Intel’s 4th Generation Xeon ‘Sapphire Rapids’ processors leaked

Sapphire Rapids has been in the air in recent times, and now we are getting more leaks. The new development of the Intel’s 4th generation Xeon processor has been the first leaked CPU images. YuuKi-AnS, a leaker, shared the first picture of the Sapphire Rapids-SP CPU based on Intel’s 10nm processor. The chip is known with a codename of ‘QVV5’ and will be used on the Eagle Stream platform.

The next-gen Sapphire Rapids chips offer quite impressive specifications. This chip would be the first chip that supports PCI Express 5.0. Besides that, it also features an onboard HBM memory card and Computes Express Link 1.1. As per expectations, it’s going to be the first architecture to support DDR5 memory, but a rumour suggests that it will support up to 8-channel memory. By the end of 2021, it looks like Intel wants to shift entirely to DDR5 on all platforms making a start with the Alder Lake platform.

The above picture of the Sapphire Rapids-SP CPU is an engineering sample with a base clock of 1.3 GHz. This chip is based on the third refinement of Intel’s 10nm process technology named 10nm Enhanced SuperFin. The leaker informed that the CPU would use four compute cores along with four HBM stacks.

The Sapphire Rapids will be used in the next-gen HPC platforms, mainly Intel’s own Aurora supercomputer. We can expect that the Aurora will be equipped with two Sapphire Rapids processors paired besides six Ponte Vecchio GPUs. At CES 2021, Intel had confirmed the development of 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable processors. All of these are still rumours, nothing is confirmed officially yet.

Elon Musk’s support for Cryptocurrencies gives rise to record Market Value in a Volatile week

It seems that the cryptocurrency industry is not witnessing any dull moments. In the most recent period, Elon Musk’s proclamation as a supporter for Bitcoin and his tweet about Dogecoin, together with a record runup in Ether helped take the market value of digital tokens to an all-time high.

Tesla co-founder Musk posted light-hearted tweets about Dogecoin — a Shiba Inu meme-themed unit that was created as a joke but has now turned into something to keep a track of– stirring buying that drove its market capitalization past $6 billion. On Thursday, the value of more than 6,000 tokens tracked by CoinGecko, a cryptocurrency ranking and evaluation site, was an unprecedented $1.17 trillion.

These recent developments “provide more evidence of the way the casino-like gyrations of digital coins are seeping into the mainstream.” Prominent advocates of Bitcoin like Billionaire Musk say it’s winning broader acceptance in the finance community. Regulators, meanwhile, do not want people to get complacent and are stepping up warnings of volatility that could wipe investors out.

“Investor perception is at an all-time high at both the retail and hedge fund levels,” said Jehan Chu, managing partner with blockchain advisory firm Kenetic Capital in Hong Kong, according to Bloomberg.

Even so, digital coins are still viewed by many investors as a treacherous sector. That was underlined in the U.S., where the 24-year-old founder of two New York-based cryptocurrency hedge funds (Virgil Sigma Fund and VQR Multistrategy Fund) with more than $100 million in investments, Stefan He Qin, pleaded guilty Thursday to securities fraud.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, at about $37,400 as of 1:30 p.m. in Tokyo on Friday, is up 15% this week, while Ether has risen 26%.

Bitcoin may be strengthening before heading toward a record $50,000, which according to Mike McGlone, commodities strategist with Bloomberg Intelligence, would imply a market value for it of about $1 trillion.

Ether’s eightfold rally over the past year faces possible turbulence as the impending launch of CME Group Inc. futures next week may open the door for bearish investors. The digital coin, on Thursday, was at $1,636, down from a peak of almost $1,700.

African Union Chairperson and FIFA President discuss ongoing strong collaboration

Gianni Infantino stressed the important role that Africa plays in global football

ZURICH, Switzerland, February 5, 2021/ — Thursday, during a call that preceded the 34th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the Heads of State and Government of the African Union (AU), AU Chairperson H.E. Cyril Ramaphosa and FIFA President Gianni Infantino spoke of the positive momentum generated between both organisations in the past two years as well as the strong institutional bonds forged between the AU and FIFA for the benefit of the African people.

Reviewing the progress made since both organisations signed a Memorandum of Understanding in February 2019, the two leaders discussed various topics, including plans to boost African Football with a particular focus on infrastructure (stadia, football pitches), football academies and competitions, but also on the fight against match manipulation, as well as safety and security at football matches across Africa.

The joint #SafeHome campaign from August 2020 between the AU and FIFA, with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Confederation of African Football (CAF), where the four organisations addressed the important issue of domestic violence, which was exacerbated by COVID-19-related lockdowns and stay-at-home measures by launching a successful awareness-raising campaign is a further testimony of the close collaboration between the AU and FIFA. A number of Africa-based FIFA Legends supported the campaign via video awareness messages which were distributed on social and traditional media. Both the AU Chairperson and the FIFA President also recognised the opportunities that education through football can bring through the FIFA Football for Schools programme which is being coordinated globally via the FIFA Foundation.

Having visited 35 African countries in the last few years, Gianni Infantino stressed the important role that Africa plays in global football, and how that needs to be strengthened in future. This role has been supported with strong investments via the FIFA Forward programme which has already delivered close to 300 projects across the continent.

The rollout of the FIFA COVID-19 Relief Plan, supporting football across Africa during the pandemic, has also been significant and continues to play an important role to keep football alive in the continent.

Related to COVID-19, vaccination processes will also be crucial in the months ahead. In this respect, the FIFA President reiterated his support for fair access to vaccines for all, a message that he had passed to a global audience earlier this week at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, in the presence of the WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

The FIFA President thanked the AU Chairperson for their continued support and assured his AU counterpart that the strong relationship forged between both organisations in the past two years will continue when Félix Tshisekedi, the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, will assume the role of African Union Chairperson for a one-year term during the aforementioned Assembly, which takes place on 6 and 7 February 2021.

Xiaomi introduced World’s first Quad-curved Waterfall Display Concept Smartphone

Almost 5-6 years ago we saw the curved display concept for the first time especially in a flagship series of Samsung and from then we have witnessed many smartphones with such waterfall displays. Recently we have seen the Motorola Edge with the true waterfall-display. But these displays were curved on either side of the screen. We have not seen a quad-curved display till now, which means that the screen will be curved on all four sides of the smartphone and not only on two sides.

Xiaomi is always one of the pioneers introducing new concepts of their latest and innovative innovations. This time the company has introduced the first-ever quad-curved waterfall display concept smartphone that will have curves on all four sides and the representation has been shown in the below-mentioned official tweet from the company itself.

Xiaomi’s new innovation will revolutionize hyper quad-curved 88-degree surface and will result in a true port-free unibody design. This upcoming smartphone will definitely be one of its kind and as the pioneer, in this segment, Xiaomi will definitely try to make it a signature device. We will witness a true port-free true full view display, seemingly to have an under-display camera for complementing the continuity and its design.

As mentioned by Xiaomi the design and model have been finalized after “countless breakthroughs in glass bending and laminating technology to extend the limits of the display to infinity.” Xiaomi also added that the port free unibody design has been built using a total of 46 different “groundbreaking” patents. Moreover, we have seen the 88 degree curved edges prior in the devices like the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana has been handed a 12-months ban by UEFA

Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana has been handed a 12-months ban by UEFA

Cameroon international Andre Onana has been a key player For AFC Ajax since 2016. He was one of the key members of the side which defeated Real Madrid and Juventus in their run to the Champions League semi-finals.

But unfortunately, the disciplinary body of the European football association, UEFA, has imposed a suspension of 12 months on Andre Onana for a doping violation.

In an official statement on Ajax’s website, it’s stated that: “On the morning of October 30, Onana was feeling unwell. He wanted to take a pill to ease the discomfort. Unknowingly, however, he took Lasimac, a drug that his wife had previously been prescribed. Onana’s confusion resulted in him mistakenly taking his wife’s medicine.”

It has been confirmed that Onana and Ajax will appeal against the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) as he has been handed a 12-month ban from all football competitions.

Ajax Managing director Edwin van der Sar said: “We explicitly renounce performance-enhancing drugs, we obviously stand for a clean sport. This is a terrible setback, for Andre himself but certainly also for us as a club. Andre is a top goalkeeper, who has proven his worth for Ajax for years and is very popular with the fans. We had hoped for a conditional suspension or for a suspension much shorter than these twelve months, because it was arguably not intended to strengthen his body and thus improve his performance. ”

It is a very unfortunate event for a young and budding footballer. Being banned for 12 months will have an adverse effect on him. If he has taken the medicine by mistake, he shouldn’t have been banned for a year. Maybe, CAS will overturn the judgement of UEFA.

NBA All-Star 2021: Kevin Durant and LeBron James lead respective conferences in first returns of voting

NBA All-Star 2021: Kevin Durant and LeBron James lead respective conferences in first returns of voting

While the NBA is finalizing a deal to hold the 2021 All-Star Game in Atlanta on March 7, All-Star voting opened on January 28 and ran through February 16. On Thursday the league revealed the first results with the top 10 players named for each conference in the backcourt and frontcourt. 

Like every year, fan voting accounts for 50 percent of the final vote for the five starters named in each conference, with the coaches and media each having a 25 percent say in the starters. The player with the most number of votes in each conference is named a captain, and the two captains pick teams from the pre-selected pool of All-Stars. 

After the first returns, in the Eastern backcourt, Kevin Durant leads all vote-getters in the league, with fellow Brooklyn teammates Kyrie Irving and James Harden respectively, behind Wizards star Bradley Beal.

In the Western Conference, LeBron James sits atop all front court players while also leading the conference in votes. Stephen Curry returned to the top spot for guards after being out last season with a broken hand.

According to the results released by the NBA, Durant leads all players with 2,302,705 votes, while James comes in close at 2,288,676. Stephen Curry is the only other player who has received a minimum of two million votes (2,113,178). Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal leads all Eastern Conference guards with 1,273,817 votes. 

Despite coming back from a torn Achilles, Durant has shattered even the most optimistic expectations for him. The Nets megastar is averaging 30.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per night. He is also shooting 53.3 percent overall and a career-high 45.2 percent from the three-pointer line.

Reigning two-time MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo is having a dominant season with 27 points, 11.2 rebounds and six assists in 20 games for the Milwaukee Bucks. 

Perhaps the biggest surprise from the first round of voting is that Anthony Davis sits fourth among frontcourt players in the Western Conference. This season, he has not been as dominant statistically as he has in the past. Averaging 22.3 points per game, he is on pace to record his lowest average since 2013-14. He is also averaging the fewest rebounds per game (8.7) since he was a rookie in 2012-13.

Liverpool banned from travelling to Germany for their Champions League match against RB Leipzig

Liverpool banned from travelling to Germany for their Champions League match against RB Leipzig

Liverpool is scheduled to play RB Leipzig on 16th February in Red Bull Arena. But Germany currently has a flight ban in place for passengers coming in from areas affected by mutations of the coronavirus and the UK is also on that list.

A spokeswoman for the Federal Ministry confirmed to Sky Germany that Liverpool would not be given a special permit: “The Corona Protection Ordinance passed by the federal government last Friday only provides for a few exceptions and no special regulations for professional athletes.”

“The Federal Police today informed RB Leipzig that the described case constellation does not fall under the exceptional circumstances.”

To cope with the threats of the Coronavirus pandemic, UEFA has already made plans at the beginning of the campaign to find ‘safe’ venues in case if the scheduled venue is not safe. The Puskas Arena in Budapest is one such safe venue.

So if Liverpool and RB Leipzig fail to come up with an alternative, the Round of 16 first leg match can be played in the Puskas Arena in Budapest.

Another possibility is that the match can be postponed. The latest possible date to finish last-16 games has been set to 2nd April.

The last option, which is the most unlikely is that RB Leipzig could be forced to forfeit the match with a 0-3 scoreline if they fail to find a solution.

Another thing, if Germany’s flight restrictions are extended, it may also affect Manchester City’s trip to face Borussia Monchengladbach on 24th February.

Xiaomi’s MIUI 12.5 update allows Google Mobile Services installation on smartphones in China

Imagine you have a smartphone, but it comes without google play store! This means that you won’t be allowed to download any of the google applications. How does that sound?

Xiaomi, the Chinese multinational electronics company, has banned users in China from downloading Google Mobile Services (GMS) applications due to compliances. Xiaomi comes with its own operating system named MIUI. It keeps on updating this operating system to better the experience of users.

In a recent rollout of MIUI 12.5, the new OS, many users in China have noticed that they are not allowed to install Google services in their Xiaomi devices anymore. Xiaomi has also stated that this operating system no longer supports this feature. Google Mobile Services is essential for smartphone users. It aids in downloading key Google applications. 

In China, there are several applications which can help you. They are not dependent on Google Play store like the people of other countries are. The alternatives available to them are more than enough. Most China devices do not support GMS, and now the global smartphone brand, Xiaomi has joined the forces as well. 

The US and China are in a heated trade and business environment since the last three-four years. The Donald Trump-led government even imposed some hefty sanctions on Chinese giant, Huawei. As there is still no end to this trade war, people suspect that the US can levy sanctions and restrictions to other Chinese companies’ operations in the US. Thus, causing a huge blow to their business. 

As of now, Xiaomi has not stated that which all of its models do not support GMS applications now. The reports suggest that Redmi K30 Ultra and Redmi 10X 5G users have confirmed that they are unable to download any of Google’s application.
