Éric Abidal’s contract has been terminated by the Barcelona board

0

After sacking Quique Setién officially, we thought as if Éric Abidal would be safe from the “severe restructure” at the club having lost to Bayern Munich by 8-2 recently. But however, with the club’s official statement today, the ex-French Barça player has been sacked as well because he was too part of the club’s bad fate since he took over as the sporting director of Barcelona. Here’s the club’s statement:

FC Barcelona and Éric Abidal have reached an agreement for the ending of the contract that united the two parties. 

The Club would publicly like to thank Éric Abidal for his professionalism, commitment, dedication, and the close and positive nature of his relationship with all aspects of the Blaugrana family.”

Éric Abidal's contract has been terminated by the Barcelona board

One of Abdial’s final acts at the club was to inform Setien about the club’s decision of sacking the coach and they met together, little did Abidal knew he would be terminated from his contract as well. Even though Abidal, a former Barcelona defender was a two-times Champions League winner during his stay at the club, he was practically successful enough in the role for over two years.

He was responsible for the heavyweight signings such as Griezmann or Coutinho, without even a proper plan of implementing the player’s role in the team. Obviously, a lot of radical changes and decisions has led to the downfall at the club which indeed has made Lionel Messi furious at the club and according to rumours, he could ask to the leave the club.

Éric Abidal's contract has been terminated by the Barcelona board

Although Barcelona has won the La Liga back-to-back, except this season, its Champion’s league dream is still missing and we know how Messi really wants to end his career with a ‘winning project’. This is just the start of the much proposed “changes” that are supposed to be taking place in the days to come and we could see a lot of players sold for budgets as well.

Also, the club will be appointing Ronald Koeman as the next coach of Barcelona. The Dutchman is currently over negotiations with the club and will soon take over the charge at the club. Bartomeu is doing as much possible to make his image clear at the club and has been forced to prepone the presidential elections as well, so a lot of things are going in Barcelona, we will keep you posted regarding all updates.

MediaTek Dimensity 820 vs Snapdragon 765G: MediaTek is the outright winner

0

There’s always a battle going on between the Taiwanese MediaTek and the American Qualcomm over innovation in the semiconductor industry. Obviously, there’s a huge feud over performance that ultimately helps consumers to get the best, while Qualcomm is focussed more on flagships and mid-range, MediaTek delivers great SoCs at both budget and mid-range.

However, in recent times, the Taiwanese firm’s mid-range Dimesity SoCs with 5G support has given a bit of pain to Qualcomm, as these mobile processors cost less and provide better performance to that of the Snapdragon 700 series SoCs. While Dimensity 1000 is MediaTek’s flagship SoC that is a mid-range processor, it has failed to match the Snapdragon 800 series chips.

Although, MediaTek’s price-to-performance ratio is just nailing the competition, take the recent Dimensity 820, another mid-range chip, it has overpowered Qualcomm’s best i.e. the Snapdragon 765G. Want to see the comparison? Notebookcheck has done a great job bringing in all of the scores together:

Here Redmi 10X Pro 5G is powered by the Dimensity 820 chip while both the OnePlus Nord and Redmi K30 5G are powered by Snapdragon 765G. In the Geekbench, we see the Dimensity 820 scoring an impressive score of 629 points while the Snapdragon 765G manages to grab just 606 points, not a huge difference but still MediaTek wins.

In the multi-core tests, the things however seem to be different as the Dimensity grabs a handsome score of 2,568 points while the Snapdragon 765G 820 only managing 1,710 points. This difference in performance is huge as in about 50% better performance.

Coming to AnTuTu, the Dimensity 820 records a CPU score of 124,080 points while the Snapdragon 765G only manages to score 102,643 points, about 20% advantage in CPU performance for MediaTek here as well.

If you are thinking if Snapdragon chip will win in the GPU segment (as most Qualcomm chips have better iGPU) but in this segment too, Dimensity 820’s GPU scores 123,609 in AnTuTu’s GPU test. On the other hand, the Adreno GPU on the Snapdragon 765G manages to score only 92,870 points – a clear win for MediaTek by 33% margin.

According to 3DMark, the Dimensity 820 scores 4,518 points in the Sling Shot Extreme (ES 3.1) test while the Snapdragon 765G only manages 3,442 points. This is almost same as per the AnTuTu GPU test, giving a 31% lead to the MediaTek Dimensity 820.

Overall, this SoC is not much talked about but, however, gives significantly better performance than the Snapdragon competitor, more smartphone vendors should use the Dimensity 820 on their mid-range smartphones now.

WhatsApp rolls out new ‘Messenger Room’ support on mobile devices in India

Facebook introduced its Messenger Room back in March, but in India, it came in July. From the beginning, it became the toughest competitor of Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and other similar video calling platforms. Now, it has become more effective and accessible as it is integrated with WhatsApp.

From now, you will get access to the Messenger Room from WhatsApp. Earlier it was available for the desktop and web version. After this new update, you will get the ‘Room’ option in WhatsApp on the mobile version. It will take you to your Messenger app when you click to the option, for further processes.

How to use Messenger Room from WhatsApp

You can directly go to the ‘Call’ section on your WhatsApp
Or,
Open any chat and click on the attach icon beside the message box which will open a popup and select ‘Room’ from there.

When you click on the ‘Room’ option or icon, you will be prompted to ‘Continue in Messenger’. This will take you to your Messenger app installed on your phone.

Tap on the ‘Create Room’ option at the bottom and you are good to go. Just copy and share the room link to invite your friends. Do remember, the maximum capacity is 50. You can go for this option if your friends’ group is larger than 8 people.

The features of Rooms are yet not “end-to-end encrypted” as “there are significant challenges” while providing such advanced and complex encryption for video calling with large groups of people. Messenger Room content is encrypted between participants and the Facebook servers, that are “placed in only a handful of countries that have strong rule of law”. The company also promised that it will not monitor or record the video calls.

Facebook is still actively working in the process of “end-to-end encryption” for more security purposes as it is a great challenge for the company while managing it over a large group of people.

Intel’s upcoming Xe-HPG Gaming GPUs will be based on TSMC’s 6nm process

0

The chip giant Intel is stepping into the consumer gaming GPU market in the upcoming year with a lot of promise. The new Xe-HPG GPUs will be produced at an external foundry, by the current leading company in this segment, TSMC.

Now, as per the Taiwanese based outlets, it seems that TSMC is confident enough in winning orders for Intel’s next-generation Xe-HPG GPUs. This is reported by IThome (via @harukaze5719), who says these new gaming GPUs from Intel will be produced at TSMC’s fabs.

The Taiwanese company is one of the few to manufacture bleeding-edge fabrication technologies, making it the biggest one in the world currently. These sources have claimed that Intel will be utilizing TSMC’s 6nm process node for its upcoming gaming GPUs.

This will not be an easy battle to get into as it has to compete against the likes of AMD’s new RDNA 2 GPUs and NVIDIA’s upcoming Ampere GPUs by the time they actually get available worldwide. Also if they do so utilize 6nm process node, these GPUs will be first ones to actually do so.

Both NVIDIA and AMD will use TSMC’s 7nm process for their upcoming GPUs while Intel will be opting for TSMC’s 6nm process directly. It will be making use of an advanced version of the EUV lithography tech for 6nm process.

Apple already in talks with TSMC to fabricate custom ARM chips for Macs

So this offers an 18% increased in logic density over TSMC’s 7nm (N7) process and is also compatible with 7nm design. This will obviously give an edge to these new Intel GPUs.

These Intel gaming graphics cards will be utilizing a standard packaging design that we find on other modern GPUs. So, even if Intel thought of using 7nm at first, as they will launch in 2021, they might be tempted to use 6nm as well because there will be no compatibility issues.

Hoax emergency call detection technology development gets a boost as the University of Southern Queensland receives $300k to spend

0

All the emergency call operators have to face so many hoax calls. It’s hard to detect that in real-time manually and also causes service delay to the needy people. In this pandemic condition, such things can be hilarious. To prevent that, the University of Southern Queensland received $300,000. This amount will spend to develop a hoax emergency call detection technology that can respond in real-time.

The amount is approved by the State Government’s COVID-19 Industry Research Fellowship and received by Computer Scientist Dr. Rajib Rana who is leading the entire project.

The power of Artificial Intelligence algorithms will be used to determine the distress levels in the callers’ voice by monitoring physiological cues like high respiratory rate and dry mouth so that the emergency call operator can prioritize. The detection process will be fully automatic.

“When someone is in real distress there are physiological changes that happen, and that really alters their speech production,” Dr. Rana said. “Usually those changes are really hard to imitate. So using artificial intelligence techniques we are trying to determine those changes in real time. It’s not going to replace a human specialist, but … based on the objective level of distress they can rightly forward them to an expert who can talk through the situation.” he added.

The system will be trialed, for the first time, by the Metro North Hospital and Health Service through its 1300MH mental health support call. This technology will be helpful, no doubt, during any kind of national disaster, as the volume of emergency calls increased.

The Xbox series X and its promise to deliver 4K games at 60 fps, as well as support for up to 120 fps for “the most demanding and competitive games.” Also, there’s support for hardware-accelerated DirectX Raytracing giving you framerates up to 120 frames per second. The new Xbox Series X promises faster loading times, and Quick Resume for multiple games, playing will look and feel better.

Microsoft will deliver 10 GB of bandwidth at 560 GB/s, or 6GB at 336 GB/s. For storage, the Xbox Series X is using a custom NVME SSD with 1 TB of capacity. The SSD seems fast too, with 2.4 GB/s RAW, but that as much as doubles to 4.8 GB/s when the console uses compression with a custom hardware decompression block.

Xbox Series X price leaked

Microsoft has revealed everything about the Xbox except the price of the new console. This is the same case with Sony’s PS5. In the previous editions of their consoles, Sony’s PS4 was priced less than Xbox One and it gained the majority of the market. So both of them are keeping their lips closed about the pricing.

A recent news has come up to the surface which has leaked the price of Xbox Series X. Someone sent a screenshot of the Xbox Series X listed at a retail store. The Xbox Series X was listed for $599.

Although the source couldn’t be verified, it seems fair for the new Xbox to be priced at $599. This means Xbox Series S will be priced much lower at around $400. So Xbox would definitely have the chance to compete with Sony’s PlayStation on the price front.

There has been a lot of debate on this matter. People were excited to know how much the Xbox Series X will pinch their pocket. So you can now start planning to buy the Xbox Series X when it is up for pre-order or released in the last quarter of 2020.

Microsoft is expected to reveal some information about the much anticipated Xbox Series X this month, so stay tuned here to get the latest updates.
