I am pretty sure that it's simply an automatic penalty (9 points IIRC), as far as I am aware none of their actual results are changed, they simply lose the points from their total.

The 9 point deduction is when they go into Administration which is totally different to being Wound up. I found this on the subject: Portsmouth Wind up Q&A

How would it effect the rest of the Premier League season?

All Portsmouth's results so far would be wiped out and the points removed from the teams who beat or drew with them. The goals for and against would also be expunged. This would give an immediate boost to teams like Liverpool, who surprisingly lost 2-0 to Portsmouth in December. The sides most effected would be Manchester United and Arsenal, who both dished out hidings home and away to Pompey this season.

Personally i think the Premier League are doing everything to stop this happening as it'll look bad for them on the whole which is why they'll let the Football League deal with it when (let's face it they are) they get relegated.

So we'd get the 3 points back, and the goals, or just the goals? :/

But agreed, overturning results would look pretty bad, but I personally hope that they can find their way out of the trouble they are in.

Pompey sign Tosic on a free:

So they have enough trouble paying their players wages so they add more to it, How the hell is this possible? Besides aren't they supposed to be insolvent and still trading correct me if i'm wrong but isn't that illegal?

Not to mention I thought that the PL had put a transfer ban on them until they sorted their finances out :/

Well its not up for us fans to say if they are insolvent or not. ?Its up for the club and HMRC.

There is a transfer ban, but that covers only transfers to and from clubs on a permanent basis. ?We can still do loan signings and sign players who are out of contract (free agents)

As for the wages bit, well you never know Chainrai might be paying for that or they have the money from transfer to pay them. ?Then there is also future income. So saying we're insolvent is quite a big statement that could well fall flat! Plus the league may have kept back some of the money (at one point we asked them to!). ? Staff and Players have got payed (all be it late), an insolvent company would not be able to do that (because they have no cash, we do)

The thing with Pompey and the League is to take what they say with a pinch of salt, they keep twisting and turning and you will never get to hear the real truth.?

Plus this issue with the HMRC is a bit of a muddle. ?The club say certain parts of it they accept and have offered to pay some off now, but there this winding up also includes a tax bill the club disputes. ?They took this to court and lost, but the judge said because the club may well have good ground they can appeal, which I think they have. ?But HMRC are being unkind and won't remove it from this, they say it's a delaying tatic, well it might be but how can they ask for it now when it's being disputed in a different court case!

Plus we may have new buyers. ?You know something like other clubs are infact relying on to keep them ticking over!?

The reason why we're in this mess is simply because all the previous owners are a bunch of crooks with no business sense. ? ?I have concerns about the current one, so far most of them have links to one another and not very legal ones at that!?

We're going to do a statement of affairs, this could well prove we are solvent and have infact got future income that will clear this all away! The League are that worried about HMRC they may well ask the clubs if they want some TV money now or at least let pompey have theres.

I would not be suprised if another club in the league gets it back against the wall. ?I'm sure some of them would be up a creak without a paddle if the owners pulled out!

You aren't wrong on that one, pretty much every club in the league is in debt, so if you look at it that way, there isn't a club in the league that would technically meet the definition of solvent. Gotta be honest I am starting to get the impression that pompey's future is starting to look somewhat bleak, but I do hope they don't go under.

Although I will agree that the HMRC are being a bit hard, to them the club is just another business, and they have to do everything legally and by the book.

I would imagine the Premier League will try and keep you afloat until the end of the season, so they can keep their status as being the most prettiest and most bestest league in the world.

After you are relegated they will bin you off, and you will cease to exist unless you somehow find a serious buyer.

Mikael Silvestre has become fed up with Arsenal boss Ars?ne Wenger and will quit the club at the end of the season, according to The Mirror.

Despite some extended runs in the first team last term after moving from Manchester United, the 32-year-old defender has since settled into a fringe role with the emergence of Thomas Vermaelen.

And the Frenchman is reported to be so unhappy with how low he has sunk in Wenger's estimations that he has decided to quit Ashburton Grove in the summer.

With Philippe Senderos on loan at Everton, Silvestre had expected to be named in the matchday squad for the midweek Premier League clash against Liverpool as back-up for Vermaelen, William Gallas and left-back Gael Clichy.

Sol Campbell and Armand Traore were included instead, and it is said that the former Inter player lost his cool in front of his team-mates when he learned of this latest snub.

Even more frustrating for Silvestre is that he allegedly knocked back the advances of Paris Saint-Germain during the January transfer window because he thought he remained a valued member of Wenger's squad.

Good riddance! Best news I've read all year concerning us.. hopefully this will start an exodus with Denilson and Almunia following him out..

My brother said exactly the same thing when he read that and also added Bendtner to that list. I don't understand why he hates Bendtner so much i think hes an alright player. Thing is though will Wenger replace them with new signings or give the youth players a chance.

If Fabregas should leave for the £60m Barca are reportedly willing to pay for him, then he can buy a whole lot of new players :p

But I hope he stays for a few seasons more at least!

I hope he never leaves.. I want him to retire with us.. wishful thinking if we keep going so season after season.. we need trophies to keep and attract new players and the management at Ashburton Grove should decide where they want his club to be.. do they want us to be a top club or just a club that struggles to hold on to top 4 spot.. coz it will be even harder to be in top 4 next year with Villa, Everton, City and Spuds getting stronger

It?s been reported that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger apparently made an 11th hour attempt to sign Everton?s former Manchester United striker Louis Saha on deadline day of the January transfer window.

The Gunners? striking problems have been well documented this season, and Wenger felt the situation was so bad that drastic action was called for.

Everton David Moyes, however, wasn?t interested and the bid was rejected outright by the Merseyside club, according to reports.

Did anyone else see this? Would've been great had we signed him.. he's a very handy player and can play as a lone striker in our system..

Good man Masch.

Javier Mascherano has insisted he will never play for Manchester City.

The Argentine says that City can pay as much as they want for players - but they you 'can't buy history'.

The 25-year-old, who himself is one of several big names linked with City in recent times, insists he could never be lured to Eastlands.

"City have bought some very good players and they have a very good team, but I will say one thing - you can buy players, but you cannot buy history," he said.

"I certainly don't want to play for City.

"You can buy stars, you can spend a lot of money to be in the top four, more than us I know, but you can't buy what we have at Anfield.

"Here we play with the history of the club behind us. We don't have their money but we are proud to play for Liverpool.

"I know that they have the money and they are building a good side but I am still so proud to play for Liverpool."

Liverpool travel to City on Sunday, and Mascherano knows defeat would leave the Manchester side in pole-position to claim fourth place.

"It is normal for Liverpool to play under pressure all the time, but maybe not for City," he said.

"And although they have spent a lot of money to reach the top four, and have some good players, so do we.

"I think City respect Liverpool because of our history. We will fight until the end."

Mascherano will not get the chance to face his compatriot and close-friend Carlos Tevez in the match as he is currently back in Argentina after the premature birth of his daughter.

"We know it will be good for us if Carlito cannot play because we know how good he is," he said.

"I have spoken to him this week but not about football, but because I was worried as the baby was born early.

"I still don't know whether he will stay in Argentina or come back and play. The main thing for me, the only thing, is that he is happy and the baby is well. If he plays, he plays, but the family is the main thing."

Hopeful

Mascherano remains hopeful that Liverpool will seal the final Champions League spot.

"We are in the position where it depends on us. If we succeed, they will have problems, so we have to do our job," he said.

"So we know how important it is to win. If we manage it, then it'll be more difficult for them and they will be the ones under more pressure, that's for sure.

"I know everybody is expecting us to be in the top four - but I have the belief and confidence that we can be there.

"It's true, our experience of having been there already could be important. It depends on the players and if they can manage things well.

"But over the last four or five years we've done well in various competitions so this can hopefully help us. We have managed the pressure well.

"Ourselves and City, as well as Tottenham and Aston Villa, are in a position where we have to keep going until the end.

"Perhaps one game can be a big difference, so it's important to manage the pressure and maybe our experience can help.

"Perhaps City fans are expecting the team to do better now and they will have a little bit of pressure - and maybe it will be more difficult for them.

"But the most important thing for us is not to concentrate on City, but on us. We need to be in a good position and have the chance to invest in the future."

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.

    • AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week, we shared the first part of our review of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE. It was about the gaming performance of the GPU, and we gave it an 8 out of 10. As a follow-up, similar to how we did with the 9070 XT and non-XT, we are doing a dedicated productivity review for the RX 9070 GRE as well, where we compare it against the 9070 XT, 9070, 7800 XT, as well as Nvidia's 5070 and 4070. This will include AI, rendering, compute, and more benchmarks. AI performance, especially, is a very important metric in today's world, and AMD also promised big improvements thanks to its underlying architectural improvements. We will be pitching it against the data we already have for the RX 9070, and RX 9070 XT, but also the Nvidia 5070 FE, MSI GeForce RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X 12G, and Gigabyte Radeon RX 7800 XT GAMING OC 16G as they are in a similar price class, but also because we do not have a comparable 5060 Ti card lying around here that we can compare it against. Before we get underway, this is a collaboration between Sayan Sen and Steven Parker, who lent me his test bed. Also, there was no editorial input from AMD. First up, the specs of the RX 9070, 9070 XT, and 9070 GRE, which were given to us by AMD: Radeon RX 9070 GRE Radeon RX 9070 Radeon RX 9070 XT Boost Clock: Game Clock: up to 2.79GHz up to 2.20GHz up to 2.52GHz up to 2.07GHz up to 2.97GHz up to 2.40GHz Stream Processors 3,072 (48 CU) 3,584 (56 CU) 4,096 (64 CU) Ray Accelerator 48 56 64 AI Accelerator 96 112 128 ROPs 96 128 Texture Mapping Units 192 224 256 Memory 12 GB GDDR6, 18Gbps Clock, 192-bit Bus 432 GB/s 16 GB GDDR6, 20Gbps Clock, 256-bit Bus Effective Memory Bandwidth: 640 GB/s Infinity Cache 48 MB (3rd Gen) 64 MB (3rd Gen) Card Bus PCI-E 5.0 X16 Output 2x HDMI 2.1b 2x DisplayPort 2.1a Power consumption 220W 304W Recommended PSU 650W 750W Slot width 2x 3x Price (SEP) $549 $599 As you can see from the specs above, it is less than the standard RX 9070 in every way that counts, except for slightly higher Boost and Game clock speed. Design Moving on, the RX 9070 GRE we were given is an XFX Swift triple-fan, dual-slot design with two 8-pin connectors. At 30cm (self-measured), it will fit in most systems easily. There is no RGB either. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE by XFX from all angles. Test system Our test system consists of the following: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow (Amazon|Newegg) ASUS Z890 ProArt Creator WiFi (Amazon|Newegg) Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus (Amazon|Newegg) Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet - 44x37 (Amazon|Newegg) 2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB (7200 MT/s in XMP) (Amazon|Newegg) Sabrent Rocket4 Plus 2TB SSD (Amazon) Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.8246) AMD shared a press driver based on the recently released Adrenaline 26.5.2 that we were required to use. We now move on to our benchmarks. First up, we have Geekbench AI running on ONNX. For some reason, the 9070 GRE does exceptionally well here in both half-precision (FP16) and single-precision (FP32). It manages to beat the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 non-XT, and is only behind the 9070 XT. Since Geekbench runs in short bursts instead of continuously hammering the graphics card, it seems the GRE's faster boost clocks are helping here. Next up, we move to the UL Procyon AI test suite, starting with the image generation benchmark. We chose the Stable Diffusion XL FP16 test since it is the most intense workload available on Procyon. The Nvidia cards do very well here, as even the 4070 out-muscles AMD's best fairy easily. The positive thing about the GRE is that it gets quite close to the 9070 non-XT in this test; this indicates that the VRAM does not play a very big role here, as SD XL relies on float16 (FP16). So this is something to keep in mind again. If you wish to work with float32 AI workloads, graphics cards with larger than 12 GB buffers would likely emerge as victors. Regardless, the gains are still massive on AMD's 9000 series compared to the 7000 series. Following image generation, we move to the text generation benchmark. This is one test where the 9070 GRE struggled, quite a lot. It seems that the 12 GB VRAM and lower memory bandwidth of the new Radeon 9070 GRE are hurting it quite a bit; the split is massive, especially in a test like Llama2, which packs 13 billion parameters. As such, in all the tests, the 9070 GRE is the slowest of the lot. Next, we tried Blender, and here the AMD GPUs were beaten by Nvidia. Rendering is something the Green team has always had a lead over the Red side, and it has not changed so far. On the positive side, though, the 9070 GRE shows significantly better results than the 7800 XT, which means AMD is on the right path. Catching up to Nvidia, though, will require a lot more effort. And we hope HIP and ROCm can keep improving. Wrapping up AI testing, we measured OpenCL throughput in the Geekbench compute benchmark. The RX 9070 GRE alongside the 9070 did not fare well here at all, even falling behind the 7800 XT. Interestingly, even the RTX 5070 could not beat the 4070 on OpenCL, so perhaps this suggests that OpenCL optimization may not have been a priority for either AMD or Nvidia in the modern era. Conclusion We reached the end of our productivity performance review of the 9070 GRE, and we have to say it's a mixed bag. Unlike the 9070 and 9070 XT, the GRE excels in some areas while losing ground fairly easily in others. Similar to how it happened in gaming, any time the card's memory subsystem gets hammered, it tends to fall behind the others. This was the case with text generation, wherein we saw the VRAM sometimes hit its maximum available 12 GB of usage with larger model sizes. So what do we make of the RX 9070 as a productivity hardware? It can certainly be used, but you have to know it has its limitations. For those looking for a GPU that can deal with more, AMD recently unveiled the Radeon AI PRO R9700, which is essentially a 32 GB refresh of the 9070 XT with some additional workstation-based optimizations. On a similar note, the new Ryzen AI Halo platform is something you can consider if you want to set up a local AI processing station. Considering everything, we rate AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE a 7.5 out of 10 for its productivity performance. Price is less of a factor for those looking at productivity cases compared to those considering the GPU for gaming, and as such, we felt it did quite decently on many occasions and can be handy if you need a 12 GB GPU and, for some reason, don't want to get Nvidia.
