Today, AMD released the new AMD Ryzen™ 9 5950X, Ryzen™ 9 5900X, Ryzen™ 7 5800X and Ryzen™ 5 5600X desktop processors – the fastest gaming CPUs in the world delivering up to a 26 percent generational uplift in gaming performance.
AMD Ryzen 5000 Series desktop processors are available from major retailers and e-tailers starting at $299.
Additionally, AMD 500 series motherboards are ready for AMD Ryzen 5000 Series desktop processors today with a simple BIOS update. This broad ecosystem support includes more than 100 AMD 500 series of motherboards from all major motherboard manufacturers. Support for AMD 400 series motherboards will be coming from partners by January 2021.
So for all those Indian fans who are excited about the official Indian pricing of these processors, here lie the prices excluding GST:
Product SKU
India Pricing
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
INR 22,990
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
INR 34,490
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
INR 41,990
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
INR 60,990
The prices are almost identical and in line with last-gen; however, with the higher end processors getting a slight increase in pricing makes sense of its great generational leap in gaming performance and multithreaded performance.
Also, do note that the final retail pricing will solely depend on the retailer selling the processor, however, should be almost near about the above given pricing along with taxes.

This investment will further strengthen PIF’s presence in India’s dynamic economy and promising retail market segment.

Good news for Indian football fans as LaLiga club Sevilla will soon unveil a partnership with an unnamed Indian football club.
Sevilla FC’s CEO Jose Maria Cruz revealed the news while speaking in an interview. He said that the LaLiga club wants to help Indian football grow. The club wants to focus on grooming talented Indian footballers and giving them opportunities. Sevilla also wants to learn about Indian football and its culture before starting with the process. However, Cruz said that the Indian fans will have to stay patient as it is a long-term project.
“We have always been a small club with limited resources but now we want to start growing internationally. We want to define who we are and India is the main objective for us,” Jose Maria Cruz during a media interaction.
Sevilla FC made a name for themselves in Europe with a record sixth UEFA Europa League title last season. They had previously won one La Liga and five Copa del Reys and also ended their four-year trophy drought after defeating Inter Milan in the continental competition’s final back in August. Therefore, after being a formidable name in Europe, they wish to expand their collaborations more internationally.
“Yes, we want to come to India but we will never pretend to share our experience and expertise straightaway as we need to learn more about Indian football and culture first. It is a long term process. Even though we are very experienced in Spanish football and European football, we don’t pretend to transfer it to Indian players right away”, Cruz said.
Cruz concluded saying that they don’t want to start in a rush and abandon the project in a few months as similar cases have happened not only in India but other parts of the world as well.
Wonder boy Erling Haaland has been rocking the footballing world with some serious displays across all competitions for Borussia Dortmund. Since his move to the Westfalenstadion, it has been nothing but raining goals from his end – and at the age of just 20 years at that!
With his brace against Club Brugge in Matchday 3 of the Champions League 2020/21, he now has 14 goals from 17 shots on target in the competition with both RB Salzburg and Dortmund. With a brief stint, he has already equalled the goals tally of that of Ronaldo and Adriano in the premier European competition.
His first goal against Brugge saw him fire in a close-range effort after Mignolet’s initial slip-up. It was almost the mark of a true centre forward, sniffing the opportunity and making his physique felt in the Brugge box.
The game was almost immediately in Dortmund’s pocket with a 2-0 scoreline just after the 18th-minute mark. The second goal was equally good from his end, getting into a great position. And when Julian Brandt squared the ball for him amidst the charging Mignolet, which Haaland eventually tapped in and made it 3-0 to seal the win for his team.
There is definitely something about Haaland which makes him special. Being a prodigious talent with exceptional ability is not something that every footballer is gifted with.
So many clubs tried to sign the centre forward before he made the move to Dortmund, that included Manchester United, Juventus and Man City among a few teams.
Of course, the idea is to build some experience with a team like Dortmund before moving on to a much bigger club and fulfilling his personal and club-level objectives.
But at the moment, the “Black and Yellow” will hope that Haaland remains at the club and guides them to the further stages in the Champions’ League.
Indian Super League is going to start on 20th November. All the football fans have already started to mark the dates on the calendar for the important matches.
All the matches are equally important. But there are some games which have some interesting history and dimension which makes them different from other clashes.
This season will kick off with a clash between defending champion ATK Mohun Bagan FC and Kerala Blaster FC.
Let’s preview about some insane matches of ISL this season.
Mumbai City FC VS FC Goa (November 25)
West-Coast derby is on 25th November. FC Goa was the table topper of last season’s group stage and qualified for the AFC Champions League.
FC Goa is the highest goal-scorer of ISL and among them, 33 came against Mumbai City FC. In last season we have some thrilling encounters between these two sides. We have seen 13 goals in two fixtures. So this will definitely be an interesting fixture.
SC East Bengal VS ATK Mohun Bagan FC (November 27)
It is probably the most coveted game of this season. After a long wait, East Bengal is finally going to start its journey in ISL. Their rival Mohun Bagan has merged with defending champion ATK and will play as ATK Mohun Bagan FC from this season.
ISL is finally going to taste the excitement of one the best derbies of Asia, the Kolkata derby.
Chennaiyin FC VS Kerala Blasters FC (November 29)
Another derby this month. The South-Indian derby has presented some exciting clashes in the last few years.
In their 14 meetings, Chennaiyin FC has won 6 games. But Kerala Blasters FC will surely try to change their destiny this time.

From today, November 5, the new Ryzen 5000 series processors are on shelves and ready to be used in your gaming rigs. However, if you are really confused of which CPU to buy, don’t worry all of them are honestly master at their price points.
As we see the average single-core score from the Geekbench 5 database, with courtesy of @TUM_APISAK, as promised by AMD, the new Ryzen 5000 series processors are the fastest in single-core scores. This clearly means, AMD will now have clear edge over Intel’s entire 10th Gen lineup in terms of gaming as well as productivity.
The chart as you see comprises of the four new AMD CPUs which sit right at the top of it and the only Intel competitor with 1425 points is the new Tiger Lake based flagship Core i7-1165G7. Whereas the flagship desktop CPU scores just 1411 points, on the other hand, the base $299 priced Ryzen 5 5600X is far ahead of Intel flagship that costs more than double.
The interesting thing to notice is that the Ryzen 7 5800X with 8 cores and 16 threads seem to be a better value if you aren’t looking for more cores. As we see it topping the chart with 1634 points followed by the Ryzen 9 5950X with 1631 points whereas the Ryzen 9 5900X gets 1620 points.
This proves that for gaming all of these new Ryzen 5000 series processors are equally good like its multi-threaded performance. Also, Intel’s bragging about their gaming performance is now demolished and paired with the latest Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs you can game at the highest quality without any hiccups at your sweet budget.
The Swedish media streaming firm Spotify has released quite a few updates this year for its streaming service. We earlier saw the company releasing the feature to search songs using lyrics. The new upcoming feature lets artists and labels advertise the songs that they feel are important.
Now, however, the company has started rolling out a new update for its streaming service. And this time, the update comes for its app on Apple Watch devices. The update allows users to listen to Spotify music and podcasts directly connected to a cellular network or Wi-Fi. Earlier, the users of service on Apple Watch needed to use a tethered connection from an iPhone to stream music from Spotify. It seems now that things are changing for good.
It has been a long time since Spotify was launched for the Apple Watch device. But the service to date had no support for streaming music directly via the internet. It, more or less, worked as a remote control for the Spotify app on the iPhone. It merely allowed users to browse through their music and control playback, which was highly disappointing. It was a considerable inconvenience to carry the iPhone every time you want to stream music using Spotify, especially during running tasks.
Now, the Swedish media streaming firm is finally listening to its customer base and has released internet connectivity streaming support. The update is soon expected to be rolled out for all the users in a phased manner. It will allow the users to pair their Apple Watch with Bluetooth headphones.
Now, it’s allowing them to listen to Spotify without having to carry their iPhones during exercises. However, the streaming service is still not offering the users to store music and podcasts offline on the apple watch. Apple Music on Apple watch devices supports offline storing and streaming. Whether the Swedish media streaming firm decides to launch, the storage feature remains to be seen.
