1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,080
tech news is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get but

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:11,040
it's usually something to do with tech so you kind of do know checkmate

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,759
Intel may finally stop torturing us and release their freaking arc gpus soon

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:19,520
and some new leaks might indicate what kind of performance we can expect a

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:25,119
recent Intel slide spotted on twitter indicates a top-end sku with 512

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:27,760
execution units and 16 gigabytes of vram

7
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:31,119
on a 512 Gigabyte per second bus so this is going to be something fairly high

8
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:37,120
performance probably akin to something like the 3070 ti from NVIDIA

9
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,559
i mean there's there's a 30 90 you know like Intel come on get it together how

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:45,040
are you going to make any money launching gpus for pores

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:51,680
going down the stack we see models with 384 and 256 execution units with 12 and

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,920
8 gigabytes of vram respectively AMD which would probably compete with the

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:00,320
rtx 3060 and 3050. keep in mind that these are

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,399
laptop gpus we're talking about AMD

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,799
but there will also be desktop cards on the way deep breaths happy thoughts

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,600
is AMD in the room right now

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:18,000
i don't know major cryptocurrencies took an absolute beating over the weekend and

18
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:23,920
into today with bitcoin now hovering around 36 000 us dollars was at its

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,600
lowest point since july and ethereum was down to

20
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:32,000
hundred dollars about half of its value from back in early november

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:37,280
but what are you gonna do cry about it i thought apes together strong

22
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,119
you know it's not just one factor pushing crypto prices down either

23
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,439
investors are reportedly worried about the us federal reserve implementing

24
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,079
measures to reduce inflation they're worried about that

25
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:50,079
holy crap what

26
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,000
they're also worried about a rather steep downturn in tech stocks

27
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:00,079
and the russian government looking at banning crypto entirely which is a

28
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:05,119
significant development since russia is currently a

29
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,959
global leader in crypto mining and nostalgia for post-world war one

30
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:15,120
totalitarian regimes you know good old days

31
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,480
is the gigabit connection at your home or office just too

32
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:24,239
pedestrian for you if so

33
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:27,599
at t has something to sell you as usual as the telecom giant is rolling out both

34
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,160
two and five gigabit fiber options

35
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:38,160
oh is this for the metaverse yeah i think it's for the metaverse i hate that word

36
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:45,120
stop calling it that it's second life 2.0 second second life the company says the

37
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,280
new services will be available in over 70 us metropolitan areas but

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:54,640
unsurprisingly the faster speeds will cost you home consumers will be shelling

39
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:56,720
out 110 bucks a month for two gigs and

40
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:03,280
180 a month per five how what i'm spending so much more than that

41
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:07,519
right now for 7.50 no no but i'm not paying 150 for 750

42
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:13,280
right now so anyway that's cool thanks a t still

43
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,599
it could be worth it if you do content creation or other kinds of data heavy

44
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,000
work especially with so many people now working from home in the wake of the

45
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,480
pandemic is that expensive um probably i mean i

46
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,159
have no context because canada sucks and telus apparently sucks a lot more than i

47
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,480
thought they did oh man ugh i didn't know this was gonna get personal yeah it

48
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:37,599
was real personal now it's time for the quick bits brought

49
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:39,519
to you by my special friends at seasonic

50
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:43,599
they worked really hard on the prime tx 1000 watt power supply okay have you

51
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,200
ever built one of those of course you haven't because you haven't been making

52
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:50,159
power supplies for more than 40 years do you even know how to certify a power

53
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:54,640
supply with an 80 plus titanium efficiency rating or to make it fully

54
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:59,040
modular with fluid dynamic bearings or to give it a 12 year warranty

55
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:03,519
that's what i thought so get over to seasonic.com

56
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,799
click the links below because they already did that stuff

57
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:15,360
and i love them quick bits at this time of day oh

58
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,840
reginald you are daring

59
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,359
rumors are swirling that apple is hiring xbox engineers away from microsoft as

60
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:25,360
part of its efforts to get its own console to market again

61
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:30,240
which would be pretty surprising considering well i mean it's apple but

62
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,840
uh also not surprising given how annoying they've made it for microsoft

63
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,560
NVIDIA and google to launch their game streaming apps on iOS

64
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,000
honestly an apple console could do well by just marketing themselves as a

65
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,680
nintendo that actually cares about user experience

66
00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:50,240
yeah they got that online infrastructure kind of nailed down at apple uh not so

67
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:54,240
much at nintendo even to this day what is voice chat you can just use your

68
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:58,800
phone for voice chat that's what i used to do

69
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,720
the rtx 3050 is coming out this week and

70
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,600
we now have a better idea as to what its performance will look like it'll be

71
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,280
comparable to a gtx 1660 ti so

72
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:12,000
definitely not bad for an entry level card especially considering it can do

73
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,759
ray tracing and dlss and even better it

74
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,960
apparently sucks at mining cryptocurrency

75
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,919
not that anybody cares because the price is dropping haha i got them

76
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,880
and if the fact that we're cheering about that hasn't changed your mind

77
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,800
about the whole crypto thing i don't know what to do for you meta book is

78
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:34,639
talking up its new super computer built on NVIDIA's dgx platform it'll run over

79
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:39,759
16 000 gpus that's where they're all going

80
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,840
damn it mark it will run over 16 000

81
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:46,000
gpus and is expected to be one of the fastest in the world no not one of the

82
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:51,360
fastest one in the world when it launches later this year the ai research

83
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:55,759
supercluster or rsc they could have probably thrown an eye in there

84
00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:02,400
will be used to develop algorithms for systems across meta's digital kingdom

85
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,560
the mordor of the metaverse if you will

86
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,039
want a big name Android smartwatch but not a fan of the options out there

87
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,080
currently me too mark may 26th on your calendar as a new

88
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,639
leak from john prosser indicates that that's when google pixel watch will be

89
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:22,240
dropping of course that date could get moved because one there are global supply

90
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,000
chain issues two it's google and three

91
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:27,680
watch leaks are notoriously unreliable for some reason

92
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:32,080
just get a seiko god you would think that they would know if

93
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,400
they got a watch right nick oh they're a watch or not the watch is in early

94
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:40,160
access so it's not working properly yet that's what it is

95
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,639
it's in the metaverse and in a bit of news that should surprise absolutely no

96
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,000
one nintendo wasn't a very big fan of a fan made first person shooter where you

97
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:52,080
run around with a gun and both hunt and defend yourself from wild pokemon

98
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:55,600
complete with blood the game wasn't made available to download but clips were

99
00:06:53,840 --> 00:07:00,560
posted on youtube and quickly taken down due to nintendo's

100
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:05,280
dmca claims no word yet on whether we might be getting a sequel where he

101
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:08,639
could fish for magikarp with dynamite oh that would be great no the dynamite

102
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,000
would explode and then just like they'd instantly evolve into gyarados

103
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,639
that's that would be actually pretty smart when hunting

104
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:20,479
for the heart yes and we're done fishing for news for today so come back on

105
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,319
wednesday for more tech news i have no idea what we're going to talk

106
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:29,240
about like i don't know fashion ltdstore.com lttstore.com
