But one thing can be a bit surprising for you that even though Apple is making the iPad Pro much powerful and efficient, its battery life is still stuck to 10 hours. Even though mobile SoC efficiency has improved by around 10% to 20% each generation but the 10hrs battery life hasn’t changed since the original iPad that was launched by the late Steve Jobs.

When compared with Samsung ARM-based Snapdragon 8cx-powered Samsung Galaxy Book S that offers well over 20 hours of battery life, the iPad Pro seems a bit underwhelming especially considering the fact that even the Galaxy Tab S6 models which look similar offers 50% more battery life at up to 15 hours.

SAMSUNG starts mass production of eUFS 3.1, its Fastest Smartphone Storage

We all know that Samsung Electronics is one of the leaders in the Advance Memory Technology field. They recently announced that they have begun mass production of industry’s first 512GB embedded Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) 3.1. It will positively affect smartphone users for sure.

Cheol Choi, the executive vice president of Memory Sales and Marketing at Samsung Electronics said, “with our introduction to the fastest mobile storage, smartphone users will no longer have to worry about the bottleneck they face with conventional storage cards.” He also added, “The new eUFS 3.1 reflects our continuing commitment to supporting the rapidly increasing demands from global smartphone markets this year.”

Samsung-Embaded-Storage-Memory-Lineup_technosports.co.in

As per Samsung, their eUFS 3.0 takes more than four minutes to move 100GB of data. But the new eUFS 3.1 takes just around 1.5 minutes to do that which is very much impressive. It offers 100000 I/O per second while reading and 70000 I/O per second while writing.

The calculation shows this scale is nearly 60% faster than the available eUFS 3.0. Samsung Community also declared that the 256GB and 128GB variant will also available along with the 512GB.

As a result, scruffy smartphone users will experience a smoother performance, all kinds of data transfer within the storage and many more. For now, waiting is the only way. So, keep patience and stay with TechnoSports.

Sony PlayStation 5 to feature 825 GB SSD & can fill 16 GB of RAM in just two seconds

0

It was known that the upcoming PS5 would feature SSD and Mark Cerny did stress a lot upon is the console’s storage. Xbox has taken a different approach to speed up game load times by implementing fast removable SSD drives while Sony is taking a different approach.

The Sony PlayStation 5 will feature an odd 825 GB of internal SSD storage which connects to a custom flash via a 12-channel interface delivering a 5.5 GB/s of raw throughput. This capacity helps Sony to make good use of available NAND.

Sony has made the console’s SSD so fast that the console’s 16 GB of memory can be filled in just two seconds i.e. 2 GB in 0.25 seconds. This Sony’s custom flash controller has a hardware decompressor whose performance equivalent to that of nine AMD Zen 2 cores and can deliver up to 5.5 GB/s of raw and up to 9 GB/s of compressed throughput. 

Sony PlayStation 5 hardware specs revealed, not as powerful as Xbox Series X

This controller connects to the Zen 2 CPU via a four-lane PCIe Gen4 bus and is custom-built, helping developers can prioritize data blocks to eliminate any bottlenecks. Then there’s dedicated DMA controller equivalent to the performance of one or two Zen 2 cores, custom processors that handle the I/O mapping, and coherency engines.

When comes to external storage, external hard drives can be used for storing backwards compatible PS4 titles also PC NVMe drives can be used but a PCIe Gen4 drive would give you best results. It also supports decompression of the Kraken format developed by RAD Game Tools, which ultimately gives you a throughput of up to 9 GB/s.

The PS5’s storage has six priority levels while PC NVMe drives right now have only two so Mark Cerny has asked to wait before purchasing an external NVMe drive to ensure that it passes Sony’s validation for fitting inside the slot as well as meet the bandwidth requirements. Sony’s implementation seems more realistic than the Xbox’s expansion card storage system.

Borussia M’Gladbach players will waiver part of their salaries to pay other employees

0

The Coronavirus outbreak has been a major blow to the economy of all the countries. There have been 13,632 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Germany, with 33 people dead.

With the football matches suspended in Germany at least till 2nd April, there aren’t any revenues coming for the workers and staffs. Clubs across the world have taken many measures to fight against financial problems.

Bundesliga club Borussia Monchengladbach’s players have taken a great initiative in this time of need due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The players have willing decided to waiver part of their salaries to make sure everyone gets paid.

borussia m'gladbach

Borussia M’Gladbach’s sporting director Max Eberl said in an interview with the club’s official website: “I didn’t have to explain much [to the players]. The players know what’s going on. It’s their job, they have already informed themselves and thought about it.
The team has offered to forego salary if it can help the club and its employees.”

He further added: “I am very proud of the boys. It is a clear signal: We stand together for Borussia, in good times and in bad. They want to give something back to Borussia and therefore also to all the fans who support us. The coaching staff joined in, just like our directors and managing directors.”

More than €1m a month in total will be given up by the squad and it will be used to pay the club’s other workers. This is a great gesture from the Gladbach players.

Sony PlayStation 5 hardware specs revealed, not as powerful as Xbox Series X

0

After a lot of speculations about the upcoming PlayStation 5, Sony has revealed the key specs of its upcoming gaming console. Already Microsoft has spilt the specs of its upcoming Xbox Series X which indeed will be the key competitor to Sony’s new product.

It was known that both Sony and Microsoft would be using AMD hardware for its gaming consoles, Sony’s Mark Cerny spoke in detail about the PlayStation 5’s hardware. Sony will too use AMD RDNA 2 GPU architecture like Microsoft that will enable high performance in games and implement features like hardware accelerated Raytracing.

So, the console will feature a custom AMD CPU based on the Zen 2 architecture, with its frequency capped at 3.5GHz, whereas the Xbox Series X has a custom AMD CPU based on the Zen 2 architecture that runs at 3.8GHz.

Sony PlayStation 5 hardware specs revealed, not as powerful as Xbox Series X

While the GPU will have 36 compute units (CUs) and its boost is capped at 2.23 GHz, so the GPU has 10.3 TFLOPs of GPU horsepower, on the other hand, Xbox Series X has 52 CUs with 1.825 GHz GPU clock speed and 12 TFLOPs of GPU horsepower.

Even though the PS5 has about 44% lesser CU count than the Xbox Series X but makes it up with high boost clock speeds, but a 2.23 GHz frequency is not always attainable.

Expectedly, there are supports for hardware-accelerated ray tracing which is another important feature of RDNA 2 that will be made possible by the Intersection Engine which is built into the shaders. This feature will obviously make the supported games much more life-like implementing reflections, shadows, ambient occlusion, and global illumination.

The PlayStation 5 also supports Geometry Engine block that offers a good deal of control over primitives and creation of primitive shaders while we don’t know whether it supports machine learning or variable refresh rate which Xbox Series X does. More details regarding PS5 will be covered in our next articles.

All football matches across the world have been postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Initially, Premier League and other English divisions decided to suspend the matches till 3rd April.

The FA, Premier League, EFL and women’s professional game, together with the PFA and LMA, have now collectively agreed that the professional game in England will be further postponed until no earlier than 30 April due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

The FA’s Board has also agreed to extend the 2019/20 season indefinitely in relation to Professional Football.

The official statement read: “The FA, Premier League, EFL and women’s professional game, together with the PFA and LMA, understand we are in unprecedented times and our thoughts are with everyone affected by COVID-19. “

“We are united in our commitment to finding ways of resuming the 2019/20 football season and ensuring all domestic and European club league and cup matches are played as soon as it is safe and possible to do so. “

“We have collectively supported UEFA in postponing EURO 2020 to create space in the calendar to ensure domestic and European club league and cup matches have an increased opportunity to be played and, in doing so, maintain the integrity of each competition.”

“The FA’s Rules and Regulations state that ‘the season shall terminate not later than the 1 June’ and ‘each competition shall, within the limit laid down by The FA, determine the length of its own playing season’.”

“However, The FA’s Board has agreed for this limit to be extended indefinitely for the 2019/20 season in relation to Professional Football. Additionally, we have collectively agreed that the professional game in England will be further postponed until no earlier than 30 April.”

“The progress of COVID-19 remains unclear and we can reassure everyone the health and welfare of players, staff and supporters are our priority. We will continue to follow Government advice and work collaboratively to keep the situation under review and explore all options available to find ways of resuming the season when the conditions allow.”

“We would all like to re-emphasise that our thoughts are with everyone affected by COVID-19.”

This is good news for all the English football fans as this season will be completed no matter how late it gets. Liverpool have been the most dominant side in England this season and they already have their one hand on the trophy. So declaring this season null and void would have been an insult to their 30-year long wait for the Premier League trophy.

Realme Narzo confirmed to be the new smartphone series

0

Yesterday, Realme started teasing its new product lineup called Realme Narzo which kept us thinking will this be a smartphone or smartwatch or any other IoT device? Realme Narzo has today been confirmed to be their new smartphone series.

The tweet from Realme India CEO, Madhav Seth proves the existence of their new range of smartphones, and he did state “Presenting the new revolution. Our new smartphone series #realmeNarzo.”  Even though no smartphone look has been shared but he has asked fans to guess the name of the first phone in the Narzo series.

Along with the tweet, there’s a dedicated landing page for this new smartphone series along with a new music video that suggests the series to be dedicated to the Millenials.

In the page, we see two questions – What is Narzo and who is it for? Realme Narzo will cater to the Gen-Z which means it will focus on offering blingy designs and bring the ‘Max’ performance in its price segment.

This makes sense because Realme’s lineup has become saturated and they need a new series or branding to attract youths like what Xiaomi has done with Poco.

As for now, Realme has not revealed any further details but with days surely we will see new info and leaks surfacing up, so stay tuned.
