AMD Radeon RX 6000 GPU benchmarks blow away stock RTX 2080 Ti

0

The Red team’s Big Navi GPUs are one of the most anticipated GPUs from AMD and it will directly compete against NVIDIA’s mighty RTX 30 series GPUs. Already it has revamped the Radeon logo to show it is ready to hit NVIDIA with its price-to-performance ratio and bring its much-anticipated RDNA 2 architecture.

AMD is also enjoying to power the next-gen gaming consoles that will bring hardware-based Ray Tracing, so naturally, its upcoming GPUs will also support the feature as well. While NVIDIA is in hurry to sell its GPUs before the consoles arrive, AMD is taking its time to announce its GPUs on October 28th, prior to the availability of these consoles (scheduled for November).

Also, people were amazed at the fact that NVIDIA was selling the RTX 3070, which is said to be even more potent than the RTX 2080 Ti, for just $499. Some said that it was due to the new consoles, but it also because of AMD’s “Big Navi” that is said to be an even more improved card than its past RDNA based Navi GPUs.

The new leak from both @_rogame and @TUM_APISAK suggests the performance difference based on the Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation benchmark. In both of them mostly we see the RTX 2080 Ti crunching big numbers, however, there’s an AMD Radeon GPU that scored almost 63.9 FPS in the game’s benchmark at 4K with Crazy (i.e. highest) settings. 

The GPU was on par with the stock RTX 2080 Ti and almost 35% ahead from RTX 2070 while the overclocked flagship RTX 2080 Ti was almost 15-20% ahead the AMD GPU which we do not know whether it was overclocked or was at stock. If compared with an AMD’s previous Radeon GPU i.e. Radeon RX 5700 XT, the unnamed GPU was 20-25% better.

Obviously, you cannot totally judge a GPU with these raw numbers because a lot of factors like pricing, setup, ray tracing, and other facts should be considered to make a fair comparison. But one thing remains that AMD’s upcoming Radeon GPU or “Big Navi” can finally match NVIDIA’s last-gen flagship, also we do not know this is an entry-level GPU of the Radeon RX 6000 GPUs or a mid-tier or even a top-tier.

Now the test for the Red team will be to offer the card at the right price and provide better value to actually make significant sales figures.

James Rodriguez looks to add a different dimension to Ancelotti’s Everton

0

An impressive start for Everton in their 2020-21 Premier League campaign, an impressive performance from new signing James Rodriguez. The Toffees won their game against Tottenham 1-0. The former Real Madrid man was a crucial player in their midfield, often getting into central areas in the final third. According to this post, James Rodriguez created the most chances and made most interceptions in the game. Often playing out wide and cutting in from the right to shoot with his stronger left foot, Rodriguez was more than influential in the match.

But despite his brilliant debut, Ancelotti was quick to play down expectations and ease pressure on the Colombian midfielder. Speaking to the media in the post-match press conference, he was quoted as saying, “This performance gives us more confidence for the future. We showed what we can do. For the players, it was important to show what they can do. James Rodriguez brings his ability to control the ball, to do the right passes, to keep the team comfortable with the ball. This was important. But it’s only the first match of the season.”

This is perhaps going to be what Ancelotti expects from Rodriguez after all. Often running up the field to help in counter attacks or starting them on his own, he will also look to sharply position himself in the wide areas. With the likes of Gomes and Richarlison helping by occupying the central areas and Calvert-Lewin attacking the near or far posts depending on the situation, the idea for Rodriguez is clear – cross accurately to find the man to score. He will be equally dangerous when Everton win set-pieces and especially in short-range free-kicks, he will look to make a strong impact.

With the need to accommodate Siggurdson and Gomes, James will probably play as a right attacking midfielder than a proper no 10. And the best part about that is Everton will only seek to benefit with defensive-minded players in Allan and Doucoure doing the dirty work. That mean Ancelotti’s men, whose philosophy is based on fast counters and occupation of wide areas, has something for everybody. James Rodriguez can shine in the peak of his career, and Carlo Ancelotti will be the man to help him do it.

Samsung announces an event, likely for Galaxy S20 ‘Fan Edition’ on September 23

0

From the past couple of months, there had been a lot of leaks and rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition and many willing people are eagerly waiting for this handset. Eventually, all the waiting come to an end, as the South Korean giant Samsung is going to launch the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE on 23rd September at 10 AM ET, via a virtual event, as they have posted a promo poster for their upcoming event with a tag line of “Unpacked for Every Fan”.

According to the leaked report, previously we’ve got the specifications of this upcoming handset. Let’s check out those specifications in a brief.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition will be available in two variants of processor configurations. One of them will be a 4G supported Exynos 990, while the other one will be 5G capable Snapdragon 865 powerful processor. The phone houses a decent battery of 4,500mAH with the support of 15W fast charging.

There is IP68 protection and also Wireless Powershare facility available in this phone. It will be available in only a 6GB RAM variant and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage.

Coming to the display, this phone will have a 6.5-inches Super AMOLED panel (2400 x 1080 pixels) with a refresh rate of 120Hz protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Regarding the camera specifications, this phone features a triple rear camera module on its back.

PS5 price leak reveals the console to be more affordable than Microsoft’s Xbox X

0

Last week Microsoft surprised fans with an unexpected Xbox announcement. The company confirmed the Series S leaks were real and revealed that the cheaper console will cost $299.

It’s unclear whether Sony will reveal PS5 launch details, but Sony has to release PS5 availability information sooner than later. But recently there has been a major leak which might give us accurate pricing details about the next-gen PS5.

The PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition will cost $499 and $399, respectively. It was reported that the Xbox Series X forced Sony to cut the PS5 prices. The $500 price tag has been widely accepted by the fans of the console. The price just sits right with the fans as the next-gen console will come with massive hardware upgrades over its predecessor’s.

But again, we are only looking at un-confirmed rumours.

whats the scoop?

A user on a Spanish forum (via ResetEra) posted the following screenshot that comes from a Spanish retail chain. The list contains a bunch of consoles, including several Nintendo Switch models, as well as two mysterious models. One is a €499.90 “Aurea” device, and the other is a €399.90 “Enigma.”

Recently, an IGN poll was making rounds asking the twitter residents the question, “Now that we have more info on some next-gen console prices, which do you think you’re most likely to buy first?”.

The poll, now closed, placed PS5 with 55.3% of favorable votes. While the Xbox Series X attracted 23.5% votes. This placed the latest PS5 as the undisputed people’s favorite console.

If the rumors are indeed true than sony’s pricing structure will give the company a competitive advantage in the current market. Especially when the global market is affected by economic uncertainties due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Matching the price of PS5 Digital Edition with Xbox Series S will not give sony any advantage over Microsoft. However, if the PS5 is released at the rumored price then sony will surely have an advantage over Microsoft in the next-gen console battle.

Fitbit ECG App gets the clearance to identify Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)

0

Fitbit ECG application now moved a step forward to identify Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) as it receives the clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as Conformité Européenne (CE) for its ECG app to assess heart rhythm. In case if lost within Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), heart rhythm, and ECG application, let me explain one by one.

Atrial Fibrillation or AFibv is an irregular heart rhythm that increases the risk of serious complications like stroke. Though there are some exceptions, studies suggest that around 25% of the AFib-related stroke cases find out they have AFib only after a stroke has occurred.

Now, Fitbit’s ECG application that is introduced in the recent product launch is well capable of monitoring the tiny blood volume fluctuations in the wrist as the heartbeats (PPG) and measuring the electrical activity of the user’s heart (ECG). Among these two, PPG reading has the ability to identify asymptomatic AFib.

Fitbit Sense is the first device from the company end compatible with the Fitbit ECG application. Through this users can check the reading of their heart on the spot to analyze AFib. To do so, users need to hold their fingers to the stainless steel ring on the watch for 30 seconds long. After that, the device will generate the output which the user can easily share with a doctor or some experts.

Let you know, as a part of the submission process to regulatory agencies, Fitbit conducted a multi-suit clinical trial across the US. Surprisingly, the result exceeded the target performance revealing the Fitbit algorithm can detect 98.7% of AFib cases and was 100% accurate in identifying study participants with normal sinus rhythm (specificity).

In the end, the Fitbit ECG application will be available from October and onwards to the users on Fitbit Sense in the following countries – India, countries: the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland, Belgium, Portugal, Romania, Ireland, Italy, Spain, France, and Hong Kong. If you are wondering about the availability of Fitbit Sense in India, well, it will come here in the fourth quarter of this year at Rs.34,999. Carbon/graphite stainless steel and white/soft gold stainless steel options will be there.

Samsung to manufacture Snapdragon 875 SoC for Qualcomm

It seems like Samsung Semiconductor has snatched away the deal to manufacture Qualcomm’s upcoming application processor(AP) from TSMC. According to several reports emerging from South Korea, Samsung Semiconductor managed to offer a better deal for the manufacturing of the upcoming Snapdragon 875, in a 5nm process than TSMC which won them the contract for the entire batch of the Snapdragon 875.

The upcoming Snapdragon application processor (AP) is expected to follow the name convention and be known as Snapdragon 875 and is expected to be introduced later this year in December where you can also expect the announcements from smartphone manufacturer announcing their 2021’s flagship with this Snapdragon SoC.

A report from Hankyung, suggests that the deal is worth around KRW 1 trillion which translates to $844 million and according to the report it is the very first time that Samsung Semiconductor has been contracted to manufacture the whole batch for the flagship Snapdragon chipset which means Samsung will be manufacturing Snapdragon 875 for demand equivalent to a whole year.

TSMC unveils its new 6nm chip manufacturing process

According to a few industry insiders, Samsung won this contract due to the low prices it provided to Qualcomm while matching the quality standards equivalent to TSMC. Samsung is said to produce the same quality of chipsets but for lower costs mainly due to the large quantity of production since it will be also manufacturing their own Exynos chipsets.

Qualcomm’s next-generation chipset is supposed to be used by Samsung themselves for the upcoming S21 lineup and other smartphone brands such as Xiaomi and Oppo have also shown interest in using the upcoming flagship SoC for their flagship smartphones which can debut as early as the first quarter of 2021.

The Snapdragon 875 is expected to go in the mass production at Samsung’s 5nm EUV foundry line in Hwaseong in South Korea.

Rumors have been also suggesting that Samsung Semiconductor will be manufacturing Snapdragon 875G, Snapdragon 735G and Snapdragon 400 series 5G enabled chipsets for Qualcomm.

The South Korean giant has recently received orders to manufacture chips for the American giants like IBM Intel, and Nvidia on the contractual basis which gives it quite a business and narrows the gap between the champion of the industry TSMC. Samsung has said that it will be the biggest semiconductor manufacturer by 2030 and current happenings are pointing positively in that direction.

Dominic Thiem became the first player to win the US Open after losing the first two sets

Dominic Thiem made a huge comeback to clinch the US Open 2020.

This will mark the Austrian Tennis players’ first major title. He defeated Alexander Zverev in a close five-set match. Many considered Thiem to win easily as he didn’t have to worry about the likes of Novak Djokovic, Roger

(PC- Tennishead)

The final!

Thiem entered the US Open 2020 final as a heavy favourite, however, he was struggling earlier on in the game. Zverev outclassed Thiem in the first two sets and shocked the tennis community by winning 6-2 and 6-4.

It was reported that Thiem also suffered an injury that led to his lacklustre performance in the opening sets. However, he made a huge switch as he returned back to win the remaining three sets.

This was the first time in the history of US Open that someone has won the finals after losing the first two sets. He won by 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6.

“We started to know each other back in 2014 and straight away started to develop a great friendship,” Thiem said during the trophy presentation. “We’ve made great things happen on the court and off the court. It’s amazing how far our journey brought us, to share this moment. I wish we could have two winners today. We both deserved it.”

US Open 2020 runners-up, Zverev was also carrying the mental stress of his parents being tested positive for Coronavirus and couldn’t be with him in New York.

“I miss them,” he said, before stepping away from the microphone. “Man, this is tough. I’m sure they’re sitting at home and even though I lost, they’re pretty proud.”

US Open 2020 has been a tournament of comebacks. Thiem’s opponent Zverev made a comeback in the semifinals to book his place in the finals. He was two sets down but ended up defeating Pablo Carreno Busta. Also, in the US Open 2020 women’s finals, Naomi Osaka made a comeback from being a set down to defeat Victoria Azarenka.
