ah never gets old does it tech news
i love it that's not what riley wrote for the
intro he loves it that's the important thing NVIDIA has
unveiled the desktop gtx 1650 graphics
card alongside 16 series laptops initial
impressions of the 1650 seem to be
not super good maybe that's why we didn't get a review sample
while the budget card is much more power efficient than the competing rx 570 with
quite a few variants available without a 6 pin power connector most of the time
the 1650 lags behind the 570 by about 10
while being slightly more expensive and on top of that instead of the
turing-based nvinc encoder found in the rtx lineup and the gtx 1660 the 1650 has
the older volta-based encoder meaning it
performs about 15 worse in live streaming you know what i
think the positive takeaway is here though it was really nice of NVIDIA to just
throw AMD a bone on the low end wasn't it wow they're just they're such nice
people jensen with his leather jacket so nice
uh as we mentioned the company also managed to get 16 series graphics into
over 80 different gaming laptops from the likes of acer lenovo dell razer MSI
and ASUS so i guess maybe that's what happened like they cut down the power so much
because it was like more about the laptops yeah and that's a good plan it's
kind of like how i make all my meals into smoothies
it's less energy for chewing that's smart now today is actually a bit of a
double whammy for chip announcements because Intel also took the wraps off of
the rest of its 9th gen processor lineup
the company unveiled new h-series laptop processors as well as desktop celeron
pentium and core models 34 desktop cpus were announced all
together so there are now many more f variants with no integrated graphics
along with t variants with 35 watt tdps
at their base clocks as for the mobile parts they were led by the overclockable
core i9 9980hk with eight cores
16 threads a turbo frequency of 4.9
gigahertz and a 45 watt TDP it's apparently so impressive that it's
worth Intel starting a new category of mobile pc's muscle books
muscle books oh morty i mean get that productivity i guess it
sounds cooler than desktop replacement
that's like swole you know and to cap off the chip related news
tesla announced that they have finished development of their own self-driving
processor the full self-driving or fsd chip
consists of two duplicate systems on the same board each with a central processor
made of 12 ARM a72 modules a neural
network processor and a GPU altogether they claim the system is
capable of 144 trillion operations per second at a
TDP of just 100 watts the company also
claims that they are halfway done designing the chip's successor and that
by mid-2020 tesla drivers will not have to pay attention to the road at all
they also plan to launch a robo taxi service next year which tesla owners can
add their vehicles to gaining extra income by letting their autonomous
vehicle bury other people around while they're at work
well i gotta give it to him mr musk is nothing if not ambitious i wonder if
there's a way to make users of this robo taxi service wash their hands before
they get in my car a lot of people are yeah they're not clean not that i own a
tesla i'm too cheap for that speaking of cheap it's time for the cheap beats

link below on to the cheap beats now we've known for a while that google's
pixel 3a and 3axl
are on the way but new leaks have given us our clearest look yet at the new
devices and they look like pixels but with no notches and
bigger bezels also it's likely they will have headphone jacks which are missing
from the mainline pixel 3s they also will almost certainly launch on may 7th
at the google i o conference so uh let's hope that they're cheap just like our
beats or else what would be the point other than if you want a pixel with a
headphone jack that does seem like that's a point
speaking of points despite the cia's recent report that huawei is funded by
chinese intelligence the uk has given the company the go ahead to build out
british 5g infrastructure but because of
the significant security concerns that
the uk found with huawei's operations previously the rollout will be limited
to the edge and not integrated into the core of its 5g systems now you might ask
what's the point of that see i was going somewhere with that segway well if you
stood to save 6.8 billion pounds you might be willing to take the same risk
at t has reached a settlement in the lawsuit over its 5g e icons sprint sued
the company claiming that since 5ge isn't real 5g it hurts sprint's 5g
branding but now reports are saying that at t somehow convinced sprint to let it
keep using this fake 5g branding i just
what could they have given them to make them happier
must have been like it must have been big like a big bag of uh
good intentions we're kidding we're kidding we're
kidding it was probably money uh and NVIDIA might be working on a new shield
tablet and it might be a two-in-one device if code found in the company's
shield experience software is any indication the device is apparently
codenamed and it could operate as a laptop if you
attach a keyboard and that's great because the last great Android tablet
was yeah probably the previous shield tablet
so it's high time we got a refresh although i do have my misgivings about
Android as a as a notebook experience hey man give it a chance speaking of
androids researchers at mit have developed a synthetic material that
could potentially be used by androids as
like muscles and even strengthened by working
out so these are called polyvinyl alcohol
hydrogels and don't worry because robots will almost certainly be
using them to rip your head off soon enough wait i said don't worry maybe
we'll see them in the muscle books and that's it if i don't want my head to be
ripped off i better end this episode thanks for watching everybody it's going to be quite some time before the tech
news comes back around again but you've got to be patient yeah that
doesn't work because you didn't do my intro yeah i'm joking it's going to be friday yeah so you're
your ending joke was bad anyway just get out of here
