AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors make new sales record

0

The Red team made its revolutionary Ryzen 5000 series processors based on Zen 3 architecture available on November 5 and since then it seems the company is not stopping yet. The sales of these CPUs seems to be amazing as per the retailers from various countries.

As pointed out by Techradar, as soon as these processors went live, they were all sold out, while some retailers out there have ended up breaking sales records as well.

As per Scan, a UK retailer, “Demand was extremely high and the launch stock we had sold through extremely quickly making it the fastest selling CPU launch we have ever seen,” and that this was “echoed across all of the launch retailers.”

As pointed out by Hassan Mujtaba from Wccftech, even the major German outlet Mindfactory have seen huge response from fans – thousands of CPU have been sold in an instant and inventory exhausted in 2 hours!! This kind of sales is quite expected when you provide great leap in gaming as well as multi-threaded workloads in a single generational uplift.

Even those who have never opted for AMD because of its gaming performance will now opt for AMD as even the budget Ryzen 5 5600X gives a comparable gaming performance to that of Intel’s latest flagship Core i9-10900K. We only hope AMD does not screw up with the stocks, else this can be a great season for holiday shopppers.

There will be no iPhone SE in 1H 2021, probably in the second half

0

Earlier this year, Apple has introduced this second-gen model, named the iPhone SE. iPhone SE is nothing but an iPhone model that is comparatively cheaper and a mixture of specifications of the company’s older models. For example, the iPhone SE 2020 seems like it is the newer version of the older iPhone 8 as it borrows heavily from the iPhone 8. On the basis of the iPhone SE, Apple has launched the mini version of the iPhone 12.

But a recent report has come out which says that Apple will not bring any iPhone SE model in the first half of 2021. So, it will not be the same as what we’ve seen in the first quarter of 2020. As per the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, we should not expect a new iPhone SE any time soon. So there will be no second-generation iPhone SE in the 1H of 2021. In place of that, we can expect a third-generation iPhone SE model in the second half of 2021. But as of now, we have confirmation about that matter.

In terms of pricing, the 3rd Gen iPhone SE should carry a pocket-friendly price range as we’ve seen that the iPhone SE remains Apple’s cheapest iPhone at US$399. iPhone SE has become very popular because of its shape and size. The users feel that this is the perfect size to handle an iPhone and makes it pretty comfortable to use. As it will be a 3rd Gen iPhone SE, so we can definitely expect some major updates in both hardware and software of it. But it has no connection with the upcoming iPhone 13 series. Kuo states that Apple will launch its iPhone 13 series in the month of September 2021.

Google to stop offering free photo storage

0

It’s been five years since Google started offering its unlimited free photo backups at “high quality.” However, now Google Photos will begin charging for storage once more than 15 gigs on the account have been used.

The new change in policy will be in effect from June 1st, 2021, and it comes with other Google Drive policy changes like counting Google Workspace documents and spreadsheets against the same cap. Google has also introduced a new policy of deleting data from inactive accounts. If the version has not been logged in for at least two years, its data will be deleted.

According to sources, photos, and documents uploaded before June 1st will not count against that 15GB cap. Only images uploaded after June 1st will begin counting against the cap. However, google taking away unlimited backup for “high quality” photos and video also means taking away one of its service’s most significant selling points.

Sources also claim that the android maker will send alerts and warnings users begin to approach the storage cap. A new storage management tool has also been added to Google Photos. It includes a tool that makes it easier to find and delete photos like blurry images or screenshots.

The sudden change in Google policy is related to its Google One storage. The service offers a free VPN for Android at some of its higher tiers. Google’s stated that “Today, more than 4 trillion photos are stored in Google Photos, and every week 28 billion new photos and videos are uploaded.

Since so many of you rely on Google Photos to store your memories, it’s important that it’s not just a great product but also continues to meet your needs over the long haul. To welcome even more of your memories and build Google Photos for the future, we are changing our unlimited High-quality storage policy”.

Google One pricing starts at $1.99 / month for 100GB and has tiers going through 200GB ($2.99 / month), 2TB ($9.99 / month), and up to 30TB ($149.99 / month).

ISL 2020-21: FC Goa officially announces Strategic Partnership with Bundesliga club RB Leipzig

Every one of you must have heard of the Bundesliga club RB Leipzig after they put up a strong performance in the Champions League last season and reached the semi-finals for the very first time in history.

RB Leipzig has been one of the rising forces in German football in recent times after their formation in 2009. The club worked its way up the league structure and within a period of 7 years, secured promotion to the Bundesliga, top-tier of German football, by 2016.

Now, Indian Super League club FC Goa has officially announced a three-year strategic partnership with RB Leipzig. This will help garner opportunities both in the football and business spheres for the two clubs.

In this initial three-years of strategic partnership, RB Leipzig’s academy coaches will come to Goa to conduct workshops. FC Goa will, in turn, send their coaches and players to Leipzig’s academy in order to learn from them.

FC Goa President & co-owner, Akshay Tandon, said, “I am delighted to have RB Leipzig as our partners. They have shown the world of football how to build from the ground up and that’s something we resonate with. It is our first international partnership and in RB Leipzig, we have the perfect partner.

“Partnerships such as these validate our long-term vision that we have at the Club. Our goal is to develop Indian footballers for the world stage and this partnership helps us create a visible pathway for all young aspiring footballers in India. We have a long way to go, but these steps help build a strong foundation for the future. This is a partnership that gives me even more belief in the direction we are headed. “

Speaking on the partnership RB Leipzig CEO, Oliver Mintzlaff said, “We look forward to our partnership with FC Goa. The club, with its young, modern and innovative approach suits us perfectly. We want to break new ground with RB Leipzig and now we look to take our first steps internationally.

“The discussions with those responsible at FC Goa were very open, convincing and effective from the start. The emerging Indian market is therefore an absolutely suitable starting point for our future endeavours. And last but not least, such a partnership offers the opportunity to present the Bundesliga in the best possible way and to act as an ambassador.”

According to Marcus Mergulhao, RB Leipzig will also visit India with their senior team in the recent future. The current situation of the pandemic is causing problems for now but they will definitely come to India.

This is an exciting time for Indian football as many European clubs are partnering with ISL clubs which will eventually help in the growth of Indian football.

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

0

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

0

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.
