The regular ZTE Axon 20 is already available in Global markets. But ZTE has not confirmed anything regarding the availability and the pricing of the ZTE Axon 20 4G. However, the main highlight of this phone will be the same under-display selfie camera.

The ZTE Axon 20 4G is powered by a Unisoc Tiger T618 chipset. But its connectivity will be limited to the fourth generation (4G). As per ZTE, there will be no changes at all in terms of the rear camera module or the under-display selfie camera module. So, the ultimate highlight remains the same.

Due to the pandemic, digital content platforms have seen a rise in their popularity and usage. Education has seen drastic changes, and every field in education has been to online teaching platforms. Considering the popularity of online teaching, the Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. is the lead investor in funding the online education startup Udemy. The value of the company has been raised to more than $3 billion.

According to sources, on Wednesday, Udemy raised $50 million in a funding round, and its value reached $3.25 billion. It was all before the Chinese tech giant’s investment, and Udemy still didn’t disclose how much Tencent has invested.

The move by Tencent is nothing to be surprised at. The tech giant is known to make considerable investments in startups inside china as well as outside the country. It has a range of U.S. investments, including in companies like Epic Games Inc. and Reddit Inc. even companies like Warner Music Group Corp. and Activision Blizzard Inc. has also received investments from the Chinese tech giant.

Tencent is best to know for its social media platform WeChat, but it has been ban by the U.S. government due to the trade dispute between the U.S. and China. But unlike Huawei and ByteDance, the company has not yet taken any severe damage from the conflict. Online learning is one of the hot topics of 2020, and with Tencent investing in Udemy makes one thing clear that; tech industries have shifted their focus towards online learning platform and is ready to eat a piece of its pie.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is one of the most successful games ever produced by Sony. Last year Sony reported that the game had sold over 13 million units, which was really astonishing. But the recent achievement by peter parker has put even his previous records to shame. Recently it’s announced that Marvel’s Spider-Man has sold over 20 million units as of now.

It is a pretty significant figure because this is Sony’s only second game to reach this mark. The first one being Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us. While it is true that the game has crossed the 20 million mark but exactly how much more it has crossed is still unknown. But considering that the game has accumulated over 30 million players, it’s easy to understand the game hitting the 20 million mark.

Pep Guardiola ends speculation over future by extending Manchester City contract until summer of 2023

0

While the football world was busy wondering as to where Pep Guardiola’s next destination could be, the Catalan head coach has put pen to paper and signed on to remain at the club until the 2023 season end. With this extension, Pep will officially have prolonged his stay at a single club with him set to manage Manchester City for a totality of seven seasons.

No one would have been displeased with the decision to retain one of the world’s best managers and end the unnecessary speculation and uncertain future. The City board were understandably happy, with club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak speaking out on behalf of the club’s fans as to their excitement of continuing to see Pep lead the team to further domestic and quite soon, European glory as well.

Pep was himself pleased with having the opportunity to mould the squad and refresh new tactical ideas and systems that could continue to see him attain success in English football primarily.

There have been recent question marks over his philosophy permeating to the City players and whether they were ‘exhausted’ over the way training and match tactics were being implemented otherwise.

Fans are expectant to see the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons’ form replicated, with the team winning back-to-back Premier League trophies in a dominant manner.

There is also talk of whether Pep’s extended stay at City, now opens the door to Barcelona and Argentine superstar Lionel Messi joining the club on a multi-year deal in the upcoming transfer windows.

Considering Barcelona are in a huge financial crisis and Messi openly disclosing his intention to leave the club owing to the board’s misdoings, this might well be a signal to bring in arguably the world’s best player to the Sky Blues. It then seems like it is set to be the start of a few good years under Pep for City fans.

Intel’s Core i7-11370H makes its appearance on Geekbench

0

The wait is finally over, and we yet to have the grand appearance of the Tiger Lake-H series on Geekbench. According to sources, Intel’s Core i7-11370H is a quad-core processor that comes with 12 MB of L3 cache plus 1.25 MB of L2 cache and 320 KB of combined L1 cache. The processor is a Hyper-Threaded processor with a base clock of 3.29 GHz and a boost clock of 4.79 GHz.

According to sources, intel’s Core i7-11370H has been manufactured on its Tiger Lake-U platform, which is highly unusual. But the processor is named Core i7-11370H, which should imply that it is based on the Tiger Lake-H platform. Intel, you have confused us. Due to this, many conspiracy theories are going on around the internet. One of them states that the Core i7-11370H is Intel’s 35 W Tiger Lake-H series processor. If it is accurate, the Core i7-11370H will be Intel’s equivalent to AMD’s HS-series of 35 W APUs.

However, the Core i7-11370H has scored 1,420 points in Geekbench single-core tests and 4,964 in its multi-core benchmark. The results are not a joke and prove that intel’s Core i7-11370H is a serious powerhouse. The scores put intel’s Core i7-11370H 17% ahead of its Core i5-10300H, especially in the multi-core benchmark. The benchmark score of Core i7-11370H is beyond anything the Comet Lake-H processor can achieve. The multi-core score of the Core i7-11370H is still within a margin of error with the Ryzen 7 4700U and is still lacking behind the Ryzen 5 4600H.

The Tiger Lake-H platform is indeed the next-gen processor line-up from intel. It may be leagues ahead of its predecessors, but it is still lagging behind AMD’s powerhouse processors. Whether AMD’s Zen 3 architecture is superior to intel’s Tiger Lake architecture or its merely specs matter is still unknown. But one thing is sure that intel needs to pick up its pace to hold its dominance in the market.
