is the same thing we do every day riley is just read the tech news tech news i
love that stuff oh so where do i look
i hate you thank you so much AMD has officially announced three new
xt variants of existing ryzen 3000 series processors the chips were rumored
for some time to release this week so i guess the announcement validates those
who risked life and limb to get us this information early we salute you for our
lack of impatience the lineup consists of the six core ryzen 5 3600 xt the 8
core ryzen 7 3800 xt and 12 core ryzen 9
3900 xt each processor has a boost frequency around 100 to 200 megahertz
higher than their non-xt counterparts and are listed at the same msrp it's
free real estate so this is basically the ryzen version
of NVIDIA's rtx super strategy now another rumor was flying around saying
that because AMD's ryzen processors don't really have any compelling
competition cut to Intel shedding a single tier AMD
would delay the upcoming ryzen 4000 desktop processors to next year but AMD
came right out and said that ain't true buddy zen 3 cpus are still on track to
launch in late 2020 so you don't have to reschedule your Intel bashing party we
don't deserve amp they're so good to us
apple is the target of fresh scrutiny over the monopolistic way it handles its
app store as the european commission has announced two anti-trust investigations
into the tech giant the cases are centered around complaints
from spotify and ebook app kobo claiming
that apple's 30 cut of app store revenue amounts to anti-competitive behavior
apple has also been accused of pressuring developers of a paid email
app called hey hey anyways they pressured the
developers to add an in-app subscription option instead of a website-based
sign-up so apple can take their cut apple reportedly threatened to remove
the app if the developers didn't comply even though some other apps aren't held
to the same requirements other developers are speaking out against
apple's practices with epic games calling the app store a monopoly and
