Its been a year since AMD launched their revolutionary Ryzen 3000 desktop CPUs and since then the Red team has never looked back, they were already dominating in sales, after the 7nm debut, AMD started dominating the market share as well. Intel who enjoyed a lion’s share even in 2017, when the first Ryzen CPU was launched, was nowhere near AMD in April 2020 Mindfactory(a German retail outlet) CPU sales.
Now, it turns out after the launch of 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake-S desktop CPU sales, Intel did gather some amount of customers, not enough to overturn the market which is still dominated by the Red team. As per August 2020 CPU sales, thanks to the likes of the Redditor @ingebor who have posted the chart which clearly shows that AMD has an 84% share thanks to the likes of its Ryzen 3000 XT, Ryzen 3000 & Ryzen 2000 CPU sales.
AMD now enjoys a wide variety of high-end desktop CPUs, budget APUs and mid-range CPUs that help them give every consumer the CPU they want to go with. However, if you go by sales figure, AMD has constantly enjoyed a steady 25,000 units that are driven by the likes of its best-selling CPUs like Ryzen 5 3600, Ryzen 5 3600X, Ryzen 7 3700X, and Ryzen 9 3900X.
On the other hand, Intel has generously got some market share after April steadily, getting as much as 16% market share thanks to the likes of Core i5-9400F, Core i9-9900K and Core i5-10600K. This itself says a lot about people’s choice whether be it for domestic or professional use, AMD is still ruling with its Ryzen 3000 CPUs even after a year.
If this was not enough for Intel, AMD is dropping the Zen 3 bomb next month with new Ryzen 4000 Vermeer CPUs on October 8, mark your calender, AMD’s reply to Intel’s 10th Gen is coming!

It was ultimately the fate of Luis Saurez to leave the club but not like this way as Koeman remains stubborn to not include the Uruguyuan in the squad to face Nastic. So, his move to some other club gets confirmed with this squad selection anyway.
Among the 25 men squad, almost all major names like Messi and even Coutinho is included. However, only the two departures in form of Luis Saurez and Arturo Vidal have not been selected which suggests they will surely be leaving the club before the season starts.
On one hand, Arturo Vidal is all set to join Inter as a free agent to meet his favorite coach Antonio Conte whereas Luis Saurez’s next possible destination as for now seems Juventus. Affording Saurez would not be an easy task though, however, the Italian giants seemed to have made their arrangements.
Juventus is now considering signing Saurez to replace Gonzalo Higuain, who is all set to join Inter Miami. So, soon Saurez, after playing years alongside Messi, will be pairing up with Ronaldo at Turin in the coming days.
Apple seems to skip one of the key specs usual during 2020 in its upcoming iPhone 12 Pro models which are started shipping in October. One noted tipster named Jon Prosser recently confirmed his fans that the iPhone 12 Pro models will not be equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate displays. Among the flagship handsets, it’s the only brand, then, to enter 2021 with 60Hz displays. Whether this will affect sales or not, well, only time has the answer.
120hz (codename: d6x) didn’t make mass production 😞
In the market, there were rumors that Apple got 120Hz panels, but now it’s clear the driver ICs need not to deliver variable refresh rates. Having a variable refresh rate is good to preserve battery life, though. A few days back, Samsung shipped its Galaxy Note 20 Ultra with the variable rate 120Hz Super AMOLED display using ‘Variable Frequency’ technology.
Apple is very much strict to pick up components to use its products and there can be so many reasons behind that including the product pricing. Other than that, Apple may get parts it needs from other display suppliers than Samsung, like LG and BOE.
Jadon Sancho is linked with Manchester United from the very first day of this transfer window. The Red Devils were negotiating with Borussia Dortmund for a long time but haven’t yet to come to a full agreement.
Borussia Dortmund wants to sell the English winger but not less than €120m which is too much according to the Manchester United board. United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward believes Dortmund has been inconsistent in their attitude towards selling Sancho.
According to The Daily Star, Jadon Sancho is no longer wanted even if United found that €120M.
The Daily Star said, “Woodward knows the clock is ticking before the transfer window closes on October 5 and could now turn to Juventus’ Douglas Costa, Atletico Madrid ace Joao Felix or even pursue a deal to sign Real Madrid outcast Gareth Bale.”
Joao Felix joined Atletico Madrid last season for a €126M move from Benfica. It was surely a surprising claim by The Daily Stars. Moreover, he is much more a player of number 10 position than a winger. But his addition will surely upgrade the squad depth.

Douglas Costa was also linked with Manchester United at some stages of this transfer window. The Brazilian is a very talented player and full of skills. But his injury issues are a back-draw in his career. The 29-year-old winger has missed 4 months of the 2019/20 season and 6 months of the 2018/19 season due to various problems including calf and hamstring issues.
Same goes for Wales winger Gareth Bale. He is much more injury-prone than Douglas Costa. There is also a huge salary issue with Gareth Bale. Some reports in Europe claims that his current club Real Madrid would be willing to pay half of his salary to any club willing to buy the winger.
United is going to start their Premier League campaign next week against Crystal Palace at home. This can be a very important week for them to sign some of their targets.
When you are in the home screen of FIFA 20, you’ll find a bar at the top right corner. It shows the XP and the Football Club Credits (FCC) which you have earned during your time with FIFA.
When you click the right stick you will be redirected to the EA Sports Football Catalogue where you could redeem your FCC to buy FIFA rewards.
The EA Sports Football Catalogue was initially created for FIFA 13. It was introduced to reward people who put time into the game. At one point of time, EA had put FUT Coin reward boosts in the rewards, but some players exploited a glitch that let them earn more coins than they were supposed to, so EA disabled that FUT coin rewards in February 2014. EA eventually pulled Ultimate Team items from the catalogue entirely for FIFA 20.
But for FIFA 21, EA has decided to drop this entire feature, EA Sports Football Catalogue.
The EASFC Catalogue is not returning for FIFA 21, and most of its items have been redistributed to the corresponding areas of the game. More details are available on EA Help. https://t.co/k7sHVPBgAb
You can still increase your EASFC level, earn Football Club Credits (FCC), and redeem items in previous FIFA versions that have this feature.
Most of the items that were traditionally redeemable from the Catalogue have been redistributed to other areas of the game in FIFA 21 in order to make them more easily accessible.
Where to find the items previously available in the Catalogue:
Boots and balls – available by default when released through Title Updates and activated by Server Release updates.
MLS All-Star Team/Adidas All-Star Team and Kits – available to everyone in Kick Off.
Online Seasons Win/Draw/Extra Match – available in the Online Seasons Menu, and can be redeemed once per Season with no total limit.
Financial Takeover – is a setup option when creating a new Career Mode save.
Career Mode Rematch – is part of the Manager Career Mode end of match experience as an option.
Scout Future Star – the item is no longer available but each Manager Career Mode save will feature a populated Youth Academy from the start.
Other previously available Catalogue items, including the Manager/Player Career Focused Training, Co-Op Seasons Win/Draw/Extra Match, and International Manager Offer are not in FIFA 21.
Miralem Pjanic recently arrived in Barcelona and was late to join the squad as he was suffering from COVID-19 and having got the green lights from the PCR tests, the player has joined the Barca squad for training for the first time.
On the other hand, the French center back Jean-Clair Todibo who was out for loan also was suffering from COVID-19 and took some time to rejoin. So, he also got the green light to continue training at the Ciutat Esportiva.
As we see both the players going through individual training today, however, after some days they will surely rejoin the others. Meanwhile, today, Barcelona under Koeman will play their first friendly against Nastic.
Both Pjanic and Todibo can help to strengthen the team defensively as Koeman is rumored to use the two defensive midfield setup. The board previously wanted to sell Todibo to Schalke, now, in this situation, this will be a thing to look out for.
