AMD Ryzen 4000 Desktop CPUs and Navi 2x GPUs Might Launch in October 2020edit
According to a report from WCCFTech, AMD is looking to launch its Ryzen 4000 desktop CPUs and the 2nd Gen Navi 2x GPUs simultaneously in October this year. The announcement is expected to come earlier, somewhere in early Q3 2020, either late August or September while the hard launch will follow in October. Keep in mind that this rumor hasn’t been confirmed by any of our sources, so take it with a grain of salt. However, as AMD already confirmed at the FAD earlier, their next-gen CPUs and GPUs are slated for launch in Q4 2020, so it can’t be too far off the mark either.

Coronavirus crisis may fast-forward IT’s work-from-home adoptionedit
As many employees, especially in the software services sector, are forced to work from home due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the move could turn out to be an inflection point for the Indian IT industry, experts said. Nearly half of India’s technology workers – estimated at 3 million – have already begun to work from home as social distancing becomes key to contain the spread of the outbreak. If employees continue to work from home for a few more months, IT companies are likely to conclude 20-30% of their workforce can operate remotely, said Sridhar Mitta, founder of NextWealth Entrepreneurs, a firm that has more than 2,000 people offering services remotely.
