0

Leo Messi’s father has arrived in Barcelona today. 2nd September can be a big day for Barcelona and Messi fans as Jorge Messi has a meeting with Bartomeu before afternoon.

Jorge Messi has spoken with Deportes Cuatro exclusively about the future of his son and sees it as “difficult” for him to continue with the Barça team.

Messi’s father talks about his son’s future

  • Deportes Cuatro: Jorge, Hello … Is Leo going to leave Barça or what?
  • Jorge Messi: I don’t know
  • DC: How do you see it?
  • JM: Difficult
  • DC: Hard to stay?
  • JM: Yes
  • DC: And Manchester City is a good option?
  • JM: I don’t know, there is nothing.
  • DC: Did you talk to Pep and he told you that maybe it is better that you stay at Barça?
  • JM: I didn’t talk to Pep
  • DC: Didn’t you talk to Pep?
  • JM: No, with nobody
  • DC: And how do you see the future at Barça?
  • JM: Difficult, difficult

As things stand for now, it seems Messi is hell bent to leave Barcelona. He doesn’t want to continue under this board.

Messi has three possible offers on his hand. He is most likely to reunite with Guardiola at Manchester City but he also has an offer from PSG to form a historic trio alongside Neymar and Mbappe.

Juventus has also shown their interest in Messi. They want to form an iconic duo of Ronaldo and Messi in the same team. Messi’s Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez is also reportedly joining the Turin-based club this summer so it won’t be hard for Messi to adapt to the team.

Intel Core i7-1185G7 vs AMD Ryzen 7 4800U: A new battle begins

0

Today, the blue team will launch the Tiger Lake CPUs today and shortly before that, the leaker @WalkingCat has yet again leaked two important videos after having leaked a series of new promotional videos of Intel. However, later the video was taken down, but it was too late as Tom’s hardware already found the detailed comparison of Intel”s upcoming flagship against AMD’s current flagship mobile processor.

The specs of the new Core i7-1185G7 have already been confirmed as it will be a 4 cores and 8 threads processor with the new Willow Cove architecture. Obviously, the new 10nm SuperFin transistors have helped to improve the performance a lot over the disappointing Ice Lake CPUs, the new Core i7-1185G7 will feature a base clock of 3.0 GHz along with a boost clock speed of up to 4.8 GHz, and it has been confirmed recently.

That’s insane amount of clock speeds in a mobile form factor giving around 2.3x times improved base clock speeds, and a 23% improved in boost clock frequencies than the previous flagship Core i7-1065G7. Also, the CPU has a lot of cache memory – 5 MB of L2 cache and 12 MB of L3 cache, all of this in 15W standard TDP package which is configurable up to 28W (PL1). 

The best part about Tiger Lake is the integrated Intel Xe graphics and in the Core i7-1185G7, we have Xe-LP based DG1 integrated GPU which seems much faster than AMD’s Vega iGPU. The integrated Intel Xe graphics will feature with 96 Execution Units or 768 cores. In the leaked video the Core i7-1185G7 is facing the Ryzen 7 4800U in multiple games wherein the Intel CPU was configured to 28W (PL1) while the AMD APU was running on Extreme Performance Mode.

So, as both of the processors were running with higher wattage, the performance should be better as well because of the higher thermal limit. The new Intel Core i7-1185G7 surpassed the Ryzen 7 4800U in terms of iGPU gaming because of the new Intel Xe graphics. Also, these benchmarks confirm the Xe LP’s graphical performance over AMD’s always dominating integrated Vega graphics.

The Ryzen 7 4800U, on the other hand, the APU features eight-core, 16-threads with 8MB L3 cache with a 1.8 GHz base and 4.2 GHz boost clock speed while sporting 8 Vega Compute Units (CUs) clocked at 1,750 MHz. Not only the promotional videos but also the previous benchmarks on 3DMark also confirmed the fact that the new Intel CPU will have better-integrated graphics to that of AMD’s, so gaming on an Intel processor would not remain a myth now. More info will be known at Intel’s launch event today.

The patent also covers lots of other feature details like understanding gestures via a special algorithm that can understand on which limbs the user wore it, blood oxygen level reading sensor, Touch ID on the display, and so on.

To detect the exact limb, the watch will receive one or more signals through atleast one position sensing device and analyze the limb gesture(s) to figure out exactly on which limb of which side the users wore the device. For the entire process multiple position sensing devices, processing devices, and obviously pattern recognition algorithms will work together.

Result? It will able to detect where the user wears it – either in the wrist, arm, ankle, leg, or somewhere else including the left or right positioning. As per the placement, the device will work.

Jorge Messi arrives in Barcelona to discuss Lionel Messi’s future

0

Leo Messi’s father has arrived in Barcelona today. 2nd September can be a big day for Barcelona and Messi fans as Jorge Messi has a meeting with Bartomeu this afternoon.

According to various reports, he wants his son out of the club. Barca skipper’s father has taken this even further, as MD points out, both TyC from Argentina and RAC1 from Barcelona did agree that Jorge Messi is already in contact with the City Group leaders. 

Not only that, but Messi’s father has also now travelled to Barcelona to accelerate the negotiations. He wants to sit down and talk with the Barcelona board and resolve the issue of the ‘free transfer’ clause. 

Messi reportedly wants a move to Premier League side Manchester City after informing the club that he wants to leave this summer.

Manchester City has the necessary finances to afford Messi and then there are a lot of known directors who worked with Pep Guardiola at the time in Barcelona. So, Messi has a lot of known faces there to makes things much easier.

As we mentioned in our previous article, according to Catalunya Ràdio, last week Messi called Guardiola to inform him about the current situation and find out the possibilities to end up landing in Manchester. Although Guardiola wished Messi to end his career at Barcelona, but would never rule out the possibilities of having him play at the Etihad stadium.

Considering the power of the City Football Group that owns Manchester City, you can never rule out the fact they will fight to bring Leo and Pep together to win their dream Champions League. ESPN even said about a three-season contract in Manchester plus another two optional ones in New York City.

Also, it went on to say that one of Messi’s conditions is that Guardiola renews his contract until the season that he signs for. The Spanish coach has a contract until 2021, however, Manchester City has already started talks to extend Pep’s contract. So, as for now, Messi’s most favourable destination is Manchester City.

Today is a big day as the official announcement can be made soon about Lionel Messi’s Barcelona future.

New iOS 13.7 rolls out Exposure Notification feature to tackle COVID-19

0

Alphabet’s Google and Apple announced on Tuesday that a new system will be launched that will enable public health authorities to perform contact tracing with the use of smartphones to assist in contact tracing without having to build an app.

The new system is called Exposure Notification Express. According to sources, the system will allow public health officials to submit a small configuration file to Apple and Google. The two tech companies aim on using this config file to set up systems in order to determine whether the phone owners have been near someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

With the release of new iOS – 13.7, iPhones have been set to alert users whether their local authorities have enabled the exposure notification system and will allow the users to set it up without downloading any new apps. In the case of Android devices, however, the user will get a prompt on their system regarding the same, but will still have to download an automatically generated app.

The system allows two iPhones to communicate with each other and if someone who tested positive for the virus is in close proximity of the user then it notifies the user of the possibility of getting exposed to COVID – 19. On Android, users will get a notification if their state has made the Exposure Notifications Available to them via play store after which they have to download the app provided by their local health authorities.

Taking into consideration user’s privacy, the system will provide users with an option to opt-in for the Exposure Notification Express. It will not automatically opt them into the program without the user’s content unless they have already opted for it in the previous version of iOS. However, iOS has also been set with option through which the users can turn off the system at any time.

Once you are opt-in to the notification system, a random ID is generated for your device which is changed every 10-20 minutes to ensure the privacy of the user. These random IDs are exchanged in the background via Bluetooth and any app is not required to be kept running for this process to take place.

Authorities at Google and Apple claim that the user’s private information is protected and also that their identity is not shared with other users, Google, or Apple. But the success of this system entirely depends on the user’s feeling confident that their private information is protected.

Everton seal move for Real Madrid star

0

According to talkSPORT, Colombian international James Rodriguez is set to reunite with his former manager Carlo Ancelotti at Goodison Park.

As per the report, James has already passed the medical for his move to the Merseyside and the deal should be officially announced by the club soon.

With his contract set to expire in 2021, Real Madrid now look set to offload the player now than lose him on a free transfer later.

James Rodriguez is reported to have agreed a three year deal with Everton, committing him to the club until 2023. It has also been reported that the Colombian took a large pay cut to secure a move to England.

Why a Move to Everton is Best for James Rodriguez?

James had a very impressive stint at the 2014 FIFA World cup with his national side. His performances attracted the interest of the biggest club in the world, Real Madrid.

James sealed a move to the Spanish capital in the 14/15 season for €75 million from Monaco. His debut season at the Bernabeu was quite impressive as the player managed to score 17 and set up 18 in 46 appearances across all competitions.

Th following season he only made 32 appearances for Los Blancos, scoring 8 and assisting 10.

The player continued to be plagued by injuries as he missed a lot of games throughout the season, hampering his productivity on the pitch.

Eventually, he was loaned out to Bayern Munich for two seasons. Although James showed promise under Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern, he could not replicate the same under Nico Kovac and was starved for minutes upon his return to Real Madrid.

A move to the Premier League could help revive the career of the player. Since Ancelotti is familiar with Rodriguez, he could try to work his magic once more to get the best out of the playmaker. The best thing about to the move is the hike in minutes that the player will get on the pitch.

James Rodriguez has enough talent to become the star player at Goodison Park. All that remains to be seen is whether he can stay fit and consistent enough to impact his team on the pitch. However, with his former coach at the helm, we can expect great things from this reunion.
