00:00:00.389 --> 00:00:04.150
- Tech news makes me feel fuzzy inside. It's not normal.

00:00:04.150 --> 00:00:08.060
I need a doctor. - [Man] Help. - Help me. As part of its status center event today,

00:00:08.060 --> 00:00:11.259
AMD announced plans to launch a new EPYC processor

00:00:11.259 --> 00:00:16.188
with code name Bergamo. Packed with a 128 cores in total.

00:00:16.188 --> 00:00:20.897
Which is just selfish. Some people don't have any cores at all.

00:00:20.897 --> 00:00:24.188
- [Man] Come on. - But these chips won't be powering your gaming rig.

00:00:24.188 --> 00:00:27.230
They're geared more towards data center, cloud computing

00:00:27.230 --> 00:00:30.269
with special power efficiency and scaling features.

00:00:30.269 --> 00:00:34.055
True to the leaks, AMD is also going to be launching a Genoa.

00:00:34.055 --> 00:00:37.940
Genoa, Genoa, Genoa. I'm pretty sure it's Genoa, isn't it?

00:00:37.940 --> 00:00:44.110
- [Man] Genoa. - Genoa, CPU with 96 cores. Which is obviously nothing to sneeze at.

00:00:44.110 --> 00:00:47.132
Man, I've been sneezing all day, but I can't sneeze at that one.

00:00:47.132 --> 00:00:50.374
- [Man] You can't sneeze on demand. - That should be out next year.

00:00:50.374 --> 00:00:56.162
With the beefy 128 core model appearing around late 2022 or early 2023.

00:00:56.162 --> 00:01:01.595
Meanwhile, gamers are stuck scrounging for extra cores in the dirt like an animal.

00:01:01.595 --> 00:01:05.936
Heartless. - [Man] Help them. - Although we just got a couple of new chips from Apple

00:01:05.936 --> 00:01:09.276
for the new lineup of MacBook Pros, a new report indicates

00:01:09.276 --> 00:01:14.155
that Apple will be launching its own 3 nanometer chips sometime in 2023.

00:01:14.155 --> 00:01:18.326
How fitting. This is a big deal. Considering Apple's current leading edge chips

00:01:18.326 --> 00:01:23.273
are built on a five nanometer process. And this year is M1 Max and M1 Pro

00:01:23.273 --> 00:01:27.655
have already shown relatively impressive performance. Despite the fact that the CPU cores

00:01:27.655 --> 00:01:30.676
aren't very much different from the M1 they replaced.

00:01:30.676 --> 00:01:35.104
Using a smaller process means that Apple may pack as many as four dyes

00:01:35.104 --> 00:01:38.687
and a total of 40 cores onto just one chip.

00:01:40.446 --> 00:01:44.371
The size of an M1 chips. Oh yeah, that's gonna be rough.

00:01:44.371 --> 00:01:48.344
The iPhone is also expected to move on to the 3 nanometer process by 2023,

00:01:48.344 --> 00:01:53.925
leaving 2 nanometers for those gamers scrounging in the dirt to try and find something.

00:01:53.925 --> 00:01:57.257
Anything. - [Man] Who are gamers? - The gamers. - [Man] Help them.

00:01:57.257 --> 00:02:00.704
- Think of the gamers. Thanks Apple. Good luck guys. Good luck.

00:02:00.704 --> 00:02:04.626
- [Man] Tim help. - Tim Apple doesn't care about you. He never cared.

00:02:04.626 --> 00:02:08.783
And did you notice your new Pixel 6 isn't charging as quickly as you expected.

00:02:08.783 --> 00:02:12.564
you aren't alone. As testing performed by Android authority has shown

00:02:12.564 --> 00:02:16.784
that the Pixel 6 isn't using the full potential at Google's own 30 watt charger,

00:02:16.784 --> 00:02:20.685
which isn't even included in the box. And sells separately for 25 bucks.

00:02:20.685 --> 00:02:24.505
They make you buy a charger and then make it suck?

00:02:24.505 --> 00:02:29.915
To be clear, even topping out at 22 watts. The phone does indeed get from zero to 50% charge

00:02:29.915 --> 00:02:35.754
in about half an hour, consistent with Google's advertising. But after that power delivery drops precipitously.

00:02:35.754 --> 00:02:39.921
And it takes nearly two hours to go from 0 to 100.

00:02:40.765 --> 00:02:44.570
Google hasn't yet commented. Presumably because the only thing

00:02:44.570 --> 00:02:49.048
they could actually say would be, "Oh (beep) you found that?"

00:02:49.048 --> 00:02:52.333
(man giggles) - [Man] We thought we hid it.

00:02:52.333 --> 00:02:56.298
- The three whole watts. - [Man] You want another phone? - Now it's time for Quick Bits,

00:02:56.298 --> 00:03:00.345
brought to you by Vessi Footwear. Known for being lightweight, comfortable,

00:03:00.345 --> 00:03:04.878

You have made it to the Quick Bits.

00:03:32.189 --> 00:03:35.837
Congratulations, wanderer. - [Man] I'm so thirsty.

00:03:35.837 --> 00:03:40.303
- We might finally have some kind of answers as to why we didn't get that rumored SwitchPro this year

00:03:40.303 --> 00:03:44.315
and instead settled for a model with an OLED screen and not much else.

00:03:44.315 --> 00:03:47.423
It did have a kickstand. It's a better kickstand.

00:03:47.423 --> 00:03:52.131
- [Man] I love that kickstand. - Nintendo has said that the global chip shortage is slowing its hardware development.

00:03:52.131 --> 00:03:56.171
Like they need any global chip shortage to slow their hardware development.

00:03:56.171 --> 00:04:00.396
Nintendo. But has also confirmed it is working on new hardware.

00:04:00.396 --> 00:04:03.556
So don't worry. The company assures you the Switch 2 will come out

00:04:03.556 --> 00:04:06.056
sometime before the year 2100.

00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.526
- [Man] My kids will love that. - Yeah, maybe they'll... Yeah.

00:04:10.526 --> 00:04:14.223
Maybe they'll do the Hanafuda cards again, or maybe love hotels.

00:04:14.223 --> 00:04:17.440
That was the thing that Nintendo did. Did you know that?

00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:21.545
- [Man] We'll get into different businesses? - Yeah. If you're still running Windows 7, 8 or 8.1

00:04:21.545 --> 00:04:24.793
and use Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage service,

00:04:24.793 --> 00:04:30.796
be advised that OneDrive for those operating systems will stop syncing with the cloud in March of next year.

00:04:30.796 --> 00:04:35.059
You can still do this through a web browser, but you can also pull carrots out of the ground

00:04:35.059 --> 00:04:38.299
with your teeth. It's just nicer to cook them in a stew

00:04:38.299 --> 00:04:41.658
or something, you know. - [Man] Boil 'em, mash 'em. - Stop punishing yourselves.

00:04:41.658 --> 00:04:45.201
- [Man] Put them in a stew. - Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

00:04:45.201 --> 00:04:48.344
- [Man] Nasty taters. - A new study published in Nature Communications

00:04:48.344 --> 00:04:53.084
indicates that renewable energy sources might be more feasible for providing large scale power

00:04:53.084 --> 00:04:57.055
than previously thought. The paper indicates that 85%

00:04:57.055 --> 00:05:01.484
of the United States energy consumption could be handled by wind and solar only.

00:05:01.484 --> 00:05:04.872
Once the other 15% is made up of earth and water power

00:05:04.872 --> 00:05:08.223
legend says Captain Planet will appear. - [Man] And kill us all.

00:05:08.223 --> 00:05:11.874
- Well you forgot heart. - Is that actually-

00:05:11.874 --> 00:05:17.285
- Yeah, it's earth wind, water, fire, heart - [Man] I should have made an Avatar joke.

00:05:17.285 --> 00:05:20.509
Oops. - Walmart has officially begun using driverless trucks

00:05:20.509 --> 00:05:25.007
to deliver packages. The service is currently only available in Bentonville Arkansas,

00:05:25.007 --> 00:05:28.645
where a Walmart is headquartered. And runs between a fulfillment center

00:05:28.645 --> 00:05:32.125
in a Walmart branded grocery store. The move has sadly

00:05:32.125 --> 00:05:35.625
run all of the mom and pop driverless truck businesses out of town.

00:05:35.625 --> 00:05:39.483
- [Man] We've been doing this for 40 years. - That's just how Walmart rolls.

00:05:39.483 --> 00:05:42.545
- [Man] 100 years and now this.

00:05:42.545 --> 00:05:46.234
And from the in case you missed it file.

00:05:46.234 --> 00:05:51.304
McDonald's and IBM have announced a partnership to further McDonald's foray into AI powered order taking

00:05:51.304 --> 00:05:55.475
at drive-throughs. As if order taking at drive-throughs

00:05:55.475 --> 00:05:59.605
wasn't already arduous enough. The golden arches tested it earlier this year

00:05:59.605 --> 00:06:02.926
in a few locations in Chicago. And while it did make things faster,

00:06:02.926 --> 00:06:06.433
human employees did have to intervene a little too often.

00:06:06.433 --> 00:06:09.886
So McDonald's is hoping IBM can help cut down on the error rate

00:06:09.886 --> 00:06:14.806
as screaming into a drive-through speaker is already annoying enough without having to convince an AI,

00:06:14.806 --> 00:06:18.834
not to take your job too. - [Man] I can drive that better than you.

00:06:18.834 --> 00:06:24.396
- Hello, welcome to McDonald's. I see your job is driverless car driver.

00:06:24.396 --> 00:06:27.995
(man laughs) And now it's time for them to take my job as the video host,

00:06:27.995 --> 00:06:31.284
because the video is over. Come back on Wednesday for more tech news

00:06:31.284 --> 00:06:36.635
and seek medical attention for any abnormal feelings of fuzziness in your abdomen.

00:06:36.635 --> 00:06:38.474
- [Man] Out. - It's happening again.
