WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.160 Here's the difference between you and me, okay? You love tech news and 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:11.679 I love you. Speaking of, what's not to 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:18.720 love about today's announcements from AMD? Holy snikes. Did you see that? Wow. 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:21.560 Dr. Lisa Sue and her minions graced us with new Radeon graphics cards, 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:28.320 specifically the RX6800, 6800 XT, and 6T900 XT. Nice. 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:33.559 Thank you. AMD's performance numbers have the RX6800 beating the RTX 2080 Ti 00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:41.200 at 4K for $579 and the RX6800 XT trading blows 00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:44.719 with the RTX3080 for $649. That's $50 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.440 less than the 3080 price, James Math. 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:54.000 And the RX6900 XT matches the performance of the $1,500 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:59.120 RTX3090 for $9.99. Nice. Turns out Big 00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:01.840 Nav'i was no joke. Hey, listen. 00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:05.439 You get that? It's a Zelda joke. The cards are packing a few new interesting 00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:09.600 features. Some are less exciting, like rage mode, which will boost performance 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:14.479 by 1 or 2%. But some are more exciting, like smart access memory, which will 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:20.479 give Ryzen 5000 series processors direct access to these new Radeon GPUs 16 GB of 00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:25.840 GDDR6 memory, potentially boosting performance by as much as 6 to 10%. 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.320 Okay, man. No wonder AMD bought Zillinks for 35 billion a couple days ago. Right 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:34.479 now, they are just high on life. Now, we didn't see any ray tracing performance 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:39.360 claims today or AMD's answer to NVIDIA's DLSS that they're supposedly working on, 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:44.720 but I think it's official. Radeon is no longer the ugly sister to Ryzen. Hot 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 00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:52.720 lift. What's that? There was another graphics card launch yesterday, too. Oh, 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 00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:01.680 the RTX 3070 until the day before AMD's 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 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:09.679 don't look over there. That's not You know what? Uh we got backwards fans." 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:14.879 But the 3070 actually seems pretty good. It's got RTX 2080 Ti level performance 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:18.560 for $499, which would probably blow our minds a bit more if we weren't being 00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:22.720 spoiled for GPU performance across the board with this new generation. The 3070 00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:27.360 will be available tomorrow, but if leaks are any indication, this is far from the 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:31.640 last 3000 series card NVIDIA has in the pipeline. References to both an RTX 3080 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.239 Ti and a 360Ti are popping up online, so budget 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:40.720 gamers might see some nice trickle down effects of all this sudden competition 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:46.640 in the graphics market. More like NVIDIA is getting trickled down on by AMD 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 00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:55.760 getting serious about building a search engine competitor to Google. It's 00:02:53.440 --> 00:03:00.239 estimated that Google pays Apple 8 to 12 billion dollar a year to be the default 00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:03.840 search engine on iOS. But Google is currently being sued by the US 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.400 government over antitrust because of deals just like that. If the Department 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.879 of Justice deems those deals anti-competitive, Apple may lose that 00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:18.000 income. So, it makes sense Apple would want their own in-house search solution. 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.519 They call it I search. I I search iOS 14 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.480 has actually already integrated some of Apple's search technology as the swipe 00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:26.879 down search box shows its own results 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.000 and links users directly to websites. This is all speculative though and an 00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:34.319 Apple search engine would definitely be an anomaly in Apple's business model. I 00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:40.080 find I got my own unless they sell access for 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:42.560 six bucks a month. Apple web plus it's a 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:48.720 more curated experience. Very very tight. It only goes to apple.com. It's 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.720 time for 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:55.360 QuickBits. Nintendo has already released cloud streaming versions of a few games 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.799 in Japan, but now they're bringing the technology to the rest of the world. The 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:02.799 Switch is getting cloud versions of Hitman 3 and Control, which makes sense 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:06.080 since that second title specifically can be pretty graphically intensive. 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:10.319 Hopefully, this means we get more Switch ports of fancy looking games, even if it 00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:15.519 means that it kind of negates the entire portable side of the Switch equation. 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 00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:25.360 reportedly been jailbroken by a nonprofit group called XRSi, meaning the 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:31.759 headset's mandatory Facebook login can be bypassed. Plus users rejoice. 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:34.320 Plus, a Mosilla developer and Oculus's 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:37.919 exiled founder, Palmer Lucky, had both put up $5,000 as a prize for 00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:41.199 jailbreaking the device. It's unclear how Facebook will respond, but we might 00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:45.759 see a Nintendo Switch situation where they patch the flaw and release new 00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:51.600 unjailbreakable devices. So, if you want in on the hackery, you better start your 00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:53.360 quest now. Listen, 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.960 games are having a hard week. That's right, games in general. Cyberpunk 2077 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:01.520 has been delayed again to December 10th. And please don't get mad at the 00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:06.880 developers. They're working like 18our days right now on the 31st. Okay. is uh 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.400 the director for Halo Infinite has stepped down from the project. Always a 00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:15.280 great sign. And Watchd Dogs Legion apparently has a bug that causes Xbox 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. 00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:26.080 Is that for real? Yes. Oh my god. But good news for PSVR owners. Sony is 00:05:23.919 --> 00:05:29.680 giving out free PS5 adapters for the headset so you can jump right into VR 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:34.479 when you get your new console. Take me on in squadrons. Just kidding. Don't. 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.880 I've only played one multiplayer match. Babies, you know, the kids been playing 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.800 a lot, just not me. And the website for the Trump campaign was briefly hacked 00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:46.560 last night. The perpetrators took the opportunity to display a badly 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:52.160 misspelled allegation that Trump was involved in the origin of the Corona 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.240 virus and asked people to vote by 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.840 sending the hackers money. Very confusing development overall, but the 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 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:04.000 have some more fun, come back on Friday for more tech news.
