and Mom dispensing the lid has popped off the first Zen 4
reviews as the AMD embargo lifted this morning along with our Spirits love you
AMD so far Impressions have been mostly
positive there's a clear generational performance leap over Zen 3 both in
terms of absolute performance and power efficiency but at the same time ryzen
7000 is not being hailed as a must go out and buy right now kind of chip
lineup unlike Ruffles collab with KFC
lose your mind these processes are still relatively expensive the performance
gains are more pronounced in multi-core applications rather than in games and
Intel's next generation of CPUs are just around get Bend meaning it may be good
to wait until AMD refreshes the zenforce series with 3D v-nand variants but
whether you're going out to drop your money on a new CPU right away or not
it's good to see team red and team blue continuing to put pressure on each other
because that's how they show love it's a
weird relationship but it makes diamonds no one can argue Amazon Prime delivery
is inconvenient but you may want to pay a little extra attention next time you
see one of their big bluish trucks on the road a recent investigation from The
Wall Street Journal of all places discover more than 75 people have been
killed due to accidents involving trucking companies that were
transporting products for Amazon this number might not be very telling on its
own traffic accidents are not exactly rare but what is telling is the fact
that the trucking companies Amazon chose to contract received unsafe driving
scores from the Department of Transportation more than twice as often
as similar trucking companies also the scenes of the crash had pee bottles
bouncing all over the road just joking I made that part up Amazon of course
disputed the report saying it suspends any contractors that fall below its
safety standards and that their fatality rate was below the industry average
whatever the truth is it sure would be nice to get deliveries from drones
weighing a few pounds rather than a 40 ton big rig at least until we get the 40
ton drones going and then they just like oh one day elephant delivery boom
and James Earl Jones perhaps best known
as the voice of Darth Vader and the second coolest James that you ever have
heard is retiring at 91 years young but thanks to AI content generation
technology his voice will live on far
into the future I mean we actually had that just from cassette tape technology
I have the original trilogy far into the future perhaps long enough for there to
finally be a retcon of the sequels get rid of them Ukrainian AI startup called
Reese speecher is using its own algorithm to recreate voices and speech
patterns and James Earl Jones himself signed off on Disney and Reese feature
working together to keep Darth Vader's iconic deep voice alive for future films
and video games and sex stuff
probably didn't sign off of that AI voice models have been used to
supplement actors performances before but this may be the first time an actor
has been permanently replaced by a dang
computer and not the last tech links next hopefully the AI version of Vader
will be realistic enough to make you forget that many of the truths we cling
to depend greatly on our own point of view

I don't get how to deliver this here's some good news a new leak
suggests Apple will be ditching that clumsy Pro Max branding for its next
generation of iPhones thank God so the highest end device will simply be called
the iPhone 15 Ultra but the even bigger news is that we finally might be getting
USBC Europe you can be pretty weird
sometimes but for this what do they say over there Mercy
Netflix is getting even more serious about games with the announcement that
they're forming their own first party gaming studio although the company has
bought game studios in the past this one will be started from scratch no recipe
you spit in a bowl and stir it around they're doing it live the new studio
will be based in Helsinki and led by the former GM of Zynga so get ready for more
Netflix games you can continue to safely ignore
they're finished see what I did there Helsinki
you probably already know that EVGA is exiting the graphics card Market but
what about its Kingpin Enthusiast brand huh well Kingpin is actually an
overclocker who has worked for the EVGA for many years and he hinted on social
media that he's potentially open to working with other aib partners so maybe
we'll see high-end Kingpin branded cards from Gigabyte MSI ASUS or Zotac in the
future right before they also drop NVIDIA but honestly if kingpins
associated with evj they'd probably just make a new brand I don't know I doubt it
sorry Kingpin ink King pink

referring to as gamer days you'll have
to answer questions to prove you're a true gamer who would ever do that to get
in but we'll give you one answer for free there is more than one final
fantasy what I know it does make sense
and we already have a packaging leak for the upcoming core I9 13900k Intel
usually does premium packaging for its top-end consumer chips and this is no
exception as it includes a collectible plastic silicon wafer though this time
the wafer is silver rather than gold still looks nice but I hope team blue
isn't suddenly trying to get us to lower our expectations
because I'm high maintenance
