Yuvraj Singh writes a letter to BCCI president Sourav Ganguly wanting to make a comeback from retirement

0

Yuvraj Singh announced his retirement from both international and domestic cricket last year. He last played for India in 2017.

But former World Cup-winning all-rounder has decided to come out of retirement to keep the request of the Punjab Cricket Association [PCA].

PCA secretary Puneet Bali approached Yuvi to come out of retirement for the benefit of Punjab cricket. Yuvraj is considering a return to cricket for his state at least in T-20 format.

In an interview with Cricbuzz Yuvi said, “Initially, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to take up the offer. I was done with domestic cricket, though I did want to continue to play in other domestic franchise-based leagues worldwide if I got permission from the BCCI. But I also couldn’t ignore Mr. Bali’s request. I gave it a lot of thought, for nearly three or four weeks, and it was almost as if I didn’t even have to make a conscious decision in the end.”

Yuvraj was recently working with Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Prabh Simran Singh, and Anmolpreet Singh in the last few days. While mentoring them in the net Yuvi found his playing spirit back again as well. PCA also wants him in the team for one more year. They think Yuvraj’s experience is highly needed in the team. It will eventually help all the other young players to shine more.

“I know he has written a letter to BCCI president Sourav Ganguly wanting to come out of retirement. We want him in the team and the way he mentored four young boys Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Prabh Simran Singh, and Anmolpreet Singh was exceptional. I told him that please give at least one more year of your life to Punjab cricket.”, Bali said.

Yograj Singh, Yuvi’s father is also happy with the decision of his son. “He is a giver. In these times, in the scorching heat, he trained Shubman, Prabh and Abhishek for five hours each day. The way he hit sixes at the new PCA stadium in Mullanpur, everyone wanted him to come back. If he plays at least three years for Punjab, he will give back at two 2 world-class players to Indian cricket. So he must play.”, he said.

It’s a very good news for the Yuvi fans. His fans are waiting to see him back in the crease again.

Hope you know, Jio and Google recently partnered to develop high-quality entry-level and affordable 4G and 5G enabled smartphones. Needless to say, all these will run on Android OS.

Google joins hand with Jio platforms with ₹ 33,737 crores of investment

An analyst told ET that the jointly developed products can shake up the Indian smartphone market and challenge the dominance of Chinese brands that control over 80% of the market.

While partnering with Jio, Google pours $4.5 billion earlier. Along with Google, let you know, the US-based chipset designer Qualcomm also invested Rs.730 crore to Jio in return of 0.15% stake. That clearly indicates it is also working with Jio closely. So, we can also expect the upcoming 4G and 5G smartphone by Jio will be powered by Qualcomm SoCs.

TSMC will start manufacturing 5nm Apple SoCs in Q4 2020

0

The Taiwanese semiconductor foundry who is the leader in making silicon wafers for huge companies like Apple, AMD, MediaTek, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA, has finally shred some light on manufacturing of its much anticipated 5nm SoCs, thanks to DigiTimes. One of its biggest customer, Apple, is scheduled to launch its iPhone 12 series with the latest 5nm based Apple A14 chip built on TSMC’s wafers.

Not only will the iPhone 12 series but also all of their upcoming products like Apple MacBook Air, Pro 13-inch, iPad, and others will use the same chip built by TSMC. So, TSMC has a lot of work. So, it is set to start mass production of Apple Silicon in the Q4 of 2020, along with a monthly capacity of 5,000 to 6,000 wafers based on the new 5nm process node.

Apple is completely changing its entire game with its own chips that are said to be way faster than Intel’s at lower prices, so if you are an Apple fan, do wait before you buy an Intel-powered Mac. Both the Apple A14 Bionic and A14X chips are said to be way more powerful than last gen’s A13 that was already advanced than most other SoCs in the market.

It’s a challenge for the Cupertino giant to deliver better performance than Intel CPUs on its Mac devices that will slowly and steadily be replaced by all of its own chips in the days to come. Apple wants to build its own ecosystem of devices powered by its own SoCs built on the ARM platform running on its native OS to bring the best out of the hardware that they provide.

LaLiga 2020-21 season preview: Will Real Madrid make it 35?

0

The defending champions definitely come across as the most in-form side in the Spanish top flight. Zinedine Zidane has completely transformed the way Los Blancos dictate their matches with his display in the 19-20 season.

While Real struggled to deal with the absence of Ronaldo under Lopetegui and Solari, Zidane has been the one to finally make the team work without their best goal-getter of all time. Let’s take a look at how the 2020-21 season will look like for the reigning La Liga winners.

Key Players

  1. Karim Benzema
  2. Eden Hazard
  3. Toni Kroos
  4. Casemiro
  5. Sergio Ramos

Now, I’ll admit that it was difficult choosing the key players given the quality that Real have in every position. However, the top 5 I’ve finally decided on are some of the best footballers on the planet and can turn matches around single-handedly.

Although Eden Hazard has not been able to replicate his form at Chelsea at the Bernabeu, the first season is always a struggle when you’re in new surroundings. The 2020-21 campaign could be the season where Hazard shows the Spanish league exactly why he was the best player in the Premier League.

Winning Points

While it might be up for debate, Real’s biggest asset is a manager that likes to take it simple. When Zidane saw that Madrid were not the same offensive machine that they were in his previous stint at the club, he adapted to the strengths of the players.

In other words, he transformed Los Blancos into the best defensive side in the division. They conceded the least amount of goals en route to their 34th La Liga title, at just 25. Thibaut Courtois has finally found his feet at the club and the numbers prove it as well.

Challenges

Real Madrid’s biggest challenge lies in preparing for the future. Most of their best players are in their thirties. While it does mean that the side has a great amount of experience, the same faces will not be there for too long. The 2020-21 season must be a passing of the torch to the younger generation.

Young players like Ferland Mendy, Eder Militao, Martin Odegaard, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. must show their best on the pitch. In addition, they must prove to the fans that they can deliver under pressure and that they have what it takes to be the best side in Europe.

Transfer Activity

As confirmed by President Florentino Perez, there will be no marquee signings in this transfer window. And in all honesty, Real don’t even need any this season.

While they have managed to sell James Rodriguez, Achraf Hakimi and Oscar Rodriguez they have also managed to send out the starlets to get some minutes under their belt. Cases in point: Brahim Diaz to AC Milan, Reinier Jesus to Borussia Dortmund and Takefusa Kubo to Villareal.

Credits: Real Madrid twitter

The only player in is Martin Odegaard, who impressed in his loan spell at Real Sociedad last season.

The only thing that they should be concerned about is their millionaire benchwarmer: Gareth Bale.

Now that is not to say that he is a bad player, quite the opposite actually. It is obvious that he doesn’t get along well with Zidane. In addition, he doesn’t want to stay at Real either as he has made it obvious in a recent interview.

The club would be wise to offload the Welshman for good this summer, after blocking his exit last season. Bale can be one of the best when he truly wants to be, and he isn’t in the mood for it at Real.

Read: Real Madrid are looking to sell these 8 players in 2020

Predicted finish: 1st

Although the challenges that Real face are not as daunting as a complete rebuild, they have enough quality to make it 35 this season. Zidane must give some thought to the future of the club during this campaign as well.

All in all, no other side in La Liga has the quality to compete with the extremely balanced Real Madrid that we are looking at right now. However, you can never truly tell in football.

MediaTek will use a 6nm processor for Chromebooks in 2021

0

Due to Covid-19, work from home and remote teaching has become the latest norm. With remote teaching opportunities exploding, Chromebooks have seen a surge in demand, especially in the SEA market.

Though Chromebooks are usually equipped with entry-level exponents, hence, they have fewer production costs. But recently many OEMs have been trying to manufacture premium Chromebooks and are trying to beef up their specs.

The beefing up of specs does increase the production costs of the Chromebooks. In order to combat this problem, MediaTek has taken the initiative in its hands. They plan to do so by releasing faster Chromebooks processors that are inexpensive to produce.

Mediatek in its latest announcement has stated that it will continue to further develop patents and hardware. The company terms the year 2020 as a bumper harvest for the Chromebook business.

At the latest Taiwan Education Digital Transformation conference which was attended by Quanta, Acer, MediaTek, and Google Taiwan, the senior vice president of MediaTek announced that it will continue to improve all of its Chromebook-related IP. This will help create more in-expensive Chromebooks in order to support the increasing demand, for the year 2021 and beyond.

Therefore, MediaTek’s cooperation with Acer, Quanta, and Google is a hope to leverage Taiwan’s solid foundation in the global IT industry.

What changes can be expected

Mediatek used a 28-nanometer 8173 processor its first-ever Chromebook, four years ago. But now MediaTek has announced that it will utilize TSMC’s 6nm 8195 processor in its Chromebooks which will be launched in 2021.


Unfortunately, MediaTek’s senior vice president did never tell us the exact specs for the new 6 nm SoC, however, he did mention that it will include powerful AI features. Reports suggest that the latest SoC will also be integrated with Wi-Fi 6 and 5G connectivity to meet the demands for fast video streaming and video conferencing.

MediaTek said it will continue to deploy the Chromebook market in the future, especially under the impact of the epidemic. The Internet demand created by the home office, remote teaching, and the rise in demand for online teaching, this step by MediaTek is a great strategy to boost its industry SEA market.

What can you expect from Apple’s event on 15th September?

0

Yesterday Apple announced a “Time Flies” event that is scheduled on 15th September at 10:00 AM PDT (10:00 PM IST). Though its the time for the launch of the new iPhone lineup, the global pandemic forced to make 2020 an exception. Well, if you are an iPhone fan or have an interest in it, and wondering what Apple has to present us on this exceptional September 15th, here are all your answers.

What exactly this event is?

Hope you know that Apple, every year organized an event to showcase the new iPhone lineup. Maintaining the tradition, the Cupertino giant announced an Apple Event this year too, named Time Flies, but with some changes. This event will be held on 15th September, as I said earlier, at 10:00 AM PDT (10:00 PM IST). The whole program will be online and will be live on apple.com. As per Komiya, a famous tipster, the event will be of an hour, max can run for up to an hour and a quarter.

The products that will be showcased

From the very beginning of the event name announcement, experts were saying that this event is not for the iPhone 12 lineup launch, rather the company is going to focus on the Apple Watch. The reason is the event branding and later, leaks confirmed that too. On that day, rather than the iPhone 12 lineup, the company will showcase the next iPad Air model, Apple Watch Series 6, and AirTag.

Other discussions

There could be some bonus announcements too. To be specific, two more announcements will be there, atleast the leaks are indicating that.

  • Apple A14 Bionic chip explanation

There is a high possibility that Apple will explain its more powerful and efficient A14 Bionic chip in the ‘Time Flies’ event. There is already some news available in the market saying its CPU will be 40% than the earlier A13, and in the case of GPU, A14 will come with 50% efficiency. though. Here are the details in depth.

  • Announcement of the next event

As new iPhones are not coming in this event, Apple surely will arrange another one for it. So, that can also be announced on 15th September.

Excitement is at its peak and will go up further as the date comes forward. Prepare for that to get the first official look.

Moto Razr 2020 diagram leaked, looks exactly how we expected

0

Moto is expected to launch the Moto Razr model as the renders of this phone are leaked by a reliable leakster @evleaks. The leaked model of the phone is likely from the AT&T branded phone user manual. The leaked image also revealed that the phone is a flip phone with a quick view display.

The renders do not reveal any such key specifications, however, the phone will be launched officially on 9th September, till then we have to wait for the authentic information about the specifications.

Moto Razr 2020 expected model

The phone is expected to have a screen size between 6.2″ to 6.7″ with a multitouch screen. The phone key is shown on the upper left side of the phone and the volume button on the upper right portion of the phone. The fingerprint sensor is on the backside of the phone with the Moto batwing logo and also there’s a USB-Type C port is placed at the bottom of the phone.

The phone may be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G chipset paired with 8GB RAM and support of 256GB of internal storage. The phone will feature a single 48MP camera on the backside of the phone, and a 20MP front camera in the notch at top of the display. The speaker of the phone is placed beside the front camera, which is quite strange though.

The renders also show the phone in silver color and the phone is supported by a 5G network. While there’s no exact report about the battery capacity and the charging speed of the phone, but we have to wait a little more for the internal specifications of this upcoming handset until the official launch happens.
