabled chips to smartphone manufacturers. Not only that but managing the price is also a challenge they have taken.
All the chip manufacturers like Qualcomm, MediaTek have already joined the race. MediaTek’s Dimensity chips have shown real performance in the mid-range smartphones and more smartphones are adapting to the cost effective 7nm based Dimensity chipsets.
As per a recent report from Taiwanese media, MediaTek may release its Dimensity 600 SoC as early as this quarter to take a lead in the race. Though there are no clear details about this product, the experts familiar with these things are saying it can give ahead to head challenge to its competitors.
