The upcoming 8-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX flagship APU spotted, up to 4.60 GHz clock speed

0

CES 2021 is coming along with lot of excitement among fans to witness the next-generation of AMD Ryzen mobile processors. The upcoming Ryzen 5000H series of gaming processors are important significantly because of the fact that they will be based out of AMD’s powerful Zen 3 architecture.

This means you can expect significant improvement in single-core as well as clock speeds. We already have seen a engineering sample of the Ryzen 7 5800H in action and in the Cezanne-H family we have a new flagship processor Ryzen 9 5900HX, spotted by TUM APISAK.

Coming to the specs, the Ryzen 9 5900HX sports 8 cores and 16 threads, where it runs at a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It features 16 MB of L3 cache and 4 MB of L2 cache, which indeed is a major upgrade over Zen 2.

Interestingly, we might have a successor of the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, the processor was spotted on a ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX551QS laptop. Much like the Ryzen 9 4900HS, this APU also comes with 45W design configurable down to 35W. The new rumor about the HX series is that it will allow users to overclock them, which will make this the first of a kind feature on laptops.

The laptop features an insane 48 GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 3200 MHz and most likely it will come equipped with new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series graphics or even the RDNA 2 based Navi mobile GPUs. The Geekbench scores are also interesting as we see a major improvement in single-core score with 1423 points, however, not much improvement in the multi-core with 6912 points.

There are multiple listings as well as laptops of ASUS ROG Zephyrus laptop with the Ryzen 9 5900HX processor paired with RTX 3080 that has 16GB VRAM along with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD.

Whereas, in other listings we see the ASUS ROG Zephyrus 15.6-inch with Ryzen 9 5900HX processor paired with 8GB RTX 3070 GPU along with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. On ther other hand, we see another listing of ROG Zephyrus 14-inch with Ryzen 9 5900HS processor, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD paired with 6GB RTX 3060 Max-Q graphics.

This proves, not only ASUS, AMD as well will be offering a variety of Ryzen 5000H Cezanne APUs based on Zen 3 architecture. There are multiple RTX 30-series mobile GPUs as well, so if you had been complaining about AMD not given much priority, be happy gamers, because 2021 will be a great year!

‘unnamed’ Microsoft Surface device pops up on Geekbench database

0

In a fresh source of information, Microsoft’s new device has been spotted on the Geekbench. The unnamed Surface Laptop was spotted with an 8-core, 16-thread AMD CPU. It was running at a base clock speed of 2.00GHz. As of now, there’s no Ryzen 4000 series present on AMD’s website that’s running at the aforementioned clock speed. The only card capable of achieving such results is the Ryzen 9 4800U, which sports 8 cores, 16 threads but has an operating base frequency of 1.80GHz.

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 3 was indeed a powerful machine, but it was held back thanks to a 4-core, 8-thread AMD Ryzen 7 3780U CPU. But the new appearance of the Redmond based giants unnamed surface model with such high clock speeds; indicates that Microsoft and AMD might have worked together to provide a slight performance boost on this ‘custom’ Ryzen 7 3780U processor.

But the leak in Geekbench 5 indicates that the specs of the device list the DDR4 RAM instead of the LPDDR4X. This can mean Microsoft will stick to upgradable memory sticks on the upcoming Surface Laptop 4 instead of soldering it. It will allow users to upgrade their RAM in the future.

you can check the leak in the below image:

Hopefully, the unnamed surface device will not end up like the Surface Laptop 3 and will offer some great specs for its users. As of now, there is no update on the launch or even the official name of the device. But consider the increasing demand for high-performing devices, Microsoft better not slack off with the specs for its upcoming surface model.

Manchester City keeping tabs on Gladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria

0

Manchester City are reportedly keeping tabs on Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria to bolster their options in midfield. The Cityzens are currently out of the top half of the table, and find themselves in unknown territory since the beginning of the 20/21 season. 

On episode 14 of the “Here We Go” podcast with guest Christian Falk of German publication BILD, Fabrizio Romano and Falk mentioned that Manchester City, as well as Bayern Munich were interested in Zakaria.

The Gladbach midfielder has been vital to Marco Rose’s revitalised side that managed to finish in a Champions League berth last season. 

The 24-year-old’s contract is set to expire in the summer of 2022. The duo mentioned that a release clause inclusion could be on the cards for the Swiss midfielder.

If that doesn’t happen, and Zakaria does want to leave Gladbach for a bigger club, then €40 million is the sum of money that the German club are holding out for. 

Considering that the player would possibly be available for a decent sum of money, more clubs could eventually jump on the bandwagon. However, for now, City and Bayern Munich are the names that have been linked with the midfielder. 

The Sky Blues are reportedly also keeping tabs on AC Milan holding midfielder Ismael Bennacer as well.  

Jim Ryan now insists on the Crossgen Support of PS5/PS4 as a “Right” and “Rational” thing

0

Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has informed that the company “believes in generations,” but the tune has been changed in recent months. Few PS5 titles like Horizon Forbidden West, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and possibly God of War Ragnarok are cross-gen games. Other Sony execs have suggested that PS4 support will continue for at least three more years for these titles.

During the issue of Edge Magazine, Ryan claimed in an interview that it was time for games that “can only be enjoyed on PS5”. He is saying that simply the “right” and “rational” thing to do is support the PS4.

“We do feel that we have a responsibility to that huge community, and an opportunity to carry on making great PS4 games for as long as the need is there. And I think that is the right thing to do, it’s the rational thing to do, and I think you will see a tail with PS4 that you did not see with PS3. But that said, as time passes, you’re going to see more and more emphasis on PS5 development, and the PS5 SKU will be the lead SKU.”

Remember that this does not mean that any PS5 exclusive is happening there. By the way, we have two big names in Demon’s Souls and the upcoming Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. From Jim Ryan’s gaslighting, it is very tough not to be carried out. If he accepts the fact and says that they have changed their strategies and clear out the reasons, many people may go along. Crossgen support is brilliant for the company, but six months ago, he said the exact opposite. It should be cleared that which game will cross-gen or which won’t be.

AC Milan want to keep Calhanoglu amidst Manchester United rumours

0

Hakan Calhanoglu is one of AC Milan’s best players, and has been very involved in the club’s goalscoring fortunes from the attacking midfield position. 

The Turk is the man in the squad that plays that one smooth pass to find the free man to play the final ball into the goalscorer. So far, he has featured in almost every single minute of football that Milan have played this season in the Serie A. 

Manchester United were one of the clubs that were linked with the player considering that his contract expires in the summer of 2021. He was on the Premier League club’s radar all over this past transfer window but they eventually ended up signing Donny Van de Beek from Ajax.

With only six months left on his current deal, the 26-year-old will be allowed to talk to other clubs, if Milan do not manage to tie him down to a new deal come the new year. 

The main problem hindering the Rossoneri from offering their number 10 a new contract is his salary demands. The player wants his current wage doubled in a prospective new deal that the club might offer. 

Discussing the player’s future on the “Here We Go” podcast exclusive to Patreon, Fabrizio Romano and guest Christian Falk of BILD said that he could still end up staying at the club. 

Despite finances impacted heavily, the players are not paying heed to the situation and are adamant on their demands for money from the clubs.

Should Milan ensure a successful spell in the Europa League and continue their form in Serie A, a potential bumper deal reaching its conclusion could certainly be on the cards. 

Paolo Maldini has currently been confirmed to have started contract talks with the player, and negotiations with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma are still on. 

Bayern Munich could have a quiet window ahead but are monitoring midfielders

According to Christian Falk of BILD, German giants Bayern Munich are losing about €4 million with every single match being played in Bavaria. The renowned German journalist was the main guest for episode 14 of the “Here We Go” podcast, hosted by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on his Patreon. 

He later went on to say that the treble winners do not have money to spend on players. That is one of the main reasons that they made so many last-minute signings in the summer transfer window. 

Should Bayern Munich find that their squad is relatively fit before January, they might have a quiet mid-season window.

They are mainly interested in midfielders, with Kimmich spending a spell on the sidelines, Thiago having left the club, and Tolisso’s position unsure in the heart of the park. 

Florian Neuhaus was one of the names mentioned by the duo during their conversation. The Gladbach midfielder is actually grabbing the attention from many clubs at the moment. 

Denis Zakaria is also being watched by Bayern Munich. The player will be up for a sale if he doesn’t sign a new contract, or doesn’t have a release clause added to his existing deal.

The Foals could be holding out for a sum worth €40 million for the midfielder. However, it remains to be seen whether Bayern will have the need for a midfielder in the first place considering their heavy squad depth. 

Nvidia probably won’t be able to meet the supply demand for its graphics cards any time soon

0

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the global economy has taken a major hit and has distributed the global supply chain. Due to this, the supply of major companies has been taken a major hit. As Such, Nvidia has announced that its supply chain of GPU has been severely hit. As such, the prices of its cards have seen an increase in recent times. As such, the gamers are in peril to fight against both the less supply as well as inflation of prices.

Now considering the global efforts to distribute the COVID vaccine will start in 2021, it is also possible that global shipments will be disrupted even further as the vast bulk of vaccines is moved. This means that the gamers might not see prices normalize until late 2021.

NVIDIA CFO Colette Kress stated that the company is experiencing supply constraints, which make them unable to meet demand through Q4 2020. It also includes wafers and silicon along with companies’ other components. It clearly means that the gamers will not be able to buy anything at affordable rates throughout 2020 and also during the initial quarters of 2021.

“We do have supply constraints, and our supply constraints do expand past what we see in terms of wafers and silicon, but yes, some constraints are in substrates and components. We continue to work during the quarter on our supply, and we believe though that demand will probably exceed supply in Q4 for overall gaming.”

But the supply chain problem will not be solved any time soon, but the green team is still trying its level hard to start with the goal of meeting the demand. As there exists fierce competition in the market over the graphics supply dominance, Nvidia cannot slack off.

“We do expect it probably to take a couple of months for it to catch up to demand, but at this time, it is really difficult for us to quantify. So, we stay focused on trying to get our parts to the market for this very important holiday season. Each day things continue to improve. But before the end of the quarter, we will be able to provide some more information.”

Apple M2 chip powered MacBook Pro coming next year

0

The Cupertino giant had an amazing 2020 with the unveiling of its own Apple Silicon, aka Apple M1 chip, that has totally stirred the market with its performance, drawing as much as just 10W power using an industry-leading 5nm process.

A new report arises that Apple might launch two new MacBook Pros – 13 inches and 16 inches with an M2 chip. Strangely, we expected to be some M1X chip that would have landed on Mac desktops as well. However, reports from Gizmochina say that Apple is planning a new and more powerful chipset for Mac devices — Apple M2.

New reports from China hints that Apple will be launching a new M2 chipset based on the same 5nm process, powering the upcoming MacBook Pros. Whereas in the year 2022, Apple is looking to make a shift to mini-LED and all of its MacBooks will be switching to better displays.

The report even claimed that Apple would be launching a couple of GaN chargers in 2021. Given that Apple is on a surge to make itself independent, I won’t be surprised if it makes more chips as it gives better results at lower costs.

Santa Monica based video publisher Activision Blizzard announced on Friday that its franchise Call of Duty has been doing quite well for itself over the past year. According to Activision, the company has set a new record by surpassing $3 billion in net bookings over the last 12 months.

This impressive number was reached thanks to the November release of the new game Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, available on the Xbox Series X/S and the PlayStation 5. The continued success of Modern Warfare and Warzone, which is a free-to-play online game has also contributed to the record number as it surpassed 85 million players since its launch in March.

Other means of revenue included a variety of products as well as services sold within the franchise’s ecosystem either physically or digitally over the past 12 months, publisher incentives, merchandise, and more. With over 200 million people who have played Call of Duty this year alone, units sold through are up over 40 percent year over year.

Activision shared its third-quarter report in which Call of Duty: Mobile was the highest-grossing game in U.S. app stores since last October.

In a press release, Activision made note of the incredible momentum created by its shared ecosystem business model for the series, which includes a multi-tiered release of games like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty Warzone, and Call of Duty Mobile.

“The momentum over the last year across the Call of Duty ecosystem from free-to-play Warzone as well as post-launch support of Modern Warfare, and now to Black Ops Cold War has been incredible,” said executive VP and general manager, Call of Duty, Activision, Byron Beede, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“This is the next great chapter in Black Ops with an amazing campaign, an all-new zombies experience, and, of course, high-octane multiplayer. Launch is only the beginning. We are focused on building a continuous pipeline featuring a tremendous amount of free, post-launch content and events across the franchise”, he added.
