Intel is losing its crown as the semiconductor king

0

Intel is the undoubted king in the semiconductor manufacturing market. The company has released its latest 11th generation Tiger Lake processors and is currently dominating the Notebook market with almost every OEM adapting its latest SoC. But it seems that the company is losing its footing in the Data Center powering chips. It is reported that the company’s shares slumped after a drop in its data center sales.

It is worth remembering that the data center business is a significant source of profit for Intel. The company losing its footing in the market means a massive loss for the silicon manufacturer. It is also reported that Intel’s sales to cloud computing providers will further go down in the Q4 of 2020.

Intel’s Chief Financial Officer George Davis said, “We saw a big change in our data center demand profile with enterprise and government dropping 47% year over year after being up 30% for two consecutive quarters.”

Intel is completely trying to make a new beginning to bounce back into the market with their first big announcement coming in the form of Tiger Lake CPUs.
Intel wants to reform itself but will it?

Intel has been the largest chipmaker for the past 30 years and offers cutting-edge designs in its chipsets. Intel has held out over the years and has powerful semiconductors and established its dominance in the silicon manufacturing market. However, now the silicon giants position as the best is being questioned.

Intel has been delaying several of its processor chipsets from the date it was initially supposed to launch. For example, its 10nm processor was initially planned for 2017, but it is picking up only in 2020. However, its 7nm process chipsets have been delayed for now, and the launch date has not been revealed yet.

Intel has been leading its billion-dollar chip industry for three decades. Still, now its rivals like Advanced Micro Devices rely on their cutting edge technologies to manufacture next-gen chips that rival those of intel’s while being available at a more affordable price.

Marcus Rashford: A hero off the field as well

0

The Manchester United star was awarded the PFA Merit Award this year, in recognition for his actions off the pitch. Marcus Rashford is a perfect example of what it truly means to be a good human being above all.

Despite earning millions at United, the player has not forgotten his roots. Most importantly, the player realizes the importance of giving back to society. To try and make the world a better place is something that all of us can try to do.

Rashford is a long-running advocate for the eradication of child food poverty. The forward regularly takes to Twitter to voice his opinions and share the stories of the underprivileged.

But sadly, MPs rejected a Labour motion to extend free school meals over the school holidays until Easter 2021 by 322 votes to 261 – a majority of 61.

Now, Rashford has been successful in his quest as many organisations have come out in support of him to provide free meals to children.

Marcus Rashford is not only a Manchester United hero. He is the one who gets support from every corner of England. He is an absolute inspiration for others.

United’s rival Liverpool’s player Robertson even went to the extent of saying Rashford is going to get a standing ovation at Anfield after fans are allowed inside the stadium.

Despite being just 22-year-old, Rashford is doing the job of a responsible man. He is the hero, everyone needs right now.

Hakim Ziyech and Donny Van De Beek have shared some good memories in Ajax jersey together. But from this season they became rivals. Donny Van De Beek has joined Manchester United this summer and Hakim Ziyech joined Chelsea as well.

Donny Van De Beek is yet to start a game in Premier League for Manchester United. He has scored in his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace after coming off the bench. His performance after coming off the bench was too good. Some even suggest that he should start a game.

Donny van de Beek and Hakim Ziyech b351 Hakim Ziyech is not happy seeing Donny Van De Beek on the substitute bench

Manchester United is going to face Chelsea in the Premier League tomorrow. Hakim Ziyech and Donny Van De Beek will be facing each other tomorrow.

In a press conference, Hakim Ziyech was asked about his old teammate. He said, “Donny van de Beek will bring quality to Manchester United. He needs much more game time to show his full potential.”

“We spoke in the beginning when he moved to Man United, but we didn’t speak about his situation.”

Earlier Donny Van De Beek’s agent Sjaak Swart said: “A substitute, I don’t like it at all.”

“I couldn’t do it myself, substituting in with four minutes left to play. Then you’d better let me sit down.”

After the comment of Donny Van De Beek’s agent, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is pressurized to let him play. But Ole is dealing with the things very well and he knows, Manchester United will win anything if and only if they have a substitute bench as strong as their first XI.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 benchmark scores place it above the RTX 2080 Ti

The world leader in graphics manufacturing Nvidia has been pretty busy this year. With its deal of Acquiring ARM moving forward, the GPU manufacturer is all set to impact the Semiconductor market. On the other hand, its graphic processors are still the most preferred choice for gamers around the globe.

We have the latest scoop on our hand because Nvidia’s upcoming GeForce RTX 3070 GPU has its benchmark details leaked. The graphics processor is set to launch next Thursday and will reportedly offer more excellent performance than the famous RTX 2080 Ti.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 will be made available for $499.

The leaked benchmark results of the RTX 3070 makes it seem like a formidable device. It offers 1080p and Ultra-Wide resolutions, and it performs better than the RTX 2080 Ti. However, compared in 4K, the RTX 3070 has poor GPU performance than the RTX 2080 Ti. The RTX 3070 falls by a sharp 2.5% compared with the RTX 2080 Ti.

At the core of the RTX 3070 graphics card is the GA104 GPU. It is one of the many Ampere GPUs that we will be getting in their gaming segment. The GA104 GPU is reportedly the second-fastest Ampere chip that Nvidia offers.

The GeForce RTX 3070 comes with a total of 46 SM units, which is a total of 5888 CUDA cores. The RTX 3070 also packs the next-generation of Ray-Tracing core. Tensor cores, and a brand-new SM or Streaming multi-processor units.

The processor also features an 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and has a speed of 14 Gbps. While featuring an uncut bus interface of 256-bit, the module delivers a cumulative bandwidth of 448 Gbps.

The alleged benchmark results make the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 a more viable option over the RTX 2080 Ti. These are all just leaks and rumours for now and must be taken with a pinch of salt. As to what will be the actual performance of the new GPU remains to be seen.

Apple to use Qualcomm 5G modems through 2023, Court documents revealed

After the launch of the iPhone 12 series, one after another thing gets clarification about the series. Now we have come to know a piece of news regarding the iPhone 12 series, that the series comes with Qualcomm’s superseded Snapdragon X55 5G modems. It is true that Apple has purchased Intel’s modem business, but the company is currently relying on Qualcomm. That’s why a new teardown has been revealed and we came to know that Apple has fitted a Qualcomm-sourced second-gen Snapdragon X55 5G-capable modem to its iPhone 12 series. The court documents have also revealed that Apple will use Qualcomm 5G modems through the year 2023. That time we can expect X65 and X70 modems, which are yet to be announced by the company itself.

Also Read: 5G might hurt as much as 20% battery life for iPhone 12 series

The thing is that the third generation Snapdragon X60 modem has already been launched earlier this year. But still, it is not clear that why Apple has not used a more advanced X60 modem in the iPhone 12 lineup. For comparison, the X55 is fabricated on a 7 nm node whereas the X60 is fabricated on a 5 nm node. So, in the case of smaller battery backup, the Snapdragon X60 would have been the ideal choice.
