AMD and partners are reportedly making A620 entry-level chipset for its Ryzen 7000 CPU Series

0

AMD Ryzen 7000 sales were directly related to AM5 motherboard pricing. AMD’s new platform necessitates a new socket and more expensive DDR5 memory technology. AMD launched the Ryzen 7000 non-X series earlier this month in an effort to provide a cheaper alternative to 65W processors. However, slower CPUs may occasionally sell for more than their faster ‘X’ counterparts.

When comparing both companies’ latest platforms (AM5 vs LGA1700), AMD initially lost the value battle to Intel; however, the red team isn’t standing still and has taken actions to correct these initial flaws, such as the introduction of Ryzen 7000 Non-X CPUs, which come at lower prices and offer nearly the same performance while running cooler and delivering far better power efficiency, and the upcoming Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs, which will bring gamers attention to the AM5 platform.

AMD motherboard partners are preparing lower-cost AM5 options in the form of the A620 chipset lineup, which will be available next month.

Since the release of AM5, no motherboard manufacturer has released a product priced at the $125 US tier that AMD had promised. In fact, most of the B650 motherboards, which were supposed to restore affordability to the AM5 platform, ended up at exorbitant prices, making the AM4 platform even more appealing.

The AMD A620 chipset has yet to be officially announced, but AMD has promised that a lower-cost AM5 solution will be available to consumers in February. As a result, motherboard manufacturers are preparing to launch the motherboards, and some of these new products, including four Gigabyte products, have leaked at EEC.

In addition to the Gigabyte motherboards, one ASUS A620 model, the TUF Gaming Plus (DDR5), is available at Goofish for 799 RMB. That’s still around $120 USD, but when compared to the B650 offering, that’s a price difference of nearly $110 USD, which is massive. Prices at Goofish aren’t always final, and they could be even lower.

Apple will launch the next-gen Apple TV with a faster processor in 2024

0

The Cupertino giant is looking forward to upgrading its existing products including the Apple TV which has not been updated yet though Apple TV 4K got a new upgrade last year. So, it’s been suspected by Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman that will continue to improve its home ecosystem of products including the Apple TV.

The upcoming Apple TV box will be updated with a new chip, a bit slower than the one used in the 4K variant and should not support up to 8K video streaming. However, in terms of design, we expect no change as it resembles the Apple TV 4K and is likely to have a basic design.

Apple TV

Though very little is known about the exact specifications or launch it’s safely assumed that Apple will launch it by next year i.e. 2024. Not only this, but also Apple has other home ecosystem products lined up and there could be a device or software by which one can combine the likes of Apple TV‌, smart speaker, and FaceTime camera altogether.

However, as of now preassuming all this is still early because Apple had a lot of setbacks earlier and its primary focus is on improving its display, making it in-house, a lot of things are ongoing with Apple. Another product we could see from the Cupertino giant could be a new Smart Display for controlling all its HomeKit devices and more, but everything is estimated to launch in 2024.

India defeat New Zealand by 12 runs to scrape to 1-0 lead in ODI series

India defeated New Zealand by 12 runs in their first ODI to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Shubman Gill scored his maiden double century to help India put up 349 for the loss of eight by the end of their innings. 

But, New Zealand had an impressive batting order themselves, and put up a strong fight until the end. Michael Bracewell scored 140 off of 78 deliveries to keep the visitors in the hunt for the win, but fell short by little. 

India defeat New Zealand in first ODI to lead series 

The first innings was a one-man show for the most part, as Shubman Gill scored 208 runs from 149 balls. The next best score on the sheet was from the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, who put up 34 from 38. Gill might have just settled the debate for the opening spot, as he has been in phenomenal form for the last few games. And his double century will certainly put an end to any further objections for the foreseeable future. 

Gill became the youngest player in ODI history to score a double century. But he wasn’t the only player to put up three digits. 

Mohammed Siraj picked up four wickets for India, and with New Zealand under serious pressure at 131/6 at 29 overs, the partnership between Bracewell and Mitchell Santner ensued. The two put up a record 162 runs in 105 deliveries for the seventh wicket to fight back into the game. 

Santner scored 57 off 45 while Bracewell put up 140. However, Siraj and co were able to somehow overcome the late response from the Kiwis to win the game. After a thrilling first encounter between the two teams, the second ODI will be played in Raipur on Saturday.

Yannick Carrasco linked with ambitious Barcelona swap deal

Yannick Carrasco has been one of Atletico Madrid’s most important players over the last few years, following his return from China. The Belgian is now being linked with a move to Barcelona as part of a swap deal which could see Memphis Depay move in the other direction. 

Diego Simeone’s side are not keen on including Carrasco in the negotiations since they highly value the player. Moreover, they also need to replace Joao Felix for the foreseeable future, as he left to join Chelsea on loan. 

Yannick Carrasco linked with Barcelona move 

The player’s agent, Pini Zahavi, has commented on the links with Barcelona, stating: 

“The plan is to trade Yannick (Carrasco) for Memphis (Depay). There is nothing concrete yet, nor do I know if it will work, but negotiations are ongoing. Yannick likes Barca and is a good player.”

However, Yannick Carrasco has contradicted Zahavi by saying that he is committed to the cause at the Spanish capital: 

“Right now I am only thinking about Atleti. All the players have to be 100% committed to fight together for the objectives,” he said. 

As a result, it is difficult to gauge whether the player actually wants to join Barcelona or whether he is keen on staying at the Metropolitano. 

Memphis Depay is open to joining Atletico Madrid since he isn’t getting many opportunities at Barcelona. And according to Fabrizio Romano, the Rojiblancos are closing in on the transfer. A fee worth €3 million has been agreed between the two clubs. The here we go signal is expected very soon from Romano, which would practically confirm that it is a done deal. 

The future of Carrasco, however, remains up in the air as there are no hints whether he is included in the transfer plans. Madrid will hope to keep both players as they have an important second half of the season coming up. 

Real Madrid still linked with Kylian Mbappe for a transfer in 2023 or free in 2024

Real Madrid are keeping an eye on Kylian Mbappe‘s situation at PSG. The Spanish giants are reportedly open to signing him if he decides to leave during the summer transfer window. 

One of the reasons that Mbappe is unhappy at PSG is because he is being forced to play as a centre-forward. As shown with France, he prefers to play out on the left but given the lack of recruitment of a suitable striker, Christophe Galtier has no other choice but to use him as the central striker in his system. 

Kylian Mbappe could yet join Real Madrid down the line 

In the summer of 2022, Mbappe was extremely close to joining Real Madrid as a free agent as his contract with PSG was set to expire. But, he decided to perform a U-turn and ended up renewing with the French club for two more years. There is also the option of another year, but it can only be triggered by Kylian Mbappe himself if he wants to stay. 

The 24-year-old won the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup, and scored a hat-trick in the finals as France finished runners-up behind Argentina. Madrid have kept in contact with him since that time and would be ready in case he wishes to move on from the Parc de Princes. 

However, they are wary of the situation given that they have been denied before. A move in the summer could be very expensive for Real Madrid, who could be priced out of it. But, they will have the opportunity to sign him as a free agent again in 2024, should Mbappe let his deal run down. 

For the time being, though, Vinicius Jr is the long-term prospect to man the left wing for Los Blancos. And given how well he is performing, it is difficult to see them moving for Mbappe to saturate the squad.

Atletico Madrid agree Memphis Depay transfer with Barcelona worth €3 million

0

Memphis Depay is close to joining Atletico Madrid on a permanent deal, as negotiations are speeding up with Barcelona. The transfer is in the final stages and will be completed very soon.  

According to Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs have an agreement over a €3 million fee and it is only a matter of time before the transfer is given the here we go signal. At that point, it would mean that the move is as good as done. 

Memphis Depay expected to join Atletico Madrid very soon 

The Dutchman is seen as the replacement for Joao Felix, who left to join Chelsea on a loan deal for the remainder of the season. Depay struggled to get game time under Xavi Hernandez, with several other players ahead of him in the pecking order. 

And as a result, he decided to push for an exit. Reportedly, he only wanted to join the Rojiblancos, who could use some composure in front of goal. Personal terms have been agreed between Memphis Depay and Atletico Madrid, and the move will soon be made official once the formalities have been completed. 

The forward joined Barcelona from Lyon as a free agent, and initially made a good impact for the club. But with the arrival of Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres and the return of Ansu Fati from injury, opportunities have been hard to come by for him. 

Being at the peak of his physical ability, he could be a vital asset for Atletico Madrid at this stage in the season. They are out of European football altogether and can only focus on getting the best possible finish in the league. With a proven goalscorer like Depay, they can be much more realistic about their ambitions for the second half of the season.
