Although Gareth Bale is linked with a move away from Madrid every summer, this one seems different. In an interview with Sky Sports, the Welshman all but confirmed him wanting to leave the club. He leaned towards the idea of being unappreciated at Real, and you can’t truly blame the man for it.
The most interesting detail confirmed by the winger was the fact that Real blocked his exit last summer. Add to that the fact that he has also said that he is open to returning to the Premier League, and you have a fair share of clubs linked with him.
Here are 3 reasons why Bale would be a great signing for the Red Devils.
The thing that makes this time around different is the fact that Real are actually willing to pay 50% of his wages to send him out on loan. In addition, they are also willing to accept a rather nominal fee for his departure.
Naturally, when you have a Premier League club linked with a player, Man U are always interested. Here is where the case becomes believable despite his 600,000 Euros-per-week wages.
Manchester United need quality on the right-wing. Add to that the fact that they can afford to pay half of his wages, and you have a solid transfer story. Only this one could actually go down as a great move.
James Cooper: "When I spoke to someone this morning about Gareth Bale it wasn't 'this is nonsense, forget Gareth Bale'. He's certainly an option for #mufc but under those restrictions – a loan deal rather than a permanent deal." #mulive [sky]

Gareth Bale is the player that can give Ole exactly what his team needs – Quality. The Wales international has won four Champions League titles with Real Madrid and has proven his quality on the pitch time and time again.
When he wants to play, Gareth Bale is one of the best in the world. His pace, skill and accuracy on the ball make him a threat wherever he may play.
He has a great deal of experience and is still in his best years as a footballer. Moreover, he has the ability to deliver under pressure. Something that Man U need very badly.
While it comes in last, in the case of Bale it is probably the most important. He has publicly admitted that he doesn’t feel appreciated at Real. That is something that could be sorted out given the passionate fans at Old Trafford.
He had impressed heavily in his time at Tottenham, and can probably do much more now than he did before.
Manchester United could be the place where Bale gets the environment that he needs to thrive and deliver world-class performances every week.

Microsoft lost to Oracle in a bid to acquire Tik-Tok in the US. The Chinese owner of the video-sharing platform chose oracle as its technology partner in American operations.
Trump administration has set 20th September as the deadline for SoftByte. Before which the company was to sell its US operations to an American business else it would be banned from the US market.
Microsoft on Sunday released an official statement citing, “Chinese owner of Tik-Tok ByteDance has informed it that they would not be selling Tik-Tok’s US operations to Microsoft”.
Oracle acquiring tik-top doesn’t mean the video-streaming apps outright to sell to the US company. It simply means that oracle will help tik-top to run its US operations while using its own cloud technologies.
The next step to finalize the deal is for the white house and the committee on foreign investment in the US to approve the deal. It is reported that all the parties involved are satisfied with the concerns which were previously raised by the US government. They believe this deal will clear the data insecurity issue for which the streaming app was blamed earlier.
The latest concern now, however, is the new regulations issued by the Chinese government last month. The regulations would indiscriminately bar TikTok from transferring its technology to any foreign buyer without explicit permission from the Chinese government.
As such they deal is sure to become another geopolitical pinata between the US and China.
Oracle, unlike other technology companies, oracle has always cultivated close relations with the Trump administration.
The previous month, the US president said that he would support Oracle in buying TikTok. He even praised the company calling it great and said that the company could successfully run TikTok.
Oracle has not yet disclosed what it would do with TikTok’s underlying technology. But it would be interesting to see how oracle would address users’ privacy and content filtering in TikTok.

Its been just a few days since Intel launched its revolutionary Tiger Lake U series mobile CPUs with the revolutionary Intel Xe graphics, now, its H series gaming CPUs have also been confirmed. Intel’s Boyd Phelps, Corporate Vice President of Client Computing Group announced this via Medium.
This should give a significant boost to Intel’s gaming line of processors, however, they will be coming in 2021. Still, a lot of insights have been shared about there CPUs whose TDP will be in the range of 35-45W and the max number of cores offered will be 8 cores.
Much like its brothers with 15-25W TDPs, these gaming processors will also be based out of the 10nm process and use the SuperFin transistors for better performance and efficiency. Tiger Lake now offers a re-designed middle-level cache of 1.25 MB along with high clock speeds even at the lower thermal envelope.
So, there will be lot of new features shared by the Tiger Lake family including Thunderbolt™ 4, PCIe Gen4 for direct-attached SSD, and support for multiple double data rate (DDR) technologies from LP4, DDR4, to LP5 and larger caches. The use of Willow Cove cores helps to get a good amount of IPC uplift from last-gen and much higher single-core and all-core turbo frequencies.
Intel has also added also a 3MB non-inclusive last-level-cache (LLC) per core slice. A single core workload gets access to the 12MB of LLC in the 4-core die while up to a massive 24MB in the 8-core die configuration, that boost frequency even further.
Well, one of the biggest concerns with the 10th Gen Comet Lake-H series was the inefficient 14nm cores that drew a lot more power and used to get hot.
However, with Tiger Lake-H CPUs, things are about to change as Intel promises to deliver an increase in battery life, the improved voltage at a frequency in every domain, autonomous dynamic voltage frequency scaling to the high-speed fabric and memory subsystems. I like this effort personally and if this quote by Intel really comes true then it will be great:
“People will enjoy improved performance and a better experience on nearly every key battery life workloads, such as 4K video playback and browsing.
Speeds and feeds are great, but the full experience is enhanced. People will enjoy better system responsiveness, instant resume time, and long battery life throughout their day with minimal disruption, in sleek, modern form factors.”
This kind of approach by the business-minded Intel can bring a smile to a lot of enthusiasts out there. However, this approach should have been taken a lot earlier, at least they would not have lost Apple then, thanks to AMD that has driven Intel to go down this road.
Intel will still equip these CPUs with their own Xe graphics based on their new Xe-LP architecture that has increased the execution unit (EU) count from 64 to 96. Already these iGPUs have shown great performance when it comes to gaming or benchmarks and should enable even better performance on a higher TDP chip. Intel even promising 1080p, 30 FPS experience on popular, top-tier titles, and even more.
Tiger Lake-H will also support up to four concurrent 4k60 HDR displays and can easily support emergent 8K resolution displays. These CPUs come with the first IPU generation with an imaging pipeline fully implemented in hardware. So, Intel will provide support of 4K30 video and 27 megapixels still image with the architectural capability to scale in the future to as high as 4K90 and 42 megapixels.
These new 10nm based gaming processors will also bring a lot of I/O and connectivity improvements as well including multiple Type-C integrated ports supporting Thunderbolt 4, USB4, PCIe, and multiple display ports. These processors will support faster RAM speeds of LP4–4267 and DDR4–3200 along with LP5–5400 support when it arrives in 2021.
Intel’s WI-FI-6 (802.11ax) will come integrated on the chip die itself, enabling 3x higher peak data rates and up to 4x capacity improvement over the prior standard. Interesting features like audio, voice, and speech recognition will find space and help enable USB or BT audio offload.
Also, there is an upgraded wake on voice capability that not only supports Cortana and Alexa voice assistants but also aligning with Microsoft speech standard multi-voice assistant. The Tiger lake PCH has integrated 4th generation converged security and manageability engine to ensure the security of laptops.
The new GNA 2.0 engine allows multiple AI capabilities like efficient speech recognition, dictation, and noise cancellation with low power consumption. The new Willow Cove cores support the vector neural network instructions for general-purpose AI programming at even greater efficiency than last-gen.
Overall, on paper the upcoming 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake-H mobile gaming processors looks very promising and I like the fact Intel has skipped Ice Lake used its much improved Tiger Lake for their next gen gaming processors. Finally in 2021 we might see even more improved Intel gaming laptops with mobile GeForce RTX 30 GPUs.
While from AMD you could expect Radeon RX 6000M series (RDNA2 based) GPUs and Ryzen 5000H Cezanne APUs, honestly I am looking forward to 2021 as a great leap in mobile coming computing! Do leave your thoughts in the comments down below…😉

Xiaomi is going to add a new member to its Mi 10 series which is a new member Mi 10T Pro. Recently, a couple of leaks are out in the media showing some of the specifications about this phone and color variants too. Yesterday tipster Abhishek Yadav has twitted all the specifications of this upcoming smartphone. Let’s check out the configurations and specifications of this Mi 10T Pro.
According to the tipster, the main attraction of the phone will be its 108MP camera. You can click some really sharp and clear images using this sensor and can raise your photography to another level. The phone also offers two types of storage configurations up to 256GB. Now coming to the color variants. This phone will be offered in four different color variants: black, grey, light blue, and silver.
The phone will come with a model number of M2007J3SG. Regarding the display, the phone sports a 6.67″ IPS Full HD display with 144Hz of refresh rate.
If we enlighten the camera part, the Mi 10T Pro has a triple rear back camera include- 108MP of the main shooter alongside 20MP of a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens of 8MP. The rear camera lenses are aligned in a rectangular module with a flash at the top left on the backside of the phone. On the front side, the phone has a punch-hole designed cutout at the top left corner on the screen to hold the selfie camera with 20MP lenses.
Under the hood will be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 856 with Adreno 650. The SoC will be equipped with an 8 GB of RAM. Xiaomi offers two types of storage configurations – 128GB and 256GB. The is backed with a decent battery of 5,000mAh.
Regarding the other specifications, the phone comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. There is no confirmation about the price of the device, but it is expected that the phone will be priced at 550 Euros (roughly Rs. 47,962). In the upcoming days, we will come to know more information about this phone.
I have always been a fan of slim gaming notebooks and in recent years they had almost gone extinct, however, since last year, a lot of OEMs including ASUS, MSI have started making slim gaming laptops. Obviously these are portable and lets you game anywhere any time you want to.
I respect ones coming from ASUS, like the ROG Zephyrus G14 and its VivoBook Gaming laptop series with Intel CPUs which have been well received by the Indian gaming community because of their price and performance in a slim form factor. Until now, ASUS used the old 8th gen and 9th gen Core i5 for these laptops and I like the fact that the Taiwanese OEM has used the latest 10th Gen Core i7 gaming processor here.
So, the new Asus VivoBook Gaming (2020) features some interesting specs including a 15.6 inch Full HD LED Backlit Anti-glare IPS Display with 250 nits of peak brightness, 45% NTSC color gamut, 80% screen-to-body ratio, and a 16:9 aspect ratio.
The main thing that separates all the laptops from this one is the insane amount of performance it gives at the price. The gaming laptop comes equipped with a 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10750H with 6 cores clocked at 2.6 GHz (base) and up to 5 GHz (boost). Making this one a great performer especially for games and another “cherry on the cake” spec at this price is the inclusion of 16 GB DRR4 RAM.
Also, you have a 512 GB NVMe SSD as well while for graphics you get a modest NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650 GPU with 4GB GDDR6 memory. Having such an amount of horsepower beneath it, the laptop still weighs just 2.14 kg, still decent enough to carry it anywhere and use for productivity as you also get IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) & Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity options.
However, one downside of this laptop is that it has a small battery of 3-cell 42 WHr Li-ion Battery which can be charged via a 150 W AC Adapter. My personal VivoBook Flip 14 has the same battery, and it gives me about 5-6 hours of battery life on normal usage. However having such a beefy CPU inside can take a lot of charge at once, so you have to carry the charger on a regular basis.
For ports you have 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x USB 3.1 (1st Gen) Type A, 1 x USB 3.1 (1st Gen) Type C, 1 x HDMI 1.4, 3.5 mm headphone jack, RJ-45, and a 2-in-1 Card Reader (SD/MMC). Much like other Vivobooks it also has dual Harman/Kardon speakers baked on the sides of the chassis and should give decent sound quality, don’t expect to be exceptional though.
It features a much-required 720p HD webcam, a fingerprint sensor for faster logins using Windows Hello, a TPM security chip, a backlit chiclet keyboard with 1.4 mm key travel which is quite good for daily use. Do note that the trackpad is smaller than usual so you have to use a mouse anyway but the quality of it is good enough.
Overall, the new Asus VivoBook Gaming (2020) with Intel Core i7-10750H is a good performer and is great for those who need a regular driver for both productivity or gaming needs, also do note the screen quality is not the most accurate and bright, so PhotoShop or video editors stay away from this. However, for regular use and gaming this is a great options for budget buyers if performance is all that you are looking for.

Apple’s bundled service subscription plan is just a few days away and chances are Apple might be tempting you in coming future to get rid of the rival Amazon’s Prime membership to let you save some of your hard-earned money.
Apple is all set to hold its September event on Sep 15 where it is supposed to announce the redesigned iPad Air along with Apple Watch Series 6 and an alleged cheaper Apple Watch which may be known as Apple Watch SE and there are high stakes that Apple might be also announcing its bundle services subscription.
9to5Mac has found quite a bit hints in the iOS 14 beta such as ‘Cancel Apple One’ and ‘Keep Apple One’ which suggests one thing for sure that this subscription service is going to be named Apple One. Another thing which is quite evident is that you will be getting an option to cancel the service so it might be getting billed monthly but there’s no idea about what will be the charges.
MacRumors has also reported that Apple has registered a bunch of domains with AppleOne in the URL which also hints at the possible Apple One existence.
The reference was found in the settings under the Manage Subscriptions menu while the 9to5Google has also reported that the Android version of Apple Music has references to “Apple One”.
The “Apple One” is supposed to bundle all the Apple services such as Apple TV+ and Apple Music in the basic package while the higher price package would also include the Apple Arcade.
The September 15 event is going to pack a lot but doesn’t expect any iPhones there since Apple has already confirmed that iPhones are going to come later than it was supposed to due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Nothing is sure for now and its suggestion that you should wait till the official keynote begins for an official confirmation because Apple’s been doing unexpected things lately such as making fools out of lots of tipsters on September 9th.
Realme is going to launch the Realme Narzo 20 series in India as well on 21st September.

Activision’s upcoming first-person shooter video game, Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is going to get an Open Beta release. The company has announced that there will be two Cold War beta “weekends,” and will be available for five days per weekend.
The first beta test weekend will be exclusively for Play Station 4. The users who pre-ordered and are willing to pre-order before the beta weekend will get the opportunity to play the game first before other PS4 owners. After two days other PS4 will get the open beta release. Though some territories will require a PlayStation Plus account.
The second beta test weekend will be an open beta i.e. it will be available for Xbox One, PC, and PS4 and will support cross-play. The idea is the same for Xbox One and PC users as previously it was for PS4 users. This means that Xbox One and PC users who pre-order the game will get early beta access while the other users will get the open beta access after two days. If you make a pre-order on Xbox Series X|S, then you also qualify for this Xbox One early access. Xbox One users will require Xbox Live Gold to play the beta.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will release on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For next-gen consoles, the game will cost $70. So, if you want to early access the game then hurry and pre-order the game or you have to wait for some days to get the open beta access of the game.
