The largest global semiconductor contract manufacturing and design company looks to break record steadily each month of 2020 despite the pandemic. In July, TSMC gained $72 billion in shares to become the world’s 10th most valuable company.
Now, as per its latest revenue report, TSMC has shown a consolidated revenue of NT$127.59 billion (US$4.44 billion) for September 2020 itself. As reported by Digitimes, this is a 3.8% sequential increase which is indeed impressive, mostly soared due to the high demands from its big clients like Apple, AMD, MediaTek and others.
Each year the company is setting new benchmarks because this growth is almost 24.9% YoY. Its revenue totalled to NT$977.72 billion (US$34 billion) for the first nine months of the year. This is almost a 29.9% rise from the same period last year.
TSMC posted total third-quarter revenue for NT$356.43 billion (US$10.48 billion), up by 14.7% compared to the last quarter. This is pretty solid figures, and the company itself never expected this, which predicted a 9.3% sequential increase at the midpoint, however, hit an all-time high.
Now as the 5nm process will be the next big thing for the silicon market, TSMC’s growth will be increasing in the next quarter as well. TSMC seems to be on track to expect its 2020 revenue climb by over 20% year-on-year, this is next-level of growth, truly!

Luis Suarez left FC Barcelona after 6 years since his arrival in 2014. He has won multiple trophies with Barcelona including a treble in 2015. The Latin American trio Messi-Suarez-Neymar [known as ‘MSN’] was one of the best trios in the world.
After Neymar left the Spanish club in 2017, Suarez left the club this season. But Suarez was not happy how this happened. It was reported that the Uruguayan forward is not in the plan of FC Barcelona’s new manager Ronald Koeman from this season. Luis Suarez felt that he should leave for his better future and he joined Atletico Madrid.
But in a recent interview, Luis Suarez has told something which shows a dark side of the Barca board.
Suarez told in an interview with ESPN‘s ’90 Minutes’ on Friday: “There are a lot of contradictions. I would have looked for a solution if it was a financial problem and if it was a sporting issue I could have understood. It is not clear to me why they took the decision they took.”
“I think they wanted to remove me from Messi’s side. Maybe it annoyed them that I had a good relationship with Leo. Perhaps they didn’t want him to be with me so much. I can’t find any reason to think that would damage the team, though.”
“We looked for each other constantly on the pitch, but for the good of the team. Maybe they wanted him to play with more teammates. That could have something to do with it. I can’t find any other reason to want to separate us because we got on well on the pitch.”
Lionel Messi told that he wanted to leave the club. But the Barca board somehow managed to keep him by the contract loopholes.
Suarez said about the matter: “They should have respected his decision to leave.”
“Leo’s aware of what he means to Barcelona. He’s given things to the club you could never imagine. He must carry on being the No.1, being the best and [being] happy.”
“Maybe there’s the possibility that he plays for another club, but if he feels comfortable and happy and a new board comes in, he will want to stay at the club. As a friend, I will be happy if things go well for him there, but also if he has to go to another club.”.
Earlier Messi was critical about Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu. Lui Suarez also supports his friend, Messi. He also criticized Bartomeu for his decisions.
The Uruguayan added: “It really hurt me and my family the way they did it. It wasn’t right. That a coach [Ronald Koeman] comes in and says he doesn’t count on me when the board had already said there were going to be big changes generate doubts. Koeman called me to tell me that I wasn’t in his plans, but I’d known what was coming for 10 days. He just confirmed what I’d seen in the media.”
“I always said the club needed a young striker, but they never brought anyone in to compete with me even. For years, they’ve wanted to bring more forwards because they wanted to kick me out.”
“It had been coming but I at least deserved for them to phone me and explain [why they wanted me gone] before learning of it through the media.”
Barca fans were pissed off with their president. After the Leo incident in the transfer window, they started a protest against Bartomeu. Luis Suarez’s interview can make them more furious at their president.
The Cupertino giant is heavily targeting the world’s second-largest smartphone market after all the China-US trade issues. Apple doesn’t even acquire 1% of the Indian smartphone market share but is genuinely trying to pull customers who have been much attracted to Chinese manufacturers.
Apple Online Store & One Program
Apple has already launched its own online store for the first time and is giving all the care to its customers with a variety of its services. This includes Apple’s recently announced Apple One program that entitles you the access to an entire range of its services like Apple Music, iCloud and others.
While pricing the Apple One service at $14.95 a month in other countries, the company has priced in India the same Individual program for Apple One at just ₹195/month that is about $2.67 only not even a quarter of the original pricing.
On the other hand, the Apple One program for Family will cost just ₹365/month that costs $19.95 a month originally. This indeed proves how Apple is concerned with its sales in the country and plans to bring in more customers towards its own environment.
Apple has deliberately launched its Online Store on the eve of India’s biggest festive season to target people who are looking to upgrade to new phones. Its first big offer announcement comes in the form of offering AirPods for FREE with iPhone 11 this Diwali.
Advertisements
Also, if you are an IPL lover, then you might have seen how much Apple is spending on ads to Hotstar in every match advertisements. This indeed proves Apple is focusing on bringing more iPhone customers and even its new iPad, which also makes sense in a budget-minded country like India.
Off late, Apple is also advertising more about its online store in every form of media like Google AdSense, YouTube, Twitter and wherever they can to churn in Indian fans.
Apple makes its products via third party contractors like Foxconn & Wistron, now they have already applied for Indian Govt’s Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) that entitles them to get 4% to 6% incentive over a five-year period on incremental sales for the manufacturers on a yearly basis.
Now, interestingly all of Apple’s major contractors applied for the scheme and they have already cleared by a high-powered government committee. This included Apple’s primary supplier Foxconn Technology Group, which had submitted two applications, and its peers Wistron Corp. and Pegatron Corp.
Pegatron, who is the second-largest iPhone assembler after Foxconn predominant in China, has registered a subsidiary in India for expanding its manufacturing in the country. Apple even accounts for more than half of Pegatron’s business and if its application is approved, Pegatron will be setting up its first factory in Chennai which will be PLI scheme approved.
Already we are seeing dropped iPhone 11, iPhone XR and iPhone SE prices, so with days things can get even better and Apple can make more iPhones customized for Indian fans. Apple’s latest 8th Gen iPad is already a major hit in the country with stocks getting over as soon as it is available.
It has already partnered with major banks like HDFC bank to gives easy financing options. Along with that, major ties with Flipkart and Amazon has helped them to give deep discounts on the upcoming sales. If things go like this, India will become the next biggest market for Apple in the coming days.
Samsung’s Exynos processor is the core of Samsungs semiconductor manufacturing industry. The chipsets have seen their fair share of market ups and downs this year. With semiconductor wars booming in the tech market. All fabric manufacturers are competing to increase the efficiency and performance of their wafers. But, Exynos processors are still unable to match up to its competitors.
The chipsets have fallen behind several of its competitors, including Qualcomm and MediaTek. Apple’s A13 Bionic still owns not to mention the highest performing processor title. With the A14 Bionic on the verge of being released in the market, Samsung has been under immense pressure to keep its footing in the ever-increasing semiconductor market.
However, Samsung has now decided to move away from the custom cores that they develop in-house and have decided to opt for ARM cores.
Samsung’s China R&D institute announced the new chipset based on an ARM would be dubbed the Exynos 1080. The new ARM-based chipset will debut in the China market but not in a Samsung Smartphone.
The Exynos 1080 Could be a 5nm Chipset
Sources claim that the smartphone which will be the debuting ground for the new chipset is going to be a Vivo branded smartphone. As of now, no details have been revealed about the specs of the smartphone but Exynos 1080 will exclusive for the Chinese market.
It is not really unusual for Samsung as the company has done it before, and this also happens with the camera sensors.
Samsung is also reportedly working on the new Exynos 2100, which will be based on the 5nm process. However, the Exynos 1080 is limited to the Chinese market while the Exynos 2100 will be targeting the global market.
Reports have claimed that the highest performing core on the new Exynos 2100 could go as high as 3.0GHz, which is really fast and can give its competitors a run for their money. However, this is just only a piece of rumoured information, and there is no concrete confirmation available at the moment.
The company’s Exynos 990 has been a major let down, while initially expected to level all its competitors, the processor sure embarrassed Samsung in a big way.
It would be interesting to see whether the Exynos 1080 and the Exynos 2100 could allow Samsung to make a grand comeback. Stay tuned.
FIFA 21 was released globally on 9th October, though the ones who had pre-ordered got access days back. EA Sports has done a good job with FIFA 21 till now but it remains to be seen how they go forward in the coming days.
EA has now revealed the Team of the Week 2 for FIFA Ultimate Team. The Week 2 is headed by Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland along with Lewandowski and Kane.
Starting XI
GK: Thibaut Courtois 90-rated (Real Madrid)
LB: Lucas Hernández 83-rated (Milan)
LB: Ben Chilwell 84-rated (Chelsea)
CB: Lucas Halstenberg 84-rated (RB Leipzig)
CM: Renato Sanches 82-rated (Lille)
LM: Jack Grealish 83-rated (Aston Villa)
LM: Allan Saint-Maximin 83-rated (Newcastle United)
The starting XI player and some substitutes like James and Watkins would be a great addition to your new FUT 21 squad. And, if you somehow end up getting a low-rated player, don’t worry as you can get a handsome amount of coins by selling them quickly. The TOTW 2 players are available for a limited time until TOTW 3 releases.
The summer transfer window may have shut only 5 days ago, but since the winter transfer window opens in only 83 days on January 1st, the transfer updates have seemingly never stopped coming.
Among the many stories that were circulating during the summer transfer window, the Memphis Depay transfer to Barcelona was a particularly strong and realistic one.
That was mainly because Lyon’s president Jean-Michel Aulas had seemingly caved in and confirmed that personal terms between Memphis and Barcelona had been confirmed.
The transfer did not happen during the transfer window gone by, because Barcelona were unable to raise funds to prize the attacker away from France.
Jean-Michel Aulas stated publicly that Memphis was disappointed at Barcelona due to their failure of following through with their promise of financially persuading Lyon to sell the Dutch international to the Spanish giants in an attempt to add depth to the squad.
From the looks of the status quo, Memphis will surely join Barcelona in 83 days at the very least, when the winter transfer window is underway and clubs splash the cash once again.
Memphis has already scored 4 goals in 6 matches for Lyon this season and will be a brilliant addition if, or rather when he reunites with former international team manager Ronald Koeman at Camp Nou.
All that said, Barcelona still have huge names at the club to lead the attack in the form of Messi, Griezmann, Dembele and Coutinho. While the addition of Depay to the current squad could make Barcelona a bigger threat going forward, the current squad is not too bad either.
Despite the loss of star striker Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid earlier this year, Ronald Koeman’s team have coped well. Opting for a complete change in tactics, along with ditching the long-favoured 4-3-3, Barcelona are in a very sensitive place and will have to work hard every week to prove their doubters wrong and move past the horrors of previous seasons.

The highly anticipated FIFA 21 has finally released globally on yesterday. The FIFA fans are quite liking the game at this instance. The gameplay has improved with fluid movements, though the passing has become a bit worse and defending has also become a little tough. Overall, it has been a great game so far and it remains to be seen how EA develops the game as time passes by.
FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) is one of the most played modes in FIFA. So it has been just a few days since all the fans have started their FUT teams.
So, here we will be giving you tips to make your FUT starter teams for around 30,000 FIFA coins. I have chosen Premier League as the foundation of this FUT starter team, mainly because there have been numerous signings made by Premier League clubs so you’ll get a lot of options.
Now, getting starting into the best Premier League FUT starter team under 30k coins. I have used the 4-3-3 formation which is one of the most used formations in real-life modern-day football.
GK: Rui Patricio [3,000 coins]
The Wolverhampton Wanderers’ goalkeeper is one of the cheapest yet highly-rated Premier League goalkeepers in FIFA 21. He has a great diving rating and if you put Cat as chemistry style, his reflexes would also improve, making him the best goalkeeper for your FUT starter team.
RB: Serge Aurier [1,300 coins]
If you’re looking for a cheap RB option who can defend as well as provide runs down the right flank, then Tottenham Hotspur’s Aurier is the right choice. He has great crossing and ball control along with jumping which gives him the trait of power header. The only downside being his injury-prone trait but it won’t bother you as you can apply the healing.
CB: Harry Maguire [2,500 coins]
For your starter FUT team with Premier League players, Maguire fits perfectly into the team. The Manchester United captain has good defending statistics along with great physical strength so he can be a nice defending option. But his pace is low so you should keep him back during attacking or else he can’t chase the opponent’s attackers during counter-attacks.
CB: Kurt Zouma [2,900 coins]
The Chelsea defender is one of the cheapest Premier League defenders with good defending and physical along with pace, which is the rarest yet most desired attribute for a defender. You can pair him with Maguire as he has greater pace than him and would link to your LB, Ben Chilwell as well.
LB: Ben Chilwell [2,000 coins]
Chilwell will provide green links with Zouma, Jorginho and Grealish so he would be the perfect left-back. The newly signed Chelsea left-back is good in defending and can provide great assists from the left flank as well.
CM: Jorginho [2,500 coins]
Coming for as low as 2.5k coins, Jorginho is perfectly fit to give you a defensive cover. He will also form a green link with both your CB and LB, Zouma and Chilwell respectively. He can also be a great penalty taker for your side. Jorginho’s passing is absolutely great and has decent dribbling but he has below par pace. So you can set him as the one who stays back while attacking and provide you with defensive cover against counter-attacks.
CM: Lo Celso [2,100 coins]
Lo Celso is a mandatory buy for your Premier League FUT starter team. He will come around for just 2k coins but the amount of quality he will provide to your midfield is just immense. He has a large number of traits, the maximum I have seen till now in a base player with finesse shot, flair and outside foot shot being a few among all of them.
CAM: James Rodriguez [4,000 coins]
Arguably the best transfer of the Premier League till now, James has added a different dimension to the Everton midfield. Just look at his shooting, passing and dribbling stats in FIFA 21 and you could definitely get the idea how he can be a valuable link connecting the midfield to your attackers. His pace and strength are low but he will compensate with 90+ ratings of long shots, volleys, crossing and ball control. He is a must-buy for your Premier League FUT starter team.
RW: Nicolas Pepe [5,700 coins]
The Ivory Coast winger will give a green link with Aurier which will provide you with great partnership in the right flank. Pepe has great pace attributes so you can use him in counter-attacks as he can glide past defenders at will and also has a finesse shot trait which will help you in cutting inside from the right flank and shooting.
ST: Calvert-Lewin [1,400 coins]
The Everton attacker is the man of the moment having won the Premier League Player of the Month award for September. He will give you a green link with James Rodriguez in CAM and Jack Grealish in LW. He has decent pace and can definitely finish by when you will provide through balls by James or some good crosses by Grealish or Pepe.
LW: Jack Grealish [3,000 coins]
The Aston Villa captain will provide you with two green links, Chilwell at LB and Calvert-Lewin at ST. He will form a great partnership at the left flank and will also provide some terrific assists to Calvert-Lewin. Grealish also has leadership and flair traits which makes him the perfect LW for your starter team.
So, here we come to an end for your Premier League FUT starter team for 30k coins. We’ll be doing FUT teams for other price ranges (FIFA coin) as well so keep an eye here!
The pandemic has struck us hard and change the way our economy operates. Work from Home becoming the new norm of the society, it seems more tech companies are adapting to this new trend. Software giants are competing in the release of cutting edge software, but the problem is whether employees should work in-office or continue to work from home.
However, the Redmond-based Software Giant has given its final verdict on its employee’s working situation.
The software giant has allowed its employees to work from home permanently if they choose. It has become the latest and one of the biggest employer to completely adopt the Work from Home culture brought forth by the pandemic.
Sources claim that Microsoft employees are still working from home as the company doesn’t expect to open its US offices until January 2021, at the earliest.
The new verdict from Microsoft, allows the employers to continue to work from their residence even after the US offices open for operations.
Microsoft’s Chief People Officer Kathleen Hogan stated, “The Covid-19 pandemic has challenged all of us to think, live and work in new ways. We will offer as much flexibility as possible to support individual work styles while balancing business needs and ensuring we live our culture.”
Sources, however, claim that the employees who want to work from home permanently need approval from their managers to do so. However, they can still spend 50% of their week working from their residence without any approval from the management.
However, Microsofts lab technicians or employee trainers are expected to continue working from in-house once the operations resume. They won’t be eligible for Microsofts work from home policy. The company, however, also hinted at the re-location possibility of the employees. But, the windows creator refused to cover their relocation expenses.
Microsoft is not the first tech company to announce a permanent work from home rule; Facebook has already made arrangements for most of its employees to adopt a work from home culture permanently.
How this new culture will affect the tech industry and aid in increasing productivity and creativity remains to be seen.
