tech news is great but you can have too much of a good thing
and that's computex first off Intel they showed off their
much hyped core i7 8086k limited edition
CPU and it's basically an 8700k that can
boost to 5 gigahertz so it's cool but don't get your knickers in a twist over
it what you do have my permission to nick or twist over is Intel's 28 core
processor running at 5 gigahertz while that's certainly impressive a number of
astute observers at computex got a peek at the actual system Intel was using and
it appears to be a xeon platinum 8180 server processor with an unlocked
multiplier multiplier and it was running so hot
they needed a full on ac unit to cool the thing so maybe this was just a janky
way for them to demo 28 cores at 5 gigahertz but at the very least it's
kind of sketchy until if you were attempting to show up AMD it didn't
didn't quite work sorry indeed it was AMD that was doing the showing up as
they showed off a 32 core 2nd gen threadripper CPU built using 12
nanometer zenplus architecture but they didn't stop there they also unveiled the
world's first 7 nanometer GPU with 32 gigs of hbm memory which will launch
later this year as part of the Radeon instinct line aimed at professionals and
ai use cases later it will also come in a gaming focus package so don't worry
about that also there's a Radeon vega 56
nano which was rumored for a while leading up to computex but more importantly AMD is also using a seven
nanometer process in its zen 2 processors which are in Labs right now
the first chips will be server oriented epic models launching next year well if
we were going by pure newsworthy announcement it looks like AMD takes the
cake today but will that cake run once you bring it home and plug it in you
never know you never know with cakes don't know with AMD cakes some cakes run
in some cakes don't and i thought ASUS was done on monday but they just kept
rolling announcing the zenbook pro 15 with an Intel movidius visual processing
unit for ai stuff and the screen pad a
touchscreen trackpad which i'm sure will be useful in in some way no one asked
for this no we didn't
the zenbook s is a fancy looking yet durable notebook that raises the
keyboard up when it's opened the zen aio pro is an all-in-one with built-in qi
charging and the vivo watch bp is the first smart watch to measure blood
pressure which almost excuses it's looking like a badly poured pancake like
when you pour pancake mixture on the on the grill and it kind of looks doesn't
how can you pour bath it just it looks weird ASUS actually had one
more big thing he announced but first it's quick bits brought to you by our
t-shirts and stuff you can't get this t-shirt anymore so that's kind of
unfortunate it was a limited edition but if you're partial to our awesome logo
which i love click the link down below to get TechLinked shirts hoodies
stickers and a sense of belonging you never quite had with any other fast and
silly tech news show don't worry we got you alright quick
bits time dual screen notebooks are apparently the next big thing lenovo's
2nd gen yoga book and ASUS project precog both ditched the keyboard and
trackpad for another touch screen and Intel is also working on a smaller
handheld dual screen device codenamed tiger rapids a seuss offering will even
move the keyboard around depending on where your fingers are which i'm sure
will be super helpful and not irritating at all like me
you're great hey that was a dig at me qualcomm snapdragon
835 already powers some Windows two and ones but the new snapdragon 850 is
specifically intended for such devices with some specific enhancements tailored
for Windows 10. samsung will launch a snapdragon-powered Windows device later
this year whether or not anyone cares
yeah cooler master's inception project achieved its goal of building the
biggest water cooled pc ever and looks like it did so with the help of one
hundred thousand dollars dollars can be very helpful for these kind of things
rocket has debuted debuted come on rocket has debuted their own custom
switch the titan inside of their new super cool looking vulcan mechanical
keyboard titan switches are apparently tactile but quiet sort of like cherry mx
browns or play-doh but will it be as tasty as play-doh
can't decide between a mini tower or a full tower for your next pc build get
you a case that can do both with the rio toro morpheus which can transform
between the two size standards it can be just as fickle and indecisive as you
that's rude and microsoft has sunk a data center off the coast of scotland as
part of project natick an initiative to cut electricity costs by using the ocean
as cooling and not because they thought that's a normal thing to do with data
centers usually water is bad for computers you sound salty
guys that's it for this episode and actually you won't see me around for the next few weeks i'm actually going
i'm going to china to make food videos what yeah that's crazy the rest of the
team will be keeping tech link going until i get back in july so don't worry
