take it back AMD had The Bravery to announce that their new FSR upscaling Tech would be exclusive to RX 9000 gpus and they also announced new versions of the world's best gaming processors the ryzen 9900 x3d and 9950 x3d which beat Intel's latest Flagship even worse than the 9800 x3d that x3d stuff is good so for the first time AMD is putting it in a laptop processor the fire range ryzen 99955 HX 3D please please can we simplify this branding if Dr Lisa Sue was here she'd say no because joining last year's ryzen AI 300 series laptop chips is another tier of CPUs above ryzen 9 that's right it's the ryzen AI Max and AI Max plus 300 series followed by more ryzen AI 9 7 and 5 300 series chips and then just to make things more confusing because at this point why not later this year after the 300 series launches we're going to get the ryzen 200 series mobile chips there's also the new ryzen Z2 extreme Z2 normal and Z2 go one of the steam deck team members had to correct people who thought a Z2 chip would power the nextg steam deck a wacky idea they had no reason to believe except for this AMD Slide featuring two ryzen Z1 powered handhelds and the theme deck AMD listen it's okay to ask for help with marketing there are people do this professionally heck just email me I'll help you just just stop Intel CES keynote was opened up by interim co-ceo Michelle Johnston Holt house which is too many syllables for me to say all the time where's Pat I need to know he's alive after digging through a maze of AI client Edge scalability type jargon I figured out that Intel was announcing more core Ultra 200 series laptop chips the 200 U series for thin and lights 200h for some more beef and 200 HX for extra beef hold the Mayo these all use the same AOL Lake architecture as the desktop core Ultra 200s series not The Lunar Lake architecture in the 200v series which had on package memory that kind of design has been killed off but not team blu's arc graphics cards we are very committed to the discret graphics Market says Michelle Johnston Hol house it takes too long to say all that please have a shorter name I don't know maybe something like our sponsor s the global eim Service that

Dell is chucking out its laptop and desktop brand swapping XPS Inspiron latitude and precision for the much simpler and apple flavored Dell Dell Pro and Dell Pro Max I can see the appeal Dell Executives were probably hoping teens with frosted tips would once again exclaim dude you're getting aele as they did in 2001 but that was before Adele's debut album in 2008 whoa uhoh also each form of Dell will be further divided into plus and premium variants which kind of messes up the whole Simplicity angle but hey at least some of them will come with swappable USBC ports so you can you can fidget fidget with those if you're bored Qualcomm announced a new entry in its Snapdragon X series of laptop CPUs and just like the last time they did this with the X+ the new chip called simply Snapdragon X is slotting in at the bottom of the list I mean the flagship X Elite went from extremely overhyped to extremely medium hyped so you might as well go with that flow for that reason I'm a little skeptical of qualcomm's benchmarks when they say the x is up to 1.6 times faster than an Intel Core 510u which I don't even know what that is so happy for you or I'm sorry that happened I the HDMI Forum has announced HDMI 2.2 which will double the bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 to support 96 gbits per second so you can play games on the PlayStation 6 at 8K and 240 hertz I'm sorry that's ridiculous 10K at 120 Herz but watch out because vesa is answering with an updated DisplayPort 2.1 spec that allows for 80 gbits per second transmission over cables three times the length they previously allowed which was 1 meter so make sure your video data has enough snacks for the road trip it's about to go on I'll see you on the other side of of of this small room the greatest trick Microsoft ever pulled was apparently convincing users they're using Google when they're using Bing instead as spotted by Windows latest when users search for Google through Bing they're now served with a very Google doodle looking graphic above a search bar on a page that has been scrolled down slightly to hide the Bing logo at the top what's the end game here Gaslight people until they discover they've been using Bing the whole time and maybe they'll be like hm I guess Bing's not so bad after all it's literally search engine Stockholm syndrome and new leaks have led Nintendo fans to become possessed of the idea that you might be able to use the switch to's joy-con as a mouse first off new images of the joy-con leaked on Buu with a serial number that is valid on Nintendo's check warranty page so those look legit and they appear to have a laser sensor on the connector side combined that with shipping data mentioning adhesive tape to be used as a mouse Soul which got people thinking about how you can do something similar with the Lenovo Legion go controllers but instead of the controller sitting upright you put the rail side down and use the trigger as a left click I hope this is true if only to strike fear into Xbox and PS5 owners in games that support crossplay once switch players join the lobby oh no the children are here and why don't you join me again tomorrow for more Tech news because I have to do something with all the extras it's piling up in here it's getting hard to breathe"}
