0

After the LG Wing announcement, the company has teased about an upcoming smartphone, and it looked like a rollable one. In the next year, LG will put its focus mainly on two projects of them. One of those is Rainbow, whereas the other one is the B project. The first one is expected to be a classic flagship that is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2021. It is assumed to be a continuation of the V-series of LG. The next one will feature a rollable screen.

If we talk about the smartphone’s rollable screen, then it will be a great advancement in terms of display technology. It is quite a bit nostalgic as well as many years ago, we all used this kind of sliding display in the keypad phones. But this time, we can enjoy this kind of display on touch phones too. After the introduction of the foldable display, this is something that every smartphone lover has wished to see, and LG has never disappointed us.

The B-project is considered to make this rollable display for the users. It has an “out there” design in which a part of the screen will be rolled up for compactness but will be rolled out during use for larger screen sizes.

LG is doing some serious business in terms of smartphones. As per some reports, LG is expected to ship around 26 million smartphones this year. In the next year, the number is expected to be even more, around 30 million units. Besides those flagships, LG is also there to make some real affordable mid-ranger smartphones for its users too. For these reasons, the trading of the LG smartphones is just crossing its limits.

As per the company’s writing in a press release in September:

“The Explorer Project will focus solely on new usability that is discovered with innovative designs while LG’s new Universal Line will be the company’s lineup of competitive devices that focus on consumer lifestyles, such as LG VELVET.”

AMD Ryzen 5000 creates buzz with benchmark scores

AMD is all over the news with powerful processors and its sudden rise in quarter three earnings. But now it seems that the companies upcoming processors the AMD Ryzen 5000 based on the Zen 3 architecture process is garnering everyone’s attention.

The Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16C/32T CPU with a base clock of 3.9 GHz and a boost clock of up to 4.9 GHz. The single-thread performance of the 5950X in PassMark benchmark shows the CPU scoring about 3,693 points in the test, and the Ryzen 5 5600X’s score was 3,455. The Ryzen 9 5950X managed to outpace the current ruler of gaming processors, the Core i9-10900K, which also score 3,176 points, and the margin of gain is about 16.3%.

When it comes to multi-threaded performance, the new Zen 3 CPUs still pale in comparison against the Ryzen Threadrippers. The Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3995WX scored a massive 88,673 points with the Ryzen 9 5950X only outperforming the 16C/32T Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3955WX by 8%. But when everything is said and done, it is still praiseworthy that we see a 16% improvement over the Ryzen 9 3950X.

If we compare Geekbench 5 ratings, then the Ryzen 9 5950X reported a single-core score of 1,700 and a multi-core score of 14,018. This is a 20% increase in single-core and 26% increase in multi-core performance compared with Core i9-10900K. The Geekbench ratings also reported a massive clock speed of around 5 GHz.

It looks like AMD is finally ready to take down Intel with such leads in terms of single-core tests. While these results should still be taken with plenty of water, they show that the AMD CPUs will soon stand to be used as the default gaming CPU in the future machines

AMD’s processors are already being adopted by the likes of Apple and supercomputer LUMI. Soon, we think there will be a new king in the semiconductor market.

Solskjaer believes Manchester United can break Liverpool and Manchester City’s dominance this season

In 1986, when Sir Alex Ferguson took the responsibility of Manchester United, he said, “My greatest challenge is not what’s happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their fucking perch. And you can print that.” And he kept his word.

After 1990, Liverpool failed to win the Premier League for 30 years. It was a Golden time for Manchester United as well. Manchester United won 13 League titles in this time and also crossed Liverpool to become the most successful side in England.

But in 2013, after his retirement, the scene has changed again. In this new era, Liverpool and Manchester City are dominating the Premier League. Manchester United was struggling in this period to achieve the top 4 spots even.

Manchester United is now gradually becoming the very best again. Their performance is increasing day by day. Manchester United have arguably one of the best midfield and attack in the league with an excellent reserve bench as well.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is very happy with his team’s recent performance. He is confident about his side. He thinks that his side can do miracles this season and can even achieve the top 2 spots as well.

“So many clubs have developed strength in depth and ability to challenge for trophies,” Solskjaer said.

“The top two have run away with it in the last two seasons but this year a lot of us would hope to put up a challenge.”- he added.

Manchester United is currently 15th in the table and they will face Arsenal next.

IPL 2020: BARC report reveals IPL viewership has gone up by 28% from last campaign

In what is a remarkable achievement for India’s premier cricketing T20 league, the IPL 2020 has reported a viewership numbers increase of 28% compared to IPL 2019. This is particularly surprising, considering the action is taking place in the UAE as compared to its original Indian locations. This was done keeping in mind the medical protocols associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was deemed unsafe to have a functioning league in the nation.

But, it has proven to be a blessing in disguise for broadcasters and over-the-top (OTT) platform streamers. According to a media report, “the data also showed that performance per match of IPL 13 is higher than the last season. The cumulative reach of IPL 13 for 41 matches was 108 million, 11 per cent higher than IPL 12. Earlier, it had registered 98 million of cumulative reach.”

Since the stadium allows no live viewership, the only option for all the cricket fans across the globe have to resort to watching the matches on television sets, mobiles, laptops and tablets, just to name a few.

It has certainly been a revolution of sorts in India ever since the advent of technology and its access across the country in terms of the scale and affordability. To be able to reach every corner of India is no mean feat and the fact that telecom companies such as Jio, Vodafone and Airtel have introduced cheaper mobile data plans and connections, has seen even the lower sections of society have the luxury of enjoying the IPL action.

The fact that Hotstar has also come in as a suitable streaming platform, means that subscribers can watch the action from almost anywhere, and do not necessarily have to have television sets to do so. From that perspective, sports and entertainment business has seen a promotional outreach that continues to deliver through the medium of efficient technology methods.

IPL 2020 now heads into the final week of group stage matches, with the final slated to be conducted on November 10 at the Dubai International Stadium.

Pep Guardiola rules out Barcelona return and insists his focus is fully on Manchester City

0

Both Manchester City and Barcelona fans were keeping an eye on what Pep Guardiola had to say given that he has a contract with his current club until the summer of 2021.

Pep had already expressed an interest in renewing his deal, but only if the squad are able to reciprocate to his methods and tactics. And after Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta stated that he had a desire to bring back their former manager to the club, Guardiola has moved to quash that suggestion.

The Catalan head coach is quoted as saying, “I’m delighted to be in Manchester. Hopefully, I can do a job this season and stay longer.”

Josep Guardiola (2008 - 2012)

For Barcelona fans, this would come as a bit of a blow considering their former manager brought a dominant period of success between 2008 – 2012. And although current manager Ronald Koeman is doing decently well, there is still a longing of bringing back Pep Guardiola. Even more so, considering their club captain Lionel Messi has declared his unhappiness of the way things are being run at Camp Nou.

On the contrary for City fans, this would come as a delightful surprise. It would be safe to say that collectively they want someone like Pep to retain the squad he has built and keep challenging for top honours. But that being said, the expectation is that with all that backing, there is no reduction in the level of performances.

Guardiola: I would have stayed at Manchester City even if we had dropped  down to League Two | Goal.com

What now remains to be seen, however, is how Guardiola responds in the time to come ahead. He would require a job somewhere, so for the sake of himself and City, the decision needs to come sooner.

Man City are currently stuttering a little in the Premier League, although it has been a different story in the Champions League where they have now won two out of two. City next take on Sheffield United, and should they win that game will go up into fifth place after their worst ever start to a league season since 2014.
