AMD Ryzen 9 3900X now available for just $389.99, a great deal over Core i7-10700K & Core i9-10900K

0

Intel has just announced its 10th gen Comet Lake-S Desktop CPUs and they are now being made available in various markets with considerably lower price than the previous generation. But it seems AMD has a solution for this too, the Red team is giving huge discounts on its last-gen Ryzen 3000 desktop CPUs to counter Intel.

Even though being based on its age old 14 nm process, the 10th gen Intel CPUs give superior performance with its high clock speeds and increased core & thread counts. Overall, there’s not much IPC gains or extraordinary improvement in performance like we saw with the Zen 2 based Ryzen 3000 desktop CPUs.

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X and 3100 launched – $120 for 4.3GHz, along with B550 chipset

So, these new Intel CPUs have similar performance to AMD’s at similar to high price than the Red team but does manage to keep its lead when it comes to gaming.

Even though stuffing with as much power and performance Intel could, to its 10-core Core i9-10900K still it falls apart in multi-threaded workloads against the mighty 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X. Overall both the CPUs perform head-to-head while AMD one enjoying that 2 extra cores and threads.

Now, to counter the Blue team, AMD is offering deep discounts to its existing CPUs as well as recently releasing the quad-core monsters Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X. The 12 cores and 24 threaded AMD Ryzen 9 3900X had been priced at $499 at launch which gradually decreased to $449 since then.

It even reached as low as $399 while now, Micro Center is offering the powerful Ryzen 9 3900X for just $389.99 including an additional $20 overall discount if bundled with an eligible motherboard. However, this incredible deal is applicable only for those who purchase the processor in-store or if an online purchase is made with in-store pickup.

But if you do not reside near to any Micro Center store, then you can easily purchase the 3900X for just $415 from here: https://amzn.to/2XlguXc.

This deal is far better than going for an Intel Core i7-10700K available for $387 or the Core i9-10900K at $488 that needs to be paired with a costlier motherboard while the discounted Ryzen 9 3900X can be paired with any good B450 or the upcoming B550 or any cheaper X570 motherboard readily.

AMD Navi 10 Refresh

Instead of going for the smaller Navi 23 based GPU architecture for their budget-end graphics cards, AMD will be opting to refresh its Navi 10 architecture to reduce costs. The AMD Navi 10 XT+ will be replacing the RX 5700 XT, while Navi 10 XM+ will replace the RX 5600M, and the Navi 10 XTE+ will replace the RX 5600 XT, no words on the RX 5500 XT.

If this is so, budget gamers will be disappointed of not experiencing the actual next-gen Navi architecture on low-end GPUs. Hopefully, in coming days we can get some more info about the Navi 23 and Navi 10 Refresh GPUs and their existence.

Pochettino open to managing clubs outside the Premier League top six

0

Mauricio Pochettino had done a wonderful job at Tottenham Hotspur. He reached the Champions League final last season losing only to Liverpool. He has always finished inside the top four in each of his full seasons at Tottenham.

But unfortunately, he was sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho in November 2019 as Tottenham were languishing in the middle of the league table. Pochettino’s managerial talent has never been in doubt. He certainly has many offers on his table but he hasn’t taken up a job since then.

pochettino mourinho

He has been linked to Newcastle United in recent times. Though they are not a top six Premier League club, Pochettino would be happy to take charge, if the project is right.

Pochettino said: “Yes I would (consider anything). Which clubs are the ‘top six’? It changes. Today Tottenham and Arsenal are not in the top six.”

“You need to respect all the clubs because they are working so hard. They are all spending and investing money and have a new strategy every season to try and be in the top six, the top eight or the top four.”

“Today you cannot underestimate any club. They all have the capacity to find a way to be competitive. The main thing is to be happy and be able to put our ideas into practice.”

“Football is not about budgets and money. Of course, they help, but for me it is about sticking with the human capital. After that, everything is possible and you can deal with anything.”

“When you put your objectives down and you start to work for them, you need to be creative and clever in the way you are going to design it. Sometimes, you need to play the same game with different cards.”

pochettino

He further added: “The most important thing is we are ready and open to listen and see what happens. But at the moment, who knows when we are going to be back in football again.”

“Everyone can see the impact it [Coronavirus] is having on the economy and everyone in football is going to be affected. Companies, like football, that provide entertainment are really suffering.”

“It changes the mentality in everyone. I was very scared at the beginning. Health is the most important thing. Our responsibility is to understand the situation and have solidarity because we all participate in this business.”

“That is why it is good Germany starts to play although, of course, every country has a different reality.”

Bundesliga has resumed its season on 16th May and LaLiga is all set to resume on 8th June. Premier League has also placed ‘Project Restart’ into action. Let’s hope the glory days are back soon.

Mario Gotze to leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer

Mario Gotze was once touted as the next big thing in football after he scored the winner against Lionel Messi’s Argentina in extra time at the 2014 World Cup final. He latched onto a Schurrle cross to score the only goal of the final and lift the World Cup trophy for Germany.

It seemed Gotze’s career would reach new heights after the World Cup win. He earned a transfer to Bayern Munich but his time at Allianz Arena is better not to be remembered. He failed to cement his place in the starting XI.

gotze

Gotze returned to Dortmund once again to build his career but he has failed to do so. Borussia Dortmund head coach Lucien Favre earlier said Gotze doesn’t fit into his system.

Favre told the media before Saturday’s Bundesliga match with Wolfsburg: “Right now, we are playing 3-4-3. So, I have been talking to Mario [Gotze], and unfortunately this is not the right system for him. You must say the truth about this.”

Now it has been confirmed by Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc that Gotze will leave this summer.

Zorc said: “We will part ways with Mario [Gotze] this summer. It was a mutual and respectful decision. He’s a great man.”

Maybe finally Gotze will get game time in his new club and once again he can build on his promising career, as very few players can boast of scoring the winning goal on a World Cup final. He surely has the attributes to be successful in top level of football. He just needs to find the right team in which he fits.

LaLiga is all set to resume on 8th June

After 2 months of suspension, there is good news for the LaLiga fans around the globe. The league has been halted since March due to the Coronavirus pandemic. But things are better now.

The Spanish government has given the green light to LaLiga to resume its 2019-20 season. LaLiga is all set to become the second major football league after Bundesliga to resume the season. The second division of Spanish football will also resume.

Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez said: “Spain has done what it should and now new horizons are opening for everyone. The time has come to bring back many day-to-day activities.”

“From 8 June, La Liga will be back. Spanish football has a huge following but it will not be the only recreational activity that will return.”

LaLiga president Tebas wrote on Twitter: “We are very pleased with the decision, it’s the result of great work by clubs, players, coaches… CSD [National Sports Council], agents, etc.”

“But it’s very important to follow the health regulations and to respect the evolution of the pandemic, we can’t lower our guard.”

camp nou

The LaLiga matches will be held behind closed doors just like how the Bundesliga matches are being held now. The matches will also be played throughout the week, unlike only on weekends previously.

Tebas earlier said: “That’s what I hope [to stage matches every day once play resumes]. We shouldn’t have any problems playing on Mondays across the eleven rounds of matches we have left to play.”

“I hope for some sense from the Spanish Football Federation on this because it’s very important for us to be able to give both our national and international broadcasters, and fans across the world, football on as many days as possible to ensure as little disruption as possible.”

UEFA has also voiced their desire for the football leagues to end in July or early August followed by the Champions League final. Bundesliga is also hosting its matches almost every day. LaLiga is hoping to follow its footsteps as well to finish off this season as quickly as possible and then be ready for the next season.

There are 11 rounds of matches still left to play this season for the LaLiga teams. Currently, Barcelona are two points ahead of Real Madrid at the top of the table but the title race this season is expected to go down the wire.

POCO M2 Pro finally received Bluetooth SIG certification, launching soon

0

A few weeks ago before the launch of POCO F2 Pro we came across news that the company is working on a mid-range smartphone dubbed as M2 Pro. Recently a famous tipster commonly known as @stufflistings has shared the image of the Bluetooth SIG certification of the upcoming POCO M2 Pro.

The list mentions the name of the device at with other Redmi Note 9 series. This can also mean that the POCO M2 Pro will be in the similar price segment as the Redmi Note 9 series, though the Redmi Note 9 Pro is the best in the segment, and the POCO smartphone can be more or less similar to that device.

Earlier we have seen that the POCO F2 Pro is almost the same like the Redmi K30 Pro, and now as the M2 Pro is rumored to be the mid-range smartphone so we can expect that it will be similar in both design and specification to the Note 9 Pro.

The Bluetooth certification does not reveal much about the device, just the name is confirmed from this image. The launch date is nearing very fast and there will soon be some more addition in the details with due course of time.
