The Red team’s Ryzen 5000 series CPUs have already been launched and it consists of 4 new CPUs for every people who are looking for good budget and high-end CPUs. These CPUs promised better gaming performance over last generation as well over Intel’s current best CPUs.
So, its obvious that before its actual availability the benchmarks have already started to surface across the internet. The latest set of Geekbench 5 scores from our prominent tipster @TUM_APISAK does suggest that AMD’s upcoming flagship CPU can finally hit that 5GHz barrier.
The Ryzen 9 5950X is said to hit up to 5.04GHz with a single-core score of 1661 points while in multicore it gains as much as 15804 points. Whereas the 12-core monster Ryzen 9 5900X is not far behind with almost similar single-core score of 1647 points whereas a multi-core score of 12601 points.
The Ryzen 7 5800X with 8 cores manages to score 1619 points in single-core test while managing 10096 points in multi-core tests. On the other hand, the budget Ryzen 5 5600X manages to grab 1496 points in single-core test, attaining up to 4.64GHz clock speeds and 7550 points in multi-core tests with lower RAM speeds.
All these CPUs will be on shelves for you to buy on November 5th and seeing these scores it already makes sense why AMD is now the best choice even for gaming as well as multitasking jobs as well.
Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Mohammed Siraj created IPL history as he became the first player to bowl back-to-back maiden overs in the Indian Premier League.
Not just maiden overs, he picked up two back-to-back wicket maidens as he picked up two wickets in his first and one in his second over respectively.
He accomplished this outstanding accomplishment during yesterday’s match when Royal Challengers Bangalore took on the Kolkata Knight Riders. Both RCB and KKR being at third and fourth position respectively, desperately wanted this win to get into the top two positions of the points table. After winning the toss, KKR skipper Eoin Morgan confidently chose to bat first. However, that decision obviously backfired.
Siraj displayed brilliant swing bowling!
Siraj was brought in as a replacement and that decision obviously paid off. He first took the wicket of Rahul Tripathi who could be a very dangerous batsman. On the very next ball, he sent the talented Nitish Rana towards the pavilion.
It was quite evident that Siraj was targeting full test match style length and trying to swing the ball under Shaikh Zayed conditions. Tripathi was dismissed by an out-swinger which took the outside edge. Rana, however, was deceived by an in-swinger that disturbed his timber.
He followed the same approach in his next over against another young, talented, and dangerous Tom Banton. Banton had a great Big Bash and is well versed in facing fast bowlers. Siraj, however, used Banton’s aggression against him as he pitched the ball full and slightly outside the off-stump inviting the drive. Banton fell into the trap as he attempted a cover drive that got an outside edge to the keeper.
Siraj conceded only 8 runs off his four overs with an economy of only 2.00. He finished with outstanding figures of 4-2-8-3! Kohli would be extremely happy to add Siraj to his bowling reliable lineup of Morris, Saini, and Chahal.
We all, whoever uses the internet, is somehow connected with Google. Commonly we can say, Google is a part of our daily life. So, it’s obvious there is hardly a person who doesn’t aware of the quad-color logo of Google. Apart from the logo, we all are connected with this company through its various services like Gmail, Drive, Calendar, PlayStore, Google Duo, Google Fit, and so on.
Don’t know whether you noticed or not, this Mountain View giant is replacing the app icons of its services slowly over a few months. It was started with the logo change of Google Photos. Now, currently, the list contains five to six applications. Apart from Google Photos, there are Google Calendar, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Fi, Google Meet, and obviously the Google Maps.
Surprise? You should. From the list, though, Google Maps’ icon change is a bit old news now, the rest of the other platform’s makeover is recent. Not sure about the Android 11 updates of these applications, but for the rest of the versions, the applications as not changed yet except Google Maps, Google Drive, and Google Photos. The changes in Google Calendar, Gmail, and Google Meet are visible on the web version only.
It seems Google is trying to redesign all of its popular applications’ icons with the famous quad-color format. We have to see when these changes will reflect on the smartphone versions and also how many applications are yet to join this list.
Lastly, these changes are from the outside. We need to check further to confirm any internal changes are there or not.
Following Petr Cech’s registration in Chelsea’s 25-man Premier League squad, one can only hope it does not come to him donning the gloves! But regardless, it has given us an opportunity to look at the evergreen footballers who continued playing the game into their late 30s as well.
Here we take a look at every Premier League club’s oldest player to have played for them –
John Burridge – Manchester City
Currently plying his trade as a goalkeeping coach at Kerala Blasters, Burridge featured for Manchester City at the age of 43 years 162 days. He had a long career featuring for many English clubs and won a few amount of trophies.
Mark Schwarzer – Leicester City
The former Chelsea goalkeeper is quite the frequency on this list, considering he played for many PL clubs. Hailing from Australia, his last stint in professional football was with Leicester City, when they won the league in 2015/16.
Brad Freidel – Tottenham Hotspur
A retired American goalkeeper, Freidel was known to be a good shot-stopper during his peak. He famously featured for Tottenham Hotspur at the age of 42 years and 176 days.
Mark Schwarzer – Chelsea
Probably the best of his playing career came with the Blues, acting as the deputy to number 1 Petr Cech. Schwarzer was reliable behind the sticks and often produced some vital saves as well.
Jens Lehmann – Arsenal
Yet another keeper makes it to this list, with Jens Lehmann a fan favourite for many at Arsenal. He was voted UEFA Club Goalkeeper of the Year for the 1996–97 and 2005–06 seasons, and won a few league and cup titles with the Gunners.
Teddy Sheringham – West Ham United
One of England’s finest centre forwards and consistent at club level as well, Sheringham continued playing for West Ham until he was 40 years old. 2006/07 was his final season in the Premier League, with him moving to Colchester United later on.
Mark Schwarzer – Fulham
And here he is again, for yet another time in the list! It can be said that Schwarzer got his move to Chelsea, owing to the contributions he made at Craven Cottage. He made a total of 172 league appearances during his five seasons at Fulham FC.
Edwin Van Der Sar – Manchester United
Amidst their goalkeeping troubles, how United fans would like ‘VDS’ to come back from retirement and provide a reassuring presence at the back. The Dutch keeper spent seven years at the Red Devils, making 186 appearances in the process. He continued playing for United till he was around 40 years old.
Kevin Phillips – Crystal Palace
The centre forward featured for The Eagles a total of 4 times in 2013/14, and continued to play for Leicester in the Championship at the time. Playing till the time he was 40 years old, Phillips remains to this day the only Englishman to win the European Golden Shoe after securing a 30 goals season with Sunderland in the 1999/00 season.
Brad Freidel – Aston Villa
The American shot-stopper was a relatively late bloomer in football. Before making the move to Tottenham, he played 114 games for Aston Villa over four seasons. Featuring at the age of 40 years for the Birmingham-based club, Freidel was definitely one of the more experienced goalkeepers of his time.
Nigel Martyn – Everton
Probably one of the lengthiest careers in the Premier League, Nigel Martyn was blessed to feature in England’s top-flight for about 20 years. Playing for Bristol Rovers, Leeds United, Crystal Palace and Everton, Martyn was forced to retire after a bad ankle injury in 2006.
Kelvin Davis – Southampton
A sprawling 10 year career with Southampton, saw Kelvin Davis feature for the Saints until he was 39 years old. In the process, Davis featured in more than 300 games for the club, and was also briefly caretaker manager after the sacking of former manager Mark Hughes in 2018.
Pavel Srnicek – Newcastle
Featuring at the age of 38 years and 290 days, Srnicek was a crucial cog in the wheel of Newcastle United’s prominence during the 1990s. Making over a 150 appearances for the club, he was the starter for Czech Republic during their 1996 UEFA Euros campaign, where they finished runners-up.
Dean Kiely – West Bromwich Albion
Probably the ‘youngest’ goalkeeper on this list, West Brom had Dean Kiely in their ranks up until the 2011 season. Just short of 70 appearances for the Hawthorns club, Kiely also later worked as a goalkeeping coach in his post-playing career.
Bruno Saltor – Brighton
The recently retired right-back was a key figure in Brighton’s promotion to the Premier League. After spending 8 years at the club and making 225 appearances for the club, Bruno retired at the age of 38 years, with his final match coming against Manchester Ciy in the 2018/19 campaign.
Graham Alexander – Burnley
Graham Alexander was recently in the news, being sacked as the manager of Salford City. But during his playing career, he featured for Burnley in about 155 games for the club, playing at the ripe age of 38 years and 211 days.
Denis Irwin – Wolves
One of the very good left-backs in the 1990s, Denis Irwin was an expert set-piece specialist and majorly spent his career with Manchester United. At the age of 38 years, he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on a two-year deal which saw him make 75 appearances for the club and also score 2 goals during that time.
Gordon Strachan – Leeds United
Former Scotland national team manager Gordon Strachan was an impressive midfielder who occupied the flanks and was quite creative at times. During his time at Leeds, he played in 197 games and scored 37 goals. He remains to date Leeds’ oldest player who featured until the age of 38 years for the Whites.
Phil Jagielka – Sheffield United
Jagielka has been a long stay in the Premier League for some time now. Previously with Sunderland and Everton, he is now playing for Sheffield United – his boyhood club. Even at the age of 38, he puts in great defensive efforts and looks a very composed defender.
Gary McAllister – Liverpool
Working as assistant to Steven Gerrard at Rangers currently, Gary McAllister was an impact substitute who liked to score some wonderful goals. Interestingly, the Scottish midfielder got his dream move to a club like Liverpool at the age of 36 years and then spent two seasons with the Reds.
Apple introduced us with the new iPhone 12 series, which is the first to sport 5G connectivity, seems to be in spotlight for some time now as people are waiting to get their hands-on with the next-gen iPhones. Obviously, 5G will remain the sole point to upgrade for a lot of people, however, this feature might end up eating some battery as well.
As per the report from Tom’s Guide, these new iPhones seem to drain more battery and even more than the 5G based Android smartphones. In their test we see there’s almost 20% more drain in battery while using 5G over 4G connectivity.
In this kind of situation it makes no sense for Apple to reduce battery sizes over last generation as with 5G the need for battery has increased drastically, not even giving a full 10 hours screen on time. Apple does have that automatic 5G to 4G network switch but that works in certain scenarios only.
So, if you want to juice the max battery out of your new iPhone, do switch to 4G manually to get the max out of it. The new iPhone 12 even falls behind the 5G enabled Android flagships like Galaxy S20 or OnePlus 8T or Pixel 5.
Apple needs to fix this somehow via update or something like that to make for the cut in the battery sizes this time.
Acer has announced a series of new devices hitting the retails market in a few months. The slew of devices unveiled by the company includes laptops, desktops, beamers, display devices, and much more. Earlier, we saw the company unveiled the first-ever Chrome OS device powered by the Snapdragon 7c processor, which is aimed to deliver 14 hours of battery back that is currently out of reach for every Chromebook in the market. Not to mention, Acer has also released a new fleet of monitors in its already famous Predator and Nitro series of gaming devices.
Now, the company has announced its latest Google Assistant-equipped smart speaker device, that comes with RGB lighting and a low-res LED display.
The smart speaker, dubbed as the Halo Smart speaker is designed for homes especially equipped with Google devices. The look of the devices gives a feel of staring at a Nest Audio Speaker. The RGB offers color schemes for night and day setup. The device also comes with a physical mute and switch button, along with controls for play and pause and volume adjustments. The low-res LED display allows users to check time, view alarms, or see weather updates.
The company states that it is currently developing an app to personalize the display of its Smart speaker device
The users will be able to display a custom message or even a low-res image on the screen. Acer’s new Halo Smart speaker is turning out to be a viable alternative to the newly launched Nest Audio device. The Smart speaker’s main key advantage is its complete integration with Google devices and augmentation of Google Assistant’s answers with some additional information.
Acer announced the launch of its Halo Smart speaker starting from the First Quarter of 201. The device will start at $109 and will be first made available for the company’s North American Market.
The Halo Smart Speaker will be available in North America in Q1 2021, starting at $109. People in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia can purchase the device for €119 beginning this December.
The current pandemic has forced everyone to adapt to a Work from Home culture. With most professionals pushing their work through online mode, portable devices have seen a surge in their demand compared with previous years.
One of the devices that have been seeing an increase in demand and innovation are the Chromebooks. With teaching being taken to online platforms, sales of Chromebooks have drastically increased. The industry is now gearing up to offer new designs to make Chromebook a more viable choice for users to buy.
Since the beginning, Chromebooks have been powered by Intel processors and worked as expected.
The only issue was the lack of proper battery backup and high manufacturing cost. But things are about to change for good.
We already know that Microsoft is pushing its upcoming Windows 10 PCs with Qualcomm-based chipset to improve the power consumption and performance of its surface notebooks. Acer has recently announced breaking the tradition and releasing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c-powered Chromebook Spin 513 and Chromebook Enterprise Spin 513. They are the first Chrome OS devices to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7c chips
Acer’s new Chromebook Spin 513 will be available for purchase from February 2021 in the US market and will have a retail price of $399.99; the Chromebook Enterprise Spin 513, on the other hand, has a release date of March 2021 and will start at the cost of $699.99.
Many might argue that the Snapdragon 7c is a low powered processor. It is currently Qualcomm’s weakest laptop processor in the market. All that is true, but Acer and Qualcomm are trying to ship a Chrome OS device that delivers longer battery life, which the Snapdragon 7c can. Acer claims that the new Chromebooks powered by Snapdragon 7c will output 14 hours of battery life.
NVIDIA has been making rounds in the semiconductor market with its latest acquisition of ARM. This acquisition would most likely stir up the tech world at its core. Arm’s limitless potential and uses in the smartphone market and low-power processing segment give Nvidia an unfair advantage over other mobile processor manufacturers. ARMs importance is growing in both the data center and supercomputing markets. Thus the Nvidia deal comes with significant consequences for the tech industry.
Many believe that China’s authorities might not let the deal follow-through, which will cause several implications to the manufacturer of the graphics.
Rumors have surfaced that several Chinese companies, including the Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei. The reports claim that the Chinese tech giant is actively lobbying regulatory bodies to either reject the deal or accept it only with several conditions.
The trade war between the chinses and the trump administration is still going strong, especially with the US department stripping Huweai from expanding bits 5G technology and limiting its business with TSMC.
Huawei and several Chinese companies are pushing China’s State Administration for Market Regulation to ensure their ability to use Arm’s designs. They believe the new acquisition will hamper their business.
NVIDIA will have the option to remove Arm from the Chinese market completely that will strip the country’s tech giants of the integral design required by their semiconductor wafers.
Regulatory approval is critical for Nvidia’s ARM deal. If the United Kingdom administration joins China in potential rejection of the agreement, then NVIDIA will have no choice but to abandon its acquisition of ARM.
However, NVIDIA has assured that Arm will operate in the same manner that it currently does. NVIDIA plans to use Arm’s customer base to expand its GPU presence while targeting the growing artificial intelligence.

The beautiful sport of football is a medium for people to connect with and has sometimes furthered the cause of humanity which gives rise to passion and emotions in a positive manner. But what is not welcome in football, is racism and lack of education leading to unacceptable statements.
Many footballing entities have undertaken their stand of “No Racism” and have staunchly promoted this strong message so that more and more people can become aware of the issue. But regardless, incidents keep coming up time and again. The latest footballer to be subjected to racism is young Ansu Fati of FC Barcelona. And teammate Antoine Griezmann is winning respect and hearts on the internet today, with his stance on the situation and reaction on Twitter.
Ansu es un chico excepcional que merece respeto como cualquier ser humano. No al racismo y no a la mala educación. pic.twitter.com/LZuJOzoTMG
Griezmann secured a screenshot of one of Salvador Sostres’ article which contained the offensive and racist words directed towards Fati, and his post’s translated caption read “Ansu is an exceptional boy who deserves respect like any human being. No to racism and no to bad education.” This development came after the author had covered the review of the UCL group stage match between Barcelona and Ferencvaros, which ended 5-1 in the former’s favor.
Ansu Fati scored 1 goal and 2 assists in the game but was still subjected to such treatment by the writer. Barcelona’s legal services department is expected to take up this matter very seriously, and might even sue the agency and writer on relevant grounds.
Ansu Fati has certainly emerged as Barcelona’s golden boy in the last season, who is an established member of the first team now with his latest contract extension. With the likes of fellow forwards Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann guiding him at the starting of his top-flight career, Fati has fitted in seamlessly at the club with no incessant pressure particularly placed on his young shoulders. Fati has so far this season a tally of 4 goals in 5 games across all competitions for FC Barcelona.
