AMD Launches Six New Desktop CPU Models

Beginning with Zen 3 based Ryzen 5000, there are presently three new models. Deeply/16-string 5800X yet with support/base timekeepers diminished to 4.6/3.4GHz. Accordingly, it currently has a lower TDP of 65W and a sticker price of $299. Like the 5800X, you don’t get a container cooler with the 5700X regardless of the lower TDP. Similarly, the 6-core/12-string 5600X with timekeepers diminished to 4.4/3.5 GHz. It’s evaluated at $199 and incorporates the Wraith Stealth cooler.

Similarly, the 6-core/12-string 5600X with timekeepers diminished to 4.4/3.5GHz. It’s evaluated at $199 and incorporates the Wraith Stealth cooler. At the base finish of the 5000 series is the new Ryzen 5 5500. The 5500 is the 5600G with the coordinated Vega 7 GPU disabled, and timekeepers decreased to 4.2/3.6GHz. This additionally implies it gets just 19MB of the store (16MB L3, 3MB L2) and PCIe 3.0 help, as it were. It’s evaluated at $159 and accompanies a Wraith Stealth box cooler.

AMD introduced the Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU returned in January at the same time as teasing the Ryzen 7000 computing device processors. This new Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor builds upon the prevailing octa-middle Ryzen 7 5800X CPU to provide extra overall performance with AMD’s 3-D V-Cache memory. In addition to the new Ryzen 5000 series chips, AMD will also launch three Ryzen 4000 SKUs (Ryzen 5 4600G, Ryzen 5 4500, and Ryzen 3 4100). All of these are 65WTDP entry-level chips for modest buyers.

The 5800X3D is a 5800X powered by AMD’s 3D VCache technology and significantly uses 3D die stacking to increase cache capacity. The standard 5800X has a significant 32MB L3 cache, while the 5800X3D has a whopping 96MB L3 cache. According to AMD, the 5800X is 15 times better than the 5900X in gaming, making it the fastest gaming CPU on the market. The Ryzen 7 5700X is valued at $299, while the Ryzen 5 5600 and the Ryzen 5 5500 will cost you $199 and $159, individually. Concerning the Ryzen 4000 SKUs, they start at $99 for the Ryzen 3 4100 and go up to $154 for the Ryzen 5 4600G with an iGPU. AMD has just declared the accessibility for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. However, we’re anticipating that different CPUs should hit the racks toward the beginning of April.

Founders Club: Aakrit Vaish / Co-Founder and CEO, Haptik

Ex: How have things changed ever since Reliance Industries acquired Haptik?

Aakrit: The strategic investment by Jio has helped Haptik secure the support and resources needed to massively scale up operations – enhancing and expanding our Enterprise CX platform that caters to 300+ clients today. This partnership has also boosted Haptik’s existing enterprise business, augmenting our ability to build innovative solutions for enterprise partners across the globe.

Ex: Could you explain Conversational AI in simple terms?

Aakrit: Conversational AI is the term that can be used to describe an AI-enabled chat solution on the brand’s website, app, and any other messaging platforms, and they are widely known as “chatbots”. Brands can leverage the capabilities of a Conversational AI solution to enhance their CX and NPS. We can deploy a Conversational AI solution to reduce customer support costs, boost customer engagement and increase sales.

Ex: How does Haptik stand out in an ocean of similar service providers?

Aakrit: Haptik is the Conversational AI industry pioneer and operates at an unparalleled scale. Haptik also enjoys the trust of some of India’s largest brands. Haptik offers an end-to-end 360° holistic CX suite to our customers. Haptik’s proprietary Natural Language Understanding (NLU) leads the industry with the most human-like conversational experience for our customers.

Haptik enables Enterprise-grade architecture with 200k CCU and 99.9% uptime. Its compliance with GDPR and ISO: 27001 ensures the highest security practices in place for your brand. Apart from having the best-in-class technology, our partners get a top-notch Customer Success team who understands their business goals & objectives and aligns the solution to meet such needs. 

Ex: Why should you add Instagram chatbots to your CX stack?

Aakrit: Messaging is an integral part of Instagram; it helps customers connect with brands personally through multiple avenues like Feed, Stories, Mentions, and DM’s. It is a solid revenue stream for many brands. It boosts sales by accelerating the decision-making process for customers, increases average cart order, improves conversions, and drives repeat purchases. The AI chatbot can collect basic user details such as email, phone number, and intent of reaching out.

Instagram chatbots can answer prices, order statuses, cancellations, and other typical questions. If a customer issue is complicated, it can be automatically escalated to a live person based on their skill sets and current workload, leading to faster responses, lower wait times, and improved customer satisfaction. Instagram chatbots can also be leveraged to drive deeper customer engagement through unique features such as Trigger keyword-based conversations, Icebreakers & Advertising CTA.

Ex: What are the current and emerging trends of WhatsApp e-commerce?

Aakrit: WhatsApp recently launched its new UI elements, a game-changer for the Conversational Commerce space. The new UI elements will boost the adoption of WhatsApp as a substantial revenue generator for multiple brands across different industries. 

WhatsApp also launched Marketing Notifications, known as non-transactional messages, to revolutionize how brands imagine customer engagement. In addition to the new UI elements, WhatsApp has also enabled brands to provide a seamless 3-click payment experience.

Ex: How are small businesses using WhatsApp to drive sales?

Aakrit: WhatsApp has been an asset for every small business. WhatsApp’s products have always prioritized the growth of SMBs. Haptik launched Interakt, a custom WhatsApp solution for small business owners who want to leverage the power of WhatsApp. With the help of WhatsApp Catalogs & Carts, brands can transform WhatsApp into a sales channel by helping customers discover & purchase products here!

The Automated Business Notifications feature enables brands to efficiently manage customer conversations and improve their experience by creating automated workflows. Businesses can also send Bulk Campaigns & Broadcasts to reach out to their customers with relevant communication to build recall and boost sales. Brands can also roll out high-performing, top-of-the-mind notifications to alert users about new product catalogues, back-in-stock goods, and much more. 

Ex: What are Haptik’s plans for growth and future endeavours?

Aakrit: We always think of expansion in terms of three different axis: new geography, new products, and new types of customers. As far as geography is concerned, we’ve expanded into four new countries this past year, all of which are in the development stage right now – North America (USA), South East Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines), Africa.

The second axis is new products. We have launched three to five new products this year, all beyond the standard chatbot offering. These include AI Agent Assist, Voice bot, Email bot, and two more products are coming up this month. And then finally, the third axis is new types of customers. Before this year, we have exclusively focused on Enterprise Customers. But this year, we launched a product for small and medium businesses, which is called Interakt. Interakt in one year is approaching almost half a million dollars in ARR. It is already contributing to roughly 5% of Haptik’s business, and in the next financial year, it could contribute to maybe 20% of Haptik’s business.

Review – OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G – Affordable & Admirable

OnePlus is a brand that entered into the world of smartphones with premium smartphones, and until today it is known for its flagship devices only. However, the Chinese brand has manufactured many mid-range smartphones in the last couple of years, including their most popular NORD series. The company recently added another mid-range smartphone on their resume – OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G, an updated version of the OnePlus Nord CE.

First Impressions

The new Nord looks admirable, and one can immediately fall in love with this smartphone, but one thing I would like to glorify here – the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is not altogether a new smartphone, as it makes you think, you are you looking at the identical version of the Oppo Reno7 5G. Sadly, both smartphones are available for sale at the same time in the same marketplaces, and only Oppo will explain why!

Design & Display

Though the smartphone is made for a budget audience, it doesn’t look like one when you hold it for the first time. The subtle looking smartphone has a typical hole punch camera design and looks more premium and separate from the Nord CE. The smartphone has a flat ceramic-like plate on the rear, which is basically a glass made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and it houses its camera module. The smartphone is available in 2 colour options only – Bahama Blue and Gray Mirror. 

The new Nord features 6.43 inches Fluid AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, and it houses a 32MP Sony IMX615 camera with an f/2.4 aperture on the extreme left side of the phone. On the rear side, the smartphone has two large camera sensors and one smaller one, placed right above the flash. The right profile of the phone boasts a lock button, while the left one sports a SIM tray with space for a microSD card and volume rockers.

The bottom edge of the smartphone houses a USB-C charging port, 3.5 mm audio jack, and a speaker grille, while the top edge of the smartphone features a microphone. The Nord CE 2 5G features an in-display fingerprint sensor, and it’s pretty quick all the time. Sometimes the contrast of the phone gets a little too heavy due to the dark bezels of the phone, causing trouble to the eyes.

Chipset & Performance

The Nord CE 2 5G gets OxygenOS 11.3 out of the box and features a MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset, but still, you should not expect lightning-fast reaction times and absolutely zero lag from the mid-range smartphones as they’re not built for the same. However, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G offers decent performance and is fast enough, especially compared to the other smartphones in the mid-range category.

The company has advertised the smartphone as having fast-smooth performance, and in most gaming sessions, it works fine without much of an issue. In our short gaming test, the phone seemed powerful enough to offer a pretty good touch response and handling while playing games such as Asphalt 9: Legends and Marvel Future Revolution. Though, sometimes the back of the phone got a little warm during long gaming sessions.

Camera & Battery

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G sports a triple camera setup (64-MP primary camera, an 8-MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2-MP macro camera) on the back, with each camera having a metal rim. While in the front, you get a 16-MP selfie camera with an f/2.4 aperture. The primary camera offers decent and exploited daylight images, but not as good as the Nord 2. In the lower light conditions, it fails to deliver anything good and delivers dark and artificially sharp clicks.

When it comes to the selfie camera, it doesn’t even offer proper skin tones. All you get in the outcomes are over-softened images. The low-light camera performance could be better, but it is a mid-range smartphone and focusing on that, what it offers is pretty enough. The battery of the smartphone is genuinely excellent and lasts long for over 24 hours, even after heavy use. It has a 4,500mAh battery, and to pump up the battery quickly, the phone comes with a 65W fast-charging support.

Verdict

Overall, the Nord CE 2 5G is a decent buy and worth the price, especially when you haven’t experienced the previous model. The mid-range smartphone market is very congested as many companies are trying to fit their smartphones in the range, including Apple. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is a complete package and can be referred to as an everyday phone. However, there are other smartphones in the market too that you can consider, such as Realme 9 Pro+, Mi 11X and Xiaomi 11i.

Apple March 2022 Event Highlights – iPhone SE 3, iPad Air 5 and Apple M1 Ultra Chip

February 2022 was a month of smartphone launches, but sadly Apple didn’t launch anything in the month, which was a little disappointing. However, yesterday, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, Apple unveiled several products, including iPhone SE 3, iPad Air 5, Mac Studio, Apple Studio Display and Apple M1 Ultra chip. Let’s take a look at them one by one.

iPhone SE 3

Apple unveiled iPhone SE 3 at the event, which looks the same as the iPhone 6 design but offers much more. The new iPhone SE (2022) runs on an A15 chipset, the same as the iPhone 13 series. The display and storage options remain the same as it was on the previous model – 4.7″ and 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The smartphone has an enhanced battery, superstar camera, an incredible water resistance feature, and of course, a home button, which some of us love while some don’t.

iPad Air 5

The newly launched iPad Air 5 stands firmly between the cheap iPads and expensive iPads. It has Apple’s M1 chipset and optional 5G support with eSIM, but the base model is Wi-Fi-only. The M1 chip allows the iPad Air 5 to match the iPad Pro in performance. 

The Air 5 also features the new ultrawide front camera with Center Stage, which automatically pans during video calls. The iPad Air 5 features a 10.9″ Liquid Retina display, landscape stereo speakers, Touch ID, and on the back, it has a 12-MP camera.

Along with these two, Apple also launched a supercharged Mac mini with an M1 Max chip and a 27-inch studio display with 5K resolution and 600 nits, which also has a 12-MP camera and powerful speaker system. Lastly, Apple announced its most powerful ARM-based custom processor, the Apple M1 Ultra chip, which packs a 20-core CPU, 64-core GPU and 32-core Neural Engine.

 

Instagram removed Standalone apps, Boomerang and Hyperlapse from Play Store and App Store

Technology can indeed be regarded as the marvel of the 21st century. The dynamic pace at which technology is becoming obsolete and replaced by new technology is commendable. Today, the way people connect and communicate clearly elucidates the fact that communication technology has evolved drastically.

Back in 2006, when Facebook was officially launched in India, it immediately replaced the then social media applications like Orkut. Facebook, followed by WhatsApp and then Instagram, has clearly revolutionized the segment of personal communication. Instagram undeniably is the bearer of the limelight. It allows its users to click pictures, followed by various filters to edit the picture and upload on the same platform.

Two of the most recognized filters of the gram are hyperlapse and boomerang, which are now removed from the apple and google play stores. The primary question that arises is why these filters are removed despite being so much in demand. The answer is that the feature of these applications is being integrated into Instagram itself, thus eliminating the need for standalone applications.

One of the key advantages of integrating these filters in Instagram is that it eases the use. Instead of using two separate applications, one application comes in handy. Second, Instagram possesses more downloads and usage than these two applications combined, thus increasing the more frequent use of these filters. Third, it helps in mainstreaming the images on one platform and hence is eases the hassle of saving images separately on a different application.
