The Red team has been storming the CPU world with its fast Zen-based CPUs and struggling to compete NVIDIA’s high-end GPUs and its incredible host of technologies. Though AMD still remains the only company to deliver superior CPU and GPU performance for over a decade now.
Now, AMD has always stressed on the fact of reducing latencies between the CPU, GPU cores via various technologies referred to as Infinity Fabric for Zen-based CPUs. However, AMD plans to make its GPUs even more powerful with Big Navi, launching on October 28th.
Thanks to @momomo_us for sharing this new trademark from AMD where we clearly see the mention of AMD INFINITY CACHE. The trademark has been issued by Justia Trademark, and this raises new speculations that whether AMD will be using this new Infinity Cache on their upcoming Radeon graphics cards.
It doesn’t seem impossible because AMD has delayed the launch of its GPUs by 20 days for some reason, maybe for trademark or something else. However, this new trademark does excite a lot of AMD fans who are waiting for the revolutionary RDNA 2 GPUs.
Previously, the trusted YouTuber, RedGamingTech also mentioned about the Infinity Cache earlier, now with this solid leak, AMD’s plans seem to make some sense. Although this will be a thing to anticipate if AMD uses this on its upcoming RDNA 2 GPUs.

Apple, the tech giant whose GDP surpasses more than 80% of world countries, including our own. It is undoubtedly the largest tech company in the current era. The Cupertino giant is known mainly for its iPhone devices and MacBook PCs, but it is not just limited to manufacturing mobile devices. It is much wider spread and owns various subsidiaries, expanding its reach towards every tech genre.
So, what happens when you cheat Apple?
I mean that as a serious question. It would help if you literally had strong guts to even plan of cheating against such a big organization. Let’s say your plan of committing a fraud against the Cupertino giant went as planned, and you completed your task. But what happens when apple discovers you? What do you think will be the consequence?
It’s pretty simple, really. You will be fined with Billions of dollars of Lawsuit by the company. One such thing happened with Geep Canada, Apples’ very own recycling partner.
The Cupertino giants lawsuit claims that Geep Canada sold approximately 100,000 iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches, which interestingly were sent to the company to be stripped down and recycled.
Apple is committed to environmental conservation, and its various environmental policies are no joke. The company has been trying every year to increase how much it recycles. The company is even attempting to move the recycling of its products in-house. But for now, it has to depend on recyclers like Geep Canada to carry out the task.
Interestingly, Apple claims of its 100,000 devices being stolen are not denied by Geep, but the recycler has still filed a countersuit to protect itself. In its lawsuit, the company claims that three ‘rogue’ employees carried out the theft without the company’s knowledge.
But, Apple claims that the three in question are the senior management staff at the firm. According to sources, Apple filed its lawsuit in January 2020, while Geep Canada filed its countersuit in July. The case has only been made public recently.
What does Apples suit claim?
Apple claims that it shipped 531,966 iPhones to Geep Canada for recycling between January 2015 and December 2017. Along with it, the company also sent 25,673 iPads and 19,277 Apple Watches.
When the company audited the recycler’s warehouse, some of its devices were being stored away.
Upon discovering that any security cameras did not cover the alleged secret storage areas, the Cupertino giant then checked the serial numbers of all devices it had shipped to the company. It claimed that approximately 18% or 103,845 of all the devices were discovered to be active on carrier networks.
Apple stated, “At least 11,766 pounds of Apple devices left GEEP’s premises without being destroyed – a fact that GEEP itself confirmed“.
What’s Geep’s Stance?
The recycler is reportedly searching for the three employees responsible for the theft. This is to make them pay for damages and costs the company suffered. If Apple wins, Geep needs to pay $22.7 million US, which will be a huge loss for the recycling firm. The company has already lost Apple as its customers, which is a loss in millions of dollars every year. Add the lawsuit fine claimed by Apple on top of it; the recycling firm might be headed towards dark ages.
Our Take
Geeps website states that the company’s mission is to “encourage reuse whenever possible.” But, it’s still not OK to sell resell the devices just because one encourages reuse over recycling. The products belong to apple, they belong to some other company.
Just because products can be sold on the grey market, it doesn’t make them comply with the re-sell policy of apple but of every other device manufacturers in the world. If the resold products are not rebuilt with counterfeit parts, it results in serious electrical and battery defects.
Consumer safety is more important than making profits!
One of Italy’s long sought after young talents will be moving to Juventus. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Bianconeri are making a move for 22-year-old winger Federico Chiesa from Fiorentina.
Although a last few details remain to be negotiated and sorted, it is understood the deal will go through in time before the transfer window deadline. The specifics of the operation are a little different and complex here.
Apparently, Juventus will take Chiesa on loan for two seasons, paying a loan fee of €2 million for the first and €8 million for the second. And in the third season, contingent on certain clauses, Chiesa could move permanently to Juventus for a €40 million fee on an obligation to buy requirement.
Federico Chiesa is now one step away from joining Juventus! Last details to be sorted tonight then… here we go!
Douglas Costa will join Bayern, De Sciglio will join OL > Juve will sign Chiesa on loan with obligation to buy. Confirmed. 🤝⚪️⚫️ https://t.co/x8COpQe9bj
The only issue with that move is Chiesa’s current contract with Fiorentina expires in 2022. And so if Juventus are to trigger the obligation to buy clause, they will need him to sign a new extension with Fiorentina so that the money can legally be transferred to them from Juventus.
Regardless of the footballing side of things, Chiesa will provide a sense of freshness to a somewhat stagnated Juventus attack. Possessing an ability to play on both flanks, he has great technical skills as well as an eye for goal. Primarily a right-winger, he will be expected to start games with another new recruit Dejan Kulusevski acting as competition for his place.
Chiesa has been quite a consistent player in the Serie A. Last season, he scored 10 goals and provided 6 assists in 34 appearances for Fiorentina. And as Juventus undergo an overhaul under new head coach Andrea Pirlo, they are also strengthening the youth squad with players for the future. It could potentially prove to be a deadline day game-changer, as Juventus seek to win yet another Scudetto and go far in the Champions’ League this season.

Google has recently announced its Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G. Moreover, Google Pixel 5 is already up for pre-orders. But the actual sale of those has some more time to start. If we compare both the phones from Google, we find that both of them look quite similar. But if we observe very carefully, then we can find some key differences between the Google Pixel 5 and the Google Pixel 4a 5G. For example, Pixel 4a 5G has slightly thicker bezels that include a speaker grill embedded in it. But in the case of Pixel 5, there is no such speaker grill and secondly, the all-around bezels are really thinner than Pixel 4a 5G.
It is a great improvement by the company to use relatively thinner bezels at the top. Because if we compare it with its previous generation flagships (Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL), the top bezel on the Pixel 4 series is much thicker as it houses the deleted Soli radar chip and facial recognition cameras as well as a top speaker. Google has recently published the outline diagrams regarding the key features of Pixel 5. In terms of the speaker grill, this is a great improvement too. Pixel 5 will sport an under-display speaker which is really interesting.
According to the advertisements of Google, this phone will deliver “Stereo” sound as the under-display speaker is joined by a downward-firing speaker tucked underneath the Pixel 5’s bottom bezel. As of now, it is not clear how this speaker technology will work and whether it is similar to the way the LG G8 ThinQ used the display to emit sound. We have to wait some more time to hear what the sound quality of the Pixel 5 is like.
Everton have had one of the best summer transfer windows of all the Premier League clubs this season. The list of signings goes on for the toffees as they have successfully negotiated the signing of Norway City centre-back Ben Godfrey for a fee rumoured to be in the region of £25 million.
The sum of money paid could rise to as high as £30 million with add-ons which would make Godfrey the most expensive Norwich City sale of all time.
✍️ | Ben Godfrey has signed for #EFC from Norwich City for an undisclosed fee, penning a five-year deal until the end of June 2025.
Although the Canaries were relegated back to the Championship at the end of that 19/20 season, Ben Godfrey enjoyed an impressive spell at the back. He has now been prized away from Norwich, to Ancelotti’s Everton which looks like a side well worth finishing at least in the top 6.
Godfrey becomes the fifth signing for Don Carlo’s Everton, with the likes of James Rodriguez, Allan, Niels Nkounkou and Abdoulaye Doucoure already having signed for the Toffees.
During his time at Norwich City, Godfrey was one of their most vital players and was key to their promotion to the Premier League on the back of the 18/19 season. He has captained the England U21 team and under Ancelotti, he could become a star in the top flight of English football.
Rumours linked Everton with Barcelona’s Jean-Clair Todibo throughout the summer, but the Merseyside club told Barcelona that they were not interested in the 20-year-old.
The signing of Godfrey officially pulls Everton out of the race for the young French defender, whom Barcelona desperately want to offload this season.
Godfrey has signed a five year contract with the Merseyside blues and will see his contract with the club run until 2025.
Everton have won all four of their opening games this season, taking three points against the likes of Tottenham, West Brom, Crystal Palace and Brighton in very impressive displays and look like a team transformed under Ancelotti.
