1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,160 Here's the difference between you and me, okay? You love tech news and 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,679 I love you. Speaking of, what's not to 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:18,720 love about today's announcements from AMD? Holy snikes. Did you see that? Wow. 4 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,560 Dr. Lisa Sue and her minions graced us with new Radeon graphics cards, 5 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:28,320 specifically the RX6800, 6800 XT, and 6T900 XT. Nice. 6 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:33,559 Thank you. AMD's performance numbers have the RX6800 beating the RTX 2080 Ti 7 00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:41,200 at 4K for $579 and the RX6800 XT trading blows 8 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:44,719 with the RTX3080 for $649. That's $50 9 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,440 less than the 3080 price, James Math. 10 00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:54,000 And the RX6900 XT matches the performance of the $1,500 11 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:59,120 RTX3090 for $9.99. Nice. Turns out Big 12 00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,840 Nav'i was no joke. Hey, listen. 13 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,439 You get that? It's a Zelda joke. The cards are packing a few new interesting 14 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,600 features. Some are less exciting, like rage mode, which will boost performance 15 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:14,479 by 1 or 2%. But some are more exciting, like smart access memory, which will 16 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:20,479 give Ryzen 5000 series processors direct access to these new Radeon GPUs 16 GB of 17 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:25,840 GDDR6 memory, potentially boosting performance by as much as 6 to 10%. 18 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:30,320 Okay, man. No wonder AMD bought Zillinks for 35 billion a couple days ago. Right 19 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,479 now, they are just high on life. Now, we didn't see any ray tracing performance 20 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:39,360 claims today or AMD's answer to NVIDIA's DLSS that they're supposedly working on, 21 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:44,720 but I think it's official. Radeon is no longer the ugly sister to Ryzen. Hot 22 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:49,200 cousin. Radeon got a nose job. Damn. Radeon is on a glow up. You got a butt 23 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,720 lift. What's that? There was another graphics card launch yesterday, too. Oh, 24 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:59,280 that's weird. I thought NVIDIA had already released their cards, but no, they actually delayed the unveiling of 25 00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:01,680 the RTX 3070 until the day before AMD's 26 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,960 Radeon event in what seems like a sad attempt to be like, "Hey, uh uh wait, uh 27 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,679 don't look over there. That's not You know what? Uh we got backwards fans." 28 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,879 But the 3070 actually seems pretty good. It's got RTX 2080 Ti level performance 29 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,560 for $499, which would probably blow our minds a bit more if we weren't being 30 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:22,720 spoiled for GPU performance across the board with this new generation. The 3070 31 00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:27,360 will be available tomorrow, but if leaks are any indication, this is far from the 32 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:31,640 last 3000 series card NVIDIA has in the pipeline. References to both an RTX 3080 33 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,239 Ti and a 360Ti are popping up online, so budget 34 00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:40,720 gamers might see some nice trickle down effects of all this sudden competition 35 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,640 in the graphics market. More like NVIDIA is getting trickled down on by AMD 36 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,200 because they're it's like they're move on peeing on them. And Apple may be 37 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:55,760 getting serious about building a search engine competitor to Google. It's 38 00:02:53,440 --> 00:03:00,239 estimated that Google pays Apple 8 to 12 billion dollar a year to be the default 39 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,840 search engine on iOS. But Google is currently being sued by the US 40 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,400 government over antitrust because of deals just like that. If the Department 41 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,879 of Justice deems those deals anti-competitive, Apple may lose that 42 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:18,000 income. So, it makes sense Apple would want their own in-house search solution. 43 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,519 They call it I search. I I search iOS 14 44 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,480 has actually already integrated some of Apple's search technology as the swipe 45 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,879 down search box shows its own results 46 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,000 and links users directly to websites. This is all speculative though and an 47 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:34,319 Apple search engine would definitely be an anomaly in Apple's business model. I 48 00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:40,080 find I got my own unless they sell access for 49 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,560 six bucks a month. Apple web plus it's a 50 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:48,720 more curated experience. Very very tight. It only goes to apple.com. It's 51 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,720 time for 52 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:55,360 QuickBits. Nintendo has already released cloud streaming versions of a few games 53 00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:58,799 in Japan, but now they're bringing the technology to the rest of the world. The 54 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,799 Switch is getting cloud versions of Hitman 3 and Control, which makes sense 55 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,080 since that second title specifically can be pretty graphically intensive. 56 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,319 Hopefully, this means we get more Switch ports of fancy looking games, even if it 57 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,519 means that it kind of negates the entire portable side of the Switch equation. 58 00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:20,320 Don't try to play these on the bus. You look so stupid. The Oculus Quest 2 has 59 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:25,360 reportedly been jailbroken by a nonprofit group called XRSi, meaning the 60 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:31,759 headset's mandatory Facebook login can be bypassed. Plus users rejoice. 61 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,320 Plus, a Mosilla developer and Oculus's 62 00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:37,919 exiled founder, Palmer Lucky, had both put up $5,000 as a prize for 63 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,199 jailbreaking the device. It's unclear how Facebook will respond, but we might 64 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,759 see a Nintendo Switch situation where they patch the flaw and release new 65 00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:51,600 unjailbreakable devices. So, if you want in on the hackery, you better start your 66 00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:53,360 quest now. Listen, 67 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:58,960 games are having a hard week. That's right, games in general. Cyberpunk 2077 68 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,520 has been delayed again to December 10th. And please don't get mad at the 69 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,880 developers. They're working like 18our days right now on the 31st. Okay. is uh 70 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,400 the director for Halo Infinite has stepped down from the project. Always a 71 00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:15,280 great sign. And Watchd Dogs Legion apparently has a bug that causes Xbox 72 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:21,280 One X's to overheat and shut down during a mission. The mission's title is 404. 73 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:26,080 Is that for real? Yes. Oh my god. But good news for PSVR owners. Sony is 74 00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:29,680 giving out free PS5 adapters for the headset so you can jump right into VR 75 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,479 when you get your new console. Take me on in squadrons. Just kidding. Don't. 76 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,880 I've only played one multiplayer match. Babies, you know, the kids been playing 77 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,800 a lot, just not me. And the website for the Trump campaign was briefly hacked 78 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,560 last night. The perpetrators took the opportunity to display a badly 79 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:52,160 misspelled allegation that Trump was involved in the origin of the Corona 80 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,240 virus and asked people to vote by 81 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,840 sending the hackers money. Very confusing development overall, but the 82 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,039 site's back to normal now and at least everybody had fun. And if you want to 83 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,000 have some more fun, come back on Friday for more tech news.
