Chinese administration raises its concerns over the TikTok’s sale to an American company

We all know what’s going to happen to TikTok after September 15 if they don’t hand over their US operations to any homegrown business and for those of them who don’t have any idea, The Trump administration passed an executive order last month that it will be banning TikTok in the United States over the security concerns but TikTok can be saved from this ban if they sell their US business to any American company and several bidders have come into light such as Microsoft, Oracle, and even Twitter has expressed its interest in purchasing TikTok’s US operations but till now we don’t have a name.

Well, China wants to keep it like this since a recent report from Reuters suggests that Chinese authorities believe that selling even US’ operations of TikTok after a forced ban threat from the White House would reflect China as a weak country and according to few unknown sources that can’t be afforded and the Chinese administration would prefer closing down the app instead of bowing down in front of the United States.

Not only this but there are high chances that China can block the deal on their end in accordance with a recent revision to the list of technology exports that will prevent TikTok’s recommendation algorithm from crossing the borders and it seems like TikTok and the potential buyers have kept this in mind so according to sources they are actively looking out for another way to get around this.

TikTok is surely not having the best year just like us since its getting outrage from every country over its security concern and its relations to Chinese authorities but TikTok even tried to clear out the air after the India ban but it didn’t help it a much then CEO Kevin Mayer left the company over the political issues and now this ban in the US is hovering above its head so this all looks like the end of TikTok in the west but who knows what is going to happen so it will be best to wait till September 15.

If China is so against the purchase of TikTok US’ operation by an American company then it seems highly unlikely that they’ll be approving its sale to an Indian company since the relation between the India and China has not been the best since last few months so chances are high that TikTok might not be coming back to India soon or maybe never.

Sony PS5 to be officially announced on 16th September

0

The day that almost all PlayStation fabs have been waiting for has finally arrived as Sony will be launching its next-gen gaming console on 16th September. Announced via its official blog, Sony will be hosting the event from 1:00 PM PDT and they have written:

“Before PlayStation 5 launches this holiday, we wanted to give you one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!).

Our next digital showcase will weigh in at around 40 minutes, and feature updates on the latest titles from Worldwide Studios and our world-class development partners.”

Sony reveals the futuristic PS5 officially

Apart from announcing the game that are coming to PS5, we could expect Sony to announce the pricing of the next-gen consoles as Microsoft has amazed the world with both of its Xbox Series S and Series X at an attractive pricing of $299 and $499. So, Sony can actually take a price cut to counter Xbox somehow and bring more exclusive games as well.

Already, Sony have given a chance to their existing users with ‘US-based address’ to pre-order and reserve a PS5 console as Sony claims there’s a limited quantity of PS5 available. However, it will be interesting to see how Sony counters Microsoft’s lucrative Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox All Access program on 16th September.

Like the Microsoft Xbox consoles, the Sony PS5 will be powered by AMD hardware and here’s what you can expect from it:

  • Key features: Up to 8K resolution, 4K games at 60 fps, ray tracing, fast-loading SSD, up to 120 frames per second.
  • Specs: 8-core 3.5 GHz AMD Zen 2 CPU, 10.3 teraflop AMD RDNA 2 GPU, 16 GB GDDR6 memory, 825 GB custom SSD
  • Key games: Horizon II Forbidden West, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon, Souls, Gran Turismo 7, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Sack Boy A Big Adventure.
  • DualSense Controller: A new design and two-tone look, reduced weight while retaining a strong battery inside, new adaptive triggers into the L2 and R2 buttons, a new ‘Create’ button

Folding iPhones are now one step closer to reality

As we know Apple’s quite busy with iPhone 12 lineup but that doesn’t mean that they are not keeping up with the trend or even looking news these days or if you’re thinking they are just working on this year’s iPhone then my friend you’re wrong as Apple has been working on the folding iPhone something similar to Samsung’s Fold Z.

According to a tipster named IceUniverse, Apple is currently in talks with Samsung to supply a large number of sample units of foldable phone screens and “hopes to exclusively supply the amount for one year”. Well, this means only one thing that Apple is currently experimenting with the foldable since a folding iPhone is far from reality as of now.

gsmarena 001 4 Folding iPhones are now one step closer to reality

According to various sources, Apple is currently toying around with the design and nothing is final as of now and they are not even sure whether it should be even released or not. Two patents have been leaked so far which visualizes the folding iPhone idea into two totally different ways. In one of the patents, it is being shown as two displays stuck together with a hinge something like Surface Duo while in the other one it has a design similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold.

Earlier this year, Jon Prosser has also shared a bit about the folding iPhone which sounded much like the first prototype the one like Surface Duo but they aren’t exactly like that as he describes it to be continuous and seamless.

One thing we know for sure is that Apple won’t be releasing any product till its perfect whether its a normal iPhone or a folding one and current news only suggests that Apple is just exploring the possibilities and a tech giant like Apple is known for experimenting years before even the device gets to see the light so we will suggest you to not get happy and wait for a year or two to see it happening in real.

Tiri returns to ATK Mohun Bagan FC

Spanish defender Jose Luis Espinosa Arroyo, known as Tiri, has signed a new one-year contract with ATK Mohun Bagan FC. Tiri has returned back to the club after spending 3 seasons with Jamshedpur FC.

Tiri was a part of ATK in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. He was also the part of the ISL winning ATK team in 2016. After that, he joined Jamshedpur FC and played there for two seasons. In his four seasons in Indian Super League, the defender has played in 68 matches scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist.

Tiri is one of the best defenders of the league. His performance for his teams was always on top in the last couple of seasons.

Tiri started his senior professional career with the CĂĄdiz club in Spain. After that, he joined Spanish giant Atletico Madrid in 2012 and played for their B team till 2015. In 2016 he made his ISL debut with ATK and was crowned champion in his first ISL season.

Intel Core i7-1185G7 vs AMD Ryzen 7 4700U benchmarks – Intel beats AMD

0

Recently Intel launched their 10nm based 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake CPUs with a lot of promise to beat AMD, however, their benchmarks weren’t that much convincing enough as they never used standard benchmark tools like Geekbench or Cinebench. However, today, a bunch of new Geekbench 5 scores of the new Intel Tiger Lake flagship Core i7-1185G7 on an MSI machine has surfaced up, and thanks to @TUM_APISAK for spotting.

So, comparing the upcoming Intel flagship CPU with the current AMD flagship APU is a fair thing and I have a Ryzen 7 4700U APU on my laptop as Ryzen 7 4800U has not yet landed in India. So, when compared a 4 cores/ 8 threads CPU to an 8 core/ 8 threads APU, the difference is huge and far beyond my expectation.

Intel Tiger Lake lineup for laptops announced: up to 4.8GHz turbo confirmed

As we know the new Core i7-1185G7 will feature a base clock of 3.0 GHz along with a boost clock speed of up to 4.8 GHz, and it has been confirmed recently. Also, the CPU has a lot of cache memory – 5 MB of L2 cache and 12 MB of L3 cache, all of this in a 15W standard TDP package which is configurable up to 28W (PL1). 

While the Ryzen 7 4700U with all its 8 cores and 8 threads has a 2.0GHz base and 4.1 GHz boost clock speed along with 4MB L2 cache and 8MB L3 cache. So, I know the comparison would be fare enough with the Ryzen 7 4800U, whose highest score I have also included as well:

So, as we see with that massive 4.8GHz boost clock speed, the Intel Core i7-1185G7 managed to grab a massive 1610 points in single-core and with just 4 cores & 8 threads has managed to grab 6113 points in multi-core tests. On the other hand, the Ryzen 7 4700U with 8 cores and 8 threads managed to grab 1137 points in single-core and 5136 points in multi-core tests, suggesting a clear and comfortable win for Intel.

Now, if the new Core i7-1185G7 is compared with AMD’s true flagship Ryzen 7 4800U, the average single-core score is around the same 1150 points and 6500 points in multi-core tests. So, AMD still leads in multi-core benchmarks while losing to Intel when it comes to single-core tests like its brother Ryzen 7 4700U, however, one thing is evident, the competition is heating up!

One advantage that Intel has this time against AMD is the new Intel Xe graphics that is said to be much more superior to that of AMD’s and if Intel can price these new Tiger Lake CPUs well, it can again show its performance supremacy to a lot of consumers.

AMD Zen 3 based Ryzen 4000 ‘Vermeer’ CPUs specs leaked

0

The next-gen CPUs from AMD have been confirmed to launch on October 8 and now much expectedly the specs of it have been leaked to give us some insights about the performance these CPUs. Based on TSMC’s 7nm+ EUV process, the Zen 3 architecture is said to be a much-improved one than Zen 2, which was already a revolutionary step from AMD.

The information that has been received by Wccftech is part of confidential AMD documents shared by CyberCatPunk. As we all know the AMD Vermeer Desktop CPUs or Ryzen 4000 based on Zen 3 microarchitecture will be known as the AMD Family 19h Model 21h B0. So, as per the document, these Vermeer CPUs will be designed to use in high-performance desktop platforms.

It will be featuring up to two CCD’s (Core/Cache Complex Dies) along with a single IOD (I/O Die). Until last-gen, a single CCD comprised of two CCX’s (Core Complexes), however, in the case of Zen 3 CCD, it will consist a single CCX that will feature up to 8 cores running either in a single-thread mode (1T) or a two-thread model (2T) for up to 16 threads per CCX.

A chip will have a maximum of two CCDs, so the core and thread count will be maxed out to 16 cores and 32 threads only, same as the existing flagship Ryzen 9 3950X desktop CPU. Each of these Zen 3 cores will feature 512 KB of L2 cache to make a total of 4 MB of L2 cache per CCD and apart from it, each of the CCD will also comprise up to 32 MB of shared L3 cache. All of these Zen 3 cores can share a larger amount of L3 cache.

AMD will be introducing a slightly improved scalable data fabric with Zen 3 cores with support up to 512 GB per DRAM channel or up to 1 TB of ECC DRAM. For the memory interface, these Ryzen 4000 Vermeer desktop CPUs will still have DDR4-3200 speeds. However, there will be 2 unified memory controllers on the CPU, and each of them will be supporting one DRAM channel for a total of 2 DIMMs per channel. You can check all of the leaked specs from Wccftech.

AMD Zen 3 based Ryzen 4000 ‘Vermeer’ CPUs specs leaked

Also, as per rumors, the Zen 3 architecture will bring almost 15-17% IPC uplift than last-gen which is incredible considering the fact that Zen 2 was already a fast one. So, this time you can expect AMD CPUs going as high as 5GHz officially to give Intel a stiff competition on the single-core frequency along with a 50% increase in Zen 3’s floating-point operations & a major cache redesign.

Ok, you won’t have to wait much longer for that as AMD will formally announce these on October 8, and with any info about these Ryzen 4000 Vermeer CPUs, we will keep you informed.
