Minecraft is now officially RTX On, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 is Imminent!

Apart from announcing 4 new games to the NVIDIA DLSS support list, the company has also declared that Minecraft will be available to play in RTX for Windows 10 moves from beta to an official release. 

Minecraft with RTX supports NVIDIA DLSS, along with path tracing, meaning all the lighting in the game is ray traced. Minecraft with RTX players will see everything enhanced with a special Physically Based Rendering texture pack in supported worlds, which interplays with the ray-traced effects to enhance the experience further. Turning on DLSS can more than double your frame rate!

To celebrate Minecraft’s release with RTX, NVIDIA is releasing 2 new worlds, bringing the total number of official RTX worlds for Minecraft to 15. Colosseum world is available now, and Dungeon Dash will be coming soon. 

However, another much-hyped game is Cyberpunk 2077, which will also get support for DLSS and ray tracing, making the gaming even more beautiful. It is loaded with tech, including ray-traced shadows, reflections, diffuse illumination, global illumination, and ambient occlusion, along with NVIDIA DLSS.

Ray tracing enables visually next-generation graphics, which make Cyberpunk 2077 look and feel more cinematic and immersive. Sunlight shadows, global illumination, sky lighting, emissive surfaces, and reflections all look strikingly realistic. And DLSS is a must-have feature to play with ray tracing, boosting frame rates while delivering beautiful, crisp image quality.

With realistic shadows and lighting and the added performance of NVIDIA DLSS, no other platform will compare to the Cyberpunk 2077 experience on a GeForce RTX-powered PC.

Xiaomi and Redmi to launch two flagship smartphones, powered by the latest Snapdragon 888 chipset

Renowned semiconductor chip maker company Qualcomm has unveiled its latest Snapdragon 888 next-gen flagship chipset during the 2020 edition of the Snapdragon Summit of this year. However, Lei Jun (CEO of Xiaomi) has revealed that the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 11 is going to the first smartphone in the globe to launch with the SD 888 chipset. Now, if we put some light on the relationship between Xiaomi and Redmi, we find that both of them have always very keen to launch smartphones with the latest chipsets. The same thing we have seen at the time of the SD 865 chipset and now, at the time of SD 888, we can expect that alongside Xiaomi, Redmi will also launch a flagship smartphone powered by the SD 888 chipset. So, in 2021, we can expect two flagship smartphones from Xiaomi and Redmi powered by the latest SD 888 chipset.

As of now, we’ve only got the news about the upcoming flagship series. But we don’t know how many smartphones will be there in each series whether it is from Xiaomi or Redmi. Let’s consider the Mi 11 series. If Mi 11 is powered by the SD 888 chipset and this series will have two models, then from Xiaomi, we will be going to get two smartphones powered by the latest chipset. The same thing went for the Redmi K series that came with K20, K20 Pro in 2019.

In terms of the Mi 11 series, the main highlight of this series could be the 108MP primary camera sensor. In terms of the Redmi flagships, the company has not revealed much about this. But as per the hype, we can expect an AMOLED display with a faster refresh rate of 90Hz or 120Hz and faster memory(LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 2.1 storage). On the other hand, the Mi 11 is more likely to have a 2K(QHD+) screen.

Google-Apple gets green light to deploy their COVID Exposure App in their home-town

Due to the ongoing pandemic, our dependency on tech devices has increased tremendously. With all this, it is not a secret that we depend on our devices even when monitoring our health. A few weeks back, we heard that Google and Apple collaborated to produce the COVID contact tracing app.

According to sources, after testing the feature on University campuses, the tech giants are finally ready to launch the service in their home-town of California. The app will reportedly go live on December 10th. Initially, the app was launched in Virginia in August, so we can say that it took Google and Apple quite some time to release the tech in their neighborhood.

The developers had added the contact tracing API to iOS and Android back in May. And the app is built around to utilize the API. The service’s minimum requirements are that it requires an iPhone with iOS 14.2 or a phone running Android 6.0 or above with Bluetooth Low Energy. The app’s working is simple; the user’s phone will automatically exchange a private key with another phone if they’re within Bluetooth range.

A gentle reminder the key doesn’t contain the location or personal information of the user. If a person is positive, they can send a notification to every other person using the app. Then the app notifies every user of the app around the sender. It merely means that you have been exposed to the tested positive person, and you should get tested and quarantined.

As mentioned above, California’s state will get the CA Notify app from December 10th, and the citizens can download it from Google Play Store. For iOS users, however, there is a guide provided by the California state administration. Users have to go to the Settings app then to Exposure Notifications. They then have to tap “Turn on Exposure Notifications,” they will then select California as the region and turn on the tracing.

AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su wins Fortune’s Businessperson of the Year 2020

AMD has changed or says transformed the stagnant PC industry with Ryzen processors, back from 2017. Since then their journey never ended and now in 2020, they have become the gaming champion with the Ryzen 5000 series of processors.

Not only for CPUs but also their discrete graphics card, they are now getting more praise than before and being adopted for business uses. AMD’s server business has skyrocketed from last year with their EPYC processors and Radeon Instinct GPUs.

AMD was the first to bring the concept of APUs and create great gaming SoCs that have today laid the foundation for the next-gen consoles. Also, their revolutionary Ryzen APUs have done quite well in the mobile lineup as well. Together, with so much to offer, AMD has indeed surprised every analyst this year, making record revenues each quarter.

Obviously, this wouldn’t be possible if the company would not be led by Dr. Lisa Su, who took the CEO position when it was sunk with debt in 2014. In recent years AMD has transformed the silicon industry and changed its fortune with a strong roadmap, and its gaining trust from various OEMs for its strong commitment.

Indeed, Dr. Lisa Su deserves praise for such leadership that has changed the company’s luck forever! Rightfully, she has been awarded Fortune’s Businessperson of the Year 2020, and kudos to her from team TechnoSports.

LG to take a new approach to outsource lower-end smartphones to cut costs

LG to take a new approach to outsource lower-end smartphones to cut costs

LG, the South Korean multinational electronics company, has decided to bring a major change in its smartphone division. The reports flowing in suggests that they are ready to outsource lower-to-mid end smartphones. They are doing this reorganization to increase its efficiency and drive up the sales number which is really struggling for some years now. In fact, LG has reported operating losses reported for 22 consecutive quarters. That means, for the past five years, the company has failed to register an operating profit.

This downward trend has forced the management to wear their thinking caps and look for a new direction which has led them to the choice of Original Design Manufacturer (ODM). LG has a strong mobile division in the early 2010s. They were ranked No. 3 in the global smartphone market by Strategy Analytics in 2013. But it went downhill since 2015. Why? All due to the Chinese manufacturers who flood the market with their cheaper and effective handsets.

LG will be raising the smartphone production in India by 15 times

Chinese companies like Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo took over the market by engaging in the price war. They underwent several marketing strategies to change people’s perception of Chinese mobiles. Earlier, people use to consider Chinese brands as someone who offers unreliable products. Now in 2020, it is they who are ruling the markets worldwide.

LG is planning to outsource the design and manufacture and sell the handsets under its brand name. Due to this, they have jettisoned some of its research and production members. They are also trying to fit other members according to the new business models. LG will use this new direction in their low-end and mid-end smartphones but will still rely on in-house research & development and production in their high-end smartphones. 

Outsourcing will help them to reduce the cost and bring more efficiency. But, will that be enough? Can they ace the market with this new direction?

Activision lodging an appeal with lawsuits against Netflix for plundering executives

Activision, the COD publisher, is taking Netflix to court, claiming illegal and unethical behavior of the video streaming company for plundering executives. The former Activision CFO, Spencer Neumann, joined Netflix as the top finance executive after leaving the gaming company in 2018.

Activision said in the lawsuit, “Netflix unapologetically recruits talent without regard to its ethical and legal obligations. To shape its workforce to its desires, Netflix not only ruthlessly fires its own employees that it deems ‘adequate,’ but is engaged in a years-long campaign of unlawfully poaching executives from Netflix’s competitors regardless of their contractual obligations.”

Seeing Netflix’s actions, Activision has claimed that Netflix is overlooking California law, also the Labor Code. According to Activision, the video streaming company “knowingly induced Neumann to breach his employment contract with Activision.”

Activision said, “Making matters worse, Netflix engaged in its tortious conduct when Activision–with Neumann’s assistance–was negotiating with Netflix over a commercial partnership to distribute Activision’s linear media content. Netflix then proceeded to induce Neumann to breach his fiduciary obligations to Activision, thereby obtaining yet another an unfair and unethical advantage over Activision, one of Netflix’s competitors.”

The gaming company stated that the behavior with their executive was not an isolated occasion with adding, “Netflix has a demonstrated pattern of caring only about attracting and employing whoever Netflix wants, regardless of whether it violates the law along the way.”

Activision is finding a permanent solution for this Netflix issue with a warning, and the gaming company now wants to be paid compensatory damages, consequential damages, and punitive damages.

Finally it’s Ronaldo vs Messi time again!

When the Champions League groups draw was made, everyone was excited to see Barcelona and Juventus in the same group as this would mean the whole world can once again please their eyes by seeing Messi and Ronaldo on the same pitch again after 2 years.

Seeing Ronaldo and Messi on the same pitch had became a habit in the last decade as Ronaldo played for Real Madrid. But after he moved to Juventus in 2018, the duo hasn’t meet since then. Ronaldo has missed the first group fixture as well but he is now fit to take the field against Messi’s Barcelona at Camp Nou tonight.

Literally, the whole world will stop tonight at 1:30 am IST (9th December) to watch the reunion between two of the greatest players of football.

The debate about who’s better between Messi and Ronaldo will go on but the reality is it may be the last time we see the two GOATs on the same pitch tonight.

Here’s how twitter reacted to the Ronaldo and Messi reunion:
