Bayern Munich’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic announced on Wednesday that Bayern have activated the Stuttgart centre-half’s €35 million (£31m/$40m) release clause.
Bayern Munich have confirmed the signing of Stuttgart and France defender Benjamin Pavard on a five-year deal. The Bavarian outfit announced the news via Twitter on Wednesday
Salihamidzic revealed to reporters: “I can confirm that Benjamin Pavard will join us on a five-year deal from 1st July 2019. Pavard is a young player and a world champion. We’re delighted and very proud to have been able to secure the services of a player like him.”
🗣️ @Brazzo: “I can confirm that Benjamin Pavard will join us on a five-year deal from 1st July 2019.
Pavard, who starred in France’s World Cup win in the summer, will remain at Stuttgart until the end of the season. Pavard joined Stuttgart in 2016 and went on to win the 2. Bundesliga title in his first season at the club.
In March 2017 he made his France debut and played right-back as the country went on to win its second World Cup. A superb strike in the last 16 defeat of Argentina saw Pavard win goal of the tournament.

But he hasn’t enjoyed such good form this season, though. In part thanks to his struggles, Stuttgart are battling relegation and sit 16th in the Bundesliga, having shipped 29 goals in his 14 appearances and 35 overall.
Despite his recent dip in form, Pavard is a good young talent who can freshen up Bayern’s back line. Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng are both 30 now, and the latter in particular has suffered a decline of late.
As for Stuttgart, they have received a €35 million (£31.4 million) fee for him, according to DW Sports. The deal will not only allow him to help Stuttgart for the remainder of the campaign, but they might also be able to use the money to aid their survival bid. Stuttgart have scored just 12 goals in 17 Bundesliga matches this season, so attacking reinforcements are sorely needed.
Niko Kovac’s side trail Dortmund by six points in the table – the first time in eight seasons that they have not led the way going into the winter break. And the signing of Pavard is unlikely to be the final piece of business completed by Bayern in January.
The Bavarians have made a fourth bid of £35m ($45m) for Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi , offering him the No.10 shirt in an attempt to convince him to move to Germany. Kovac’s side had already completed the $13.5 million (€11.5m/£10m) signing of Alphonso Davies from Vancouver Whitecaps, with the 18-year-old Canadian part of the 29-man squad that travelled to Qatar on January 4 .
Bayern resume the Bundesliga season with an away trip to Hoffenheim on January 18, while Pavard’s current side Stuttgart, who are 16th in the table, host Mainz on January 19 as they aim to move further away from the relegation spots.

To make a pleasing 2019, AMD will power the new age Chromebooks that will require lesser power, more productivity and will run on Google’s Chromebook OS. AMD hasn’t yet played any role in the Chromebook market.
Most of the processors that typically go into Chromebooks are lower grade Celerons and Pentiums, which AMD doesn’t particularly compete against.
AMD has made a smart move by dedicating its A-series APUs for Chromebooks that need lesser power and performance.
So, instead of going for the Intel Pentium and Celeron processors, Chromebook makers including Acer, HP, and other OEMs will start using the refreshed AMD A6-9220C and AMD A4-9120C.
So, AMD is trying to pursue the Chromebook market, with they feel is ‘an underserved but growing market’. AMD even quoted that:
The Chromebook market is currently growing with an 8% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) with increasing average selling prices
AMD
For the Red Team, now is the right time to enter this market. To this end, AMD has launched its A-Series processors with a 6W TDP.
7th Generation AMD A-Series Processors: Versatile A-Series processor for Google Chromebooks
Both of the AMD A6-9220C and AMD A4-9120C will have TDP of as low as 6 Watt and 1MB of cache. These small CPUs built on 28nm architecture will have one core/module. That means, these processors will bedual-coreones and will have 2 threads.
The A6-9220C is the best processor out of the pair, with a 1.8 GHz base frequency and a 2.7 GHz turbo frequency. It has 192 SPs running at 720 MHz and also supports VP9/H.264/H.265 decode.
While the AMD A4-9120C is slightly slower with 1.8 GHz base frequency and a 2.7 GHz turbo frequency. It has 192 SPs running at 600 MHz and also supports VP9/H.264/H.265 decode.
The graphics inside is AMD’s GCN 1.2 family, much better than Intel’s integrated graphics. AMD A6-9220C has integrated Radeon R5 graphics, on the other hand, AMD A4-9120C will feature Radeon R4 graphics.
The 7th Gen AMD A-Series processors deliver ideal computing experiences, from fluid web browsing to effortless everyday productivity, social media, streaming and web gaming. The AMD A6-9220C processor provides:
HP’s alleged Chromebook 14 powered by new AMD processors
up to 23% faster web browsing and up to 24% faster web application performance than the Intel Pentium N4200 and Celeron N3350, respectively
up to 3.2X faster email performance and up to 74% higher office application productivity than the Intel Pentium N4200 and Celeron N3350, respectively
up to 42% faster photo editing performance and up to 43% faster web gaming experiences than the Intel Pentium N4200 and Celeron N3350, respectively
Chromebooks are usually used for office style work, some web browsing, and leisure, now AMD seems confident they have a part that their processors can serve these purposes as well.
All of the AMD-based Chromebooks are claimed to give a minimum of 10hrs of battery life, which AMD supposes as a basic requirement for Chromebooks. These two processors might can also be seen powering entry-level Windows notebooks.
What do you think about these processors? Tell us in the comments 🙂
Finally, at CES 2019, AMD shows off its new 2nd Gen Ryzen Mobile processors aka Ryzen 3000 Mobile processors based on ‘Zen+’ architecture
After a lot of rumours and leaks, AMD has finally shown off something. It’s not officially announced by Dr Lisa Su but yes they have listed their new mobile processors on their site as of now.
The key disadvantage of the first gen Ryzen mobile series processors was not as efficient as its competitor Intel was, but yes they were expectedly powerful enough.
The Ryzen 3000 Mobile processors
Instead of making chips based on 7nm, AMD has made the new 2nd Gen Ryzen Mobile Processors based on 12nm micro-architecture or based on the ‘Zen+’ micro-architecture.
Also, the first gen Ryzen mobile processors were not fully optimized and lacked major driver support which AMD claims that they have fixed with the new Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition.
The new AMD Ryzen™ 3000 Series Mobile Processors are expected to deliver best-in-class performance, a brilliant entertainment experience, and state-of-the-art features as well as offering impressive performance improvements.
Here are the specs of the new Ryzen 3000 Mobile processors:
As we can see there is a new leader i.e the Ryzen 7 3750H, with 4 cores & 8 threads, which I think will be mostly used in gaming laptops. It has a high TDP of 35 Watt, base clock frequency of 2.3GHz and a turbo up to 4GHz. Also, it has Vega 10 graphics along with 6MB of L2+L3 cache.

Also, there are the Ryzen 5 3550H with the same TDP of 35 Watt, with same 4 cores & 8 threads. For graphics, we have the Vega 8 graphics and 6MB of combined cache.
Both of the new CPUs have higher TDPs that will help during intensive gaming. Also, the cache has been increased considerably and now have higher clock frequencies.
Coming to the other variants of 3700U and 3500U, both of them will feature the same 4 cores and 8 threads with TDP of just 15 Watts. Both have received higher clock speeds and will have 6MB of L2+L3 combined cache.
For the lower end, we have the Ryzen 3 3300U that will have 4 cores and 4 threads this time with 2.1GHz base clock speed and up to 3.5GHz on the turbo. The chip will be accompanied with 6MB of cache and Vega 6 graphics.
There will two new CPUs namely the Ryzen 3 3200U and Athlon 300U, both will have 2 cores and 4 threads. For graphics, both will have Vega 3 graphics, with Ryzen 3 3200U having higher frequencies. Both will have 5MB of huge cache memory with as low as 15 Watt of TDP.

Higuain is keen on a move to the Premier League with Chelsea, and reunite with his former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri.
Higuain is currently on loan at AC Milan from Juventus, but has struggled to settle, scoring just six goals in 15 appearances.
According to MARCA, the 31-year-old will fly to London on Wednesday and finalise his move after positive talks with Maurizio Sarri.
It now looks certain that Maurizio Sarri will be reunited with a player who scored a career-high 36 goals in their one season together at Napoli, with Higuain desperate to get out of Milan and work under his old boss once again.
Such a transfer would see the Blues pick up the remainder of his current loan agreement, which includes a purchase option worth €36m (£33m, $41m) that can be triggered at the end of 2018-19.
Should everything go through, this will allow Alvaro Morata to join Sevilla or AC Milan on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.

Consumer Electronics Show is a platform for all the next generation innovations and technologies which is provided by the Consumer Technology Association.
This year Las Vegas is the witness of it.
Along with NVIDIA, Intel and some other reputed brands LG also bring to us some heavyweight upcoming technologies. Without wasting time…let’s get started.
4K Laser Projector
Speakers 2019
Sound Bars 2019
TV Sets
>> 4K Laser Projector
As our previous conventions or experiences, the word Projector brings thots of a large white screen, the Projector hardware, and a place in some distance from the screen to place the hardware. The first two things can’t change, at least till now. But the last part is going to be changed.
LG announced a second generation Laser Projector which can be placed in just 2-inch distancefrom the wall and that will be enough for it. Rather than 4K image quality, it comes with Voice Control and AI facilities.
>> Speakers 2019
This South Korean Company gifts us a new range Speakers called XBoom in 2019. This XBoom range Speaker is designed to make them semi portable and can be put along or against the gravity. With the music lights are there to join you.
>> Sound Bars 2019
In the case of audio LG was not satisfied with the announcement of the XBoom Speaker Range. They added three new Sound Bars with it. All of them supports Dolby Atoms and have Google Assistant. That means you will get a better experience and sound quality and can control through voice.
Now, the Main Attraction and Major announcement
>> TV Sets
LG’s best announcement of CES 2019 is there new OLED TV R. This is First ever television with Rollable Screen. Yes, you read right. A Rollable Screen. This is not all…it has a sound bar attached.
When you need it, the screen comes out and returns back when over. You can also bring half of the screen out while listening to music.
Next comes 88 inches huge 8K OLED TV which contains LG’s new a9 2nd Generation Processors, Google Assistant, and AI Support. Besides there 65-inch 4K TV will come with World’s first Motion Picture Response Time of 3.5ms.
Want a gaming laptop that’s just like the Microsoft Surface Pro? The ASUS ROG Mothership is 17-inch detachable gaming laptop with Nvidia’s RTX 2080 GPU and Intel Core i9-8950HKmight be the best choice for you
Gaming on a laptop always seemed to be overblown with the heat dissipated. Typical gaming laptop vents are on the bottom sides making airflow a bit choppy.
So, ASUS has made a bold move by removing such format and making a gaming laptop quiet similar to that of the Mircosoft Surface Pro. That means the ASUS ROG Mothership will have a vertical design, Surface-style pop-up kickstand, and detachable folding keyboard.
👀 #ROGMothership has landed. https://t.co/hmJSLd0H5G
Now, this idea makes lot of sense because by this way the heat which could earlier only come out from the bottom vents getting trapped in the keyboard and desk, now can easily get through the huge, but not that much noticeable vertical vents.
The Surface-like kickstand helps to bend it in three different angles, and you can either keep the keyboard attached to it or just completely separate it, giving a desktop feel to it.
The ROG Mothership (GZ700) has a huge 17.3-inch 1080p (FHD) display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Also, it has a 3ms response time and equips the Nvidia’s G-Sync.
It is powered by Intel’s top-of-the-line Core i9-8950HK processor. The graphics has been powered by the newly announced mobile version of NVIDIA’s RTX 2080 Max Q GPU.
Both of the CPU and GPU according to ASUS are overclocked beyond stock speed because of the better cooling that the vertical design offers.
The storage is provided by a RAID 0 array with three NVMe SSDs and with up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM rounding throughout the internal hardware.
Also there’s the supports for Windows Hello facial recognition from the built-in webcam for quick access.
Coming to the ports & connectivity we have a USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port, a standard USB-C port, four USB Type-A ports, HDMI, an SD card slot, and an Ethernet port with support for 2.5G ethernet. Also, there’s the latest 802.11ax Wi-Fi or the Wi-Fi 6 support.
Also, there are dual 280W charging ports which most of the superpowered gaming laptops demand these days. The ROG Mothership weighs about 4.7 Kg and it is expected to be available from Q1 of 2019.
How much excited are yo with this laptop? Tell us in the comments below 🙂
Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan informed on Monday that they have appointed Khalid Jamil as there new team’s head coach for the remaining part of the current season.
The former Aizawl FC and East Bengal coach takes over from Shankarlal Chakraborty, after Mohun Bagan went down 1-2 to debutants Real Kashmir FC in their I-League encounter at the Salt Lake Stadium. “With immense pleasure we wish to inform you that Khalid Jamil has been appointed as the new head coach of Mohun Bagan senior football team for remainder of 2018-2019 football season,” the press release from Mohun Bagan stated. Jamil – who guided Aizawl FC to the I-League title in 2016-17 season – will take charge of the team during the training session at the club ground on Tuesday morning.
He will have his first media interaction as coach of the sobuj maroons. Jamil’s first assignment in charge of Mohun Bagan will be a clash against defending champions Minerva Punjab at the Salt Lake Stadium on Wednesday followed by another home game against Neroca FC on Saturday.
After a two-week break, he will then come up against his former club – East Bengal – in the return leg of I-League’s high-voltage Kolkata derby on January 27. Mohun Bagan have been extremely inconsistent this season and, especially, their form at home has been a major cause of concern. The Kolkata side is currently in the sixth position in the I-League standings with 15 points from 11 encounters.
When asked about why he chose to take up charge at Mohun Bagan when the Mariners are struggling and almost out of the title race Jamil said,” I was waiting for a good offer. I like Kolkata. I liked the offer and I accepted it. It is a big and new challenge for me. It is my pleasure to be here. I have not thought about that (championship). I am just thinking about the next match.”

As we see now we have a total of 9 processors in the list and most of the overclockable CPUs having a TDP of 95 Watt. Well, as we see several of these new models lacks the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 iGPU, as denoted by an “F” suffix on the product name.
These chips come packing the same 14nm process and Coffee Lake microarchitecture as their other 9th-Generation brothers.
Sitting at the top is the eight-core Core i9-9900KF, which matches the Core i9-9900K and similarly, the Core i7-9700KF and the Core i5-9600KF are identical to their previously released counterparts.
The new Core i3-9350KF is an overclockable quad-core processor without hyperthreading and even without graphics. It has a 4.0 GHz base frequency and a 4.6 GHz turbo frequency.
The Core i5-9400F is a hexa-core processor, without hyperthreading or integrated graphics. It has a 2.9 GHz base frequency and a 4.1 GHz turbo frequency and it’s the only new processor declared with its pricing.
The Core i5-9400 is the same processor as its brother but with Gen9 Intel HD 630 Graphics. The Core i5-9400 seems the only new locked model in this massive lineup.
