Tuchel annoyed with Mbappe’s reaction after being substituted

0

PSG coach Thomas Tuchel substituted Kylian Mbappe in the 68th minute after he had scored a goal in Paris Saint-Germain’s 5-0 win over Montpellier on Saturday.

Tuchel brought on Mauro Icardi for Mbappe. But the 21-year-old was upset by the substitution and was seen exchanging some heated words with Tuchel in the sidelines.

Thomas Tuchel said after the match: “I am the coach, someone has to decide who goes out and who comes in and it is me. He [Mbappé] is very intelligent and knows what he is doing. He does not like going out but no player likes going out and these are not good pictures but we are not the only club to have this player reaction.
I also saw it in Dortmund today, I saw it in Liverpool and Manchester City. I watch a lot of football and I have seen a lot of reactions like that.”

“It is not good because it opens a discussion and subjects which are a distraction to our state of mind, because this team shows all together with Kylian, a very professional and very focused mindset. This subject always gives a little impression that it is not the case and it is a pity.”

“I am not angry, I am sad about this situation because it is not necessary. But that’s the situation and I explained to him why we did it and it will stay like that. It will stay that way, I will always decide things sportingly and we do not play tennis, we play football and we must, therefore, have respect for everyone.”

Mbappe could also face some disciplinary actions for his outburst and Tuchel has not ruled out that possibility. He said: “I don’t know, I will decide. I have to sleep a little and think. Afterward, I will make a decision tomorrow…I will decide if I speak about this thing, if I speak individually or if I do not speak about it. It depends on whether I sleep well or not.”

Mbappe was somewhat unprofessional in his outburst. He was not only disrespecting the manager’s decision but was also disrespecting Icardi who came on for him.

PSG have to handle these delicate situations very carefully because this is Mbappe we are talking of. He is one of the best players right now. So if he is angered, he could leave the club and there aren’t any club in the world who don’t want him in their team.

Erling Braut Haaland has created Bundesliga history

0

Borussia Dortmund signed teenage sensation Erling Braut Haaland from Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg in the recently concluded winter transfer window.

The 19-year-old striker has taken the Bundesliga by storm. He has done some super-human stuff. His goal-scoring record for Dortmund has been phenomenal.

Haaland scored another brace in Dortmund’s 5-0 rout of Union Berlin. He has now scored 7 goals in 3 matches.

He scored a hat-trick in his debut match, coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute against Augsburg on 18th January. He followed that up with two more goals, again as a substitute after coming on in the 65th minute in the thumping 5-1 win over Cologne on 24th January.

Erling Braut Haaland is the first player in Bundesliga history to score seven goals in his first three appearances in the competition. Incredibly, all of his first seven shots in Bundesliga has ended as goals.

Former Borussia Dortmund center-back Neven Subotic who now plays for Union Berlin told Norwegian broadcaster Viasport: “It started here with Lucas Barrios, going forward to [Robert] Lewandowski and [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang. Now Haaland is obviously right in line with those characters.”

“As far as I can tell, he is basically a mix of Lewandowski and Aubameyang because he also has got a complete game, he has got speed, finesse, and he needs about half a chance to score one goal.”

“I’m happy for [Dortmund] but I’m not happy as an opponent, obviously, because he makes something out of nothing. So congrats to the club for sealing the deal.”

Haaland said after the match: “I think it’s a mix of hard work and good teammates around me. My teammates are so good. Then it’s getting easy for me. I am enjoying my time so far and there’s a lot more to come.
I didn’t think about [scoring] so many goals, but now it’s seven and I am enjoying it.”

Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said: “You can’t imagine a better start. His job is to score goals. You can see that with every fiber of his body. He’s only 19 years old. We don’t make any comparisons. It makes no sense. Let him just play football and then he will score.”

He further added: “We have quite a few 19-year olds who are incredible. I just saw the stats. Jadon is the first player under 20-years-old to reach 25 goals in Bundesliga. That’s unbelievable. But maybe Erling will get there too.”

After the hat-trick in his debut match, it seemed as if it was a one-match wonder, but now it is turning out to be a normal thing for the teenager. Haaland definitely has something special in him. Maybe we’re looking at a future Ballon d’Or winner, but he is still a teenager and has to be handled carefully by Lucien Favre and Dortmund.

Manchester United have surprisingly signed former Watford striker Odion Ighalo

0

Manchester United made a very surprising deadline day signing. They were searching for a striker to strengthen the squad after the injury of Marcus Rashford.

The 20-times Premier League champions have been linked with some strange names throughout the transfer window including former Premier League striker Islam Slimani and Bournemouth’s Josh King.

Now, they have finally finished their search for a striker with the move for 30-year old Ighalo. The former Watford striker was playing for the Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua since February 2019.

During his time at Watford between 2015 and 2017, Ighalo netted 17 goals in 55 appearances in the Premier League. He will now make a return to the Premier League with a loan deal until the end of this season.

Odion Ighalo

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer commented on the Nigerian striker: “Odion is an experienced player. He will come in and give us an option of a different type of center-forward for the short spell he’s staying with us. A great lad and very professional, he will make the most of his time here.”

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 featuring the new hexa-core Intel Core i7-10810U with vPro spotted

0

Originally announced in CES 2020, Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 featuring Intel Comet Lake CPUs brought everyone to surprise that why Lenovo is using the 14nm process instead of the newer and more efficient 10nm Ice Lake CPUs.

The major reason for this was there’s a significant difference between a consumer laptop and a business laptop which requires more security and manageability features, much needed for corporate work.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 featuring the new hexa-core Intel Core i7-10810U with vPro spotted

Intel vPro CPUs are very important for such uses and it’s very disappointing that even though a year of the original announcement of the Intel Ice Lake CPUs have passed but the new Ice Lake CPUs do not support such features which the Comet Lake CPUs does.

The product page of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 says that you can opt up to up to 10th Generation Intel Core i7-10810U with vPro. This 14 nm processor has similar specs to the existing Intel Core i7-10710U featuring six CPU cores and the same clock speeds of up to 4.70 GHz with 12MB and 15 W TDP.

This is a thin and lightweight laptop with up to 18+ hours of battery life along with best-in-class connectivity, and rapid charging technology. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 packs up to 4K Dolby Vision panels along with a new 500 nit FHD PrivacyGuard AG display with PrivacyAlert.

The laptop is MIL-SPEC tested and also support Dolby Atmos audio, it is paired with LPDDR3 8 GB / 16 GB RAM and up to 2 TB PCIe SSD. The keyboard remains the same as last gen, now comes equipped with VoIP call buttons, rest all of the design also is conserved compared to 2019 models.

The availability of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 with Core i7-10810U is unknown as for now but being uploaded on the product page we can expect to be start shipping soon. The updated Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 has a starting price of $1,499 (around Rs.1,07,600).

In the coming days, we can expect more business laptops featuring this CPU but its sad to see even though 10nm has been introduced for a year now we have to wait until 2021 to see 10nm based vPro CPUs.

Microsoft Surface Go 2 with m3-8100Y & LTE appears on 3DMark listings

0

Another Surface product has been leaked recently and it is the Microsoft Surface Go 2 which seems interesting as the original Surface Go was launched back in July 2018. It does need a refresh as because the Windows-based tablet was received well in the market.

The Surface Go was a well built Windows device powered by the Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y and was offered at a comparatively lower price. Even though the processor was capable of the everyday tasks, this dual-core SoC is now quite old and needs a refresh.

Microsoft Surface Go 2 with m3-8100Y & LTE appears on 3DMark listings

New listings of the alleged Surface Go 2 have been spotted on 3DMark and the two devices have been spotted by _rogame. Previously also the tipster gave us a 3DMark listing of the Surface Book 3, and now we have another Microsoft device.

Microsoft Surface Go 2 with m3-8100Y & LTE appears on 3DMark listings

Both of the listings seemingly to use the “OEMRX OEMRX Product Name EV2” motherboard and can be the successor to the “OEMRX OEMRX Product Name EV1” which emerged last year as a possible Core m3-8100Y refresh of the original Surface Go. 

Talking about the Intel Core m3-8100Y, it is a dual-core CPU launched back in August 2018. It has a base clock speed of 1.10 GHz and a boost clock up to 3.40 GHz, and the Core m3-8100Y has double the volume of L3 cache. The iGPU is same on both the Pentium Gold 4415Y and Core m3-8100Y but the latter scores better in GPU benchmarks.

Overall, the Intel Core m3-8100Y will be a significant upgrade over last-gen and will be ideal for daily basic tasks and browsing. Among the two 3DMark listings reported with OEMRX EV2 motherboards, one appears to be an LTE capable device and the other one might be only the WiFi variant.

Even though a Core m3-8100Y-powered OEMRX EV1 Microsoft Surface Go 2 never made the market but it might be possible that an OEMRX EV2 motherboard paired with Intel Core m3-8100Y might arrive along with the alleged Surface Book 3 in 2020.

AMD to introduce next-gen RDNA based Navi GPUs in 2020

0

AMD started the GPU business in 2020 with a mess actually after the launch of Radeon RX 5600 XT. The last-minute price cut by NVIDIA forced the Red team to push a BIOS update to increase the performances, when most of the GPUs were already shipped by the board partners.

However, the company eyes to launch the next-gen RDNA based Navi GPUs in 2020 as NVIDIA too are going to introduce their Ampere GPUs soon in 2020.

“In 2019, we launched our new architecture in GPUs, it’s the RDNA architecture, and that was the Navi-based products. You should expect those will be refreshed in 2020 and we’ll have our next-generation RDNA architecture that will be part of our 2020 lineup”

AMD CEO Lisa Su
AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT with new vBIOS update brings up to 11% better performance

If you are confused on the ‘Navi-refresh’ term then all we can that we won’t see refreshed versions of RX 5500, RX 5600, and RX 5700 cards. Su clearly said of adding new cards to the existing lineup, which will eventually be based out of AMD’s next-gen RDNA architecture.

Not much is known about the next-gen RDNA architecture but we can guess it is the same architecture that the upcoming PS5 and Xbox consoles will be featuring. It is also said the next-gen RDNA might have Ray Tracing support as well.

Even though Su has not clearly stated anything about these cards and the architecture but we expect AMD would share more details at its Investor Day on March 5. Recent leaks of Big Navi GPUs also gives hints of AMD’s upcoming launch and the race against NVIDIA’s top tier RTX 2080 GPUs.

Realme C3 design & specifications teased by Flipkart

0

After confirmation of the upcoming Realme C3 by Realme India CEO Madhav Seth, we expected the smartphone to land in this week only but now it seems the company will launch the new low-budget smartphone in the coming month which they did while launching the previous Realme C2.

Realme India has now started sending out media invites for the launch event scheduled for February 6 and the company will also host the live-stream of the event on Facebook and YouTube from 1:30 PM.

The Realme C series have always been sold on Flipkart and now it seems the new Realme C3 will too launch via Flipkart. So, to tease its users, Flipkart has dropped some of the key specs of the smartphone a week ahead of the smartphone launch.

According to the listing, the Realme C3 will be featuring a 6.5-inch display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection and 89.8 per cent screen-to-body ratio. The resolution of the display is not confirmed but we can expect it to be the same HD+ considering this to be a low-budget device.

Realme C3 design & specifications teased by Flipkart

From the image teased we see a new design of the smartphone and the same teardrop notch that houses the front camera. Interestingly, the Realme C3 will be powered by the recently announced MediaTek Helio G70 SoC and will be offered in two configurations – 3GB+32GB and 4GB+64GB.

The MediaTek Helio G70 is a 12nm octa-core chipset with two high-performance Cortex A75 cores clocked at 2.0GHz, and there are the six efficiency Cortex A55 cores clocked at 1.7GHz. 

The battery of the smartphone has been retained to 5,000mAh battery that the company says will offer 30-days standby, 20.8 hours of YouTube streaming, 19.4 hours of music streaming, 43.9 hours of voice-calls and 10.6 hours of PUBG gaming.

Also, we see dual camera setup featuring a 12MP primary sensor with features like Chroma Boost, slow motion video and HDR mode along with Panorama selfie mode has been revealed in the listing and there’s no official word on the secondary image sensor or the selfie-camera but we must get all that info by next week.

0

The Red team has recently announced its Q4 earnings of 2019 and its annual financial reports as well. In 2019, AMD experienced the highest revenues in the past six years majorly due to the sales from the Ryzen 3000 CPUs, new Navi GPUs and its server-end CPUs.

The severe jump to the 7nm platform in 2019 played a key role for the company not only on the CPU front as well as on the GPU business as well. From the Ryzen 3000 to Navi GPUs or from the Threadripper 3000 to the AMD EPYC CPUs we experienced a year of 7nm in 2019.

AMD experience record-breaking revenues in Q4 2019

AMD’s CEO Dr Lisa Su has reported the company’s Q4 2019 revenue reached US$2.13 billion, while the yearly revenue topped at a record-breaking US$6.73 billion, which is in fact 4% higher than 2018 one. On the other hand, Intel has reported US$10 billion in revenues for the 4th quarter of 2019 alone.

Only the 7nm Ryzen 3000 CPUs along with the Radeon RX 5000-series GPUs brought in US$4.7 billion revenue, which is a 69% increase over the CPU + GPU revenues generated in 2018. This is a major achievement for the company and we knew something like this could happen after the massive earnings in Q3 2019.

AMD Ryzen 7 4800H: 8C/16T APU with 4.3GHz boost clock & 19K 3DMark Physics score

According to AMD, the company has experienced the highest CPU sales in 6 years, while the GPU shipments grew by “double-digit” percentages on a YoY basis. The Red team will be focusing more on the 7nm products in 2020 and try to increase the production to meet the demands, adjust price as per Intel’s upcoming offerings in the CPU market.

AMD has also managed to reduce its debt by ⅔, from US$4.5 billion in 2009 to US$1.5 billion in 2019, and 50% of it was mitigated only in 2019. Overall, AMD eyes a 45% gross margin and 30 % revenue increase in 2020.

With the Ryzen 4000 mobile APUs, upcoming next-gen consoles powered by AMD, the company has a busy schedule in 2020 as well. AMD will also be bringing the Ryzen 4000 to desktop and the next-gen RDNA based Navi GPUs.
