East Bengal recruit former player Raju Gaikwad back to the club

Former East Bengal centre back Raju Gaikwad is set to rejoin the club in the ISL in January. According to journalist Marcus Mergulhao, the defender has once again agreed on terms with his former club and is set to join soon. 

The newly introduced club have had a horrifying start to the season, with three losses in three games played. Furthermore, they are yet to score their first goal in the ISL. East Bengal currently sit last in the table and have the worst defensive record of all the clubs in the competition, conceding 7 goals in three games so far. 

Gaikwad rejoining East Bengal is news that could not have come at a better time for the fans of the Red and Yellow club. The defender has 6 season’s worth of experience in the ISL previously, having applied his trade to clubs like FC Goa, Mumbai City FC, Jamshedpur FC and Kerala Blasters, most recently before becoming a free agent in July. 

Standing at 1.8 metres tall, the centre back has also managed to get 24 caps for the Indian national team. 

At 30, the Mumbai born defender has a plethora of experience to offer to the currently disorientated East Bengal defense. Robbie Fowler’s recent injury concerns are also not making things any easier.

Club captain Danny Fox is already set to miss some time out on the sidelines owing to an injury he suffered in the 3-0 defeat at the hands of Mumbai City FC.

East Bengal need a hero right now, as bad as they have ever. Fans all across the country will be hoping that Danny Fox recovers as quickly as possible. Moreover, Gaikwad’s reported signing could also add composure and experience the Gold and Red backline to help turn the season around.

ISL 2020-21: Hyderabad FC has one of the largest online fan bases

Six years after Indian Super league’s establishment, it has grown into one of the world’s most popular football leagues.

In the era of digital media, especially social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, has been a key factor in the rise of popularity of the ISL.

Another new ISL team has emerged, Hyderabad FC, with 80k followers in total and 55.1k followers on Instagram, has created a lot of buzz with their unique logo launch on social media platforms. The logo showed Charminar, one of the most prominent and important sites in the city.

However, their performance last season was not up to the mark, as they finished at the bottom of the ISL standings with just two wins in eighteen matches. They hope for a better upcoming season in 2020-21 season and would want to give their fans something to cheer about on social media platforms.

Despite their bad season, Hyderabad FC fans have shown a lot of promise in their previous seasons and hopefully would continue to in future.

In the mid-August 2020, Hyderabad FC announced their two-year partnership with German Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund (BVB). The aim is to create infrastructure like that of Dortmund and nurture and develop young players and transplant that into Hyderabad’s academy structure and coaching education and will also impart its expertise in technology to innovate more and help in expanding their fan base.

This season Hyderabad has also brought in the Spanish trio of defender Odei Onaindia, striker Francisco Sandaza and midfielder Lluis Sastre into the squad.

They are stacked in the goalkeeping department with veteran Subrata Paul and Laxmikant Kattimani in their ranks. Plus, they also have Adil Khan, who has been a regular for the Indian team.

Now they will look for a better finish under Spanish coach Manuel Marquez Roca.

Apple preps 32-Core Mac processors aiming to surpass Intel chips

Apple is working on a new ARM-based processor with as many as 32 high-performance CPU cores to gradually phase out the use of intel cores, according to a new report from Bloomberg. The processor could also appear in a new “half-sized Mac Pro” that is slated to release in 2022. 

The American tech giants, Apple, are making a new series of Mac processors, and the first of the new chips could be launched as early as spring 2021, the report said. This comes after Apple debuted the M1, its first Mac main processor, in November.

The engineers are already working on multiple follow-ups, the sources close to Bloomberg cited, including a chip with as many as 32 power cores for a new half-sized Mac Pro. After release, the new chips will be used across new versions of the iMac desktops, MacBook Pro, and an upcoming Mac Pro workstation.

Apple’s M1 chip comes with 8 CPU cores; 4 high-performance cores, and 4 efficiency cores.

The company’s smartphone-like M1 chip that features a CPU with four high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores is being used in the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini. However, Apple is still using Intel chips for its more powerful machines like the Mac Pro. Over the course of the next two years, Apple intends to transition its whole Mac lineup onto its own chips.

Bloomberg reports that Apple is also working on chips with more Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) cores. While the November release M1 chip comes with either seven or eight GPU cores, it is currently testing models with 16 and 32-cores. By late 2021 or 2022, Apple aims to release a chip with as many as 128 GPU cores, which would be far faster than the Intel and AMD processors it currently uses.

Apple is looking at designs featuring up to four efficiency cores and 16 power cores for its upcoming chip for MacBook Pro and iMacs, the sources revealed. But depending on how the manufacturing process goes, Apple may launch other chips that are mid-way between the two versions, with eight or 12 power cores.

Apple’s ambitious plans to move its entire Mac lineup onto its own silicon in the next two years provides justice to the fact that it has more powerful chips in development. Thanks to their combination of power-efficiency and performance, its first ARM-based Macs have impressed. Still, it will be a far bigger challenge to match the capabilities of its more powerful Intel-based machines like the Mac Pro.

Older Samsung wearables won’t be supported by Galaxy S21 and others

If you are using 6 or 7 years old versions of Samsung wearables, there’s a piece of bad news for you. According to some reports in the market, some of the new Samsung phones launching in 2021 won’t support a few of Samsung wearables. Earlier, Samsung used to release its wearables under the name Gear and not Galaxy. Below is the list of these wearables.

  • Samsung Galaxy Gear
  • Samsung Galaxy Gear 2
  • Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Neo
  • Samsung Gear S
  • Samsung Gear Fit

These devices are all launched between 2013 and 2014. Samsung wants its customer to switch to the newer wearables. This move will end the demand for the older versions. At the same time, it will force people to venture into the market to buy newer products. One such smartphone which is supposed to launch next month is from the Galaxy S21 series. This series is rumored to start the trend of not supporting the above-listed wearables. Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra are part of the Galaxy S21 series. Apart from Galaxy S21, other smartphones that won’t support these older wearables are Galaxy A32 and Galaxy A52. 

These listed wearables will continue to operate in older smartphones. Customers won’t have to switch to newer products if they are wishing to continue with older mobiles. That means, if you wish to use the Gear Fit with the Galaxy S20, this latest development won’t affect you. But, as a user, you will be thinking that your product can become extinct later on. Thus, you will also feel the need to keep using new versions if they meet your objective and budget. Although Samsung has provided excellent service and support to these devices, the company believes this is the right time to switch to newer devices.

India’s Export Potential in Motherboards between 2021-26 Valued at ₹8 Lakh Crore: Report

India’s Export Potential in Motherboards between 2021-26 Valued at ₹8 Lakh Crore: Report

A joint report released by mobile devices industry body ICEA and EY claimed that India could export motherboards, which are technically called Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA), worth up to ₹8 lakh crore between 2021-2026.

However, the report included that in the absence of government incentives and subsidies, the export potential will significantly decrease to around ₹29,500 crores during the five-year period. For the potential to be met, the government must provide support of 4-6 percent in exports of PCBAs.

Pankaj Mohindroo, Chairman of India Cellular & Electronics Association (ICEA), said that the cumulative export potential of ₹8 lakh crore by 2026 has to be recognized by the Indian government. Mohindroo said that currently, the size of the PCBA industry in India is approximately ₹2 lakh crore, and during the 2021-26 period, it is expected to reach ₹6.4 lakh crore.

The National Policy on Electronics (NPE) 2019 forecasts electronic manufacturing turnover of USD 400 billion (₹26 lakh crore at the foreign exchange rate when this policy was approved) by 2025. Out of the USD 400 billion, the mobile phone segment is expected to contribute USD 190 billion ( ₹13 lakh crore).

According to ICEA, PCBA can contribute ₹8 lakh crore to the NPE target, and an additional ₹7 lakh crore can be added by IT hardware, which includes laptop and tablet manufacturing. 

“We have requested for separate production linked incentives for PCBA. Mobile devices will majorly drive the consumption of PCBA in India,” Mohindroo said in the report.

“Standalone PCBA exports from India face cost disabilities against well-established manufacturing hubs, with large manufacturing capacities, such as China and Vietnam. Besides, China offers various incentives for R&D activities, tax benefits on exported goods, policies to promote an export culture, significant investments across the value chain, and technology transfer from global players,” he added.

In 2019-20, India’s exports of standalone PCBAs for mobile phones were USD 0.15 billion ( ₹1,100 crores). By 2020-21 these are expected to be USD 0.30 billion ( ₹2,200 crores).

“For other electronic products, standalone PCBA exports are estimated to begin only from 2022-23 as manufacturing capacities increase in the country,” the report said.

Why you and your wallet should be afraid of next-gen consoles?

Why you and your wallet should be afraid of next-gen consoles?

Due to Covid-19, the supply chain of the world has been disrupted. Not to mention soon, the world will be starting the global distribution of Covid vaccines. All the export-import resources will be allocated to the successful distribution of the vaccination. But, the past few weeks have been extraordinary in terms of the PC market and gaming industry. The launch of next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft and the launch of the latest graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD have open possibilities for the PC community.

So, if you are thinking about purchasing the next-gen consoles from your nearest retail store, then, by all means, think again. Though the next-gen consoles are released in the market, the manufacturers face a severe shortage of retail stores. Due to a lack of supply of the consoles, their prices have skyrocketed. Though the companies are not at fault, they should have realized the situation earlier and could have handled it a little better.

According to sources, the low supply has caused inflation in the prices of the next-gen consoles. The retailers are selling the products at extremely high prices, and it is not only about the consoles, but even the games are being sold at high prices for the consoles. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox series X|S is indeed being sold.

Not only the consoles but even Nvidia’s RTX 3090, 3080, 3070, and even 3060 Ti graphics cards are also being sold for high prices. The demand for the cards is hot in the market, and as per the reports, the green team cannot supply the necessary required amount of cards. The problem is not related to Nvidia alone. Sources have found that AMD’s RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT GPUs are being sold for extremely high market prices.

Though we say that the demand for graphics processors and next-gen consoles are high in the market, it doesn’t necessarily mean that all the users are willing to pay the extreme prices for the products. Gamers face a dilemma as to what to do with the fact that the retailers are selling these products at almost twice their original price.

PS5, Xbox, GPU street prices: Holiday 2020

ItemRetail PriceStreet Price
PS5 (disc)$499$1,024
PS5 (digital)$399$990
Xbox Series X$499$835
Xbox Series S$299$471
Nvidia RTX 3090$1,499$2,076
Nvidia RTX 3080$699$1,227
Nvidia RTX 3070$499$819
Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti$399$675
AMD RX 6800 XT$649$1,232
AMD RX 6800$579$841

The price inflation problem is mainly due to the shortage of supply. And even Microsoft has clearly mentioned that it won’t meet the demand any time soon. Thus, users have to battle out the high prices of their favorite products for quite some time.

Intel Jasper Lake-based Celeron N5105 quad-core CPU spotted

Intel Jasper Lake-based Celeron N5105 quad-core CPU spotted

AMD has recently dominated Intel on the laptop CPU market’s budget side, and their costly Ice Lake processors have not been that compelling. In contrast, the Ryzen 3000U series at ultra-low prices has attracted many people, including big clients and OEMs.

Even Chromebooks these days run on Ryzen processors; Intel needs to do something to recover its image as the dominator in this budget segment. Maybe this is the reason why they introduced the world with their new Jasper Lake-based Pentium and Celeron CPUs built on 10nm Tremont architecture.

This is the first time we have an actual leak of these new processors and has been spotted by none other than @TUM_APISAK. The desktop range for the Jasper Lake processors uses a modest 10W TDP, while the mobile range will be using 6W TDP, and each of the ranges will have 3 processors with almost similar naming schemes.

So, the tipster has found the Celeron N5105 quad-core CPU on Userbenchmark, and this is indeed a low power consuming desktop CPU. The Celeron N5105 is a 4 core, 4 thread processor clocked at 2.0GHz base and up to 2.8GHz (max quad-core burst). It also comes equipped with Intel UHD Graphics, 4M L2 cache.

Intel Jasper Lake-based Celeron N5105 quad-core CPU spotted

Intel had been lazy to offer 4 cores at budget, but with fanless Jasper Lake-based CPUs, we could actually see a change. If you see the CPU’s performance, it is not meant for heavy workloads or such, but it seems like for casual work, browsing, and daily usage, this CPU indeed makes sense.

These new Intel Jasper Lake processors are expected to launch early next year and with this leak, it seems confirmed.
