0

In its event Amazon ‘Smbhav’ held in New Delhi, he made a major announcement that would support Indian MSMEs. Yesterday, Amazon made it clear that they would invest $1 billion in digitizing small and medium businesses (SMBs) on its platform in India.

Speaking in the‘Smbhav’ event, Jeff Bezos said that Amazon would support SMBs to export their products. It’s no brainer that the rise of e-commerce sites have led to a huge impact on small businesses and shops, with everything going online people are relying more digitally on these days.

Jeff Bezos's Amazon to invest $1Bn to digitize small businesses in India

Bezos has announced that the e-commerce giant, through its global footprint, will help SMBs export products worth $10 billion by 2025. The initiative taken by the company will bolster the growth of the Indian economy, but how?

Amazon would be building ‘Digital Haats’ in 100 cities, villages, and communities to help the businesses integrate into the digital economy. The concept is unique which will help boost shops and businesses in the neighbourhood, Digital Haats will be available to MSMEs irrespective of their association with Amazon.

We’re committed to being a long-term partner of India. And actions speak louder than words. Over the next five years, Amazon will invest an incremental $1 billion to digitise micro and small businesses in cities, towns, and villages across India, helping them reach more customers than ever before. This initiative will use Amazon’s global footprint to create $10 billion in India exports by 2025

Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon

A company statement said. “We are going to use our global footprint to export 10 billion dollars of Make-in-India goods by 2025”, he said. Bezos even said that the main objective behind the support is that the business with SMBs in the country has been doing well. “Because it’s working, and when it’s working, you should double down on it”.

It is a fact that those businesses that have got associated with Amazon have been able to bolster their growth in the past few years but those who are not “digitally able” to get on Amazon, this step will have a huge impact on small and medium businesses.

Talking more about the Indian market and entrepreneurs, Bezos is determined that the 21st century will be the century of India. “I predict that 21st century is going to be the Indian century”, he said, recognizing the fact that apart from the dynamism which India has, it is the democracy which is a major characteristic of the country.

In terms of alliances, Jeff believes the 21st century would be about the bilateral relations between the US and India. In the coming years, this major step can have a bigger impact on the Indian economy as SMBs are very important parallelly to the e-commerce platforms.

Zotac ZBOX Nano mini-PCs powered by AMD Ryzen 3 3200U APU looks great

0

Zotac is known for its GPUs and for its pre-built gaming PCs and also they are famous for their mini-PCs as well. Most of its mini-PCs feature the Intel SKUs with weak iGPU which is quite adequate for everyday workloads, on the other hand, AMD’s strong iGPU is at least better than Intel ones.

Now, being much more power-efficient from before, AMD’s chips are being implemented into the mini-PCs and Zotac is doing the same by featuring the older AMD Ryzen 3 3200U APU onto its new ZBOX Nano mini-PCs.

Intel NUC kits are quite famous among its users including home and office users, AMD is now convincing the customers of its own chip powered mini-PCs. Even though in 2019, AMD had a tough time in managing OEMs to make mini-PCs based on their own processors but things have changed in 2020.

With the new and revolutionary AMD Ryzen 4000 mobile processors featuring the strong Vega graphics has got the attention of the SFF PC builders and among them is Zotac. The new ZBOX Nano series focuses on really small form-factors and the company has announced only one AMD powered model.

It is only powered by the modest Ryzen 3 3200U APU with two cores and four threads, hopefully, with time, we will see more models with Ryzen processors. This 15W processor has 2.6GHz base clock speed and a boost up to 3.5GHz, 4MB L3 cache and support for up to 32 GB DDR4-2400 RAM via 2x SO-DIMMs.

The integrated AMD Radeon Vega 3 Graphics is quite strong to handle daily tasks and casual gaming as well. On the storage front, we have support for a 2.5-inch SATA drive along with an M.2 slot for PCIe NVMe SSDs. There will be two models of the ZBOX Nano mini-PCs one with the fan which is slightly longer and bulkier and the other will be fanless.

On the rear panel, there are 4x USB-A 3.0 ports, dual GbE jacks along with wireless antenna support, and DP + HDMI ports while on the front panel we have 2x USB-C 3.1 ports and another USB-A 3.0 connector, mic/headphone jacks and an SD card reader. The fanless one integrates with 4X USB-A 3.0 + 1x USB-C 3.1 connectors. 

For now, no word on price and availability has been disclosed by Zotac, obviously, the Zotac ZBOX Nano mini-PCs will be available in the coming months but we also expect more variants with the new AMD Ryzen 4000 APUs later this year.

Barcelona appoints head coach of Real Betis, Quique Setién to replace Ernesto Valverde.

Barcelona has sacked their manager Ernesto Valverde and replaced him with the former Real Betis coach Quique Setién.

Valverde, who had been in charge since the summer of 2017, becomes the first manager at the club to be sacked mid-season since Louis van Gaal 17 years ago. He leaves with Barcelona through to the knockout phase of the Champions League as group winners and top of La Liga, which they have won for each of the last two years.

He had six months left on his contract, plus the option for another year after that. Setién has been given a two-and-a-half-year contract until June 2022.

After days of openly pursuing replacements, Valverde was finally informed of the club’s intentions on Monday evening. During that time Xavi Hernández and Ronald Koeman, both of whom had expressed their desire to coach the club in the future, turned down the opportunity to take over with immediate effect.

Despite his sacking being an open secret by then, Valverde took charge of the Monday morning training session as normal, as his team returned to work after three days off.

Valverde wrote,
“Dear Barça fans, My time as FC Barcelona coach has come to an end. It has been an intense two and a half years right from the start.
In that time I have enjoyed some joyful moments celebrating victories and trophies but also others that have been tough and difficult.
However, above all, I would like to highlight my experience with the fans and the affection showed towards me during my time as a coach”. He is expected to return on Tuesday morning to say goodbye.

Barcelona appoints head coach of Real Betis, Quique Setién to replace Ernesto Valverde.

Barcelona had hoped and expected to announce the signing of Setién and the departure of Valverde earlier. Reporters outside the Camp Nou following the board meeting they had been told that a statement was expected shortly and that a press conference would be held by the president and the sporting director the following morning.

A club statement read: “Barcelona and Ernesto Valverde have reached an agreement to terminate the contract that united both parties.

“The club publicly expresses its gratitude to Ernesto Valverde for his professionalism, his commitment, his dedication and his always positive treatment towards all that make up the Barça family. We wish him luck and success in the future.”

Valverde won two league titles and the Copa del Rey during his two years in charge but there was criticism of the way his side played and second-leg Champions League defeats at Roma and Liverpool when three-goal first-leg leads were lost in calamitous fashion, weighed heavily. No one fought for him to continue.

Indeed, it surprised many when Valverde signed a new contract last February and when he continued beyond the summer but at that point, he enjoyed the backing of the president.

Barcelona appoints head coach of Real Betis, Quique Setién to replace Ernesto Valverde.

For Setién, there is excitement. Aged 61, this is the job he most covets. A former coach of Las Palmas and Real Betis, Setién led the latter to a stunning 4-3 victory at the Camp Nou in which his team were judged to have ‘out-Barcelona’ Barcelona.

The former Spain international is committed to a style based on possession and technique, a professed admirer of Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi, and once said he would have cut off his finger to play for Johan Cruyff.

Mohun Bagan remains on top as they managed a draw against Punjab

Mohun Bagan maintained their position at the top of the I-League table 2019-20 standings with a 1-1 draw against hosts Punjab FC here on Tuesday.

Bagan now has 14 points from seven games while Punjab moves one place up to second with 11 points from eight.

The visitors’ Spanish coach Kibu Vicuna named an unchanged starting line-up from their previous solitary goal victory against the Indian Arrows.

Punjab’s Yan Law, made two changes, bringing in Dicka and Samuel Shadap in place of Girik Khosla and Thoiba Singh, who had started their previous game.

Cameroonian striker Dipanda Dicka gave the hosts the lead in the first half and they almost clinched a win before young Subha Ghosh snatched an equalizer late in the match.

Punjab halted Bagan’s four-match winning streak, which is now a seven-game unbeaten run.

The Kolkata giants were the more attacking off the blocks, but Punjab played the off-side trap to perfection to thwart any clear attacks on goal save a Fran Gonzalez effort early on.

Punjab was more confident in the second half and the game was more end-to-end as a result with both sides missing a flurry of chances.

Also, check out: Mohun Bagan “We The Mariners” t-shirt.

Sankar gave an excellent save in the 56th minute, his first of three in the half, denied Sergio Barboza, who had found himself one-on-one with the keeper in a delicious position in front of goal.

Bagan had their share of easy misses as well. Papa Diawara, Bagan’s Nigerian recruit, found himself in a favorable position in the 60th minute but shot wide.

Spaniard Joseba Beitia then shot over the bar from close in the 68th, while VP Suhair in the 70th also shot wide with only the keeper to beat. And when Bagan substitute and new foreign recruit Komron Tursunov of Tajikistan shot wide from close in the 85th, it looked all but over for the Green and Maroons.

Danillo Augusto, Punjab’s Brazilian defender was awarded the Hero of the Match for a gutsy performance at the back.

CES 2020: Intel’s Horseshoe Bend Concept is the Foldable PC you dreamt of

0

Apart from giving a preview of its upcoming 10nm Tiger Lake architecture, Intel has also given a sneak peek of the futuristic PCs. We already have seen the foldable Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold, Intel has also shown the Horseshoe Bend concept which gives birth to the foldable Windows 10 PCs over the next few years.

CES 2020: Intel’s Horseshoe Bend Concept is the Foldable PC you dreamt of

Intel’s Horseshoe Bend concept features a massive 17.3-inch AMOLED foldable touch display with 4:3 aspect ratio when it’s unfolded. This massive display gives the users immersive PC experiences on the move and when the display is folded, it shrinks down to 12-inches.

Intel has embedded a kickstand like the Microsoft Surface on the rear end this allows you to prop up the foldable display easily. The Horseshoe Bend has a 7mm-thick chassis with just 9W TDP and lacks any kind of cooling which is quite possible because of the optimizations made by Intel on its own product.

The blue team’s new Tiger Lake architecture succedes its current Ice lake architecture and will ship in laptops later in 2020. The prototype shown was running on the standard Windows 10 OS but we can expect to ship with the more optimized OS i.e the Windows 10X later this year.

Like the other foldable devices, you can too access the on-screen keyboard on the foldable display or just attach an external keyboard and mouse which indeed will give you a more desktop-like experience with the massive 17.3-inch display.

The sleeker display with narrow bezels make the Intel’s Horseshoe Bend Concept a desirable foldable PC in future and it’s great to see Intel and other manufacturers pushing the foldable form factor to masses in the near future.
