Fantasy Akhada witnessed a surge of 150% in the number of users during IPL 2020

New Delhi, 12th November 2020: The burgeoning online fantasy gaming platform, Fantasy Akhada, announced that it has witnessed over 150% surge in user concurrency recently at the end of a successful IPL 2020.

As the IPL frenzy took over the entire country, fans and sports enthusiasts stayed glued to their television sets. However, it wasn’t just the tournament which had everybody hooked; majority of the viewers were even fixated on their smartphones as they took part and played on several fantasy gaming platforms like Fantasy Akhada.

In the first year of its establishment, online fantasy gaming platform – Fantasy Akhada carved a niche for itself during the pandemic-induced lockdown and emerged as a preferred choice for many fantasy sports players as people were locked up inside their homes and craved entertainment. The fantasy gaming platform provided amazing virtual gaming experience to all, where people could not only use their knowledge and skills of selection to win big but also enjoyed 24*7 customer care and personalised experience on the platform’s helpdesk. The growing popularity has had a favourable impact on the brand’s reputation and even resulted in an exponential rise in registrations and traction on its website and APK downloads.

Mr. Amit Purohit, Founder, Fantasy Akhada shares his views on the spike in userbase and said, “The commencement of IPL 2020 successfully revived the fantasy gaming segment in India completely. Our platform has been gaining traction of gamers and sports enthusiasts ever since the launch. We have seen a massive surge in all our key metrics during IPL 2020 and have grown our user base by 150%. Our active user base who play cash contests on our platform has also gone up by 3x. Additionally, the number of deposit transactions in a day grew by 103% on our platform over the last 2 months, which saw a huge jump in our top line. I am sure other platforms in the industry must be witnessing great growth numbers during this IPL season”.

“The only difference that I realised this year was that people played from the comfort of their homes and couldn’t cheer for their favourite players in the cricket stadiums. Everything else, right from remaining fixed to television sets to punching into mobile phones to participate in fantasy gaming platforms, remained the same.”– He added.

To make the IPL experience bigger and better for Fantasy Sports Players and Youtubers/Telegram Channel Owners, Fantasy Akhada had also announced cash prizes in Lakhs and a priceless meet and greet opportunity with Harsha Bhogle for the best performing players/tips channel owners. Mr. Narendra Chouhan, Mr. Prasad Vaity and Mr. Ankit Choudhary emerged as the winners for the Tournament Leaderboard while Mr. Rakshit Chopra, owner of Fantasy Scout 11, emerged as the winner of the Best Pehelwaan Award during IPL 2020.

Voice of Indian Cricket, the legendary Harsha Bhogle, was also onboarded by Fantasy Akhada in September, a development that the brand leveraged for creating buzz prior to the beginning of IPL season. This further helped them in securing good traction in the run-up to the IPL with a 10% daily increase in the userbase.  Along with being an investor in the brand, Harsha Bhogle will also continue to be its ambassador for the next 2 years. With this move, he cements his confidence and commitment towards the brand.

Apple reportedly testing its new iPad Mini 6

Apple has launched and upgraded a lot of its devices this year. With the launch of its new iPhone 12 5G and the advent of ARM-based MacBook devices, it seems that Apple is in the mood for revamping its whole device list. However, the iPad mini is one such device that still didn’t receive any refresh.

The mini was launched in 2012, and new models were launched every autumn until 2015, with the iPad mini four being the last of the major release. However, the company then launched the iPad mini 5 in march 2019, taking an extended break in its annual release cycle.

According to sources, Apple is currently testing its new and upcoming iPad mini 6. Not only that, but the company is also upgrading its iPad mini 5. The news was first brought forth by an alleged leaker @000leaker. The leaker also suggests that there may be other prototypes, so the final iPad mini six could differ slightly from those displayed in the prototype.

Sources claim claims that the iPad mini six will have an 8.5-inch Liquid Retina display. Along with that, the display will also come in a ‘boxy design.’ It will be powered by the A14 Bionic chipset and along with 4 GB of RAM. The mini-tablet will also support the Apple Pencil 2 too and will have a USB Type-C port.

The specifications sound cool, and it seems that the iPhone maker has taken away the hardware from iPad Air 4 and is putting it inside the iPad mini 6. The iPad mini six will supposedly have the same cameras as the iPad Air 2 too. However, sources claim that the speaker’s hardware is still the same as the iPad mini 5. As of now, there is no release date for the upcoming device. Neither does have the cost details. All we can do is wait for an official confirmation from Apple.

Apple’s upcoming Mac devices will support all apps across its devices but not now

We have already seen apple launching new devices this year. Many of the already existing tools have gotten a refresh this year with new and cutting-edge hardware. However, the next big hardware event of apple, which is already taking place, is expected to bring even more devices on the table. The company is expected to announce the most significant change to its Mac hardware.

Today’s event is thought to be the starting point for the next major macOS release. The company earlier announced its macOS Big Sur (macOS 11) in June at WWDC 2020. According to sources, the macOS Big Sur will support iOS and iPadOS apps, a first for macOS.

The apps will be available from the Mac App Store instead of being ported from the iOS and iPad App Store’s. Sources claim that all iOS and iPadOS apps will be automatically displayed in the Mac App Store, although it will be up to developers if they want their apps shown.

However, sources also claim that many prominent developers have decided against doing so for the time being. Amazon, Google, and Facebook have all decided to wait for some time before launching their apps on the new device. Therefore, apps like Amazon Prime Video, Google Maps, Google Drive, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and WhatsApp will be capable of running on ARM Macs but not anytime soon.

But, digital streaming services like Netflix will be there as well as HBO Max. Mac users will, however, be getting the web versions of most of these apps. Hence it won’t be that great of a loss.

FC Barcelona want €10 million back from Neymar which was paid due to a tax miscalculation

Brazilian superstar Neymar left FC Barcelona in 2017 and joined Paris Saint Germain for a world-record transfer fee. But there were multiple issues between the Spanish Club and the Brazilian, which are going on since then.

In a recent report of El Mundo, FC Barcelona has overpaid Neymar €10 million due to a tax miscalculation. The report completely shows the mistake of the Catalan club and they now want their money back.

The Spanish Club won a court case against Neymar in June following a bonus dispute. After the verdict, Neymar had to pay €6.7 million to the Catalan club. It was a verdict about a case filed by Neymar against the Catalan club as the Brazilian claimed an unpaid bonus of €43m following the last contract he signed with the club in 2016.

FC Barcelona is now struggling with its financial issues. As per a report by Diario Sport, FC Barcelona needs to save almost €300 million to avoid a financial crisis. FC Barcelona board is now searching for solutions for this situation.

FC Barcelona has sold Luis Suarez, Arturo Vidal, Arthur Melo, Rafinha Alcantara, and Nelson Semedo last summer. But that was not enough. They still need to make up for the deficiency.

It was first expected that FC Barcelona will manage the situation by a pay cut from all the players, staff, and members’ salary. But FC Barcelona’s interim board president Carlos Tusquets said, “We do not want to take money from anyone.”

The Neymar dispute is surely a part of re-check of old financial reports as Barcelona are looking into their accounts to see how this type of situation has arrived at Camp Nou.

Nvidia to launch RTX 3080 Ti in January 2021

We already know that Nvidia’s next-generation RTX 3080 Ti will be launched soon. But there has been no official confirmation regarding the launch date of the graphics card. According to sources, HKEPC claims that Nvidia plans to release its RTX 3080 Ti card in January 2021. The news, however, is not confirmed by Nvidia.

The graphics maker has already released the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 for US$699 and US$1,499, respectively. The RTX 3080 Ti is expected to be between the two cards and will come at a price of around US$999. The card’s price is just right and will Nvidia a chance to combat AMD in the price segment. AMD unveiled its latest entry into the graphics market, the RX 6900 XT, for US$999. The company even claims that the 6900 XT can easily compete with the RTX 3900.

According to sources, Nvidia’s information launching the new card in January 20201 comes from a Taiwanese board factory. Sources also confirmed that an RTX 3080 Ti SKU (PG133 SKU 15) exists and has been included on NVIDIA’s most-recent roadmap. These roadmaps seemingly change regularly, and we have already seen this with the cancellation of RTX 3080 20 GB, and RTX 3070 16 GB SKUs suggests.

Further information claims that NVIDIA will base the RTX 3080 Ti on the GA102-250-KD-A1 GPU. The GPU contains 10,496 CUDA cores, the same as the RTX 3090. However, sources claim that the card will operate on 20 GB of GDDR6X VRAM with a 320-bit memory bus.

The RTX 3080 Ti will also have a 320 W TGP, making it 30 W less power-hungry than the RTX 3090. Sources also claim that NVIDIA will not include its NVLINK connector on the RTX 3080 Ti. However, all of these are rumours and should be taken with a pinch of salt. As to whether Nvidia will release its GPU in January 2021 remains to be seen.

Nvidia’s RTX 3050 to come with GA107 GPU

There are a lot of leaks and rumors going on around about Nvidia’s upcoming graphics card lineups. We now know a lot of details regarding the new cards. However, many things pop up on the internet that can surprise us by a lot.

According to sources, both the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 and RTX 3050 Ti will use the GA106 GPU. But its upcoming video card for budget users, namely the non-Ti RTX 3050, will use a different core. However, it is all rumours and leaks, and it should be taken with a pinch of salt. Nvidia has still neither confirmed nor denied these rumours.

The RTX 3050 is expected to be the slowest and the most affordable video card to join the RTX 30 lineup. According to sources, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 is expected to feature the GA107-300 GPU with 2,304 CUDA cores and a TGP value of 90 Watt. Sources also claim that the card will probably feature 4 GB of 128-bit GDDR6 memory. We already know that cards based on the XX107 GPUs usually come with a 128-bit memory bus.

NVIDIA’s new RTX 30 series products have a lot of processors waiting for in the lineup. According to sources, the GPUs to soon enter the market includes the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which will be launched in early December. Also, the RTX 3050 Ti and non-Ti RTX 3060 are expected to show up in January 2021, while the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti might be launched in February 2021.

AMD, the company’s biggest competitor, is expected to launch the Navi 21 and Navi 22 product lineups. The first ones being the Navi 22-based Radeon RX 6700 series, which will hit the market in early 2021. It seems that the first quarter of 2021 will bring out the ugly side of the semiconductor wars.

New Apple M1 chip on a MacBook Air beats Core i9 16-inch MacBook Pro in Geekbench

Apple has made some really bold claims with their new M1 chip and touted it to be the world’s fastest chip, now, it did not exactly say which chip it was comparing against but its claims seem to be genuine after the leaked Geekbench scores.

The Cupertino giant ditched Intel for its own ARM-based SoC for new Macs and with the help of 5nm process they’ve built an incredible low-power consuming chip with incredible performance.

  • Apple M1 chip: The fastest chip made by Apple, ever!

As we all know the MacBook Air will have no fans this time and so the new M1 chip on this laptop will passively be cooled, however, Apple never really stopped bragging about the new MacBook Air’s performance. Now, as pointed out by Notebookcheck, a new Geekbench 5 listing for the M1 MacBook Air says the new Apple Silicon is faster than an 8-core Intel Core i9-9880H found on a 16-inch MacBook Pro.

It seems the graphs that Apple was showing was indeed correct as it promised 2x more performance with just 1/2 the power as that of other laptop chips. The CPU performance per Watt is claimed to be the best in the market, thanks to the ARM architecture on a 5nm process, you are getting insane performance at just 10W TDP.

New Apple M1 chip on a MacBook Air beats Core i9 16-inch MacBook Pro in Geekbench

As per the Geekbench listing, the new MacBook Air runs macOS 11.0.1, using an Apple Silicon processor. So, the passively cooled laptop scored an impressive 1687 and 7433 points in the single and multi-core tests respectively.

Now, if this is compared with a Core i9-9880H running on a 16-inch MacBook Pro, the Intel CPU is 35% worse in Geekbench 5’s single-core test, whereas, about 15% worse in the multi-core test. The average scores for a Core i9 CPU on a 16-inch MacBook Pro are around 1100 for single-core and 6000-6500 for multi-core. 

  • Apple M1 chip: The fastest chip made by Apple, ever!
  • Apple M1 chip: The fastest chip made by Apple, ever!

This kind of performance at low TDPs is absolutely unimaginable and that too this is the first chip from Apple. Why? Because the Apple M1 chip on a MacBook Air has no cooling whereas the Core i9-9880H running on a 16-inch MacBook Pro does have a great cooling system and takes more TDP (45W) than the M1 chip.

As per the Geekbench listing, the M1 chip has a base clock speed of 3.2 GHz, whereas a Core i9-9880H, has a base clock of just 2.3 GHz. Well, Apple has used a big.LITTLE architecture of ARM and still all the specs of the chip has not been revealed yet, so, if however, the Geekbench scores come out to be true then we do really need to give Apple the credit of making the M1 chip.
