1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,520
Okay, welcome to the WAN Show. It is a

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:13,280
beautiful Friday and I uh Well, it's hot. That's

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:19,119
true. It's like super hot. Like look, I'm flush. I have done very little today

4
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:23,359
and I am flush. That's cuz we're in like a warehouse. We don't really have

5
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:27,920
ventilation. The most exercise that I got today actually was closely related

6
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:33,120
to the most important news from today, which is that Malaysia's Lie Chong Way

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:39,040
finally made it past China's Lindan in the So cheering was your most exercise.

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,760
Yeah, that um Yep. So I was I was up

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:47,680
early this morning watching uh watching watching that match. Oh man, absolutely

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,800
epic. Absolutely epic. Lee Chongi finally passed Lindan. If you don't care

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:58,199
about badminton, you'll have no idea who either of those people are, but trust me, they're great. I've never watched

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,199
badminton. I know both of these people.

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,720
Okay, that's not fair. I have watched Babon when you have showed me like a

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,960
specific clip on your phone. Okay, well, I'll tell you what. I will show you. This is important because XYZ. I will

15
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,640
show you another specific clip because it's very important. Very, very

16
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:18,400
important. Lie Chongi's third match point. Okay. Yeah. Lindan makes probably

17
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:21,119
the most epic save that I have seen at

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:25,280
that level and it's it's incredible and uh then he goes on to win it. So it's

19
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:28,479
great my man Lee Chong way all the way through. Anyway, sorry I will I will

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:36,240
talk about technology now at some point. Do you want to do you want to go through topics? Okay, so basically we have AMD

21
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:39,759
Zen and then we have oh my god AMD stock

22
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:42,560
price in a good way this time which is

23
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:47,119
good. Um, there was the IDF or Intel Developer Forum and even more Intel

24
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:52,479
Developer Forum stuff. Basically, we're going to be talking about processing chips a lot. And we'll probably also

25
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:58,000
talk about NVIDIA's launch of their 10 series notebook graphics

26
00:01:55,399 --> 00:02:01,840
cards. There's no M for mobile, but there could be an N for notebook. Wasn't

27
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,840
that last

28
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:09,920
week? I think

29
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,480
it's Oh, no. That was this week. I just

30
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:16,270
saw it last week. Okay.

31
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:18,959
Oh, you're awful.

32
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:26,080
You got to rub it in their face like that. I didn't even Oh, this like Aren't

33
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:29,230
all these pre-released products that I'm always playing with just like old news

34
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,800
and

35
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,879
boring? Oh man. It's like, aren't you

36
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:41,120
just like a total piece of crap to our loyal viewers? all like Yeah. See, this

37
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:44,560
is your face. I got my head on the back of your neck and this is like the better

38
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:52,560
position that I'm in all the time and this is like Yeah. Yeah. You like that?

39
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,519
Oh man. Um All right. So, let's see. Wait, is did someone just tell me

40
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,599
there's no couch in the intro? Oh, well, there's no Oh, he means there's no couch

41
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:06,159
anymore. Wow. It took you just over a year to

42
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,400
Yes, there it has. It has definitely

43
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:12,560
been a long time since uh since that. All right, so why don't we jump right

44
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:19,360
into our first topic here? The original article is from PC perspective. So this

45
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:21,040
is a significantly more credible source

46
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,959
than last week. Did you post this in the chat already? That's fine cuz I'm done.

47
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:30,640
Oh, dang. Boom. You just got you just got schooled, son. Son.

48
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:35,040
Yeah, son. That's what rappers do, right? I mean, sometimes. Yeah, sure.

49
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,760
But like like this, right? I think you're like reversing the 8020 rule

50
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,920
here. Oh, I don't know. You're putting in 80% of the effort and getting 20% of

51
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:45,760
the results. Is that not how it works?

52
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:52,640
All right. Speaking of 80% of the effort and 20% of the results, AMD. All right.

53
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:54,319
So, no. Doing good things. Yes, they are

54
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:58,239
doing good things. And when they do good things, we will notice that they do good

55
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:03,200
things. And the good thing that they did this time is talking about actually

56
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:08,239
doing a demo. So, this comes right on the heels of the WCCF tech leaked

57
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:14,560
benchmarks from last week doing a demo where they showed off working Zen

58
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:19,840
silicon running a benchmark. I mean, we're talking a benchmark. We are not

59
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:26,320
talking many benchmarks across a you know variety of different use cases. um

60
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,919
up against a Broadwell Echip, an unnamed

61
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:33,199
Broadwell echip with eight cores and 16

62
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:35,960
threads running at 3 gigahertz. It is

63
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:43,120
speculated that this is a fixed clock 6TN00 K, though it wouldn't really

64
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:45,040
matter if it was a Xeon at 3 GHz because

65
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:50,840
they are the same thing. It's just easier to do it with a K chip because

66
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:53,440
you can control the clock speed. Hooray

67
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:57,040
processors. Uh, so they had identical speeds and claimed comparable

68
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:01,040
configurations. Now, they didn't talk about like what motherboards were being ran. They didn't talk about what GPUs

69
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:07,280
were being ran. They didn't talk about any of that kind of stuff. Just comparable configurations. 8 core 16

70
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:12,000
threads for Zen, 8 core, 16 threads for Broadwell E. Both running at 3 GHz.

71
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:16,160
That's all we know like boosts or turbo boosts or anything like that. Uh, it

72
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:21,440
looks like has been left out of the picture. And then they only ran Blender

73
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:26,880
and the Zen processor was faster than the Broadwell E chip in Blender by 1 to

74
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,880
two secondsish and there was no official score screen shown.

75
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,759
Okay. I'm assuming because there would be other information on the score screen that they don't want to show. Y so that

76
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:40,639
actually makes sense. So there's I mean there's a number of reasons for that. They wouldn't want to show the Intel

77
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:45,120
processor because then that constitutes like like a performance claim relative

78
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,800
to a real competitor. There's going to be all kinds of like legal is going to

79
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,520
want to look that up, down, and sideways. Make sure that they're not

80
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,919
saying anything that they can later be sued for by Intel. In case you've ever

81
00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:03,600
wondered why, you know, car companies will be like competitor F and competitor

82
00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:05,360
B. It's really interesting, not to go on

83
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:11,280
too much of a tangent, but like Hyundai right now is like attacking Honda super

84
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:16,240
hardcore and being like, "Our car has this. this very specific car from Honda

85
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,520
doesn't have this. And like it's weird because usually companies don't do that.

86
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,160
Usually they shy away from that. Now my understanding is say competitors. Yeah.

87
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:27,759
Competitors or or they would make it like like my my favorite is when they

88
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:31,360
have like competitors and they put like the first letter and like the last

89
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,680
letter and like asterisk the ones in between where it's obvious but it's kind

90
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:39,840
of like the way that we censor on Linus Tech Tips where we're not we're not

91
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:44,560
really trying to obscure the meaning. Yeah. We're just, you know, trying to

92
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:49,440
make it so that I don't get angry from parents of kids who watch the show be

93
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,000
like, "No, no, we we bleeped it. We just bleeped not even an entire letter."

94
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:57,039
Yeah, we did our due diligence. Okay.

95
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:02,479
Um like my understanding is it's actually pretty rare for that to turn

96
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:05,599
into an actual like defamatory statement

97
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:07,840
lawsuit. However, AMD is showing

98
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:14,639
unreleased hardware and even internally at AMD. Okay. Dr. Sue, who is different

99
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:22,479
from Dr. Seuss, by the way, uh, Lisa Sue, AMD Sue. Yeah. Uh, Dr. Sue probably

100
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,560
doesn't know exactly what configuration

101
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:31,039
Zen will ship in. So, let's say they discover at the last second that their

102
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,800
yields will not allow them to hit a TDP

103
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:38,080
that is competitive with Broadwelly at that clock speed. They have to lower the clock speed. Then if someone points back

104
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,440
and says, "Hey, you showed official score screens that have like model

105
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:47,360
numbers. You said you were faster. You're not faster in the shipping product." Now they got a problem. So I

106
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:52,520
can understand their hesitance to be too upfront about any of this. Um, now Zen

107
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:57,440
to jump back to the technology discussion being a hyperthreadingish

108
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:02,960
thing. It's obviously not called hyperthreading. Intel TM TM.

109
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:07,520
Yeah. Yeah. So, it's called simultaneous multi-threading,

110
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:12,879
which which is the generic that's the tissue paper to the Kleenex sort of

111
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:15,199
comparison. Yeah. SMT. SMT. It makes me

112
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:19,360
think a lot of SMP. Anyways, don't worry about it. Um, it it utilizes high

113
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,120
bandwidth and low latency caching systems and a 14 nanometer process from

114
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:29,120
Global Foundaries. And they're claiming it has a 40% increase in IPC over

115
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:34,000
excavator at equal energy per cycle consumption. Although

116
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:38,560
We were We were both going there, weren't we? Yeah. It's a little old now.

117
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:43,120
I mean, if Intel hadn't upgraded their processors in the last 5 years, they

118
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:48,080
could claim they have a 40% improvement in Skylake performance. Yeah. Over the

119
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:52,560
last thing that they they did because it's been so long. I would hope that

120
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:58,560
there would be a very significant increase in IPC over excavator. So, I'm

121
00:08:55,839 --> 00:09:04,720
happy that there is. Yeah, a lot of this is coming down to I don't personally

122
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:06,120
like AMD no pre-releas that's what our

123
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:12,320
viewers seem to pre-release stuff and rumor stuff and I

124
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:16,720
am very excited actually genuinely very excited to get this in office and like

125
00:09:13,839 --> 00:09:20,720
try it against things because if AMD if these things are true and especially on

126
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:24,880
the slightly lower end or if this thing is considerably cheaper and can actually

127
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:30,080
fight really well that is so good for markets in so many different ways. Wrap

128
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,640
your brain around this. What? Okay,

129
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:37,519
let's say you and I like got together. We We had a meeting, okay? And the

130
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:42,000
meeting was like, "Okay, let's figure out what our next build blog is going to

131
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:48,480
be." We're like, "Build guide. Okay, get this." We go, "Wow, AMD has a great

132
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:53,680
value gaming chip that's really efficient and like has all the latest

133
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:56,000
features. Let's do that."

134
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:58,800
It hasn't happened in so long. I know, right? The reason why we haven't

135
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:04,720
included AMD chips and things for so long is because where are they? There's it's

136
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:09,920
where are they? And it's the 8350s were like super cool like a while ago. It's

137
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:15,440
the sex appeal, too. like it's the fact that whether whether the whether the

138
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:18,519
vocal minority likes it or not, if our goal over here is to be kind of like the

139
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:25,920
top gear of PCs, then there's really there's really not

140
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,720
many opportunities for us to feature AMD

141
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:32,320
PCs. You'll see them on things like um value builds. So, we've done that in the

142
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:38,000
last couple of years featuring AMD processors. Uh you'll see them in things

143
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:40,640
like um let's see ah retro builds. So, I

144
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:45,120
rebuilt my first gaming machine and I used an AMD processor for that. But the

145
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,800
reality of it is is that if the idea is to be kind of like a Top Gear, you show

146
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:52,560
off the best of the best. You show the Halo stuff, you show the jaw-dropping

147
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:57,040
stuff that's like just straight cool factor, and you might show like a junker

148
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:01,920
from time to time, which is exactly what we would do on something like a Scrapyard Wars where we take like really

149
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,800
old hardware from AMD, NVIDIA, or Intel. We don't care. It's like it's old stuff

150
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:09,279
and we kind of have fun with it. And then there's really not much room for

151
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:12,120
that like that like yaris, you know.

152
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:16,959
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The the the economical, you know, hey, it's got the

153
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:20,959
better onboard graphics than the competitor. Um but, you know, this is a

154
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,440
this is a building that literally doesn't have a single machine in it that

155
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:28,880
isn't a laptop that has onboard graphics. Um so it so it doesn't give us

156
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:33,680
many opportunities. Even then, they're technically on board, but like they're

157
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:39,040
usually separate. But this this is exciting because we as much as the Yarus

158
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:42,399
doesn't excite me much. I could get pretty amped up about something like oh

159
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:48,079
I'm gonna try and come up with something comparable and I'm not a car person so that makes it really tough. I I can get

160
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:53,279
excited about a Prius. Okay, where we can go okay it's not like the cheapest

161
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:58,240
possible thing to get you down the road but it's like fuel econ economical and

162
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:03,760
it's got like some cool features and it's a good value. Yeah, I can get

163
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,279
excited about that. So, I'm I am I am

164
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:11,279
looking forward. I just like it even from raw a competition standpoint.

165
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:15,839
Having good competition is a very good thing. And like Intel,

166
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:20,800
I love you guys, but you're getting a little lazy. I wouldn't call it lazy. I

167
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:26,160
would call it defocused. Yeah. Okay. Defocused on the desktop market. Yeah.

168
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:29,279
Uh and I understand why. Not a lot of inspiration. There's basically nothing

169
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:33,600
in it for them to keep innovating. What are they going to do? Go from 80

170
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:37,120
whatever high percent market share or whatever it is that they're at right

171
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:40,560
now. It's something ludicrous to are they going to get another 1%. Yeah. Like

172
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:45,839
if they double their R&D, what are they going to get for it? Nothing. Whereas if

173
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:47,440
AMD comes back, claws away some market

174
00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:54,560
share, and makes Intel fight for it to the point where it's like, okay, we're increasing our R&D spending by 60%. We

175
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,399
need to improve the clock speed or IPC

176
00:12:54,560 --> 00:13:02,240
of the next generation or two generations away core processor by 30%

177
00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:06,800
in order to smack down this upstart. Like that's where innovation comes from

178
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:12,880
because you have to understand that no one here is like is like just doing

179
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:17,920
things out of love. Money turns the wheel. Any publicly traded company

180
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:25,680
ultimately answers to its shareholders. And so if Intel doesn't have a single

181
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:27,279
good reason on paper to really change

182
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:32,160
much of anything other than making sure that they're leading the technology charge, which improves their uh which

183
00:13:30,639 --> 00:13:35,040
improves their margin, which improves their sales, like like they'll they'll

184
00:13:33,839 --> 00:13:41,519
keep refreshing the products. They'll keep improving, but they don't have a reason to like heavily invest and

185
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:47,440
completely reinvent the wheel unless AMD gives them one. Yeah. So good

186
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,920
competition is this looks hopeful. Yeah.

187
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:56,560
And as much as we tease them, honestly, it's easier for me to tease them now in

188
00:13:53,839 --> 00:14:00,160
a situation where it really looks like it we the light is visible at the end of

189
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:05,680
the tunnel. Totally. And it's not an oncoming train. Yeah. With that said,

190
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:06,880
they've hurt me many times before and uh

191
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:10,480
I don't With that said, at the same time, they've also done great things.

192
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:15,680
They have. It's just been a long time. Yeah. So, one of my easily favorite

193
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,839
computers that I've ever owned was a

194
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:24,160
Athon X2. Like, have I made the battered wife analogy on Wow before where it's

195
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:27,440
like AMD and I had the good times

196
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,959
but then there's just they just kept

197
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,480
they just kept beating me up. They they promised to bring you to uh Disneyland

198
00:14:31,199 --> 00:14:36,800
and then they didn't. And then they didn't. They promised me that Disneyland

199
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,240
would be full of, you know, Phenom 2 overclocking and it wasn't. They They

200
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,720
told you that the coolest thing ever was coming and that it was a rebranded SSD.

201
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:48,160
That's right. There's been some disappointing times.

202
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,600
This will hopefully not be one of them. Did we even make a video about that

203
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:55,920
thing? I don't think so. Who was the actual Hold on. Who was the actual maker

204
00:14:53,839 --> 00:15:03,600
of of the AMD SD? I feel like it was Patriot or something. Patriot or OCZ or

205
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:07,600
something? Uh AMD SSD. Wow. For a long

206
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:09,199
time. Yeah. Hold on. Uh oh man. I I

207
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,399
really wish I could remember what it was. I'm just going to Google it instead

208
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:17,680
of checking. Someone in the chat is gonna tell us. Yeah, someone will tell

209
00:15:13,839 --> 00:15:19,199
us. OCZ. Okay. Yeah. Where without like

210
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:25,440
It's really funny when companies do this. It's like this seems like a very first world problem, I'm sure. But from

211
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:30,240
time to time, we'll have companies that instead of reaching out to us asking if

212
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:34,560
we want to do a review, they'll just kind of put it in the mail and when it

213
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:39,839
they'll time it so that like basically the moment that it's arriving, they'll

214
00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:42,160
like call and we'll be like, "Hi."

215
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:47,360
They'll be like, "Yeah, so you've got the latest and greatest freaking

216
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:51,040
unbelievable thing." We'll be like, "What? This?" And they're like, "Yeah,

217
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:55,839
so for your review, are you going to do this?" that I'm like, I'm not reviewing

218
00:15:53,040 --> 00:16:00,480
this. This is this is the least exciting SSD on the face of the earth out of all

219
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,360
the unexciting SSDs that have ever existed. This is probably the least

220
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,279
exciting one. All you've done is put a sticker. You're AMD for crying out loud.

221
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:11,360
You can't just put a sticker on things. You are a you design hardware. Don't

222
00:16:09,839 --> 00:16:15,600
don't put a sticker on something you didn't design. Especially an SSD. They

223
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,880
didn't even rewrite the firmware. What? Like, it just the whole thing made

224
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:23,040
absolutely no sense. I don't know if these do these still exist. Let's have a

225
00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:27,360
look. Maybe they do. Hold on. Let's Let's find out in real time. Look at that. They still do. And people buy

226
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,959
them, which is which is great. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. That is

227
00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:36,240
really cheap. Wow. Then again, SSDs are just like

228
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:39,279
cheap now. So, that's But um but the point was not that it was a bad product.

229
00:16:37,839 --> 00:16:44,000
It was just the world's least interesting product. And they and they

230
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:47,600
resorted to pulling tricks like like us already having it and just being like,

231
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:50,959
"Well, now you've already got it." hype train too. Yeah, it was it was a real

232
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:56,639
hype train. That in the RAM, too. I think the RAM was preLMG. Um, so I was

233
00:16:53,680 --> 00:17:02,959
actually at NCIX when we got briefed on like AMD's exciting, bold strategy for

234
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,679
rebranding Patriot. These two I remember getting these at the old studio. Here,

235
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:10,319
hold on. I'll I'll share your screen. Okay. Were these Patriot? Yeah. Okay.

236
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:15,839
So, that's where I got that confusion. Yeah. Yeah. Built by partner XYZ. Built

237
00:17:13,919 --> 00:17:19,919
by partner XYZ. So, in the case of the ones that I had anyway, it was uh it was

238
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,760
Patriot Memory. I thought we might have even still had some of these lying around, but I went looking for them the

239
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,919
other day and I couldn't find them. Oh, interesting. Anyway, so they were solid.

240
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:31,520
We actually used them in like a fair amount of stuff. So, I'm approaching

241
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,799
this tentatively, and I've said this before, but I feel like I'm going to be

242
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:38,919
saying it on W show every week until Zen launches, so get used to it. I'm

243
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:42,960
approaching it tentatively, but I feel like he might really take me to

244
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:47,039
Disneyland this time. Maybe. It does kind of feel like it, right? does kind

245
00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:51,200
of feel and it really feels it's really different this time. He's going to take

246
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:57,320
me to Disneyland. Oh, it's like what's that mark on your ARM? This is our last

247
00:17:53,919 --> 00:17:57,320
trip to Disneyland.

248
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:05,360
Oh, I really hope it's true. And like the thing is this time instead of it

249
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:09,120
being like mystery exciting product, it's like they're telling us what it

250
00:18:07,919 --> 00:18:15,360
They have some confidence and they're like telling us stuff about it instead of just being like, "It's great.

251
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:21,679
Hooray." Chris 771 on Twitch chat says, "AMD soon to rebrand NVIDIA GPUs." Oh

252
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:25,160
no, that was rude. Oh, that's not nice. Hey, their graphics cards are doing

253
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:31,520
really good right now. 1 v1 Russ says, "Decide, is it Zed or is it

254
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,840
Z?" It's both because we're Canadian,

255
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:37,360
which means that we have no culture. Yep. We just borrow from the South and

256
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:42,559
we borrow from the Brits and we don't know who we borrowed what from.

257
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,760
It's kind of true. Sorry. It is what it is. I don't make the rules, my friends.

258
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:51,039
My favorite thing was playing WoW because there was a raid in an instance

259
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,280
and I called one of them ZG and I called

260
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:57,440
the other one ZF and like but that made sense to me

261
00:18:55,360 --> 00:19:01,360
and that's that was their names and that's how it went. We just go with

262
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:07,280
whatever sounds like like better, whatever sounds smoother. Yeah. Yeah.

263
00:19:03,679 --> 00:19:09,679
So, it's OCZ for me and it's WX, Y, and

264
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:15,280
Z because it rhymes because now I know my ABCs. Fun fact, it's the same tune as

265
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:18,760
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Oh, it is. And there's something else,

266
00:19:17,679 --> 00:19:23,039
too. Um, can't remember what it is. Row, Row,

267
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,640
Row Your Boat. No, no, not not that one. Uh, ABC, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

268
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:29,280
And there's like one other one other like like

269
00:19:30,919 --> 00:19:38,640
super Yeah, I can't remember, but it's actually not terribly

270
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,320
important. Anyways, it sounds like other

271
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:48,000
people have confident that confidence that we're actually going to Disneyland this time, too, because AMD's stock has

272
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:52,400
just absolutely skyrocketed. So, I think

273
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:55,919
in the last day it's gone up 11% and

274
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:58,120
this year it's gone up 330%.

275
00:19:55,919 --> 00:20:03,200
Boom. Which is insane. That is so much. I remember when

276
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:07,600
AMD was trading at like a buck or two. Yeah. I was actually even thinking about

277
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:13,440
at the time I was like realistically it couldn't go any lower. Maybe I should

278
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:15,200
just buy a bunch. But I mean OCZ became

279
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:19,000
a penny stock before they went under. So, I was like, I don't know. Yeah.

280
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:23,840
Yeah. Although OC whatever. Um, OCL is probably a

281
00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:27,679
little bit more of a volatile position than AMD is. Yeah. Yeah, that's true.

282
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:32,960
And I knew enough about the inner workings of OCZ to know that like that

283
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:38,480
was well enough deserved at the time that that happened.

284
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:43,840
Yeah. So, like that's also really cool because they need that really

285
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:47,600
badly. They can't just have a really good product launch. They also need

286
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:51,440
investor confidence and the fact that the investor confidence is coming before

287
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:55,440
the really good product launch. Okay. Of Zen. I guess our graphics cards are

288
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,799
doing super well as well. Yeah. They just don't really have that many of them

289
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:02,799
right now and the ASPs are kind of low. And um sorry, I'll let you finish, but I

290
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,960
have another comment on the graphics cards that

291
00:21:05,679 --> 00:21:13,200
you think you just butt into people's conversations because you're old now. It's not a conversation. You're sitting

292
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:15,760
there talking out into the dark. No, cuz

293
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:19,880
there's Twitch chat. They didn't ask you about this. That's not a conversation.

294
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:24,720
Just saying things. That's it's not conversation. By that logic, I am an

295
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:28,960
excellent conversationalist. So, wait, you can't have a conversation unless

296
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:31,840
someone asks you about a topic. Well, there has to be a back and forth. That's

297
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:35,280
a conversation. But they can they can respond. Yeah, but they won't. Yes, we

298
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:41,600
did. Someone just said, "Yes, we did." "Yes, we did." You know what? You know what Nick says? "How does this show have

299
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:46,240
sponsors?" says Nick Light. I don't know. It's his job to get them.

300
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:51,200
I don't know how he does it. Um, see, look, the the the shocker says,

301
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:57,280
"Luke, I asked you. Don't worry." See, he's got my back. All right. So, I want

302
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:59,520
to move on to AMD's success uh with GPUs

303
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:03,600
and into something that could have a significant impact on that reason

304
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:08,640
success. So, you had you've tested the RX 480, you've tested the RX 470.

305
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:12,080
Thoughts so far? We're giving it the thumbs up. Definitely. Definite thumbs

306
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:16,640
up. Great. The the price differential between those two cards is a little

307
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:19,039
weird. It does seem like a very crowded

308
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:23,440
product stack, doesn't it? Yeah. But especially when you have partners that

309
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:27,520
are trying to attack like it's the usual thing, right, where EVGA is the worst

310
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:31,960
defender here. They've had I've seen them have up to like nine superc clocked

311
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:36,640
for the win. K super super clock. Super super clock

312
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:43,679
plus. It is freaking super clock ACX 2. It is

313
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:48,320
freaking endless with those guys. Yeah. And when you have separate GPUs like

314
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:54,080
architecturally different well not architecturally, okay, but like um

315
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:56,240
actual like chip design different GPUs

316
00:22:54,080 --> 00:23:00,320
are the same 30 or 40 bucks of each other. There's not a lot of room for

317
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:05,360
Sapphire to go like, "Yeah, it's the Nitro Plus RX 460 and it costs like as

318
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:09,120
much as an RX 480 because then it's like, okay, well, I'm just going to buy

319
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:14,720
the better one." Yes. So, like there's Yeah. Um any anyway, so other than that,

320
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:20,320
looking pretty good. Looking pretty keen, you know, but NVIDIA went and

321
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,120
dropped a bomb this week. If you want to actually post this one in the chat, I

322
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:28,919
kind of skipped ahead to it. Yeah, I don't know where NVIDIA releases GeForce

323
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:32,720
GTX 1060 3

324
00:23:28,919 --> 00:23:36,480
gig in a move that I personally find a

325
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:39,200
little bit um misleading and confusing

326
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:46,080
because the GTX 1060 while it is based on the same GPU or excuse me the GTX

327
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:51,520
1060 3 gig Yeah, while it is based on the same GPU as the GTX 1060 you might

328
00:23:49,280 --> 00:24:00,480
want to drop that in chat which has six gigs of RAM but is called the GTX 1060.

329
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:02,159
Yeah. Not the GTX 1066 gig. Yeah.

330
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:07,039
Wait, I see now I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore. It's not quite the same. It's not as fast.

331
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:11,840
They've done more slightly slower. They yes they've done more than just take

332
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:20,000
away some of the memory like we saw before with the 8800 GTS 320 and 8800

333
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:22,760
GTS 640meg which were actually identical

334
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:28,640
cards other than the difference in frame buffer. The reason presumably, this is

335
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:34,120
just my guess, that they've done this is because otherwise there would be pretty

336
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:38,320
much no reason for people to buy a GTX

337
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:40,559
1060 brackets 6 GB. U then the reason

338
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:45,600
for that being that the GTX 1060 is really not targeting 4K gaming or like

339
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:51,679
ultrawide 1440p gaming or anything like that. And if you're gaming at 1080p or

340
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:54,080
slightly above, 3 gigs of RAM is going

341
00:24:51,679 --> 00:24:58,960
to pretty much do you until it's time to upgrade to your next GPU. Something that

342
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:03,919
people who buy that bang for the buck 199 graphics card typically do. Which I

343
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:09,919
guess leads us pretty well into what makes the GTX 1063 gig somewhat scary

344
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,600
for AMD. It comes in at an MSRP of

345
00:25:09,919 --> 00:25:15,440
$1.99. Yeah. So, it does have a VRAM

346
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:19,520
disadvantage, but it is based on the same architecture as a 1060. Now,

347
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:22,640
NVIDIA's not seing us a review sample. Um, but I don't know. Have we reached

348
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:28,559
out to anyone about getting one yet? Do we have a look at this? We have not.

349
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:30,159
I've been there's Okay, but at lower

350
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:35,440
before we go on for a little bit, what the hell GPU launches?

351
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:39,520
Yeah, I know. Stop. I mean, we've had viewers complain. We've had

352
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:43,760
conversations like like we sat down for like a monthly review meeting and we're

353
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:50,080
going like there are too many GPU videos and it's like well and like I get it but

354
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:55,039
then there's this and I need to do like VRAM testing to show that this thing's

355
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:58,480
okay and then there's a 460 that we like I think we have one and it's like oh my

356
00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:03,200
god I have to make a review of that because then people are going to be like uh your name you're an NVIDIA fanboy cuz

357
00:26:01,679 --> 00:26:08,720
you didn't make a 460 review and if you do it 3 months from now no one will care. No, but then like there's too many

358
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:13,279
videos. Oh, and then there's the X12 and Falcon

359
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,640
and I need to make that make sense, but those are confusing.

360
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:22,799
Actually, that's a pretty exciting video that should be coming pretty soon. We've been we actually had an entire hourlong

361
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:27,360
meeting on how to make an analogy to make the new PI new APIs kind of make

362
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:34,400
sense. And we never got there, but Luke says he has a new solution. So, yeah.

363
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:36,559
Yeah. Stay tuned. Anyway, if the 1060 in

364
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:39,600
spite of its slightly fewer functional units, so I'm going to go ahead and pull

365
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:43,679
up the anch article here. Again, thanks thanks Mr. Ryan Smith for compiling this

366
00:26:41,679 --> 00:26:46,880
wonderful chart that I am outright taking from you so that I can show it to

367
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:52,159
my viewers, but it's okay. You can get more information from Mr. Smith's article, so you should go over there. I

368
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:57,279
did link it in the chat. H. So, aside from having fewer CUDA cores, fewer

369
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,919
texture units, um, it is clocked the

370
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:05,600
same, it has the same memory buds, bus width, uh, it has the same like I'm

371
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:10,640
interested in testing this. So, if this thing overclocks,

372
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:12,640
yeah, like a GTX 1066 gig, the 10%

373
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:20,720
performance advantage that NVIDIA quoted to us over RX 480 could stretch out

374
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,960
significantly. Dun. At the same time,

375
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:28,159
there's a pretty big flop difference. Yep. And like the more than 10% eight

376
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:31,919
fewer texture units is actually pretty large. And like the amount of CUDA core

377
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:36,559
difference is actually fairly substantial. So like it's going to be an

378
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:40,559
interesting test. I don't know. I really wish they had called it something else.

379
00:27:38,159 --> 00:27:46,880
This is very frustrating for me. It and it really or that should have been the

380
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:48,960
1060 and then the 10 like okay.

381
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:53,520
Yeah. The 1066 gig should have been a 1060 Ti. So, what I was just going to

382
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:58,279
say was this smacks of one of two things. Intentional deception or

383
00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:03,520
complete disorganization. And you know how you

384
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,360
and I were discussing our theory or your

385
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:10,919
theory. I won't take credit for your theory. your theory that the event in

386
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:14,799
London, the NVIDIA event in London was

387
00:28:10,919 --> 00:28:18,640
intended to launch the uh 10 series

388
00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:20,640
notebook uh GPUs as well as Titan X and

389
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:24,799
possibly this, but that they just jumped the gun. That was kind of the theory

390
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:28,960
that you had thrown at me because, okay, think about it. That that talk at

391
00:28:26,679 --> 00:28:33,200
Stanford, like look at pictures of that room. That's a pretty random talk. Like

392
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:37,120
the people in there are important and the fact that that conversation happened

393
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:43,360
is good and important, but why launch a GPU there? It's really weird. And like I

394
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:49,120
got the email that Titan X launched like while I was driving to go get food and

395
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,120
the subject line was like

396
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:58,720
surprise. What? Where did this come from? So I have confirmation from NVIDIA

397
00:28:55,279 --> 00:29:00,000
that is not the case. Okay. Uh the email

398
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:04,000
it was a one word email. Doesn't make it less weird. One word email. No,

399
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:08,679
actually, no. I think there was another line. It was like, no, that was never

400
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:12,880
the plan or something. Okay. It's like, okay, but but I still I still don't

401
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:17,600
really understand it. It still just feels kind of disjointed and dis

402
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:21,520
disorganized because I don't like I don't understand. And why are you

403
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:26,799
launching this now? You have everyone talking about the hype of all the the

404
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:33,279
mobile but without M awesome new GPUs and laptops thing that just happened.

405
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:37,520
And And I don't think NVIDIA is is

406
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:40,399
illinformed enough to be reacting to RX

407
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:47,679
480 with this. Like I think this this because it's actually okay. If this was

408
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:49,840
just a GTX 1060 card with less RAM on it

409
00:29:47,679 --> 00:29:54,000
and a tweaked firmware to address less RAM, then I might go, "Oh, this is a

410
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:59,039
reaction move." But this is a different bin. This is a different bin of the GPU.

411
00:29:56,559 --> 00:30:02,559
Yeah. So this was this was planned months ago. So if they're Well, we've

412
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:07,120
known because there's been rumors of a six gig for a while now versus a three

413
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:12,480
gig, you mean? Yeah, sorry. No, there's been rumors of a three gig. Sorry. Yeah.

414
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:16,080
Like it's this isn't a new concept. It's been floating around the internet for a

415
00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:22,080
for a bit. So, it's just it's very frustrating um that that this is

416
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:27,440
confusing and I I feel like I'm turning into a broken record. But the it feels

417
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:32,720
like the more I criticize companies, whether it's uh Razer or whether it's um

418
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:38,000
actually I take a shot at HP in my upcoming Spectre video. Yeah. because

419
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:47,279
they actually have a product called the HP um ah shoot what was the HP Envy

420
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:47,279
Spectre from 2012 and I'm

421
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:55,840
like yes this is slightly different but it's really frustrating as just as just

422
00:30:52,880 --> 00:31:00,399
a person who consumes technology like I was trying to look up an iFixit tearown

423
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:05,440
guide of the new Spectre so I searched for HP Spectre tearown or HP Spectre

424
00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:10,559
disassembly HP Spectre internals And it's all the old one because that's

425
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:14,399
how SEO works. Like something that's been well established to be important

426
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:22,000
sits at the top of the search. Breaking Titan X. Just call it something else,

427
00:31:18,399 --> 00:31:25,200
please. It is not a lot for me to ask.

428
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:27,200
And it feels like the more I I go drone

429
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:31,360
on and on about this, the worse it's getting. I actually was apparently, and

430
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:36,559
this is this is quite an honor, I'm very excited about it. I was apparently just

431
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:39,760
invited to join uh Razer CEO Minlang Tan

432
00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:41,440
on stage at PAX. I actually have no idea

433
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:45,039
what it's about other than that I think it's something to do with Blade. Yeah,

434
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:49,120
which makes sense because Well, it's it's okay. Oh, do we know what it's

435
00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:54,240
about? Like is it like Should we be talking about it though or is it a

436
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:56,960
surprise? I think we can. Let's just not

437
00:31:54,240 --> 00:32:01,679
anyway. The point is I'm I'm joining him there because I love the product, but I

438
00:31:59,679 --> 00:32:06,000
I I I'm saying it right now. I'm saying it right now. Heads up to the world. I

439
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:11,200
plan to criticize the Blade naming scheme while I'm on stage with him

440
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:15,039
because if I don't keep trumpeting this message, then no one will hear it. I

441
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:21,200
think he does it at this point just despite me personally.

442
00:32:18,159 --> 00:32:22,880
Uh maybe knowing that guy. Yeah, that's

443
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:30,159
what I wasn't going to say that part, but that's exactly what I thought.

444
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:32,240
All right, let's do our first uh I'm so

445
00:32:30,159 --> 00:32:38,559
shiny. It's really hot sweating right now. Uh let's do our first uh IDF

446
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:42,399
coverage here. So this is from or the original article here is from PC Purr.

447
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:46,080
I'm going to go ahead and drop this in the Twitch chat here. Boom. Let's pull

448
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:52,080
up the article. Our good buddy Ryan Shroud over there is talking about

449
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:55,360
Intel's Project Alloy that promises to

450
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,440
make my idea for how to make VR better

451
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:01,600
completely obsolete because apparently they're a bunch of

452
00:32:59,399 --> 00:33:06,559
buttholes. Mean people they're they're taking my my whole idea and making it

453
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:10,480
completely irrelevant because their idea is better and designed by actual

454
00:33:09,039 --> 00:33:17,279
engineers who know what they're doing. So, it's called Project Alloy, and it is

455
00:33:13,679 --> 00:33:20,679
meant to enable a completely untethered

456
00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:23,600
VR experience. It

457
00:33:20,679 --> 00:33:29,440
utilizes, you guessed it, Intel processors and sensors, and it moves all

458
00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:34,399
the necessary compute into the headset, including enough battery to power the

459
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:40,080
device for a typical session. The goal is to remove the need for a separate PC.

460
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:44,559
Now, this is not the first time that a chipmaker has demonstrated a working

461
00:33:41,919 --> 00:33:50,120
prototype of something like this. And uh the first example was the AMD

462
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:56,000
Sulon. So, let's go ahead and pull that up. Uh okay, the article that we have

463
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,000
here is from RS

464
00:33:56,039 --> 00:34:01,519
Technica. Come on, RS, you can do it.

465
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:08,800
There you go. That's the Sulon that had like an AMD. What was what was in that

466
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:11,200
thing? uh FX processor so bad FX APU

467
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:17,359
with R seven grade graphics so bad 8 gigs of DDR3 it was terrible why are

468
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:23,599
they doing this um well they're doing this because I guess the idea is that

469
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:26,399
while my idea of converting the three

470
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:30,240
wire tether into a single thin cable and moving some of the battery power for the

471
00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:35,679
headset as well as the media converter for Thunderbolt to um for Thunderbolt to

472
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:42,079
HDMI and USB. Uh, while my idea is probably better for now, I don't know,

473
00:34:37,919 --> 00:34:46,639
10 years from now, maybe. Sure. Assuming

474
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:48,879
Mo's law holds up. Yeah. But like I feel

475
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:53,679
like a wireless communication system while still talking to a separate

476
00:34:51,599 --> 00:34:58,160
processing unit is going to be so much better because like, okay, I have used

477
00:34:55,599 --> 00:35:02,720
the Sulong Q. It was actually, I didn't know you actually tried it. A

478
00:34:59,359 --> 00:35:04,480
disgustingly horrible experience. Huh.

479
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:08,240
Like really bad. Remember Sulon's Cortex?

480
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:12,240
That's that company. Cortex. Remember when I went to went to CES? I think it

481
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:15,760
was in 2015. And I was all excited for this one company and I was going to go

482
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:19,040
see them first and I was super stoked cuz they were another competitor in the

483
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:22,640
VR scene. That's right. That was that seemed feels like it was forever ago. It

484
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:27,040
was This was an advancement. This was an advancement. Okay. But it was a horrible

485
00:35:25,359 --> 00:35:31,599
experience to the point where they told me to come back because what I was

486
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:34,079
describing to them sounded like bugs. And then I came back and tried it again

487
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:39,960
and they're like, "Yeah, it's all fixed. Everything's good." And I'm like, "No, this is broken. This is such a terrible

488
00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:46,480
experience." And the CEO is there being like, "Oh." And I'm like, "How are you

489
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,240
guys going to compete against Oculus and

490
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:52,240
Vive?" Well, Vive at the time was not really a thing. It was pretty crap. But

491
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:57,040
then came out and now it's the better one. So anyways, um, just to frame that,

492
00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:01,760
the original Vive had a lot of problems. Yeah. Originally, he didn't talk to me

493
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:06,160
about Vive. No. At all. No, no. Yeah, that that took over that that came

494
00:36:03,359 --> 00:36:09,440
later, but I'm I'm I'm following the horse that's running the race. So,

495
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:13,440
anyway, Intel demonstrated using your hands and other real world items to

496
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:20,400
interact with the world using real sense. So, the Sulon uses a a leap

497
00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:22,000
sensor. Cool. And this is this is an

498
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:27,280
interesting this must be a comment from the article or something. Current implementation that was shown during the

499
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:32,960
keynote has promise but is currently this this is great. I I love this.

500
00:36:29,359 --> 00:36:35,359
Shroud can be so tactful sometimes, but

501
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:39,760
is currently clunky and less than what PC per expected from the company.

502
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:46,560
Interesting. The current prototype headset looks, and this is another quote, pretty heavy, pretty

503
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:48,240
bulky. So, here's the problem, though. #

504
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:54,200
disappointed. Here's the problem, though. with trying to

505
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:56,920
move with trying to use wireless

506
00:36:54,200 --> 00:37:04,000
communication to a base station the the the the gigabytes per

507
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:10,880
second there's a problem yeah of data unless you are using some kind of very

508
00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:14,160
sophisticated compression which would be

509
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,920
highly visible very noticeable on a

510
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:21,839
screen that's supposed to be the size of your entire field of vision like until

511
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:25,839
the compression and decompression technology can be done instantly, which

512
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:31,200
right now we're not even close. Like even even GPU accelerated compression

513
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:35,200
like the best that NVIDIA and AMD and Intel can develop right now uh that

514
00:37:33,359 --> 00:37:40,079
you're using for technologies like Steam and home streaming is not anywhere near

515
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:47,040
low latency enough for VR. So, we're talking uncompressed data streams, huge

516
00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:48,960
amounts of data, and you have to somehow

517
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:54,560
beam it wirelessly without everyone in the house getting cancer. Yeah, that's

518
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,520
an important part. And I get all that, which is why I understand why they might

519
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:03,040
not be going that direction, at least now. And that's fine. Move the

520
00:37:59,839 --> 00:38:06,480
processing onto your chest or your back

521
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:09,119
or your hips. I'd be interested to see

522
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:14,640
more like a suit. Yeah. like an entire wearable suit because you can make a

523
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:22,000
decently powerful computer that's like 8 lb. Yeah. H Okay, you heard it here

524
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:24,720
first. You heard it here first. Okay.

525
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:30,400
PCI Express bridge around the back to like the GPU that has direct open access

526
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:35,920
to to cooling and stuff. Motherboard mounted on the front with CPU power

527
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,440
supply like like battery packs around

528
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,640
the thighs. Yeah, cuz you could have like, you know, those stupid orange

529
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:45,040
pants I have that everyone comments on in every video that I watch. You could

530
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:49,040
have those kind of like lots of pockets and stuff on the side and have them

531
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:54,560
loaded with rechargeable batteries. This could be a very interesting project. You

532
00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:58,640
know what's really funny is like I posted a picture on Twitter a little

533
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:02,720
while ago saying like, "Stay tuned for my VR backpack. This is unlike anything

534
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:08,280
you've ever seen." So many of the comments are like Carter

535
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:12,000
Digital did a video like that.

536
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:16,880
Okay, listen carefully. This is unlike

537
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,880
anything you've seen means that they

538
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:27,040
didn't. So there's a lot of different ways. There's a lot of different takes

539
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:29,920
on a VR backpack. Boom. Yeah. Yeah. And

540
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:33,200
I think this take the This is what I would prefer. This is what I've wanted

541
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:39,440
people to kind of work on because putting everything on your head is

542
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:43,359
so unnecessary. Yeah. And you get the sulong cortex where like okay the queue

543
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:47,200
is beyond that and whatever but it's the same concept and there's a lot of

544
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:52,160
weight. It's big in the front and it's big in the back and it doesn't work very

545
00:39:49,359 --> 00:39:57,280
well. And like this is some pretty grade n physics lesson stuff here. But the

546
00:39:55,040 --> 00:40:03,440
further the weight gets away from your body, the much much worse that weight

547
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:08,320
becomes on your neck. Whereas if you can take the weight and you can get it in

548
00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:15,760
nice and tight like in a vest type form factor, I mean we could be looking at a

549
00:40:11,359 --> 00:40:19,520
very very usable experience and like

550
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:21,880
Okay, so h with it on your Where was I

551
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:27,839
going with this? I had it for a second. uh with it on your head there's the

552
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:30,640
pain and it has to be a contained experience. So there's weight, pain, all

553
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:35,920
that kind of stuff. Contained experience. It doesn't feel very good. You're not going to be able to pack in

554
00:40:33,359 --> 00:40:40,480
as much hardware for one cuz you could go like crazy like the left side of my

555
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:46,079
back has one graphics card, the other side of my back has another graphics card. Like ridiculousness. Or you could

556
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:51,200
just go with one. Doesn't matter. Like you could do either. Um, what you could

557
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:55,680
like What I'm saying is you're not that Why don't we water cool it while we're at it? Okay, why not? Let's do it. Uh,

558
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,520
what I'm saying is you're not that limited in the hardware that you

559
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:02,319
probably could, but you could you could put more stuff there, which is great

560
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,079
because you're dealing with like Atom processors or smaller stuff or whatever

561
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:10,160
when it's going on your head. That sucks and you're not going to get the performance that people actually want

562
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:17,119
right now in VR. Some people are concerned about heat, but I think with a

563
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:19,280
Skylake processor like a Core i5 6400 or

564
00:41:17,119 --> 00:41:23,520
something like that, you whatever Intel might say about that, you've got enough

565
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:28,839
power to run VR games. It's just fine. Um, and that's like are you Oh, no. You

566
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:35,520
get something like a 6600T 35 watt TDP desktop chip and like

567
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:38,880
build a channeling thing. There's a different word for that. I screwed that

568
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:42,640
up. But build a channeling thing like 3D print something. A shroud. Shroud. There

569
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:46,160
we go. Uh to go over your CPU so it pushes all the air like down. Yep. Then

570
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:52,880
it won't be hot in front of you. It's not going to blow up into your face.

571
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:54,319
Um you can use uh Yeah. Oh man.

572
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:59,599
Lower style GPUs can shoot down your back. An ITX motherboard is actually not

573
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:04,160
that big. Yeah. No, it's not big at all. Like seriously, not that big. Like there

574
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:07,760
you go. Okay. Okay. Well, we are going to uh we're going to give this some more

575
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:12,240
thought offline. But there you have it, folks. You heard it here first. Um, but

576
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:16,079
anyway, sorry, one more thing before we move on. The thing that really sucks

577
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:20,319
about it is the coolest thing about Oculus right now is the headset is

578
00:42:18,079 --> 00:42:24,319
really nice. Yep. And it's small and it's light and that's really good and

579
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:28,280
it's very noticeable between the two. Yep. Going to something where it's all

580
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:34,400
stored up there is so backwards. H. Anyways, sorry. All right.

581
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaking of things that are backwards, we usually do our Squarespace

582
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:45,680
sponsorship spot first. And today we're going to start with Dollar Shave Club.

583
00:42:43,359 --> 00:42:51,280
Dollar Shave Club has a special offer for folks who join today. New members,

584
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:56,079
that is. You get a free month of the executive razor when you buy a tube of

585
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:58,960
Dr. Carver's shave butter. This is the first time they've ever done something

586
00:42:57,359 --> 00:43:03,520
like this. something that I'm pretty sure has been in my notes for the last

587
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:07,920
couple of months. But it's okay because as long as the promotion keeps running,

588
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:12,640
it will have been the first time they've ever done this. Even if it's 3 years

589
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:17,520
from now and the promotion is still running, it will have been the first

590
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:20,720
time ever. There you go. Dollar Shave Club, for those of you who aren't

591
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:25,280
familiar with it, is good because they deliver amazing razors right to your

592
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:29,760
door for less than the price of what the more traditional razor companies charge.

593
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:34,160
My talking points actually say greedy razor companies. That's right, my

594
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:37,839
friends. They're going there. They're going there. Oh, damn. Which means that

595
00:43:36,319 --> 00:43:41,760
when you join Dollar Shave Club, you don't have to go down to the store to

596
00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:45,839
buy razors. You can look like you leave your house without ever having to leave

597
00:43:43,359 --> 00:43:51,599
your house. and you can shave with a new razor once a week without paying too

598
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:54,319
much. They've got other products, too, including the aforementioned Dr. Carver

599
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:59,839
shave butter, as well as their aftershave and their one wipe Charlie's peppermint scented butt wipes for men,

600
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:04,240
including travel sizes of some of those products. So, check it out. And if you

601
00:44:01,839 --> 00:44:08,880
are in the US, Canada, or Australia, then freaking join the club over at

602
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:18,000
dollarshaveclub.com/Linus. Which leads us then into Squarespace. Yeah.

603
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:23,440
Squarespace where your space on the internet doesn't have to be

604
00:44:20,359 --> 00:44:26,240
square because Squarespace sites feature

605
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:32,560
responsive design. Yeah. So your website will look great on a square screen, on a

606
00:44:29,839 --> 00:44:37,359
wide screen, on a tall screen, on a small screen, or on a nothing at all

607
00:44:35,359 --> 00:44:39,599
screen. Sorry, I was reading Horton here's a who last night.

608
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:44,000
I was going to be like, well, technically it wouldn't. Technically, it wouldn't look great on that, but you

609
00:44:42,319 --> 00:44:49,280
could feel great about it even if you weren't looking at a screen. They've got

610
00:44:45,839 --> 00:44:50,800
24/7 support via live chat and email to

611
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:54,880
help you get set up if you're not a super techy person. And you can actually

612
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:58,720
customize your site further if you happen to be a bit more of a techy

613
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:02,800
person. The templates all look great. Whether you want a complete website with

614
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:06,560
like directions to your restaurant and a menu and like, you know, customer

615
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:12,400
testimonials and a gallery or whether you just want one of those doofy onepage

616
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:16,560
web presences that are popular with web 2.0 companies. I mean, I realize it's

617
00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:19,520
not in my talking points to criticize one of the services that Squarespace

618
00:45:18,079 --> 00:45:24,880
offers. I'm not saying Squarespace does a bad job. Those sites do work well for

619
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:28,400
mobile. Okay, I'm not talking about the ones

620
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:32,240
that scroll a long way and actually do contain information. I'm talking about

621
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:38,319
the ones that just have like an inspirational picture and like a company

622
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:40,240
name and a slogan and like a contact us

623
00:45:38,319 --> 00:45:45,680
or something. You know what? Don't even have a web page. Or if you do, use

624
00:45:43,079 --> 00:45:49,359
Squarespace because if you do, you can try it out for two weeks for nothing

625
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:51,800
with no credit card required. And then when you decide you like it, you can go

626
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:57,040
to squarespace.com/wen and use offer code wen to save 10%. And if you need help

627
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:02,400
because you're like, "All we had before was a picture. This isn't hard." And then you're like, "Oh, I'm a little lost

628
00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:05,599
on making my website." They have 247 email and live chat support, which I

629
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:10,240
already said, but that's okay. It's still important. Anyways, it's doubly

630
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:13,240
important. Squarespace, it's doubly important.

631
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:23,200
If they're not going to let me use their old slogans, then damn it, I'm going to make up my own. So, so every week we

632
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:31,200
have to come up with our own custom Squarespace slogan now. Yeah. Squarespace. Doubly important. Double

633
00:46:27,079 --> 00:46:35,440
portance. Double portination.

634
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:38,000
Oh man. Okay. Hopefully our rep isn't

635
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:42,720
watching this one. Nick is probably just literally crying

636
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:45,839
upstairs right now. Probably. Why do I even do this? You know what's

637
00:46:44,319 --> 00:46:50,400
funny? Last week when he was on the show, he was participating in the

638
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:54,079
sponsor spot shenanigans. Turns out it's just part of the show. It kind of is.

639
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:58,040
You you you get sucked into this show, you know, like the show sucks.

640
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:09,240
We try to make it not suck. All right, next up, another WCCF tech article.

641
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:14,880
Intel KB Lake desktop lineup has been

642
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:16,960
leaked. Uh, i7 7700 K.

643
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:21,119
Yeah, that was that was difficult to predict. I sure as heck didn't see that.

644
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:26,720
You know what? Sometimes it is. That's true with things. That is true. I did

645
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:28,880
not see I did not see 6950X coming at

646
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:32,599
$1,700. You got me, Intel.

647
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:40,560
Good job. You pulled one over on me that

648
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:43,280
time. I didn't see that one coming. Oh,

649
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:47,760
and speaking of which, we do have a video for the people that asked for it,

650
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:51,920
which was a few, um, on a computer that's cheaper than a CPU, which is

651
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:55,920
really easy to do when the CPU is $1,700. That's right. We should have

652
00:47:53,760 --> 00:48:03,359
done a computer cheaper than a CPU with my 22 core Zeon for the 44,000 40 $4,000

653
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:08,240
CPU. Yeah, not 40, but yeah, like you could have a computer and a laptop and a

654
00:48:05,119 --> 00:48:09,760
new phone cheaper than a CPU. all your

655
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:14,319
electronics cheaper than a CPU. You know, people give us a lot of crap for

656
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:19,280
clickbait, but like trust me, if we wanted to clickbait,

657
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:24,240
we could clickbait. I actually have a great clickbait video coming very soon.

658
00:48:21,359 --> 00:48:29,440
Oh my. Double, triple, or quadruple your internet speed. Oh yeah. No, that's

659
00:48:26,559 --> 00:48:34,240
actually Except you actually can see. Yeah, that's we try to keep our

660
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:39,680
clickbait where like it's actually true usually and or where if there's a

661
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:42,960
question mark the answer isn't always no because there's that thing where like

662
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:48,960
when news articles do something with a question mark the answer is always no but we try to make it so that it's not

663
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:52,119
always no. So oh jeez what I will say

664
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:55,040
about this is that while the video most

665
00:48:52,119 --> 00:48:58,960
assuredly contains a reference to Theojo, he's actually offered to provide

666
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:04,000
me with a custom video clip for it. Oh jeez. It is not a Fojo video. It is a

667
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:08,800
legitimate way. Well, isn't he doing actual tech stuff now? Like not troll

668
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:13,440
tech stuff? I think he has another channel which is like actual tech stuff.

669
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:19,920
Okay. I hadn't Theojo Tech. Theojo Tech. And I think this is like

670
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:22,640
actual legitimate stuff. Okay. Okay.

671
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:28,000
Yeah. Okay. Yep. It looks like these are real things and it's actually got

672
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:32,160
content. Xbox One S unboxing. like he's actually doing real things. But that

673
00:49:29,359 --> 00:49:36,240
said, he definitely hasn't uh he definitely hasn't given up on the whole

674
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:40,119
complete nonsense seven hours ago. How to make money without working.

675
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:46,319
How to get an Xbox One S for free.

676
00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:49,200
Uh probably my favorite my favorite one of his that I've ever looked at,

677
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:55,200
although I haven't looked at many, is this one. How to get free cable with all

678
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:58,960
the channels. It involves um taping

679
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:01,040
taping blank CDs to your coax cable,

680
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:07,280
being careful of the spacing because like science. Oh god.

681
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:11,160
So be sure to do it exactly like this. I mean

682
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:16,960
Oh jeez. What the hell? Yeah. Probably my

683
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:22,119
favorite thing about his videos is not his videos, but reading the comments

684
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:27,200
under his videos of people who are like, "Actually, I I have reason to believe

685
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,200
this wouldn't

686
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:34,480
work." No, really. Hey, are those the headphones

687
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:39,119
you're looking for? Uh, no. I found them. Brandon did have them, though. He

688
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:42,079
had two pairs. He had one pair signed out and he had the other pair on his

689
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:47,119
desk. He's like, "Oh, yeah. I noticed I had two." So, I put one on my desk. It's

690
00:50:45,359 --> 00:50:50,079
just like how that one day when we were all going to like compete over that

691
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:54,640
mouse and then he just noticed that it happened to be plugged into his computer

692
00:50:51,599 --> 00:50:57,920
already and just took it. Yeah. The MXM.

693
00:50:54,640 --> 00:51:00,160
Yeah. I still have one on my desk cuz I

694
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:04,160
was going to review it. It has literally never been plugged in. Oh, what? Yeah. I

695
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:10,880
just I keep meaning to like review it, but I really like mo like I actually get

696
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:14,559
I I get the I get that really worrying

697
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:19,359
feels really cold but hot uh sensation

698
00:51:14,559 --> 00:51:24,880
in my wrist if I use almost anything but

699
00:51:19,359 --> 00:51:27,920
uh a Corsair um M40 or M45. Wow.

700
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:30,079
Even the additional weight of the M65,

701
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:33,119
even though it's the same shape, um it seems like it might be a combination of

702
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:38,079
the weight and the fact that I have to avoid the snipe button makes it less

703
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:42,800
comfortable for me. Like I haven't had wrist issues since I started using that

704
00:51:40,559 --> 00:51:47,680
mouse. So, I'm just going to stick with it. I'm like I'm like Taran this way. I

705
00:51:45,359 --> 00:51:52,559
actually have literally a pile that has a label next to it that says Linuses do

706
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:58,880
not touch of M45s on the shelf. Corsair was kind enough when I was like, "Yo, I

707
00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:01,720
noticed the M45 is discontinued. This is

708
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:05,760
a big problem for me. Do you have any left?" They basically gathered up

709
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:10,559
everything that was in the office, put in a box, and sent it to me. I was like,

710
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:15,760
"Look, this is in your best interest because my mouse, whether on purpose or

711
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:21,040
by accident, appears on camera all the time. It is in your best interest for it

712
00:52:18,079 --> 00:52:24,880
to be your mouse. But I can't have them. If they don't exist anymore, please send

713
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:28,800
me more. Yeah. So, they did it. All right. Let's talk about the uh let's

714
00:52:26,319 --> 00:52:32,800
talk about the KB Lake rumors. There are 10 SKs detailed in the leak. Uh the

715
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:37,520
mainstream desktop chips will be slightly delayed to early 2017 with

716
00:52:35,119 --> 00:52:43,200
mobile processors set to arrive as soon as possible. And the mainstream chips

717
00:52:39,839 --> 00:52:46,640
will use LGA1 1151, the same soccer as

718
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:49,359
Skylake, which is actually kind of cool.

719
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:56,400
Um it is revealed that the mobile chips are already shipping to OEMs. Oh wow. Um

720
00:52:53,119 --> 00:53:00,240
and it is revealed that KBL X so the

721
00:52:56,400 --> 00:53:02,720
HEDT high high wait HE high-end that's

722
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:10,680
right high-end desktop desktop. Yeah, high-end desktop will utilize LGA

723
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:13,760
2066 the same as Skylake

724
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:15,680
X. Um there's some like specific

725
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:20,319
processor spec stuff. There's a lot of it. So, chipset will change to 200

726
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:25,599
series. There will be no compatibility with older generation motherboards. Ah,

727
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:30,240
and the Core i7 sey700 K will be yet another quad core with a 95 watt TDP

728
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:37,280
compared to 91 watts. A higher base clock, so 4.2 versus 4.0 GHz with boost

729
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:38,960
to 4.5 versus 4.4. Plus the presumable

730
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:43,119
uh architectural improvements, though this is still not exactly like the

731
00:53:41,359 --> 00:53:47,280
world's most doesn't seem like leaps and bounds exciting thing ever. Yeah. Um,

732
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:52,800
the Core i5 7600 K will be a quad core with no hyperthreading. Didn't see that

733
00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:54,800
one coming. Um, the 7700 will actually

734
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:59,040
have a significantly lower base clock than the K variant this time around at

735
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:03,200
3.6 allegedly, although it'll have a much lower TDP. So, they're actually

736
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:06,559
going mainstream with the not K one. And they are giving enthusiasts a

737
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:09,520
significant performance bump for being enthusiasts and buying a K whether

738
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:14,640
they're overclocking or not. Although another way of looking at that is that

739
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:18,880
they are taking away how close the 6700

740
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:20,640
K was to the 6700 and making it not as

741
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:25,359
close anymore. Yeah. So that more people will buy the more expensive one. Yes. Um

742
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:30,400
because money the T chips are going to have 35 watt TDPs apparently. Uh I

743
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:34,640
actually just recently worked on a pretty cool what Intel CPU to buy uh

744
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:38,319
article. So that's coming up soon. And it looks like the T chips, while they're

745
00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:42,800
all going to be within that same TDP range, um, are going to be significantly

746
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:45,359
higher clock speeds or are going to be available with significantly higher

747
00:54:44,319 --> 00:54:49,520
clock speeds. Although I don't know anything about boost clocks right now.

748
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:53,119
It is speculated that we'll see the usual 5 to 10% per core performance

749
00:54:51,599 --> 00:55:00,640
improvement over the previous generation with key features to include 30 Hz 5K

750
00:54:56,559 --> 00:55:04,559
support on one display and 5K 60 Hz with

751
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:09,599
dual interface um with dual interfaces,

752
00:55:04,559 --> 00:55:11,680
HEVC 10bit hardware decoding, um 4K blah

753
00:55:09,599 --> 00:55:16,480
blah blah support for Thunderbolt 3, etc. So, not necessarily the most

754
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:20,960
exciting thing. Nope. But it'll be faster and it'll be like the same price

755
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:28,800
as the outgoing chips, so you'll buy it. And this is why we need Zen to do really

756
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:31,200
well. Yeah. All right. The Logitech Gro

757
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:35,119
gaming mouse designed with and for professional esports player. I always

758
00:55:32,559 --> 00:55:40,960
get a kick out of this when this is like the headline from a gaming peripheral

759
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:44,119
company. Designed in collaboration with professional esports player. Designed

760
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:47,920
for professional gamers. But Logitech, I actually had a

761
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:51,760
conference call with them about this. I decided not to do a review because I am

762
00:55:49,839 --> 00:55:59,599
just straight up not qualified to test it. Um, well, Ed's not doing it. Ed kind

763
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:02,720
of went, "Yeah, this is a legitimately

764
00:55:59,599 --> 00:56:05,359
good product by the look of things, but

765
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:09,440
he doesn't think that it's uh that it that it gets a spot on the review

766
00:56:06,799 --> 00:56:14,079
calendar right now cuz it's not like nothing fundamentally new. Basically

767
00:56:11,839 --> 00:56:21,200
what they've done is they've taken a shape that professional gamers loved uh

768
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:25,200
which is the what is it the G

769
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:26,880
uh G303 or whatever it is or it's G100

770
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:31,440
something whatever they've taken a shape G100S there we go that's the one sorry I

771
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:37,119
was I was struggling because it's all just G's and numbers so they've taken a

772
00:56:33,839 --> 00:56:41,520
shape that gamers love the G100S and

773
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:43,119
then they've put their uh PMW 33 366

774
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:48,799
sensor, the same one that's used in the G502 and the G900 inside it. They've

775
00:56:46,319 --> 00:56:54,880
optimized the weight, making it basically a good shape, top-of-the-line

776
00:56:52,280 --> 00:57:01,520
sensor, like final mouse competitor, ultra light mouse. 69 bucks. 69 bucks

777
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:04,599
for the top-of-the-line sensor. Hyper lightweight. I should make a video on

778
00:57:02,720 --> 00:57:09,520
like all the best products at $69. Actually, it's a kind of because

779
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:13,920
actually Okay, there's the P400 immature buyer guide. Yeah. Can you build a

780
00:57:11,839 --> 00:57:17,520
computer with all products that cost $69?

781
00:57:15,599 --> 00:57:23,280
And how good is it? Could you? You probably could. RAM would be doable.

782
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:25,440
Drive doable. Motherboard case, mouse.

783
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:28,880
Intel has CPUs in that range. AMD does, too.

784
00:57:27,119 --> 00:57:32,559
I mean, monitor would be tough. So would GPU. You could get a monitor, though.

785
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:36,000
You could get a video card for $69. It just wouldn't be very good. Well, same

786
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:40,160
with monitor. Yeah, you might actually be able to get a 1080p monitor for 69

787
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:43,200
bucks and you could enjoy all the 1080pness. Should I do this? Should I

788
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:48,720
actually do this? That's actually like not the worst idea we've ever had. This is a good W show. We're like coming up

789
00:57:46,319 --> 00:57:52,960
with some pretty good video ideas here. Um, so basically this is the mouse. This

790
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:58,079
is like the mystery mouse that a handful of pro gamers have been actually using

791
00:57:55,440 --> 00:58:03,119
to compete and on streams for quite some time, but haven't been able to talk

792
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,799
about. Um, looks like the bomb looks

793
00:58:03,119 --> 00:58:09,119
like it's going to sell a metric butt ton. And uh, kudos to Logitech for

794
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:14,240
listening to their listening to their customers and listening to their pro gamers because as much as I'm mocking

795
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:18,960
them a little bit here for advertising it as like to help co-design by pro

796
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:22,960
gamer, Logitech actually does seem to take that seriously and they actually do

797
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:26,839
seem to do it. So you when I was when I was there checking out the G900, there

798
00:58:24,559 --> 00:58:33,119
was a lot of like you know we wanted to do this thing

799
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:35,599
but then like so and so from the

800
00:58:33,119 --> 00:58:38,880
sponsored team was like no it has to be this way and then like they pushed us to

801
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:43,839
do this thing or that thing and these were the engineers talking where

802
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:47,520
honestly usually when I go talk to different companies the way that I get

803
00:58:45,599 --> 00:58:50,160
like the insider information that the PR guys don't want to talk about is just

804
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:54,400
talk to the engineers because they don't really have a the greatest

805
00:58:52,119 --> 00:58:59,359
filter. Usually they just kind of say stuff which is great. That's perfect for

806
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:03,720
me. So like I don't know, they actually do seem to care which is

807
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:08,960
good. All right.

808
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:10,079
Um, Global Foundaries to skip 10

809
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:15,400
nanometer. We're getting into our rapidfire topics here. To skip 10

810
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:18,960
nanometer and jump straight to 7

811
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:20,720
nanometer. So they are I guess that's

812
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:27,040
pretty much all there is to say about it. They're currently operating on 14

813
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:28,799
nanometer finfet and they in 2015 they

814
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:34,079
acquired semiconductor manufacturing assets from IBM and is using them to

815
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:36,160
fasttrack their 7 nanometer progression.

816
00:59:34,079 --> 00:59:43,200
$69 monitors possible. I should totally do that build guide. 1080p 19inch

817
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:46,200
widescreen from VSic. Ultimate 69 PC.

818
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,200
Yeah.

819
00:59:46,319 --> 00:59:52,240
I have to spray paint like a blue six and a pink nine on the side of it.

820
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:57,799
Terrible. All right, speaking of terrible, uh, Indiegogo campaign the Oh,

821
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:07,440
oh, okay, that's probably it. Uh,

822
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,440
okay. Oh,

823
01:00:09,559 --> 01:00:14,480
okay. You're welcome. All I did was

824
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:18,880
click a link. Okay.

825
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:26,640
All right. Oh, yeah. I'm trying to get one of these. Oh, really? Yeah.

826
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:29,920
V Live, the smart shorts that boost your

827
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:31,599
manhood. Well, we have actually covered

828
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:37,839
something very similar to this on the WAN Show before. That one was an

829
01:00:34,559 --> 01:00:40,720
insertion device that was for female

830
01:00:37,839 --> 01:00:44,000
Keele exercises. Well, pelvic floor exercises for males are pretty much the

831
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:48,319
same thing. I don't know if they're still called Keigull. I think they are,

832
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:53,680
but basically, yes, you squeeze, you know, the squeeze bear. And uh they're

833
01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:59,839
trying to gify it to improve sexual performance and sexual health for men.

834
01:00:56,799 --> 01:01:01,520
And you can back this if you want to

835
01:00:59,839 --> 01:01:05,440
have one of these. Blood flow to the region is just good for your overall

836
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:12,839
health, even if it's not for sexual reasons. Just to clarify. Yep. I wonder

837
01:01:08,799 --> 01:01:12,839
if it makes me look like this guy.

838
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:21,040
So, it comes with an instructional app, a wireless tracker, and sensor embedded

839
01:01:18,839 --> 01:01:24,559
shorts. These shorts may actually improve your sex life, says the

840
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:30,079
Huffington Post. These smart shorts will make your soda bottle explode, says The

841
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:32,799
Verge. Great. Someone was having fun uh

842
01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:36,960
someone was having fun writing those uh writing those those

843
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:42,000
quotes. So, there you go. Anytime, anywhere, Vive V helps you monitor your

844
01:01:40,079 --> 01:01:47,760
pelvic fitness. part of their video when he's driving the beamer is

845
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:51,680
hilarious. I just have to say that they have a whole video and he's he has this

846
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:55,119
beamer and the the lights keep on doing this like super suggestive

847
01:01:55,480 --> 01:02:00,319
thing. It's really funny. All right, so

848
01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:05,119
there you go. I don't know what a review of that will look like or if it'll how

849
01:02:02,319 --> 01:02:08,000
how safe for audience members under 13 it'll be, but it can't be any worse than

850
01:02:06,559 --> 01:02:13,680
the how to hide your porn video. So, I greenlighted that. I guess I'm greenlighting this.

851
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:19,760
Hydrop porn video was literally your idea. I think I think so. But it was

852
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:21,680
like back to like the NCIX days. Very

853
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:25,200
long time ago, but I I think it was your idea. You know what? For all the hate on

854
01:02:24,079 --> 01:02:30,480
that video, we were okay. We were talking about how I really like True Crypt back in the day. And then you

855
01:02:29,119 --> 01:02:36,640
brought up the idea of actually For all the hate on that video, it's the second hit for how to hide your how to hide

856
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:41,920
your porn on Google and has over a million views now. has been like the and

857
01:02:39,839 --> 01:02:46,079
like the like to dislike bar used to be horrible and now it's bad, but it's not

858
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:50,640
nearly as horrible. I just almost reported our video. That's not what I meant. Oh my. Don't pull a Colton. No, I

859
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:55,280
meant to uh I meant to look at the statistics.

860
01:02:52,559 --> 01:03:01,359
Um yeah, look at that. Like it it it gets jumps in views. What? That must be

861
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,799
where it hit that search ranking. Okay,

862
01:03:01,359 --> 01:03:06,880
that's probably it. I wonder if it coincides with like

863
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:12,079
seven years of time have been spent watching you basically fool around

864
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:17,039
suggestively on camera. Seven years of human life.

865
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:22,400
People really like porn. And on that note, thank you very much for tuning in

866
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:24,880
to this week's WAN Show. Uh we will see

867
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:32,400
you guys again next week. Same bat time, same bat channel. Have fun. What a show.

868
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:37,319
Have fun in your

869
01:03:37,319 --> 01:03:45,119
box. I was up early. I've been waking up

870
01:03:45,799 --> 01:03:48,960
since I

871
01:03:58,359 --> 01:04:03,880
actually Yeah.

872
01:04:01,359 --> 01:04:07,520
But you could do them in the morning, right? But I never trust myself and I

873
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:12,960
don't know when I'm actually going to be done. So like if it's, oh, I go to bed at 6:00 and then it's 3 hours before

874
01:04:10,559 --> 01:04:16,079
work. Yeah. So theoretically, if I just don't do this tonight and I do it in the

875
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:19,520
morning, it's all good. But what if it takes more than three hours? Yeah.

876
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:23,200
Exactly. You can stay up all night. You can't stay up all morning. Yeah.
