Nvidia to launch RTX 3060 Ti version sooner than expected

1

NVIDIA’s new RTX 3060 Ti was confirmed recently with its full specifications, and it looks like the graphics provider is soon launching the card as well. According to sources, the RTX 3060 Ti based on GA104 will be launched on November 17.

The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti features GA104-200 GPU with 4864 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 memory, which is clocked at 14 Gbps. The bus will be 256-bits with a total bandwidth of 448 GB/s, and TBP is estimated to be around 200W, with the reference design clocking in at around 180W.

Nvidia’s biggest rival, AMD, recently launched its Navi 22 series on October 28, and that could be one reason why NVIDIA has decided to launch the Ti-based variant first. With 3080 and 3090 cards out of stock, gamers are hungry to get their hands on a next-generation GPU

The Samsung 8nm node offer yields that are lower than expected and are as expensive as hell. The company expects the yields and, therefore, pay’s prices for the wafers. And it expects that the yield will rise in the coming months. According to sources, the company has been cautious about its orders of the first few batches and has reportedly placed a significantly higher volume of orders for later batches.

Nvidia decided to launch its Ti version first means that the company is growing vary of AMD and is planning to tackle its biggest competitor. With AMD processors and graphics cards establishing their dominion in the market. Nvidia needs to deliver reliable performance and stand up to the expectations of its fanbase.

We also know that AMD is developing a new technology to tackle Nvidia in 4K gaming platforms. As to how Nvidia will respond to this remains to be seen.

iPhone 12 Camera module can’t be Transferred to Another iPhone 12

It’s been a few days now since Apple has launched its iPhone 12 series. Now there are a lot of reviews in the market regarding the different sections of the iPhone 12, such as its battery, camera, and so on. A new report has just come out that iPhone 12 camera module is irreplaceable. That means, if any technician removes the camera module from an iPhone 12 and fix it to another iPhone 12, the camera app will not work properly. Most of the functions will not work and it will hang several times, refuses to switch the ultra-wide mode, and so on. The main thing is the user can not use the camera of its iPhone 12.

Behind this kind of thing, Apple may be looking to come down the third party repairs with this iPhone 12 segment camera issues. To solve any camera issue of the iPhone 12, the authorized technicians will need to run Apple’s proprietary cloud-linked System Configuration app to fully repair cameras. This is applicable to iPhone 12 and will be on the upcoming iPhones as well.

It is not only for the first time that has happened with iPhones. Back in the time, when iPhone 8 Plus was released, and technicians tried to swap the LCD screen of it, they have faced a lot of problems. The problem occurred because Apple had used three different manufacturers for those iPhones. So, from that time, Apple was very much possessive to its own devices and intentionally discouraging third party repairs.

Now the main thing is how much worth it is from Apple. Because if we check the price segment of the iPhone 12 series, the price tag of the iPhone 12 is Rs. 79,900 and for the iPhone 12 Pro, it is Rs. 1,19,900. Now if a buyer spends that amount of money on a single iPhone without having a charger or earphone, and moreover facing a lot of problems in case of any issue regarding the device, then it is a thing to look out for. Like after spending a gigantic amount of money, you can’t even repair the device by any third party process. So, you will net more money to repair it at that time.

Quique Setien reveals it is hard to manage Lionel Messi

0

Last season in January Barcelona sacked Ernesto Valverde and appointed Quique Setien as the new manager but unfortunately he too didn’t lasted long enough.

After Barcelona’s humiliating 8-2 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Setien was sacked in August and former Barcelona player Ronald Koeman has now been appointed as the new manager.

After being relieved of his duties, Setien has now revealed that Barcelona captain Lionel Messi is difficult to manage.

setien Quique Setien reveals it is hard to manage Lionel Messi

According to an article by Goal, in an interview with former Real Madrid and Spain coach Vicente del Bosque for El Pais, Setien spoke about the difficulty of managing a player like Messi, the winner of six Ballon d’Or awards and someone Setien considers the greatest to ever play the game.

Setien said: “I think Messi is the best of all time. There have been other great players who have been great, but the continuity that this boy has had throughout the years has not been had by anyone.”

“Leo is difficult to manage. Who am I to change him! If they have accepted him as he is for years and have not changed him.”

“There’s another facet beyond just the player and it’s more difficult to manage. Much more difficult. It’s something inherent in many athletes that can be seen in the Michael Jordan documentary (“The Last Dance”). You see things you don’t expect.”

“He’s very reserved but he makes you see the things that he wants. He doesn’t talk much.”

Setien further added: “After leaving what I am clear on is that at certain times I should have made other decisions, but there’s something above you: the club.

“And it is above the president, the player, the coach. It’s the club and the fans. They are the ones to whom you owe the greatest respect, and you have to do what is most convenient for the club as a whole.”

Setien’s Barcelona reign ended in the summer and club president Bartomeu has also resigned a few days back. Barcelona are going through a tumultuous time off the pitch.

Ronald Koeman has been somewhat able to manage the team and make them play beautiful football though the results haven’t been satisfying always. On the other hand, the presidential elections will also be carried out shortly to elect the new president to take the club forward.

AMD is busy taking on its rival companies like Intel and Nvidia. It seems that the company is doing so while offering high performance and innovations to its customers. According to sources, the company is currently testing a new supersampling feature designed to increase performance during ray tracing.

Sources claim that this feature is an alternative to NVIDIA’s DLSS feature and will be open and cross-platform. So we can assume that it may come to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, both of which are powered by AMD technology. However, this feature is a long way ahead as it won’t be ready in time to launch the Radeon RX 6000 cards.

AMD is looking to head with Nvidia in terms of 4K gaming and more; the one big missing piece of this battle was the lack of technology to tackle Nvidia’s DLSS. Nvidia’s AI-powered supersampling technology has been transformative for the games that support it. It brings excellent image quality and higher frame rates by simply toggling up a game’s setting.

AMD reported a new supersampling feature in testing, which is designed to increase performance during ray tracing. The company promises its supersampling technology will be open and cross-platform. According to sources, the company is reportedly working with several partners on this technology.

NVIDIA’s DLSS 2.0 feature is powered by the RTX series GPUs’ Tensor Cores. It is an AI-powered image reconstruction technique that improves visuals considerably with no impact on the system’s performance. Several titles, including  Death Stranding and Ghostrunner and the soon to come Cod: Black OPS Civil War, also make use of DLSS 2.0 to deliver unprecedented visual quality.

AMD’s Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 cards will be released on November 18th, while the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which will go against NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3090, will release on December 8th. As to whether AMD’s new tech will give it an edge over Nvidia remains to be seen.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 appears in AnTuTu benchmarks

0

Qualcomm has been the leading smartphone processor maker for a long time now, and ist processors are widely used globally. But in terms of performance, the leader had been surpassed by Apple a long time ago. But still, it is undoubtedly the fact that most smartphones come with the company’s Snapdragon SoC.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 will be releasing in the first week of December, and till then, several leaks have been making their rounds on the internet about its performance. However, most of the leaks offered were mostly the chips benchmark results and not AnTuTu results.

The leaker Abhishek Yadav on Twitter stumbled allegedly leaked what appears to be an AnTuTu score for a Qualcomm chip called Lahania. It, according to sources, is none other than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875. The silicon managed a score of 874,868, outperforming its predecessor- the Snapdragon 865+, which only manages to score around 629,245. It also leaves Samsung’s Exynos 1080 and the HiSilicon Kirin 9000 in the dust. Both chips were only a few points behind 700,000 on AnTuTu.

While the fantastic 800,000+ AnTuTu score suggests that the Snapdragon 875 is on par with Apple’s A14 Bionic, that isn’t necessarily the case. AnTuTu is designed to compare devices based on the same operating system. And one cannot merely compare an android with iOS. However, it’ll be interesting to see how the Exynos 2100 fares on AnTuTu. The chip, the same as the Snapdragon 875, has surfaced only on Geekbench so far. Based on what we’ve seen so far, the Snapdragon 875 is slightly behind the Exynos 2100.

With Apple’s A14 Bionic and A13 Bionic dominating the smartphone processor market with their performance. Qualcomm needs to release some powerful chips to establish its mark on the industry once more.

Guardiola isn’t happy with Manchester City’s recent performances

0

It has not been a great opening 6 matches in the Premier League for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. The Citizens have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 1 match so far. Although these results might be acceptable for a side challenging for mid-table or Europa League qualification, it will not be enough to make a challenge for the title and claim it back from defending champions, Liverpool.

Manchester City’s most recent result is a 1-0 win over Sheffield United. City defender Kyle Walker scored the lone goal of the match against his boyhood club.

Last season, City were defensively vulnerable but they now have a reliable defensive pair of Laporte and Dias. However, the problem lies somewhere else. They are lacking that killer instinct this season and are finding it difficult to put the ball into the opponents’ nets.

City manager Pep Guardiola isn’t happy with his team’s recent performances and feels it won’t be enough to challenge for the title. Here’s what the Spaniard has to say about City’s performances:

“It’s our third game in seven days. It was a really good game against a good team in Sheffield United with rhythm and control; they are so strong in some areas – stronger than us.“

“We played really well in the first half and created a lot of chances; we struggled with scoring goals. When you arrive in the second half at 1-0 anything can happen, especially with them being so good at second balls and having the patience for an extra pass.”

“They are really good with crosses, they had one clear chance in 90 minutes, so that is good for us in terms of how we defend, but unfortunately when we arrived in the final third, we are not as clinical as we were before. Nine goals in six games is not enough. I understand completely why, many reasons”.

Manchester City scored a whopping 102 goals last season but this time it seems they are finding it difficult to score despite having some of the best players. Guardiola needs to find a solution quick enough in order to be in contention for the Premier League title.

Intel Iris Xe Max features Deep Link, allowing it to smash Nvidia MX30 in performance

0

Intel has released some new details on its new Iris Xe MAX discrete GPU. It will feature the same 96 EUs as its integrated counterpart, but unlike it, it has a higher TDP that can push the clock speed to 1.65GHz and comes with a dedicated 4GB memory. The GPU also features variable-rate shading and Intel DLBoost and works over PCIe 4.0.

Intel Iris Xe (iGPU) and Xe MAX (dGPU) are practically the same. So intel was desperately searching for new technology to compensate for the performance of the new GPUs. Intel found the technology in the form of its Deep Link.

Deep Link is a platform innovation that allows Intel to tap the integrated GPU and dedicated GPU together and the CPU. It is a massive boost in terms of GPU performance.

Roger Chandler, vice president and general manager of Client XPU Product and Solutions in the Intel Architecture, stated, “We set out to redefine the role of discrete graphics in thin-and-light laptops and address a growing segment of creators who want more portability. Iris Xe MAX graphics and Intel® Deep Link technology serve as examples of the kind of platform-level innovation that Intel plans to bring to market in the future as we execute to our scalable Xe roadmap.”

Deep Link will aggregate multiple processing engines through a common software framework. It will bring new capabilities and better performance to the PCs using it. The framework helps laptops by maximizing CPU performance and boosting the artificial intelligence (AI) creation performance.

The Intel Iris Xe MAX easily beats NVIDIA’s MX350 in the benchmark. However, Intel Iris Xe MAX GPU is seen to offer more consistent performance throughout the gaming tiers. It can achieve 30+ fps on most AAA titles while running on low-medium settings.

Intel® Iris® Xe MAX graphics will be available for Acer Swift 3x, Asus VivoBook Flip TP470, and Dell Inspiron 15 7000 2 in 1 from today. These are the first devices to adopt the 11th Gen Intel Core mobile processors along with Intel Iris Xe MAX graphics and Intel Deep Link technology.

Atletico Madrid sign Valencia midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia under special La Liga transfer rules

The transfer window might officially be closed around the world, but there are always exceptions to the rule in La Liga. And a big piece of transfer news that will delight the supporters of Atletico Madrid, is that Valencia’s dynamic midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia is joining the club on a permanent deal.

As the very reliable Fabrizio Romano reports, the transfer fee for the player is expected to be an upfront amount of €11 million, with add-ons and a 10% receivable on any future sale component.

This represents a very good deal from Atletico’s perspective, who might have found a replacement to the recently departed Thomas Partey, who went to Arsenal.

From that perspective, this deal is actually taking place because of Partey in a way. La Liga’s special rules suggest exceptional circumstances where if a player’s release clause is met on the final couple days of a transfer window, it gives that team an allowance to sign replacements from within the league, Segunda Division or who are unattached to any contracts.

Since Thomas Partey did leave on the final day of the summer transfer window which saw Arsenal deposit the full amount of his release clause with La Liga, it did not allow enough time for Atletico Madrid to sign another midfielder. And considering Partey left behind a vacant spot in the squad, Kondogbia naturally takes that up and retains the original 25-man-squad requirements.

Reports - Atlético Madrid close to signing Geoffrey Kondogbia - Into the  Calderon

Meanwhile, this is the fifth first-team player to leave from Valencia in the 2020/21 season, after the club announced they were having debt problems and are embroiled in a financial crisis of sorts. In a bid to raise funds and achieve stability, the African midfielder’s move is merely a facilitation towards that objective.

Kondogbia would be a very good signing for the Rojiblancos, considering his versatility and physical strength. Making 27 appearances for Valencia last season, he had a successful pass rate of 85% and committed 2.3 tackles and 2.1 interceptions per game. His personality will suit Diego Simeone’s style of play, in what will be a robust transfer to boost Atletico’s midfield depth.

Nvidia offers free COD bundled with its RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 GPUs

Nvidia is the leading manufacturer of graphics processing units, and we already know that the company is gearing to expand its dominance further. We discussed a lot on the soon to be released Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 series line-up. The cards will be based on the company’s ampere GPU’s and are said to be high-performing than its domineering 2080 Ti GPUs.

Recently, Nvidia announced adding the new COD game along with its GeForce RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 GPU purchases. The game will be added for free to select purchases of GeForce RTX 3090 and RTX 3080. However, the RTX 3070 is not included in this new promotion.

The game supports NVIDIA RTX (ray tracing) and DLSS (deep learning super sampling, aka super-resolution) technologies, which is a massive boost in an immersive experience. The bundle being offered with the cards includes a standard version of the game, Woods Operator Pack, and Confrontation Weapons Pack.

New NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 can run games at 60 fps in 8K, priced at $1499

However, it is essential to ensure that the card is purchased through an authorized retailer. NVIDIA lists all US retailers and platform partners included in the terms and conditions of this promotional deal.

The offer runs starting from today till December 10, 2020. The redemption period ends on January 11, 2021, though. The recommended system specifications with ray tracing support list GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, but the developer did not specify if this is at 1080p or 1440p resolution. Those planning to try COD at 4K resolution with RTX enabled the need to equip their systems with GeForce RTX 3080.

Nvidia is in work to acquire ARM, but its rival AMD has already acquired Xilinx and is impacting the gaming sector. Whether Nvidia’s new promotion and COD developer help the company create its domination in the graphics market once more remains to be seen.
