The Blue team has just launched its new “Intel Core Desktop Processor featuring Marvel’s Avengers Collector’s Edition Packaging” via Twitter. It’s basically the same 10th gen Intel desktop processors involving the artwork by the mural painter Tristan Eaton based on Marvel’s Avengers.
Intel is also promoting its CPUs and its gaming reach celebrating the launch of the new Square Enix-developed Marvel’s Avengers, scheduled to launch on September 4, 2020.ย Intel is already Square Enix’sย official PC hardware partner for Marvel’s Avengers and bringing special CPUs for the launch of this massive game does make sense.
Avengers Assemble.
Introducing the Intel Core Desktop Processor featuring Marvel's Avengers Collector's Edition Packaging, created by painter/muralist @TristanEaton. @playavengers#Reassemble
Already Intel’s new 10th Gen desktop CPUs aren’t that much compelling enough over Ryzen 3000 and 3000XT CPUs so take advantage of their partnership with the game, Intel hasย released new limited-edition “KA” Avengers series processors. These re-modeled packaging will feature four new 10th-generation desktop processors: Core i5-10600KA, i7-10700KA, i9-10850KA, and i9-10900KA.
As per @momomo, all of these Intel chipsets have that extra letter A (signifying for Avengers) in their product names, however, their performance should be similar to non-Avengers counterparts. Intel has not yet revealed how much these CPUs in their fancy new boxes will cost but this is a clear marketing strategy for Intel and it will be interesting to see whether or not these so-called new processors ship with a copy of Marvel’s Avengers.ย
MS Dhoni has announced his retirement on Saturday, 7:29 pm. It has left the whole cricket community in despair. He retired from Test cricket back in 2014 and from 1929 hours, 15th August 2020 he has retired from limited-overs cricket as well.
Dhoni will continue to play in the IPL for Chennai Super Kings. He is set to travel to UAE with the team after few weeks to play in IPL 2020.
Australian legend Shane Warne has now invited Dhoni to play for his team ‘London Spirit’ in ‘The Hundred’.
The Hundred is a 100 ball cricket tournament which will be held in England. Its inaugural edition was scheduled to be held this year but due to the Coronavirus pandemic, it has been postponed to 2021.
Shane Warne told Sky Sports during his commentary duties for Englandโs 2nd Test against Pakistan: โI just wonder if I could get him down to the London Spirit next year for The Hundred. I might put out a call to see if he wants to play at Lordโs. Iโll find the money, MS!โ
Warne has paid tribute to Dhoni, one of the best captains and wicketkeeper-batsman. He said: “In T20 cricket, especially, the best captains, their teams will be in and around the finals all the time โ itโs so key in T20 cricket โ and Chennai have won [the IPL] three times.”
โA terrific cricketer. You think back to some of the games that he won for India, off his own back. And you think of his captaincy, his leadership, he was a terrific competitor and a wonderful player. He will go down in history as one of the all-time great wicketkeeper-batsmen.”
โHe had a calmness about him that was fantastic and he always got the best out of his team, whether it was India, Chennai Super Kings, whoever it was. His players really respected him and responded to the way Dhoni wanted to play the game.”
Shane Warne is the head coach of London Spirit in The Hundred. The eight new teams which have been created for The Hundred are:
Birmingham Phoenix (Edgbaston)
London Spirit (Lord’s)
Manchester Originals (Emirates Old Trafford)
Northern Superchargers (Emerald Headingley)
Oval Invincibles (Kia Oval)
Southern Brave (Ageas Bowl)
Trent Rockets (Trent Bridge)
Welsh Fire (Sophia Gardens)
Each team will have 15 players with a maximum of three overseas stars. It will probably be held in June 2021.
With the trend going on to remove the 3.5mm jack in the flagship smartphones for making more space for greater hardware management, Samsung had also joined the crew by removing the headphone jack starting from the Samsung Galaxy S10 series last year. Now the company is again willing to add the 3.5mm headphone jack in the Galaxy S21 from next year.
A tipster @MauriQHD has tweeted claiming that Samsung will once again bring back the 3.5mm headphone jack in the Galaxy S21 series atleast for the next year. The company will be adding this in their next year flagship series starting from the Galaxy S21 series.
While there is no concrete evidence about this but the company will introduce it and will watch how much influence it will make in the market sales. At the time of removing the headphone jack Samsung received plenty of flak and now let’s see if the company again brings back the feature then it might grab more media attention.
According to the tipster, this experiment will result in a good lineup for Samsung but might generate less revenue compared to other flagship models which does not have the headphone jack. The addition of a seperate headphone might increase the some cost margin and will decrease the profit margin.
India’s top-flight football league, Indian Super League has gained worldwide fame. It is among the most followed leagues in the world. India has been badly hit by the Coronavirus pandemic. But here’s good news for all the Indian football fans.

FSDL also plans to provide an individual training pitch to each club. They have identified 10 training pitches in Goa, which will be upgraded before ISL begins in November.
The graphics giant is all set to launch its next tier Ampere graphics cards next month called the RTX 3000 series, there have been a series of leaks surrounding these GPUs, now we have some info about the upcoming flagship RTX 3090 (or RTX 3080 Ti).
As reported by Videocardz, the new GPU could feature the faster GDDR6X memory as RTX 3090 is listed on the Micron website with 12GB GDDR6X memory. It also spilled some exciting specs on the website, before it was taken down like the RTX 3090 is said to be able to break the 1 TB/s barrier coming at a bandwidth expected to be between 912 to 1008 GB/s.
As the memory provider cites, the clock speed will be up to 21 Gbps along with a memory bus of 384-bit (21*384/8). So, this gives a fair idea that NVIDIA’s next flagship GPU will be very fast and as Micron is officially its memory provider, surely NVIDIA will use the faster GDDR6 memory but the amount of VRAM it will use remains a point to be speculation.
[Nvidia Ampere] ๐ง
GA102 24GB / 3090
> 1410MHz base clock > 1740MHz boost clock
Compared to the Titan RTX these clocks are +60MHz/-30MHz
It is because, the trusted leaker @_rogame has spotted a GPU with the likely clock speeds of the RTX 3090, i.e. with a base clock of 1410MHz and boost of up to 1740MHz. However, the GPU is seen to be featuring 24GB VRAM and obviously its GDDR6 memory.
Now, the name RTX 3090 isn’t confirmed yet so it could be the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti as well, however, you cannot rule out the fact that the graphics giant could opt out for a completely different naming scheme, you never know.
A whopping 24GB VRAM seems to be a point of speculation especially when it’s running on the faster GDDR6X RAM that could increase costs even more, but you do not have to wait much for the new GPUs as NVIDIA’s upcoming launch is scheduled on September 1.
The Coronavirus pandemic has caused havoc in the whole world. All things have to be stopped and went into lockdown to cope with the massive COVID-19 outbreak.
During the lockdown, people had to stay in their own homes. It’s quite difficult to stay locked indoors so people started playing video games to have some recreation. The video game market saw rapid growth as many people took to gaming during the lockdown.

This chart is compiled by GSD. It includes digital sales for all big publishers (Nintendo and Bethesda Softworks are the only exception)
FIFA 20 tops the chart of the best selling games in the UK during lockdown. EA Sports’ football-themed video game ‘FIFA’ is one of the most popular video games. It has seen a massive rise in popularity during the Coronavirus. 506,572 units of FIFA 20 were sold.
EA has declared a record profit in the first quarter of the financial year of 2020-21. They had an operating income of $471 million in the April-May-June period. They described this as “an extraordinary quarter”.

Mukul Sharma, a famous tipster in Twitter, has recently tweeted claiming that Oppo’s next F series smartphone will launch in India in September. He has also specified that the phone will launch earlier that month and it can be in the first week of September. The phone is expected to be Oppo F17.
Mukul Sharma has also mentioned that the phone will be the sleekest F series smartphone till date. So we can consider to be the slimmest of all F series smartphone. The Oppo F15 felt very comfortable in hand, for its rear design and we hope the F17 will also come up to the expectation with its slim bodyline.
Here's an exclusive leak for you. Oppo's next F series smartphone (likely the F17) is launching in India in September, early September. We can expect the launch to take place in the first week itself. It will be the sleekest F series device till date. Feel free to retweet ๐
A few days ago, OPPO PEAM00 was spotted on the TENAA website and some key specs of the device have been revealed. The listing has been spotted by Mukul Sharma, he has also shared two images of the device.
The design of the phone from the back looks similar to the just-launched Realme C12 with the triple rear camera setup in square camera layout. The phone has a punch-hole display and will support the in-display fingerprint scanner.
This phone might also be the one Mukul is talking about. But there is no concrete proof of this speculation.
Where as today Oppo unveiled the Oppo reno 4 Pro Artist Edition 5G in collaboration with James Jean in China as a new addition to its previously launched Oppo Reno 4 and Reno 4 Pro. The phone will have the same Snapdragon 765G processor used in both the devices previously.
