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

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:11.040
it's usually something to do with tech so you kind of do know checkmate

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:15.759
Intel may finally stop torturing us and release their freaking arc gpus soon

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:19.520
and some new leaks might indicate what kind of performance we can expect a

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:25.119
recent Intel slide spotted on twitter indicates a top-end sku with 512

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:27.760
execution units and 16 gigabytes of vram

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:31.119
on a 512 Gigabyte per second bus so this is going to be something fairly high

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:37.120
performance probably akin to something like the 3070 ti from NVIDIA

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

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.040
are you going to make any money launching gpus for pores

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:51.680
going down the stack we see models with 384 and 256 execution units with 12 and

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:55.920
8 gigabytes of vram respectively AMD which would probably compete with the

00:00:53.120 --> 00:01:00.320
rtx 3060 and 3050. keep in mind that these are

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:02.399
laptop gpus we're talking about AMD

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.799
but there will also be desktop cards on the way deep breaths happy thoughts

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:13.600
is AMD in the room right now

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:18.000
i don't know major cryptocurrencies took an absolute beating over the weekend and

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:23.920
into today with bitcoin now hovering around 36 000 us dollars was at its

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.600
lowest point since july and ethereum was down to

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:32.000
hundred dollars about half of its value from back in early november

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:37.280
but what are you gonna do cry about it i thought apes together strong

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:41.119
you know it's not just one factor pushing crypto prices down either

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:45.439
investors are reportedly worried about the us federal reserve implementing

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:50.079
measures to reduce inflation they're worried about that

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:50.079
holy crap what

00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:56.000
they're also worried about a rather steep downturn in tech stocks

00:01:54.399 --> 00:02:00.079
and the russian government looking at banning crypto entirely which is a

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:05.119
significant development since russia is currently a

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:08.959
global leader in crypto mining and nostalgia for post-world war one

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:15.120
totalitarian regimes you know good old days

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.480
is the gigabit connection at your home or office just too

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:24.239
pedestrian for you if so

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

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:32.160
two and five gigabit fiber options

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

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

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.280
new services will be available in over 70 us metropolitan areas but

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:54.640
unsurprisingly the faster speeds will cost you home consumers will be shelling

00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:56.720
out 110 bucks a month for two gigs and

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:03.280
180 a month per five how what i'm spending so much more than that

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:07.519
right now for 7.50 no no but i'm not paying 150 for 750

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:13.280
right now so anyway that's cool thanks a t still

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:17.599
it could be worth it if you do content creation or other kinds of data heavy

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.000
work especially with so many people now working from home in the wake of the

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:24.480
pandemic is that expensive um probably i mean i

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:28.159
have no context because canada sucks and telus apparently sucks a lot more than i

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

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:37.599
was real personal now it's time for the quick bits brought

00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:39.519
to you by my special friends at seasonic

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:43.599
they worked really hard on the prime tx 1000 watt power supply okay have you

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:47.200
ever built one of those of course you haven't because you haven't been making

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:50.159
power supplies for more than 40 years do you even know how to certify a power

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:54.640
supply with an 80 plus titanium efficiency rating or to make it fully

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:59.040
modular with fluid dynamic bearings or to give it a 12 year warranty

00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:03.519
that's what i thought so get over to seasonic.com

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:08.799
click the links below because they already did that stuff

00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:15.360
and i love them quick bits at this time of day oh

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:17.840
reginald you are daring

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:21.359
rumors are swirling that apple is hiring xbox engineers away from microsoft as

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:25.360
part of its efforts to get its own console to market again

00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:30.240
which would be pretty surprising considering well i mean it's apple but

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:33.840
uh also not surprising given how annoying they've made it for microsoft

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:38.560
NVIDIA and google to launch their game streaming apps on iOS

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:42.000
honestly an apple console could do well by just marketing themselves as a

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:45.680
nintendo that actually cares about user experience

00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:50.240
yeah they got that online infrastructure kind of nailed down at apple uh not so

00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:54.240
much at nintendo even to this day what is voice chat you can just use your

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:58.800
phone for voice chat that's what i used to do

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:00.720
the rtx 3050 is coming out this week and

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

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:07.280
comparable to a gtx 1660 ti so

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:12.000
definitely not bad for an entry level card especially considering it can do

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.759
ray tracing and dlss and even better it

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:16.960
apparently sucks at mining cryptocurrency

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:21.919
not that anybody cares because the price is dropping haha i got them

00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:24.880
and if the fact that we're cheering about that hasn't changed your mind

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

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:34.639
talking up its new super computer built on NVIDIA's dgx platform it'll run over

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:39.759
16 000 gpus that's where they're all going

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.840
damn it mark it will run over 16 000

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

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:51.360
fastest one in the world when it launches later this year the ai research

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:55.759
supercluster or rsc they could have probably thrown an eye in there

00:05:53.919 --> 00:06:02.400
will be used to develop algorithms for systems across meta's digital kingdom

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:04.560
the mordor of the metaverse if you will

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:07.039
want a big name Android smartwatch but not a fan of the options out there

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.080
currently me too mark may 26th on your calendar as a new

00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:14.639
leak from john prosser indicates that that's when google pixel watch will be

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:22.240
dropping of course that date could get moved because one there are global supply

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:24.000
chain issues two it's google and three

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:27.680
watch leaks are notoriously unreliable for some reason

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:32.080
just get a seiko god you would think that they would know if

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

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:40.160
access so it's not working properly yet that's what it is

00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:44.639
it's in the metaverse and in a bit of news that should surprise absolutely no

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

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:52.080
run around with a gun and both hunt and defend yourself from wild pokemon

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:55.600
complete with blood the game wasn't made available to download but clips were

00:06:53.840 --> 00:07:00.560
posted on youtube and quickly taken down due to nintendo's

00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:05.280
dmca claims no word yet on whether we might be getting a sequel where he

00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:08.639
could fish for magikarp with dynamite oh that would be great no the dynamite

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:12.000
would explode and then just like they'd instantly evolve into gyarados

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:16.639
that's that would be actually pretty smart when hunting

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

00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:24.319
wednesday for more tech news i have no idea what we're going to talk

00:07:22.479 --> 00:07:29.240
about like i don't know fashion ltdstore.com lttstore.com
