India heading towards their second win in The World Test Championship

0

Chasing an nearly impossible 468-run target, West Indies are 145 for four at lunch on Day 4.

In the first innings of West Indies batting, Jasprit Bumrah took 6 wickets and restricted them to 117.

Jermaine Blackwood came out as concussion substitute for Darren Bravo. He along with Shamarh Brooks took West Indies to 145/4 at Lunch on the day 4. West Indies still need 323 runs to win, that probably looks impossible.

India needs only six wickets to win the match with one and a half day in hand.

Shimron Hetmyer hit it straight to Mayank Agarwal in Ishant Sharma’s over. Roston Chase, who came out to replace Darren Bravo after he was retired hurt, was trapped by Ravindra Jadeja. West Indies are now four wickets down for 145.

Hanuma Vihari and Ajinkya Rahane took India closer to a series sweep with an unbeaten 111-run stand. Their partnership helped the visitors set an improbable 468-run target for the West Indies.

Interestingly, India had decided against enforcing the follow-on despite gaining a 299-run lead by bowling out the West Indies for 117 an hour into the morning session. The in-form Rahane (64 not out) and Vihari (53 not out) stitched a partnership for fifth-wicket which allowed India to declare at 168 for four, giving their bowlers 13 overs to have a crack on the struggling West Indies batsmen. 

West Indies were 45 for two at the end of day three.

Jermaine Blackwood came in as a substitute after Darren Bravo was not able to recover from the injury. The ICC’s new concussion rules came into effect on Monday as West Indies were forced to make a concussion substitute on Day 4 of the 2nd Test against India in Sabina Park, Jamaica. Darren Bravo, who resumed the play for Windies on Day 4, could only survive a few overs, as he called for medical check-up in the middle.

West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl first. India were all out for 414 at day two. Hanuma Vihari scored a century and Ishant sharma scored his maiden half-century. Skipper Kohli made 76 runs in the first innings.

Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja took one wicket each in the morning session.

AMD Threadripper 3000 Benchmarks leaked, up to 32 Cores at 4.2 GHz

0

Over the past few weeks more and more leaks of Threadripper 3000, CPUs are getting leaked every now and then. This suggests AMD has already started working on the Threadripper series and will bring it soon in the market.

AMD has already nailed it with its Ryzen 3000 CPUs and it seems soon they will capture the high-performance desktop range. Doubling the cores and threads is a habit for AMD but do they really affect the performance?

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3rd Gen processors spotted with 32 Cores & 20% Faster than 2990WX

To an extent, yes they do but when it comes to single-core performance it lacks behind Intel’s superior architecture. This changed completely with Zen 2 architecture based on the efficient 7nm process.

The Threadripper 3000 CPUs will also feature the same Zen 2 architecture which is known for its high IPC, clock speed and huge cache memory. To sum up, AMD has improved a lot with its new Zen 2 CPUs and today the Ryzen 3000 processors are selling in the market like hotcakes.

Soon the Threadripper 3000 processors will be available for enthusiastic people who crave for high performance. Another advantage that AMD CPUs have is their cost, selling at 20-40% price margin than Intel, these CPUs are truly value-for-money and so do we expect with Threadripper.

AMD Threadripper 3000 Benchmarks leaked, up to 32 Cores at 4.2 GHz

We have already seen some Geekbench leaks of a 32-Core/64-Thread AMD desktop processor which we do feel to be part of the Threadripper 3000 series. We now have a Userbench result that names the CPU as AMD Eng Sample: 2D2832E6UIVG5_42/36_N.

This is a Sharktooth CPU (code name of Threadripper 3000) with a base clock of 3.6GHz and a turbo boost of 4.2GHz and has an average clock speed of 3.75GHz. With a huge 128MB of cache memory, this CPU has 35% better performance over the 2990WX. 

AMD Threadripper 3000 Benchmarks leaked, up to 32 Cores at 4.2 GHz

The Threadripper 3000 CPU scored 5649 points in multi-core and 135 points in single-core which is pretty high as compared to 4328 and 118 points of the previous generation Threadripper 2990WX processor.

The previous sample that was leaked had 18.5% faster than last year’s 2990WX and carried a name tag of AMD 100-000000011-11. On the other hand, this CPU is codenamed AMD 100-000000011-12 and we feel this to be a higher-end model with greater performance.

AMD may use this opportunity to launch a new motherboard based on TR4 socket while maintaining backwards-compatibility with the AMD X399 chipset motherboards. This test too was conducted on a prototype board developed by AMD codenamed as “WhiteHavenOC-CP”.

AMD Threadripper 3000 Benchmarks leaked, up to 32 Cores at 4.2 GHz

This new chipset will enable PCI-E gen 4.0 and can come with stiffer CPU VRM and memory/PCIe wiring specifications to enable higher memory clocks and PCIe link stability. 

The 3rd generation of Threadrippers is expected to launch on the 7th of September 2019. These processors will have a TDP range of 250W and will be priced similarly to the last-gen Threadripper 2990WX at around $1,699.

Realme Q is the first phone to have a 64MP quad-camera shooter.

Realme Q is going to dominate the market…

Realme recently began teasing the launch of a new Q-series of phones in China. An official teaser image of the Realme Q revealed that the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 712 SoC and will pack quad rear cameras has been teased in the official account of Weibo China. But, the phone’s design looked strikingly similar to the Realme 5 Pro. Now, a full set of leaked Realme Q hands-on images suggests that the phone might well be a rebranded version of the Realme 5 Pro.

PC: Weibo

After teasing the launch of Realme Q series in China, the company yesterday dropped a poster showing the Realme Q itself, revealing that the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 712, which is the same SoC that powers the Realme 5 Pro as well. Moreover, the phone depicted in the poster looks identical to the Realme 5 Pro, down to the quad rear cameras and the company’s signature diamond-cut design with a gradient finish.

PC: Weibo

And if that was not enough of an unofficial confirmation, a whole set of leaked hands-on images showing the Realme Q’s retail package and the phone itself from all angles suggest that it is indeed a rebranded version of the Realme 5 Pro. The leaked images, which surfaced on Weibo, show the Realme Q which looks identical to the Realme 5 Pro’s Crystal Green colour variant.

It is also worth mentioning that the Realme 5 Pro was recently spotted on TENAA, lending more strength to the speculation that the phone will almost definitely hit the shelves in China, but under a different name if Realme’s Q-series campaign is anything to go by.

PC: Weibo

If that turns out to be true, the Realme Q will sport a 6.3-inch full-HD+ (1080×2340 pixels) display and will draw power from the Snapdragon 712 SoC paired with up to 8GB of RAM. The lights will be kept on by a 4,035mAh battery with support for VOOC 3.0 fast charging technology. As for the imaging hardware, we can expect the Realme Q to pack a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 primary sensor, assisted by an 8-megapixel depth sensor, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel portrait lens, while selfies will be handled by a 16-megapixel front camera.

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling joins Roma

Roma have confirmed the signing of Manchester United outcast Chris Smalling on a season-long loan.

Chris Smalling made 24 Premier League appearances last season. But Manchester United have bought Harry Maguire from Leicester City for a record fee. So Solskjaer have now given the 29-year-old the permission to leave. He has informed the England international that he would not feature as a regular this season.

Smalling has not made an appearance so far this campaign. And has now decided to make his career elsewhere. He has finalized his move to the Serie A side Roma on a season-long loan.

https://twitter.com/ASRomaEN/status/1167497343769427968

Roma have officially announced Chris Smalling’s signing on a one-year loan deal for a reported €3m fee. The deal does not include an option to purchase him permanently at the end of the season.

Roma have lost their star centre-back Kostas Manolas to Napoli earlier this summer. So they were keen to sign an experienced central defender before the transfer window closes. Smalling has been at Old Trafford since 2010, having arrived from Fulham. He has 8 years of Premier League experience which made him the perfect player for Roma.

chris smalling

Solskjaer told a news conference earlier on Friday: “There haven’t been a lot of English players in Italy. I think he’ll enjoy the experience and I’m sure he’ll come back stronger and better for it.”

Chris Smalling’s departure comes after Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku joined Roma’s Serie A rivals Inter this summer while Matteo Darmian is also set to sign for Parma.
