ah i have this tech news i just i need
to get it out i need to give it away but i just james you can do tech links
AMD disappointed horizon fans last week when they said upcoming zen 3 processors
would not be compatible with existing x470 and b450 motherboards meaning
owners of ryzen systems wouldn't be able to upgrade to ryzen 4000 without buying
a new motherboard shucks AMD
well it looks like AMD heard the intense backlash to this announcement
seriously people were upset and the company has now pledged to bring zen 3
support to 400 series motherboards the original decision to not support older
mobiles revolved around the limited amount of space in the BIOS and while
AMD hasn't said exactly how they're gonna get around that they have said
it'll probably involve something like removing support for older ryzen cpus
phew that was close
it almost looked like AMD was becoming the very blue company they swore to
destroy you've lived too long speaking of a blue
company Intel that same one we were talking about
launched their 10th gen desktop processors today
once again built on the aging 14
nanometer process node
nanometer eight what you used to be but somehow Intel has managed to build a
lineup of chips led by the core i9
10900k that's how i'm saying it
thousand ninety zero wait that's one thousand ninety zero
shut up riley a lineup that still beats ryzen by a hair's breadth in single
threaded workloads like gaming and AMD's
chips still beat Intel's on average in heavily multi-threaded creative
workloads and i'm a creative so that's the team
but the performance comes at the cost of super high clocks at super high power
draws although as Linus and Anthony point out in the LTT review the power
story isn't as horrible as you might think the chips also give users the
ability to disable hyper threading on certain cores to even further boost
single threaded performance a feature brought over from the high-end desktop
lineup now as usual the world's fastest gaming processor comes with a bit of a
price premium but if you buy one of these chips you can brag to your friends
about how much you spent on it so
there's that i'm looking for this chip was a thousand dollars oh really
i can't eat now and microsoft held their build developer conference yesterday but
has become custom in the time of corona it was a fully streamed from home event
that no one cared about did you stream it
developers developers yes the company gave a peek at fluid framework
experiences in office which will allow you to easily move assets between office
apps and have them update in real time sort of like adobe creative cloud
microsoft also announced a super computer they're building with elon musk's open ai which will be one of the
top five most powerful super computers in the world
and will maybe give birth to elon's next child
with a commensurate name the company gave Linux developers some
more love with support for GPU acceleration and Linux gui applications
and throughout the entire presentation microsoft sprinkled little easter eggs
and choreographed skits uh which whatever microsoft being funny that's
weird you know i mean they've been funny before but not on purpose here's a clip
johnny developers developers developers developers developers now it's time for
the quick bits brought to you by the drop thx aaa 789 audio amplifier because
you're worth it baby it's made with thx's feed ford topology tech which
reduces distortion by 20 to 40 decibels get out of here decibels of static the
aaa 789 delivers clear audio sharpness and tight bass without the bloat and is
capable of driving audio to any pair of headphones with balanced xl4 quarter
inch and 3.5 millimeter outputs it also
comes with a one year warranty and you can check it out at the link below of
course it's the quick bits apple is reportedly pretty far along in
development of its augmented reality glasses that we've been hearing about
for at least 19 years if leaks from big leaker man john prosser are accurate
that is the leaks describe apple glass which is really that's so googly apple
glass come on there's no way they're going to call that eyeglasses duh
they're powered by a user's iphone apparently and they've got lidar sensors
but no camera which is kind of good because i don't want to stand out of
your journal and look at your pp and take a video and
i might be tempted and they're only going to cost 500 that's actually pretty
sweet considering the cost of a apple watch only time will tell whether jern
is right but if he's not i'm sure toilet squad will be there for him in other
leaky news sources close to google claim that the company's pixel 5 will feature
a mid-range qualcomm snapdragon 765 CPU
when it launches later this year rather than the flagship snapdragon 865
heck let's hope this means the pixel line is returning to its more
budget-friendly nexus roots let's hope that
you're not apple google don't try to be apple just focus on not being evil i
don't like whoever wrote this i want a flagship pixel i like my tech song bring back the
nexus 5. they have the a pixel a is for you riley
NVIDIA has announced the cloud xr sdk which allows developers to stream vr ar
and mixed reality content to basically any head mounted display with a focus on
enterprise applications which mean who cares and that sounds cool but can we
please get GeForce now off the ground first
you know with more than like five games also the latency you kidding me
facebook is looking to take on amazon's online shopping dominance with the new
facebook shops sellers will be able to create digital storefronts on the
platform from which users can either arrange to buy products in person like
ebay or facebook marketplace or purchase them directly through an online checkout
sounds like zuck was a little jealous of bezos being on track to become the first
trillionaire maybe it's the shaved head or a dynamic yeah and ai currently being
researched at new york's mount sinai hospital can diagnose cova 19 based on
imaging and clinical data from patients the research showed the ai model to be
as accurate and in some cases more accurate at detecting the disease than
an experienced radiologist sorry boyo this is obviously great news
for covet detection although i don't love the idea of robots
ogling pictures of my lungs i'd like them to
get to know me first maybe buy a drink for me to put into those lungs show me
your lungs liquid goes in the lungs right piss is stored in the balls this
episode is also too silly for my liking so we're gonna be stopping it right now
come back on friday for more tech news and zero silliness
maybe i'll show you a picture of my lungs
