the consumer electronic show has officially begun in Las Vegas and we'll
be bringing you all the highlights from right here in our regular studio where
it's safe and clean and not a desert I hate sand the Wi-Fi Alliance announced
that they have officially confirmed the Wi-Fi 7 standard and they've already
started to certify devices to ensure they work together unlike me and Selena
that was never going to last the new stand will have twice the channel
bandwidth of Wi-Fi 5 6 and 6E making it
better for surprise surprise high bandwidth streaming the alliance listed
several use cases that will benefit from the improvements of the new standard
like hybrid work mixed reality and real thing they wrote that totally isn't
Boomer coded electronic gaming one of the biggest improvements introduced by
Wi-Fi 7 is multi-link Operation instead of connecting your device to just the
2.4 GHz band or just the 5 GHz or 6 GHz
band you can essentially connect to two or all three of them simultaneously the
connection will then default to whatever band is fastest this should also reduce
latency since having three bands available at the same time should reduce
the queue on each of them if that sounds exciting you don't have to wait for
Wi-Fi 7 devices Qualcomm for example has announced several designs that use the
standard and say their fastconnect 7800 module already found in their Snapdragon
8 Gen 2 and three chips are certified
technically Wi-Fi 7 routers came out months ago too they just aren't
certified unlike Selena that's actually how we met but I broke out and we're
happier for it AMD has officially announced the RX 7600 XT the first 16 GB
vram card under $500 this generation
that's important because 16 GB is the minimum memory requirement for
generative AI applications like stable diffusion and that means for just $329
the MSRP of the 7600 XD you can make an
artist cry or at least you can once the card Launches on the 24th of this month
speaking of cards we already knew existed but are now officially announced
NVIDIA was so excited to to unveil the new 40 series super cards at CES they
only talked about AI for like 20 minutes First Team Green confirmed the rumored
prices we discussed last week and revealed release dates the 4070 super
arrives January 17th for $600 followed by the 4070 TI super on the 24th for
$800 the 4080 super launches at the end
of the month for 1,000 bucks $200 less than the 4080 nons super NVIDIA took a
lot of pride in comparing the cards to the previous generation according to the
company when using dlss 3 the 480 super
is two times faster than a 3080 TI the
4070 TI super is 2.5 times faster than a
3070 TI and the 4070 super is faster
than a 3090 that sounds very cool NVIDIA
you know what sounds cooler though numbers I've heard several
mathematicians like them AMD also unveiled their new 8000g Apu lineup
during their CES keynote after they like NVIDIA got all the AI out of their
system the company claims to have included some pretty potent Graphics in
the chips the 8700g top chip in the lineup can
allegedly reach 60 FPS playing cyberpunk at 1080P and can also reach playable
frame rates in many other games at least that's according to the company's
gorgeous but information poor diagrams they're like the hmos of graphs AMD
seems to be firmly targeting budget inclined Gamers or anyone who wants to
play something while they're saving up for a discret GPU but AMD wouldn't know
much about discretion based on how much time they've dedicated to publicly
tearing Intel's meteor Lake apart when
they were done throwing Intel around they threw everyone for a loop by
announcing new ryzen 5000 series processors including the ryzen 7 5700
x3d these sound like three generation old chips thanks to team Red's dumb new
numbering scheme your numbers sound very cool AMD you know what sounds cooler
though meaningful numbers it's we're doing a thing not time for the quick
bits brought to you by SE Sonic they're back as our partner for CES this year
and what a wonderful partner they are in fact we might kiss them if it wasn't an
electrical Hazard it's no secret we've stood by seong's power supplies for a
long time and that's for a good reason their power supplies such as the ones in
their focus series for example are fully modular quiet and are all backed by
exceptional warranties if you want your current computer or your next build to
slurp up some reliable juice check out cic at the link below every year
thousands of quick bits are abandoned on our doorstep for just the price of a cup
of coffee you can make a difference please give generously here's five

what CS is really about unlike previous prototypes the company has shown the LG

bought a normal TV like a poor person who would use that Apple has begun
paying out a 500 million million dollar settlement to a class action lawsuit
claiming that the company intentionally throttled the performance of older iPhone models you remember in 2017 when
Apple admitted to slowing the batteries on older phone models which they stated

settlement back in 2020 but the company maintains there was no wrongdoing on
