hey wow it's been a while since i was here on TechLinked was that guy always
there no i don't know where he came from he's a dragon doing a disco pose like
what i don't even know okay anyway to the tech news on monday
we reported on rumors about new processors and chipsets from AMD and now
the hype train has officially left the station specs for AMD's upcoming ryzen
3000 series lineup have apparently been leaked numerous sources put out
information but the most cohesive source was youtuber adore tv who detailed 10
new processors ranging from the six core 12 thread ryzen 3 300 with an msrp of
100 to the 16 core 32 thread ryzen 9 38
50x boy that's a lot of numbers which will sell for 4.99 the higher end models
boost up to and around 5 gigahertz that sounds spicy
how is that spicy spicy it's just 5 is a
cold temperature it doesn't matter what scale you're fat a 5 looks like an s
spicy anyways okay anyway the new processors
are reportedly built on the zen 2 architecture and if these rumors are
true and not just pure conjecture thrown to the internet to confuse and make
fools out of us all because that's never happened before we'll get an official look at these chips at ces 2019 down in
vegas in january right after valve announced they reduced their 30 sales
cup for very popular games on steam epic games arrived with a tantalizing
counteroffer the developer of fortnite and gears of war announced the epic game
store which will offer 88 percent of game sales revenue to developers keeping
only a 12 percent cut for themselves the closest developers could get to that
kind of revenue sharing on steam is by selling over 10 million copies of the
game which brings foul's cut down to 25 which is still like twice as much more
than twice as much so okay selling over 50 million copies brings it down to 20
the epic game store also weighs royalty fees for games built using the unreal
engine which should entice developers even further to consider selling on the
new marketplace maybe this will teach valve to care less about money and make
good games again like artifact which is
a car it's a card game it's a card game i've never heard of it riley just wrote
that joke in there but yeah apparently no no
okay raleigh says it's great so we'll just go with it okay it's horrible earlier this week we
talked about samsung's partnership with verizon on 5g phones and now those two
companies and qualcomm are ready to show off the goods a bunch of journalists
were invited to the qualcomm snapdragon technology summit in hawaii yesterday
for a luau just kidding but they were shown a number of devices purportedly
using 5g technology but speed tests weren't super impressive and interaction
with some devices was very limited so they might as well have been running on
happy thoughts i guess like peter pan yes like peter pan okay wow that has
been a long time but okay the devices on show include the phones from both
samsung and motorola as well as hot spots from at t and verizon samsung's
phone had a corner notch though so that's interesting i guess qualcomm also
used the summit to unveil the new snapdragon 855 chipset which will
support 5g and processing speeds faster than the snapdragon 845 which you can
trust me on because 855 is clearly a larger number is that also true in
canada like different measurement system in canada i don't know it's true i'm confused and
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by madrina's coffee and Linus tech
tips which is delicious in both the u.s canada or anywhere else that's right
we've worked with madrina's to make a specially crafted custom coffee called
the lambo roast yeah the LTT lambeau

coffee beans with a sweet chocolate flavor a big bold body

okay on to the quick bits microsoft has finally thrown in the towel on their
edge browser which has been living on the edge i guess and it's about effing
time they've decided to acknowledge the superiority of chrome and we'll be
building a new browser using google's open source chromium rendering engine
hopefully it'll use just as much if not more RAM that's how you know it's good
more RAM more better download more RAM just
download more it's fine in other google news the company is
launching flutter a ui toolkit and sdk that will allow open source
cross-platform development in less vague terms that means developers could build
one version of their app and have it run on say iOS and Android with minimal
tweaks there's also speculation that google is getting developers to adopt
flutter because it will allow compatibility with the company's fuchsia
os a mobile and desktop operating system in secret development
except that everyone knows about it kind of like how pro wrestling is fake
you didn't know that yeah no i didn't see that was good yeah okay
yeah like a batista bomb NVIDIA has used ai to create a fully functional 3d
representation of real world spaces using only video the company's neural
network identified objects and recreated them within unreal engine 4 the same
engine used by popular games pubg and fortnite what
yeah i have heard of those yeah okay it also textured the objects with
real world data so watch the video if you want to take a casual drive through
the uncanny valley speaking of driving google subsidiary waymo finally launched
their public-facing autonomous taxi service waymo 1 in phoenix arizona do we
