hey I know you've been quietly weeping because you have a job and a cat and you
weren't able to fly to Taiwan to get all your comex news but we got some for you
right here come on it's good AMD has
finally announced their ryzen 9000 series of CPUs will be dropping in July
as well as some other goodies during their opening keynote at computex in
Taiwan AMD claims the new Chips offer an
average performance gain of 12% over last generation while also being more
power efficient so far so AMD according
to team Red's numbers the flagship ryzen 9 950x apparently outperforms Intel's
current core I9 14900 K Flagship by an
average of 11% in gaming and 21% in
productivity tasks which I don't do I procrastinate the 9000 Series will fit
into AMD's am5 CPU socket and it seems
future chips will as well while AMD previously stated that they will support
am5 until at least 2025 they've now up that commitment to
at least 2027 but that doesn't mean that they forgot about U am4 users no AMD has
also announced they'll be launching two brand new ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs 3 and
a half years after originally launching the 5000 series and even if you're
looking to upgrade to am5 AMD's newly announced x870 and x870 motherboard
chipsets also support older ryzen 7000 and 8000 chips providing a little
upgrade path for you once am4 stops being being supported I mean it's 8
years old it's lived a full life but yeah just like kids and dogs in even
more CPU news amdts their Zen 5 powered
epic server processors but didn't get into too many details but mentioned it
would be compatible with their existing S5 socket that their current epic chips
use and that it will apparently decimate Intel xon processors destroy tenth of
them MD also also admitted to changing
its mobile CPU naming scheme again confirming the rumored Ryon AI 300
series name AMD claims they're starting at 300 because it's the third generation
of mobile chips to come with an npu but leaks and rumors point to them just
wanting a bigger number than Intel's core Ultra 200 series guys it's not the
size of your processor it's how you use it it's the motion of the ocean baby
it's the squeen of the frequency keep that in NVIDIA's rivalry
with AMD is causing the company to do some very Petty things for starters
while AMD was the opening keynote for computex NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wong
organized his own keynote speech which he gave the day before the event
actually started comex even added Jensen's presentation to the official
event calendar to really rub it in adding insult to injury was that NVIDIA
didn't really have anything to say at least not for your average gamer and
Tech Enthusiast Jensen teased Reuben the
company's next AI chip architecture before Blackwell has even shipped to
customers there was a lot of talk about what AI I could do some of it downright
frightening after initially debuting NVIDIA's Ace technology as a way to
create more interactive video game NPCs hang now imagines digital humans as
something that will revolutionize other Industries like making digital customer
service agents digital healthcare workers and other replacements for human
jobs hopefully not mine there was some news for consumers the company teased
RTX AIP PC laptops that will eventually enable co-pilot plus features thanks to
power efficiency systems on a chip what that means is these laptops use AMD
CPUs NVIDIA just didn't want to say that on their own site but they admitted as
much to The Verge NVIDIA also claimed that its gpus could technically run
co-pilot plus features themselves but it wouldn't be as efficient just take the
lell dude there are also some maybe positive AI developments from NVIDIA
their gassist chatbot can give you tips on the game you're playing or even
optimize your graphics setting for you still no word on an AI that can help me
find a new job after I get replaced by another AI at the very least I can help
you find a new charger thanks to our sponsor ug green witness the might of
their two-in-one magnetic foldable charging station with ch2 charging it
recharges your iPhone at 15 watts double
the speed of regular Chargers but that wasn't enough for ug green so they added
a secondary 5wt wireless charging pad so
you can power up your airpods or Galaxy buds at the same time mere mortal
weren't meant to wield such power the strong magnets keep your devices secure
and it's packed with safety features to protect your gear plus it's super

know Qualcomm also had a keynote at computex where they teased bringing
Snapdragon X to desktop CEO Cristiano
Aman said the company's s so's will
bring co-pilot plus to all PC form factors the news was so exciting that
Matt guy Justin Long came out of computer ad retirement to Riff on the
Mac commercials he started in 20 years ago long also spoofed his Mac ads for
Intel 3 years ago sure Qualcomm is arguably about to kill x86 the CPU
architecture that put Intel on the map but at least Intel can take solace
knowing they made a mediocre ad parody first ASUS has finally revealed full
spec for its rogg allyx Windows handheld
which supports more RAM more storage and a bigger battery than the original Ally
it also replace the weird Rog XG mobile
port with an additional USB 4 port and has an extra vent to help with thermals
and while those are all cool things what's less cool is ASUS still not
confirming the cause of the original allies SD card reader issue or how many
units were affected by it so you may want to remain cautious unless your
favorite handheld game is called ASUS support line 2 Phantom Liberty Sony will
be launching a psvr2 to PC adapter on
August 7th likely for around 60 bucks the psvr2 natively uses a single USBC
cable but the adapter will allow it to connect to PC via a DisplayPort display
port cable Not Included the adapter likewise includes USB and HDMI for
screen capturing and sharing there are a few caveats the headset won't have
adaptive triggers eye tracking or or HDR
on PC on the bright side this might actually help Sony move its giant
embarrassing mountain of unsold headsets currently Gathering dust in a warehouse
somewhere it's just like the cheese caves all over again son's new ace
headphones their first ever are due to launch in 2 days they're apparently
welld designed comfortable and sound great which they'd better that's like
Sonos is whole thing the headphones can switch seamlessly between two connected
Bluetooth devices but some audio files have been disappointed to learn that
they can't connect directly to Wi-Fi despite containing a Wi-Fi chip likely a
compromise to preserve battery life sadly that could have been the killer
feature to distinguish them from other premium headphones especially after the
baffling own goal that was neutering the Sonos app four weeks before a major
product launch and a Google employee was apparently behind several leaked
Nintendo announcements 404 media got their hands on internal Google database
full of privacy security incidents from between 2013 and 2018 one of those
incidents involved a Google contractor using admin privileges to download and
watch an unreleased privated Nintendo trailer on YouTube this contractor then
shared a screenshot with a friend who posted it on Reddit what a
friend in Google's investigation of the incident they determined the leak was
non-intentional these things happen you see an image of Yoshi your vision goes
black and you're no longer in control of
yourself we've all been there but you
should control yourself by coming back on Wednesday for more Tech news
