oh man
did you hear about that some tech news that already happened
we've gotten our first review of an Intel discreet graphics card thanks to
youtuber eta prime getting his hands on a pre-built system from cyberpower with
the Intel gg1 bro
gg yeah we had seen reviews of the sdv
version of the card but that was only distributed to software developers while
this is the consumer model and unsurprisingly the dg1 is not a great
gaming card it's only about 30 faster than Intel cpus with integrated z
graphics but the dg1 is great at power efficiency meaning more powerful
variants of Intel's gpus could be pretty impressive imagine if you can buy it
though that's that's
the most mind-blowing possibility
indeed a leak from somewhat reliable tipster tom apasak
on twitter indicates that Intel's higher powered dg2 could compete with an rx
6700 xt and an rtx 3070. Intel has said they're
down to use AMD's fidelity fx super resolution feature so maybe that could
boost performance even more in the seven mid-tier games it's rumored to
support at launch look i'm trying to find any little piece of GPU hope i can
in these times okay i believe we'll return to that time when every infant
sleeps with their very own GPU in the crib don't need a blanket
it's pokey builds character speaking of gpus NVIDIA
apparently launched the rtx 3070 ti last week but no one seems to have
seen it anywhere at first it seemed like on launch day
stocks sold out quickly everywhere as expected darn bots and scalpers probably
got everything before anyone else had a chance but many bots and scalpers say
they weren't even able to get cards an operator of one prominent service called
fix it fix it fix it that check stock every 10 seconds claims the card never
even showed up as available to buy NVIDIA hasn't commented on what the heck
happened but the evidence is certainly making it look like this was a paper
launch and every GPU launch is basically a paper launch already now you know what
i'd like is a paper lunch bag i'm quite
hungry james do you have any food in your pockets
and team group has waited long enough and will finally be launching some of
the first consumer grade ddr5 desktop memory modules later this month with
availability at major retailers like amazon and newegg you can grab 32
gigabytes worth of the future for only
399. oh it's probably worth it
now you might say that's weird consumers don't have anything to plug those
puppies into right now because the first consumer motherboards to support ddr5
will be Intel 600 series models reportedly coming this fall but those
rtx 3070 ti scalpers didn't get anything so it's only fair we give them a bit of
a head start for these you know keep it we live in a society wait if i'm riley

wow we're going all over the place here china has successfully launched its
first crewed mission to the country's tianji i'm saying that wrong space
station they were swearing the whole time the
crew docked hours after the launch and will be spending the next few months
preparing for the next 11 launches that will bring the space station to full
functionality in 2022 geez china you're
fast can the west just have a moment to think
about the fact that we won't be number one anymore and grand theft auto online
may be shutting down on ps3 and xbox 360 but console players could try playing
gan theft auto a simulation of the game
generated entirely by a neural network called gamegan the simulation doesn't
involve any actual game code it's just generated by the network after it was
trained on images of gta 5 so playing it
is kind of like being in like a robot's dream dang that's poetic dude watch out
though it will try to inception you oh no the dream is collapsing because this
episode is over come back on monday for more tech news and we'll go
even deeper but smile you're not allowed in
oh that was a reference to the
