WEBVTT

00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:06.520
Okay, welcome to the WAN Show. It is a

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:13.280
beautiful Friday and I uh Well, it's hot. That's

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

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

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:27.920
ventilation. The most exercise that I got today actually was closely related

00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:33.120
to the most important news from today, which is that Malaysia's Lie Chong Way

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:39.040
finally made it past China's Lindan in the So cheering was your most exercise.

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:41.760
Yeah, that um Yep. So I was I was up

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:47.680
early this morning watching uh watching watching that match. Oh man, absolutely

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:50.800
epic. Absolutely epic. Lee Chongi finally passed Lindan. If you don't care

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

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.199
badminton. I know both of these people.

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:04.720
Okay, that's not fair. I have watched Babon when you have showed me like a

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

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:12.640
show you another specific clip because it's very important. Very, very

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:18.400
important. Lie Chongi's third match point. Okay. Yeah. Lindan makes probably

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.119
the most epic save that I have seen at

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

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:28.479
great my man Lee Chong way all the way through. Anyway, sorry I will I will

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

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:39.759
Zen and then we have oh my god AMD stock

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:42.560
price in a good way this time which is

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:47.119
good. Um, there was the IDF or Intel Developer Forum and even more Intel

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

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:58.000
talk about NVIDIA's launch of their 10 series notebook graphics

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

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:01.840
that last

00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:09.920
week? I think

00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:11.480
it's Oh, no. That was this week. I just

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:16.270
saw it last week. Okay.

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:18.959
Oh, you're awful.

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

00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:29.230
all these pre-released products that I'm always playing with just like old news

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.800
and

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.879
boring? Oh man. It's like, aren't you

00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:41.120
just like a total piece of crap to our loyal viewers? all like Yeah. See, this

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

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?

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:55.519
Oh man. Um All right. So, let's see. Wait, is did someone just tell me

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

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:06.159
anymore. Wow. It took you just over a year to

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:08.400
Yes, there it has. It has definitely

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

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:19.360
into our first topic here? The original article is from PC perspective. So this

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:21.040
is a significantly more credible source

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.

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:30.640
Oh, dang. Boom. You just got you just got schooled, son. Son.

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:35.040
Yeah, son. That's what rappers do, right? I mean, sometimes. Yeah, sure.

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:37.760
But like like this, right? I think you're like reversing the 8020 rule

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

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:45.760
the results. Is that not how it works?

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:52.640
All right. Speaking of 80% of the effort and 20% of the results, AMD. All right.

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:54.319
So, no. Doing good things. Yes, they are

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:58.239
doing good things. And when they do good things, we will notice that they do good

00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:03.200
things. And the good thing that they did this time is talking about actually

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:08.239
doing a demo. So, this comes right on the heels of the WCCF tech leaked

00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:14.560
benchmarks from last week doing a demo where they showed off working Zen

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:19.840
silicon running a benchmark. I mean, we're talking a benchmark. We are not

00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:26.320
talking many benchmarks across a you know variety of different use cases. um

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:29.919
up against a Broadwell Echip, an unnamed

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:33.199
Broadwell echip with eight cores and 16

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:35.960
threads running at 3 gigahertz. It is

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:43.120
speculated that this is a fixed clock 6TN00 K, though it wouldn't really

00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:45.040
matter if it was a Xeon at 3 GHz because

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

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:53.440
you can control the clock speed. Hooray

00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:57.040
processors. Uh, so they had identical speeds and claimed comparable

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

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

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:12.000
threads for Zen, 8 core, 16 threads for Broadwell E. Both running at 3 GHz.

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:16.160
That's all we know like boosts or turbo boosts or anything like that. Uh, it

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:21.440
looks like has been left out of the picture. And then they only ran Blender

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:26.880
and the Zen processor was faster than the Broadwell E chip in Blender by 1 to

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.880
two secondsish and there was no official score screen shown.

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

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

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:45.120
processor because then that constitutes like like a performance claim relative

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

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.520
want to look that up, down, and sideways. Make sure that they're not

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.919
saying anything that they can later be sued for by Intel. In case you've ever

00:05:53.919 --> 00:06:03.600
wondered why, you know, car companies will be like competitor F and competitor

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:05.360
B. It's really interesting, not to go on

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:11.280
too much of a tangent, but like Hyundai right now is like attacking Honda super

00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:16.240
hardcore and being like, "Our car has this. this very specific car from Honda

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:19.520
doesn't have this. And like it's weird because usually companies don't do that.

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:24.160
Usually they shy away from that. Now my understanding is say competitors. Yeah.

00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:27.759
Competitors or or they would make it like like my my favorite is when they

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:31.360
have like competitors and they put like the first letter and like the last

00:06:29.440 --> 00:06:35.680
letter and like asterisk the ones in between where it's obvious but it's kind

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

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:44.560
really trying to obscure the meaning. Yeah. We're just, you know, trying to

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

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:53.000
like, "No, no, we we bleeped it. We just bleeped not even an entire letter."

00:06:51.039 --> 00:06:57.039
Yeah, we did our due diligence. Okay.

00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:02.479
Um like my understanding is it's actually pretty rare for that to turn

00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:05.599
into an actual like defamatory statement

00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:07.840
lawsuit. However, AMD is showing

00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:14.639
unreleased hardware and even internally at AMD. Okay. Dr. Sue, who is different

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:22.479
from Dr. Seuss, by the way, uh, Lisa Sue, AMD Sue. Yeah. Uh, Dr. Sue probably

00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:24.560
doesn't know exactly what configuration

00:07:22.479 --> 00:07:31.039
Zen will ship in. So, let's say they discover at the last second that their

00:07:27.080 --> 00:07:32.800
yields will not allow them to hit a TDP

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

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:41.440
and says, "Hey, you showed official score screens that have like model

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

00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:52.520
can understand their hesitance to be too upfront about any of this. Um, now Zen

00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:57.440
to jump back to the technology discussion being a hyperthreadingish

00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:02.960
thing. It's obviously not called hyperthreading. Intel TM TM.

00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:07.520
Yeah. Yeah. So, it's called simultaneous multi-threading,

00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:12.879
which which is the generic that's the tissue paper to the Kleenex sort of

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:15.199
comparison. Yeah. SMT. SMT. It makes me

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:19.360
think a lot of SMP. Anyways, don't worry about it. Um, it it utilizes high

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:23.120
bandwidth and low latency caching systems and a 14 nanometer process from

00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:29.120
Global Foundaries. And they're claiming it has a 40% increase in IPC over

00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:34.000
excavator at equal energy per cycle consumption. Although

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.

00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:43.120
I mean, if Intel hadn't upgraded their processors in the last 5 years, they

00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:48.080
could claim they have a 40% improvement in Skylake performance. Yeah. Over the

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:52.560
last thing that they they did because it's been so long. I would hope that

00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:58.560
there would be a very significant increase in IPC over excavator. So, I'm

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

00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:06.120
like AMD no pre-releas that's what our

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:12.320
viewers seem to pre-release stuff and rumor stuff and I

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:16.720
am very excited actually genuinely very excited to get this in office and like

00:09:13.839 --> 00:09:20.720
try it against things because if AMD if these things are true and especially on

00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:24.880
the slightly lower end or if this thing is considerably cheaper and can actually

00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:30.080
fight really well that is so good for markets in so many different ways. Wrap

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:32.640
your brain around this. What? Okay,

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

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:42.000
meeting was like, "Okay, let's figure out what our next build blog is going to

00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:48.480
be." We're like, "Build guide. Okay, get this." We go, "Wow, AMD has a great

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:53.680
value gaming chip that's really efficient and like has all the latest

00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:56.000
features. Let's do that."

00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:58.800
It hasn't happened in so long. I know, right? The reason why we haven't

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

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

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:15.440
the sex appeal, too. like it's the fact that whether whether the whether the

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

00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:25.920
top gear of PCs, then there's really there's really not

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:28.720
many opportunities for us to feature AMD

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

00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:38.000
last couple of years featuring AMD processors. Uh you'll see them in things

00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:40.640
like um let's see ah retro builds. So, I

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:45.120
rebuilt my first gaming machine and I used an AMD processor for that. But the

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

00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:52.560
off the best of the best. You show the Halo stuff, you show the jaw-dropping

00:10:50.560 --> 00:10:57.040
stuff that's like just straight cool factor, and you might show like a junker

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

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

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

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:12.120
that like that like yaris, you know.

00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:16.959
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The the the economical, you know, hey, it's got the

00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.959
better onboard graphics than the competitor. Um but, you know, this is a

00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:24.440
this is a building that literally doesn't have a single machine in it that

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

00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:33.680
many opportunities. Even then, they're technically on board, but like they're

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:39.040
usually separate. But this this is exciting because we as much as the Yarus

00:11:36.959 --> 00:11:42.399
doesn't excite me much. I could get pretty amped up about something like oh

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

00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:53.279
excited about a Prius. Okay, where we can go okay it's not like the cheapest

00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:58.240
possible thing to get you down the road but it's like fuel econ economical and

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

00:12:00.640 --> 00:12:05.279
excited about that. So, I'm I am I am

00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:11.279
looking forward. I just like it even from raw a competition standpoint.

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:15.839
Having good competition is a very good thing. And like Intel,

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

00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:26.160
would call it defocused. Yeah. Okay. Defocused on the desktop market. Yeah.

00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:29.279
Uh and I understand why. Not a lot of inspiration. There's basically nothing

00:12:27.680 --> 00:12:33.600
in it for them to keep innovating. What are they going to do? Go from 80

00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:37.120
whatever high percent market share or whatever it is that they're at right

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:40.560
now. It's something ludicrous to are they going to get another 1%. Yeah. Like

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

00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:47.440
AMD comes back, claws away some market

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

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:56.399
need to improve the clock speed or IPC

00:12:54.560 --> 00:13:02.240
of the next generation or two generations away core processor by 30%

00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:06.800
in order to smack down this upstart. Like that's where innovation comes from

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:12.880
because you have to understand that no one here is like is like just doing

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:17.920
things out of love. Money turns the wheel. Any publicly traded company

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:25.680
ultimately answers to its shareholders. And so if Intel doesn't have a single

00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:27.279
good reason on paper to really change

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

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.040
improves their margin, which improves their sales, like like they'll they'll

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

00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:47.440
completely reinvent the wheel unless AMD gives them one. Yeah. So good

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:49.920
competition is this looks hopeful. Yeah.

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

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

00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:05.680
the tunnel. Totally. And it's not an oncoming train. Yeah. With that said,

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:06.880
they've hurt me many times before and uh

00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:10.480
I don't With that said, at the same time, they've also done great things.

00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:15.680
They have. It's just been a long time. Yeah. So, one of my easily favorite

00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:17.839
computers that I've ever owned was a

00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:24.160
Athon X2. Like, have I made the battered wife analogy on Wow before where it's

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:27.440
like AMD and I had the good times

00:14:24.160 --> 00:14:28.959
but then there's just they just kept

00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:32.480
they just kept beating me up. They they promised to bring you to uh Disneyland

00:14:31.199 --> 00:14:36.800
and then they didn't. And then they didn't. They promised me that Disneyland

00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:40.240
would be full of, you know, Phenom 2 overclocking and it wasn't. They They

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:44.720
told you that the coolest thing ever was coming and that it was a rebranded SSD.

00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:48.160
That's right. There's been some disappointing times.

00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:51.600
This will hopefully not be one of them. Did we even make a video about that

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

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

00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:07.600
something? Uh AMD SSD. Wow. For a long

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:09.199
time. Yeah. Hold on. Uh oh man. I I

00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:12.399
really wish I could remember what it was. I'm just going to Google it instead

00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:17.680
of checking. Someone in the chat is gonna tell us. Yeah, someone will tell

00:15:13.839 --> 00:15:19.199
us. OCZ. Okay. Yeah. Where without like

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

00:15:22.560 --> 00:15:30.240
time to time, we'll have companies that instead of reaching out to us asking if

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

00:15:32.160 --> 00:15:39.839
they'll time it so that like basically the moment that it's arriving, they'll

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:42.160
like call and we'll be like, "Hi."

00:15:39.839 --> 00:15:47.360
They'll be like, "Yeah, so you've got the latest and greatest freaking

00:15:44.760 --> 00:15:51.040
unbelievable thing." We'll be like, "What? This?" And they're like, "Yeah,

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

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

00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.360
the unexciting SSDs that have ever existed. This is probably the least

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.

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

00:16:09.839 --> 00:16:15.600
don't put a sticker on something you didn't design. Especially an SSD. They

00:16:13.680 --> 00:16:18.880
didn't even rewrite the firmware. What? Like, it just the whole thing made

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

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

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.959
them, which is which is great. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. That is

00:16:29.199 --> 00:16:36.240
really cheap. Wow. Then again, SSDs are just like

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.

00:16:37.839 --> 00:16:44.000
It was just the world's least interesting product. And they and they

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:47.600
resorted to pulling tricks like like us already having it and just being like,

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

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

00:16:53.680 --> 00:17:02.959
actually at NCIX when we got briefed on like AMD's exciting, bold strategy for

00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:05.679
rebranding Patriot. These two I remember getting these at the old studio. Here,

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:10.319
hold on. I'll I'll share your screen. Okay. Were these Patriot? Yeah. Okay.

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:15.839
So, that's where I got that confusion. Yeah. Yeah. Built by partner XYZ. Built

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

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

00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:27.919
other day and I couldn't find them. Oh, interesting. Anyway, so they were solid.

00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:31.520
We actually used them in like a fair amount of stuff. So, I'm approaching

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

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

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:42.960
approaching it tentatively, but I feel like he might really take me to

00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:47.039
Disneyland this time. Maybe. It does kind of feel like it, right? does kind

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

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

00:17:53.919 --> 00:17:57.320
trip to Disneyland.

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

00:18:03.120 --> 00:18:09.120
being like mystery exciting product, it's like they're telling us what it

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.

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:21.679
Hooray." Chris 771 on Twitch chat says, "AMD soon to rebrand NVIDIA GPUs." Oh

00:18:19.280 --> 00:18:25.160
no, that was rude. Oh, that's not nice. Hey, their graphics cards are doing

00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:31.520
really good right now. 1 v1 Russ says, "Decide, is it Zed or is it

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:33.840
Z?" It's both because we're Canadian,

00:18:31.520 --> 00:18:37.360
which means that we have no culture. Yep. We just borrow from the South and

00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:42.559
we borrow from the Brits and we don't know who we borrowed what from.

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.

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:51.039
My favorite thing was playing WoW because there was a raid in an instance

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.280
and I called one of them ZG and I called

00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:57.440
the other one ZF and like but that made sense to me

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

00:18:59.360 --> 00:19:07.280
whatever sounds like like better, whatever sounds smoother. Yeah. Yeah.

00:19:03.679 --> 00:19:09.679
So, it's OCZ for me and it's WX, Y, and

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

00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:18.760
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Oh, it is. And there's something else,

00:19:17.679 --> 00:19:23.039
too. Um, can't remember what it is. Row, Row,

00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:26.640
Row Your Boat. No, no, not not that one. Uh, ABC, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:29.280
And there's like one other one other like like

00:19:30.919 --> 00:19:38.640
super Yeah, I can't remember, but it's actually not terribly

00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:40.320
important. Anyways, it sounds like other

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

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:52.400
just absolutely skyrocketed. So, I think

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:55.919
in the last day it's gone up 11% and

00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:58.120
this year it's gone up 330%.

00:19:55.919 --> 00:20:03.200
Boom. Which is insane. That is so much. I remember when

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:07.600
AMD was trading at like a buck or two. Yeah. I was actually even thinking about

00:20:05.360 --> 00:20:13.440
at the time I was like realistically it couldn't go any lower. Maybe I should

00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:15.200
just buy a bunch. But I mean OCZ became

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:19.000
a penny stock before they went under. So, I was like, I don't know. Yeah.

00:20:17.280 --> 00:20:23.840
Yeah. Although OC whatever. Um, OCL is probably a

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:27.679
little bit more of a volatile position than AMD is. Yeah. Yeah, that's true.

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.960
And I knew enough about the inner workings of OCZ to know that like that

00:20:31.120 --> 00:20:38.480
was well enough deserved at the time that that happened.

00:20:35.600 --> 00:20:43.840
Yeah. So, like that's also really cool because they need that really

00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:47.600
badly. They can't just have a really good product launch. They also need

00:20:45.520 --> 00:20:51.440
investor confidence and the fact that the investor confidence is coming before

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:55.440
the really good product launch. Okay. Of Zen. I guess our graphics cards are

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:58.799
doing super well as well. Yeah. They just don't really have that many of them

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

00:21:01.520 --> 00:21:06.960
have another comment on the graphics cards that

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

00:21:10.080 --> 00:21:15.760
there talking out into the dark. No, cuz

00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:19.880
there's Twitch chat. They didn't ask you about this. That's not a conversation.

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:24.720
Just saying things. That's it's not conversation. By that logic, I am an

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:28.960
excellent conversationalist. So, wait, you can't have a conversation unless

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

00:21:30.320 --> 00:21:35.280
a conversation. But they can they can respond. Yeah, but they won't. Yes, we

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

00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:46.240
sponsors?" says Nick Light. I don't know. It's his job to get them.

00:21:43.280 --> 00:21:51.200
I don't know how he does it. Um, see, look, the the the shocker says,

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

00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:59.520
to move on to AMD's success uh with GPUs

00:21:57.280 --> 00:22:03.600
and into something that could have a significant impact on that reason

00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:08.640
success. So, you had you've tested the RX 480, you've tested the RX 470.

00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:12.080
Thoughts so far? We're giving it the thumbs up. Definitely. Definite thumbs

00:22:10.320 --> 00:22:16.640
up. Great. The the price differential between those two cards is a little

00:22:13.520 --> 00:22:19.039
weird. It does seem like a very crowded

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:23.440
product stack, doesn't it? Yeah. But especially when you have partners that

00:22:21.120 --> 00:22:27.520
are trying to attack like it's the usual thing, right, where EVGA is the worst

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:31.960
defender here. They've had I've seen them have up to like nine superc clocked

00:22:30.080 --> 00:22:36.640
for the win. K super super clock. Super super clock

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:43.679
plus. It is freaking super clock ACX 2. It is

00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:48.320
freaking endless with those guys. Yeah. And when you have separate GPUs like

00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:54.080
architecturally different well not architecturally, okay, but like um

00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:56.240
actual like chip design different GPUs

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

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

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

00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:14.720
the better one." Yes. So, like there's Yeah. Um any anyway, so other than that,

00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:20.320
looking pretty good. Looking pretty keen, you know, but NVIDIA went and

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

00:23:21.840 --> 00:23:28.919
kind of skipped ahead to it. Yeah, I don't know where NVIDIA releases GeForce

00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:32.720
GTX 1060 3

00:23:28.919 --> 00:23:36.480
gig in a move that I personally find a

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:39.200
little bit um misleading and confusing

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

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

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.

00:23:55.520 --> 00:24:02.159
Yeah. Not the GTX 1066 gig. Yeah.

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.

00:24:05.280 --> 00:24:11.840
They've done more slightly slower. They yes they've done more than just take

00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:20.000
away some of the memory like we saw before with the 8800 GTS 320 and 8800

00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:22.760
GTS 640meg which were actually identical

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:28.640
cards other than the difference in frame buffer. The reason presumably, this is

00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:34.120
just my guess, that they've done this is because otherwise there would be pretty

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:38.320
much no reason for people to buy a GTX

00:24:34.120 --> 00:24:40.559
1060 brackets 6 GB. U then the reason

00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:45.600
for that being that the GTX 1060 is really not targeting 4K gaming or like

00:24:43.120 --> 00:24:51.679
ultrawide 1440p gaming or anything like that. And if you're gaming at 1080p or

00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:54.080
slightly above, 3 gigs of RAM is going

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

00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:03.919
people who buy that bang for the buck 199 graphics card typically do. Which I

00:25:02.080 --> 00:25:09.919
guess leads us pretty well into what makes the GTX 1063 gig somewhat scary

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:11.600
for AMD. It comes in at an MSRP of

00:25:09.919 --> 00:25:15.440
$1.99. Yeah. So, it does have a VRAM

00:25:13.360 --> 00:25:19.520
disadvantage, but it is based on the same architecture as a 1060. Now,

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

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.

00:25:24.320 --> 00:25:30.159
I've been there's Okay, but at lower

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:35.440
before we go on for a little bit, what the hell GPU launches?

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:39.520
Yeah, I know. Stop. I mean, we've had viewers complain. We've had

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:43.760
conversations like like we sat down for like a monthly review meeting and we're

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

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

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

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

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

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:13.279
videos. Oh, and then there's the X12 and Falcon

00:26:11.600 --> 00:26:16.640
and I need to make that make sense, but those are confusing.

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

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

00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:34.400
sense. And we never got there, but Luke says he has a new solution. So, yeah.

00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:36.559
Yeah. Stay tuned. Anyway, if the 1060 in

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:39.600
spite of its slightly fewer functional units, so I'm going to go ahead and pull

00:26:37.679 --> 00:26:43.679
up the anch article here. Again, thanks thanks Mr. Ryan Smith for compiling this

00:26:41.679 --> 00:26:46.880
wonderful chart that I am outright taking from you so that I can show it to

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

00:26:49.760 --> 00:26:57.279
did link it in the chat. H. So, aside from having fewer CUDA cores, fewer

00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:59.919
texture units, um, it is clocked the

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

00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:10.640
interested in testing this. So, if this thing overclocks,

00:27:07.360 --> 00:27:12.640
yeah, like a GTX 1066 gig, the 10%

00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:20.720
performance advantage that NVIDIA quoted to us over RX 480 could stretch out

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:22.960
significantly. Dun. At the same time,

00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:28.159
there's a pretty big flop difference. Yep. And like the more than 10% eight

00:27:25.840 --> 00:27:31.919
fewer texture units is actually pretty large. And like the amount of CUDA core

00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:36.559
difference is actually fairly substantial. So like it's going to be an

00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:40.559
interesting test. I don't know. I really wish they had called it something else.

00:27:38.159 --> 00:27:46.880
This is very frustrating for me. It and it really or that should have been the

00:27:42.600 --> 00:27:48.960
1060 and then the 10 like okay.

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

00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:58.279
say was this smacks of one of two things. Intentional deception or

00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:03.520
complete disorganization. And you know how you

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:05.360
and I were discussing our theory or your

00:28:03.520 --> 00:28:10.919
theory. I won't take credit for your theory. your theory that the event in

00:28:07.760 --> 00:28:14.799
London, the NVIDIA event in London was

00:28:10.919 --> 00:28:18.640
intended to launch the uh 10 series

00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:20.640
notebook uh GPUs as well as Titan X and

00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:24.799
possibly this, but that they just jumped the gun. That was kind of the theory

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:28.960
that you had thrown at me because, okay, think about it. That that talk at

00:28:26.679 --> 00:28:33.200
Stanford, like look at pictures of that room. That's a pretty random talk. Like

00:28:31.919 --> 00:28:37.120
the people in there are important and the fact that that conversation happened

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

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

00:28:45.760 --> 00:28:49.120
the subject line was like

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:58.720
surprise. What? Where did this come from? So I have confirmation from NVIDIA

00:28:55.279 --> 00:29:00.000
that is not the case. Okay. Uh the email

00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:04.000
it was a one word email. Doesn't make it less weird. One word email. No,

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:08.679
actually, no. I think there was another line. It was like, no, that was never

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

00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:17.600
really understand it. It still just feels kind of disjointed and dis

00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:21.520
disorganized because I don't like I don't understand. And why are you

00:29:19.360 --> 00:29:26.799
launching this now? You have everyone talking about the hype of all the the

00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:33.279
mobile but without M awesome new GPUs and laptops thing that just happened.

00:29:30.080 --> 00:29:37.520
And And I don't think NVIDIA is is

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:40.399
illinformed enough to be reacting to RX

00:29:37.520 --> 00:29:47.679
480 with this. Like I think this this because it's actually okay. If this was

00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:49.840
just a GTX 1060 card with less RAM on it

00:29:47.679 --> 00:29:54.000
and a tweaked firmware to address less RAM, then I might go, "Oh, this is a

00:29:51.840 --> 00:29:59.039
reaction move." But this is a different bin. This is a different bin of the GPU.

00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:02.559
Yeah. So this was this was planned months ago. So if they're Well, we've

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

00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:12.480
gig, you mean? Yeah, sorry. No, there's been rumors of a three gig. Sorry. Yeah.

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

00:30:13.919 --> 00:30:22.080
for a bit. So, it's just it's very frustrating um that that this is

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

00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:32.720
like the more I criticize companies, whether it's uh Razer or whether it's um

00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:38.000
actually I take a shot at HP in my upcoming Spectre video. Yeah. because

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:47.279
they actually have a product called the HP um ah shoot what was the HP Envy

00:30:42.320 --> 00:30:47.279
Spectre from 2012 and I'm

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:55.840
like yes this is slightly different but it's really frustrating as just as just

00:30:52.880 --> 00:31:00.399
a person who consumes technology like I was trying to look up an iFixit tearown

00:30:57.840 --> 00:31:05.440
guide of the new Spectre so I searched for HP Spectre tearown or HP Spectre

00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:10.559
disassembly HP Spectre internals And it's all the old one because that's

00:31:08.080 --> 00:31:14.399
how SEO works. Like something that's been well established to be important

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:22.000
sits at the top of the search. Breaking Titan X. Just call it something else,

00:31:18.399 --> 00:31:25.200
please. It is not a lot for me to ask.

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:27.200
And it feels like the more I I go drone

00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:31.360
on and on about this, the worse it's getting. I actually was apparently, and

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

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:39.760
invited to join uh Razer CEO Minlang Tan

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:41.440
on stage at PAX. I actually have no idea

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,

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

00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:54.240
about? Like is it like Should we be talking about it though or is it a

00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:56.960
surprise? I think we can. Let's just not

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

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

00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:11.200
plan to criticize the Blade naming scheme while I'm on stage with him

00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:15.039
because if I don't keep trumpeting this message, then no one will hear it. I

00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:21.200
think he does it at this point just despite me personally.

00:32:18.159 --> 00:32:22.880
Uh maybe knowing that guy. Yeah, that's

00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:30.159
what I wasn't going to say that part, but that's exactly what I thought.

00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:32.240
All right, let's do our first uh I'm so

00:32:30.159 --> 00:32:38.559
shiny. It's really hot sweating right now. Uh let's do our first uh IDF

00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:42.399
coverage here. So this is from or the original article here is from PC Purr.

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

00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:52.080
up the article. Our good buddy Ryan Shroud over there is talking about

00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:55.360
Intel's Project Alloy that promises to

00:32:52.080 --> 00:32:57.440
make my idea for how to make VR better

00:32:55.360 --> 00:33:01.600
completely obsolete because apparently they're a bunch of

00:32:59.399 --> 00:33:06.559
buttholes. Mean people they're they're taking my my whole idea and making it

00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:10.480
completely irrelevant because their idea is better and designed by actual

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:17.279
engineers who know what they're doing. So, it's called Project Alloy, and it is

00:33:13.679 --> 00:33:20.679
meant to enable a completely untethered

00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:23.600
VR experience. It

00:33:20.679 --> 00:33:29.440
utilizes, you guessed it, Intel processors and sensors, and it moves all

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:34.399
the necessary compute into the headset, including enough battery to power the

00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:40.080
device for a typical session. The goal is to remove the need for a separate PC.

00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:44.559
Now, this is not the first time that a chipmaker has demonstrated a working

00:33:41.919 --> 00:33:50.120
prototype of something like this. And uh the first example was the AMD

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

00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:56.000
here is from RS

00:33:56.039 --> 00:34:01.519
Technica. Come on, RS, you can do it.

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

00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:11.200
thing? uh FX processor so bad FX APU

00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:17.359
with R seven grade graphics so bad 8 gigs of DDR3 it was terrible why are

00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:23.599
they doing this um well they're doing this because I guess the idea is that

00:34:20.240 --> 00:34:26.399
while my idea of converting the three

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:30.240
wire tether into a single thin cable and moving some of the battery power for the

00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:35.679
headset as well as the media converter for Thunderbolt to um for Thunderbolt to

00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:42.079
HDMI and USB. Uh, while my idea is probably better for now, I don't know,

00:34:37.919 --> 00:34:46.639
10 years from now, maybe. Sure. Assuming

00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:48.879
Mo's law holds up. Yeah. But like I feel

00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:53.679
like a wireless communication system while still talking to a separate

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:58.160
processing unit is going to be so much better because like, okay, I have used

00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:02.720
the Sulong Q. It was actually, I didn't know you actually tried it. A

00:34:59.359 --> 00:35:04.480
disgustingly horrible experience. Huh.

00:35:02.720 --> 00:35:08.240
Like really bad. Remember Sulon's Cortex?

00:35:06.160 --> 00:35:12.240
That's that company. Cortex. Remember when I went to went to CES? I think it

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

00:35:13.680 --> 00:35:19.040
see them first and I was super stoked cuz they were another competitor in the

00:35:17.200 --> 00:35:22.640
VR scene. That's right. That was that seemed feels like it was forever ago. It

00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:27.040
was This was an advancement. This was an advancement. Okay. But it was a horrible

00:35:25.359 --> 00:35:31.599
experience to the point where they told me to come back because what I was

00:35:29.200 --> 00:35:34.079
describing to them sounded like bugs. And then I came back and tried it again

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

00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:46.480
experience." And the CEO is there being like, "Oh." And I'm like, "How are you

00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:48.240
guys going to compete against Oculus and

00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:52.240
Vive?" Well, Vive at the time was not really a thing. It was pretty crap. But

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,

00:35:55.280 --> 00:36:01.760
the original Vive had a lot of problems. Yeah. Originally, he didn't talk to me

00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:06.160
about Vive. No. At all. No, no. Yeah, that that took over that that came

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,

00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:13.440
anyway, Intel demonstrated using your hands and other real world items to

00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:20.400
interact with the world using real sense. So, the Sulon uses a a leap

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:22.000
sensor. Cool. And this is this is an

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

00:36:24.560 --> 00:36:32.960
keynote has promise but is currently this this is great. I I love this.

00:36:29.359 --> 00:36:35.359
Shroud can be so tactful sometimes, but

00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:39.760
is currently clunky and less than what PC per expected from the company.

00:36:38.240 --> 00:36:46.560
Interesting. The current prototype headset looks, and this is another quote, pretty heavy, pretty

00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:48.240
bulky. So, here's the problem, though. #

00:36:46.560 --> 00:36:54.200
disappointed. Here's the problem, though. with trying to

00:36:51.160 --> 00:36:56.920
move with trying to use wireless

00:36:54.200 --> 00:37:04.000
communication to a base station the the the the gigabytes per

00:37:01.040 --> 00:37:10.880
second there's a problem yeah of data unless you are using some kind of very

00:37:07.359 --> 00:37:14.160
sophisticated compression which would be

00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:15.920
highly visible very noticeable on a

00:37:14.160 --> 00:37:21.839
screen that's supposed to be the size of your entire field of vision like until

00:37:19.200 --> 00:37:25.839
the compression and decompression technology can be done instantly, which

00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:31.200
right now we're not even close. Like even even GPU accelerated compression

00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:35.200
like the best that NVIDIA and AMD and Intel can develop right now uh that

00:37:33.359 --> 00:37:40.079
you're using for technologies like Steam and home streaming is not anywhere near

00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:47.040
low latency enough for VR. So, we're talking uncompressed data streams, huge

00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:48.960
amounts of data, and you have to somehow

00:37:47.040 --> 00:37:54.560
beam it wirelessly without everyone in the house getting cancer. Yeah, that's

00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:57.520
an important part. And I get all that, which is why I understand why they might

00:37:56.000 --> 00:38:03.040
not be going that direction, at least now. And that's fine. Move the

00:37:59.839 --> 00:38:06.480
processing onto your chest or your back

00:38:03.040 --> 00:38:09.119
or your hips. I'd be interested to see

00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:14.640
more like a suit. Yeah. like an entire wearable suit because you can make a

00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:22.000
decently powerful computer that's like 8 lb. Yeah. H Okay, you heard it here

00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:24.720
first. You heard it here first. Okay.

00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:30.400
PCI Express bridge around the back to like the GPU that has direct open access

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:35.920
to to cooling and stuff. Motherboard mounted on the front with CPU power

00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:37.440
supply like like battery packs around

00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:40.640
the thighs. Yeah, cuz you could have like, you know, those stupid orange

00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:45.040
pants I have that everyone comments on in every video that I watch. You could

00:38:42.560 --> 00:38:49.040
have those kind of like lots of pockets and stuff on the side and have them

00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:54.560
loaded with rechargeable batteries. This could be a very interesting project. You

00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:58.640
know what's really funny is like I posted a picture on Twitter a little

00:38:56.400 --> 00:39:02.720
while ago saying like, "Stay tuned for my VR backpack. This is unlike anything

00:39:00.720 --> 00:39:08.280
you've ever seen." So many of the comments are like Carter

00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:12.000
Digital did a video like that.

00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:16.880
Okay, listen carefully. This is unlike

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:16.880
anything you've seen means that they

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

00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:29.920
on a VR backpack. Boom. Yeah. Yeah. And

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

00:39:31.200 --> 00:39:39.440
people to kind of work on because putting everything on your head is

00:39:36.520 --> 00:39:43.359
so unnecessary. Yeah. And you get the sulong cortex where like okay the queue

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

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

00:39:49.359 --> 00:39:57.280
well. And like this is some pretty grade n physics lesson stuff here. But the

00:39:55.040 --> 00:40:03.440
further the weight gets away from your body, the much much worse that weight

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

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

00:40:11.359 --> 00:40:19.520
very very usable experience and like

00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:21.880
Okay, so h with it on your Where was I

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

00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:30.640
pain and it has to be a contained experience. So there's weight, pain, all

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

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

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

00:40:44.720 --> 00:40:51.200
just go with one. Doesn't matter. Like you could do either. Um, what you could

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,

00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:59.520
what I'm saying is you're not that limited in the hardware that you

00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:02.319
probably could, but you could you could put more stuff there, which is great

00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:06.079
because you're dealing with like Atom processors or smaller stuff or whatever

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

00:41:08.560 --> 00:41:17.119
right now in VR. Some people are concerned about heat, but I think with a

00:41:13.200 --> 00:41:19.280
Skylake processor like a Core i5 6400 or

00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:23.520
something like that, you whatever Intel might say about that, you've got enough

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

00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:35.520
get something like a 6600T 35 watt TDP desktop chip and like

00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:38.880
build a channeling thing. There's a different word for that. I screwed that

00:41:37.040 --> 00:41:42.640
up. But build a channeling thing like 3D print something. A shroud. Shroud. There

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

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.

00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:54.319
Um you can use uh Yeah. Oh man.

00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:59.599
Lower style GPUs can shoot down your back. An ITX motherboard is actually not

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

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

00:42:05.680 --> 00:42:12.240
thought offline. But there you have it, folks. You heard it here first. Um, but

00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:16.079
anyway, sorry, one more thing before we move on. The thing that really sucks

00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:20.319
about it is the coolest thing about Oculus right now is the headset is

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

00:42:22.640 --> 00:42:28.280
it's very noticeable between the two. Yep. Going to something where it's all

00:42:26.160 --> 00:42:34.400
stored up there is so backwards. H. Anyways, sorry. All right.

00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:38.880
Speaking of things that are backwards, we usually do our Squarespace

00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:45.680
sponsorship spot first. And today we're going to start with Dollar Shave Club.

00:42:43.359 --> 00:42:51.280
Dollar Shave Club has a special offer for folks who join today. New members,

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

00:42:53.200 --> 00:42:58.960
Dr. Carver's shave butter. This is the first time they've ever done something

00:42:57.359 --> 00:43:03.520
like this. something that I'm pretty sure has been in my notes for the last

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:07.920
couple of months. But it's okay because as long as the promotion keeps running,

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

00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:17.520
from now and the promotion is still running, it will have been the first

00:43:14.560 --> 00:43:20.720
time ever. There you go. Dollar Shave Club, for those of you who aren't

00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:25.280
familiar with it, is good because they deliver amazing razors right to your

00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:29.760
door for less than the price of what the more traditional razor companies charge.

00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:34.160
My talking points actually say greedy razor companies. That's right, my

00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:37.839
friends. They're going there. They're going there. Oh, damn. Which means that

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

00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:45.839
buy razors. You can look like you leave your house without ever having to leave

00:43:43.359 --> 00:43:51.599
your house. and you can shave with a new razor once a week without paying too

00:43:49.680 --> 00:43:54.319
much. They've got other products, too, including the aforementioned Dr. Carver

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,

00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:04.240
including travel sizes of some of those products. So, check it out. And if you

00:44:01.839 --> 00:44:08.880
are in the US, Canada, or Australia, then freaking join the club over at

00:44:10.680 --> 00:44:18.000
dollarshaveclub.com/Linus. Which leads us then into Squarespace. Yeah.

00:44:15.160 --> 00:44:23.440
Squarespace where your space on the internet doesn't have to be

00:44:20.359 --> 00:44:26.240
square because Squarespace sites feature

00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:32.560
responsive design. Yeah. So your website will look great on a square screen, on a

00:44:29.839 --> 00:44:37.359
wide screen, on a tall screen, on a small screen, or on a nothing at all

00:44:35.359 --> 00:44:39.599
screen. Sorry, I was reading Horton here's a who last night.

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

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

00:44:45.839 --> 00:44:50.800
24/7 support via live chat and email to

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

00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:58.720
customize your site further if you happen to be a bit more of a techy

00:44:56.400 --> 00:45:02.800
person. The templates all look great. Whether you want a complete website with

00:45:00.640 --> 00:45:06.560
like directions to your restaurant and a menu and like, you know, customer

00:45:04.560 --> 00:45:12.400
testimonials and a gallery or whether you just want one of those doofy onepage

00:45:10.560 --> 00:45:16.560
web presences that are popular with web 2.0 companies. I mean, I realize it's

00:45:14.720 --> 00:45:19.520
not in my talking points to criticize one of the services that Squarespace

00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:24.880
offers. I'm not saying Squarespace does a bad job. Those sites do work well for

00:45:22.240 --> 00:45:28.400
mobile. Okay, I'm not talking about the ones

00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:32.240
that scroll a long way and actually do contain information. I'm talking about

00:45:30.640 --> 00:45:38.319
the ones that just have like an inspirational picture and like a company

00:45:34.640 --> 00:45:40.240
name and a slogan and like a contact us

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

00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:49.359
Squarespace because if you do, you can try it out for two weeks for nothing

00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:51.800
with no credit card required. And then when you decide you like it, you can go

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

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

00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:05.599
on making my website." They have 247 email and live chat support, which I

00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:10.240
already said, but that's okay. It's still important. Anyways, it's doubly

00:46:07.680 --> 00:46:13.240
important. Squarespace, it's doubly important.

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

00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:31.200
have to come up with our own custom Squarespace slogan now. Yeah. Squarespace. Doubly important. Double

00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:35.440
portance. Double portination.

00:46:31.200 --> 00:46:38.000
Oh man. Okay. Hopefully our rep isn't

00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:42.720
watching this one. Nick is probably just literally crying

00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:45.839
upstairs right now. Probably. Why do I even do this? You know what's

00:46:44.319 --> 00:46:50.400
funny? Last week when he was on the show, he was participating in the

00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:54.079
sponsor spot shenanigans. Turns out it's just part of the show. It kind of is.

00:46:52.160 --> 00:46:58.040
You you you get sucked into this show, you know, like the show sucks.

00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:09.240
We try to make it not suck. All right, next up, another WCCF tech article.

00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:14.880
Intel KB Lake desktop lineup has been

00:47:09.240 --> 00:47:16.960
leaked. Uh, i7 7700 K.

00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:21.119
Yeah, that was that was difficult to predict. I sure as heck didn't see that.

00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:26.720
You know what? Sometimes it is. That's true with things. That is true. I did

00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:28.880
not see I did not see 6950X coming at

00:47:26.720 --> 00:47:32.599
$1,700. You got me, Intel.

00:47:33.680 --> 00:47:40.560
Good job. You pulled one over on me that

00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:43.280
time. I didn't see that one coming. Oh,

00:47:40.560 --> 00:47:47.760
and speaking of which, we do have a video for the people that asked for it,

00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:51.920
which was a few, um, on a computer that's cheaper than a CPU, which is

00:47:50.160 --> 00:47:55.920
really easy to do when the CPU is $1,700. That's right. We should have

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

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

00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:09.760
new phone cheaper than a CPU. all your

00:48:08.240 --> 00:48:14.319
electronics cheaper than a CPU. You know, people give us a lot of crap for

00:48:11.520 --> 00:48:19.280
clickbait, but like trust me, if we wanted to clickbait,

00:48:16.560 --> 00:48:24.240
we could clickbait. I actually have a great clickbait video coming very soon.

00:48:21.359 --> 00:48:29.440
Oh my. Double, triple, or quadruple your internet speed. Oh yeah. No, that's

00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:34.240
actually Except you actually can see. Yeah, that's we try to keep our

00:48:31.680 --> 00:48:39.680
clickbait where like it's actually true usually and or where if there's a

00:48:37.040 --> 00:48:42.960
question mark the answer isn't always no because there's that thing where like

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

00:48:45.680 --> 00:48:52.119
always no. So oh jeez what I will say

00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:55.040
about this is that while the video most

00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:58.960
assuredly contains a reference to Theojo, he's actually offered to provide

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

00:49:02.240 --> 00:49:08.800
legitimate way. Well, isn't he doing actual tech stuff now? Like not troll

00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:13.440
tech stuff? I think he has another channel which is like actual tech stuff.

00:49:11.200 --> 00:49:19.920
Okay. I hadn't Theojo Tech. Theojo Tech. And I think this is like

00:49:16.240 --> 00:49:22.640
actual legitimate stuff. Okay. Okay.

00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:28.000
Yeah. Okay. Yep. It looks like these are real things and it's actually got

00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:32.160
content. Xbox One S unboxing. like he's actually doing real things. But that

00:49:29.359 --> 00:49:36.240
said, he definitely hasn't uh he definitely hasn't given up on the whole

00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:40.119
complete nonsense seven hours ago. How to make money without working.

00:49:40.720 --> 00:49:46.319
How to get an Xbox One S for free.

00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:49.200
Uh probably my favorite my favorite one of his that I've ever looked at,

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

00:49:51.040 --> 00:49:58.960
the channels. It involves um taping

00:49:55.200 --> 00:50:01.040
taping blank CDs to your coax cable,

00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:07.280
being careful of the spacing because like science. Oh god.

00:50:05.200 --> 00:50:11.160
So be sure to do it exactly like this. I mean

00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:16.960
Oh jeez. What the hell? Yeah. Probably my

00:50:15.200 --> 00:50:22.119
favorite thing about his videos is not his videos, but reading the comments

00:50:19.200 --> 00:50:27.200
under his videos of people who are like, "Actually, I I have reason to believe

00:50:24.640 --> 00:50:27.200
this wouldn't

00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:34.480
work." No, really. Hey, are those the headphones

00:50:32.160 --> 00:50:39.119
you're looking for? Uh, no. I found them. Brandon did have them, though. He

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

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

00:50:45.359 --> 00:50:50.079
just like how that one day when we were all going to like compete over that

00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:54.640
mouse and then he just noticed that it happened to be plugged into his computer

00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:57.920
already and just took it. Yeah. The MXM.

00:50:54.640 --> 00:51:00.160
Yeah. I still have one on my desk cuz I

00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:04.160
was going to review it. It has literally never been plugged in. Oh, what? Yeah. I

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

00:51:07.200 --> 00:51:14.559
I I get the I get that really worrying

00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:19.359
feels really cold but hot uh sensation

00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:24.880
in my wrist if I use almost anything but

00:51:19.359 --> 00:51:27.920
uh a Corsair um M40 or M45. Wow.

00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:30.079
Even the additional weight of the M65,

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

00:51:31.680 --> 00:51:38.079
the weight and the fact that I have to avoid the snipe button makes it less

00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:42.800
comfortable for me. Like I haven't had wrist issues since I started using that

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

00:51:45.359 --> 00:51:52.559
actually have literally a pile that has a label next to it that says Linuses do

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

00:51:55.680 --> 00:52:01.720
noticed the M45 is discontinued. This is

00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:05.760
a big problem for me. Do you have any left?" They basically gathered up

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,

00:52:08.400 --> 00:52:15.760
"Look, this is in your best interest because my mouse, whether on purpose or

00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:21.040
by accident, appears on camera all the time. It is in your best interest for it

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

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

00:52:26.319 --> 00:52:32.800
talk about the KB Lake rumors. There are 10 SKs detailed in the leak. Uh the

00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:37.520
mainstream desktop chips will be slightly delayed to early 2017 with

00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:43.200
mobile processors set to arrive as soon as possible. And the mainstream chips

00:52:39.839 --> 00:52:46.640
will use LGA1 1151, the same soccer as

00:52:43.200 --> 00:52:49.359
Skylake, which is actually kind of cool.

00:52:46.640 --> 00:52:56.400
Um it is revealed that the mobile chips are already shipping to OEMs. Oh wow. Um

00:52:53.119 --> 00:53:00.240
and it is revealed that KBL X so the

00:52:56.400 --> 00:53:02.720
HEDT high high wait HE high-end that's

00:53:00.240 --> 00:53:10.680
right high-end desktop desktop. Yeah, high-end desktop will utilize LGA

00:53:06.680 --> 00:53:13.760
2066 the same as Skylake

00:53:10.680 --> 00:53:15.680
X. Um there's some like specific

00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:20.319
processor spec stuff. There's a lot of it. So, chipset will change to 200

00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:25.599
series. There will be no compatibility with older generation motherboards. Ah,

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

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

00:53:33.040 --> 00:53:38.960
to 4.5 versus 4.4. Plus the presumable

00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:43.119
uh architectural improvements, though this is still not exactly like the

00:53:41.359 --> 00:53:47.280
world's most doesn't seem like leaps and bounds exciting thing ever. Yeah. Um,

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

00:53:48.720 --> 00:53:54.800
one coming. Um, the 7700 will actually

00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:59.040
have a significantly lower base clock than the K variant this time around at

00:53:56.680 --> 00:54:03.200
3.6 allegedly, although it'll have a much lower TDP. So, they're actually

00:54:00.720 --> 00:54:06.559
going mainstream with the not K one. And they are giving enthusiasts a

00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:09.520
significant performance bump for being enthusiasts and buying a K whether

00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:14.640
they're overclocking or not. Although another way of looking at that is that

00:54:11.200 --> 00:54:18.880
they are taking away how close the 6700

00:54:14.640 --> 00:54:20.640
K was to the 6700 and making it not as

00:54:18.880 --> 00:54:25.359
close anymore. Yeah. So that more people will buy the more expensive one. Yes. Um

00:54:23.520 --> 00:54:30.400
because money the T chips are going to have 35 watt TDPs apparently. Uh I

00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:34.640
actually just recently worked on a pretty cool what Intel CPU to buy uh

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

00:54:36.720 --> 00:54:42.800
all going to be within that same TDP range, um, are going to be significantly

00:54:40.640 --> 00:54:45.359
higher clock speeds or are going to be available with significantly higher

00:54:44.319 --> 00:54:49.520
clock speeds. Although I don't know anything about boost clocks right now.

00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:53.119
It is speculated that we'll see the usual 5 to 10% per core performance

00:54:51.599 --> 00:55:00.640
improvement over the previous generation with key features to include 30 Hz 5K

00:54:56.559 --> 00:55:04.559
support on one display and 5K 60 Hz with

00:55:00.640 --> 00:55:09.599
dual interface um with dual interfaces,

00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:11.680
HEVC 10bit hardware decoding, um 4K blah

00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:16.480
blah blah support for Thunderbolt 3, etc. So, not necessarily the most

00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:20.960
exciting thing. Nope. But it'll be faster and it'll be like the same price

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

00:55:24.160 --> 00:55:31.200
well. Yeah. All right. The Logitech Gro

00:55:28.800 --> 00:55:35.119
gaming mouse designed with and for professional esports player. I always

00:55:32.559 --> 00:55:40.960
get a kick out of this when this is like the headline from a gaming peripheral

00:55:38.200 --> 00:55:44.119
company. Designed in collaboration with professional esports player. Designed

00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:47.920
for professional gamers. But Logitech, I actually had a

00:55:46.640 --> 00:55:51.760
conference call with them about this. I decided not to do a review because I am

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

00:55:56.400 --> 00:56:02.720
of went, "Yeah, this is a legitimately

00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:05.359
good product by the look of things, but

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

00:56:06.799 --> 00:56:14.079
calendar right now cuz it's not like nothing fundamentally new. Basically

00:56:11.839 --> 00:56:21.200
what they've done is they've taken a shape that professional gamers loved uh

00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:25.200
which is the what is it the G

00:56:21.200 --> 00:56:26.880
uh G303 or whatever it is or it's G100

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

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

00:56:33.839 --> 00:56:41.520
shape that gamers love the G100S and

00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:43.119
then they've put their uh PMW 33 366

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

00:56:46.319 --> 00:56:54.880
optimized the weight, making it basically a good shape, top-of-the-line

00:56:52.280 --> 00:57:01.520
sensor, like final mouse competitor, ultra light mouse. 69 bucks. 69 bucks

00:56:58.880 --> 00:57:04.599
for the top-of-the-line sensor. Hyper lightweight. I should make a video on

00:57:02.720 --> 00:57:09.520
like all the best products at $69. Actually, it's a kind of because

00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:13.920
actually Okay, there's the P400 immature buyer guide. Yeah. Can you build a

00:57:11.839 --> 00:57:17.520
computer with all products that cost $69?

00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:23.280
And how good is it? Could you? You probably could. RAM would be doable.

00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:25.440
Drive doable. Motherboard case, mouse.

00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:28.880
Intel has CPUs in that range. AMD does, too.

00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:32.559
I mean, monitor would be tough. So would GPU. You could get a monitor, though.

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

00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:40.160
with monitor. Yeah, you might actually be able to get a 1080p monitor for 69

00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:43.200
bucks and you could enjoy all the 1080pness. Should I do this? Should I

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

00:57:46.319 --> 00:57:52.960
with some pretty good video ideas here. Um, so basically this is the mouse. This

00:57:51.040 --> 00:57:58.079
is like the mystery mouse that a handful of pro gamers have been actually using

00:57:55.440 --> 00:58:03.119
to compete and on streams for quite some time, but haven't been able to talk

00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:04.799
about. Um, looks like the bomb looks

00:58:03.119 --> 00:58:09.119
like it's going to sell a metric butt ton. And uh, kudos to Logitech for

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

00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:18.960
them a little bit here for advertising it as like to help co-design by pro

00:58:16.160 --> 00:58:22.960
gamer, Logitech actually does seem to take that seriously and they actually do

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

00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:33.119
was a lot of like you know we wanted to do this thing

00:58:29.760 --> 00:58:35.599
but then like so and so from the

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

00:58:37.520 --> 00:58:43.839
do this thing or that thing and these were the engineers talking where

00:58:41.920 --> 00:58:47.520
honestly usually when I go talk to different companies the way that I get

00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:50.160
like the insider information that the PR guys don't want to talk about is just

00:58:48.880 --> 00:58:54.400
talk to the engineers because they don't really have a the greatest

00:58:52.119 --> 00:58:59.359
filter. Usually they just kind of say stuff which is great. That's perfect for

00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:03.720
me. So like I don't know, they actually do seem to care which is

00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:08.960
good. All right.

00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:10.079
Um, Global Foundaries to skip 10

00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:15.400
nanometer. We're getting into our rapidfire topics here. To skip 10

00:59:12.160 --> 00:59:18.960
nanometer and jump straight to 7

00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:20.720
nanometer. So they are I guess that's

00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:27.040
pretty much all there is to say about it. They're currently operating on 14

00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:28.799
nanometer finfet and they in 2015 they

00:59:27.040 --> 00:59:34.079
acquired semiconductor manufacturing assets from IBM and is using them to

00:59:30.400 --> 00:59:36.160
fasttrack their 7 nanometer progression.

00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:43.200
$69 monitors possible. I should totally do that build guide. 1080p 19inch

00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:46.200
widescreen from VSic. Ultimate 69 PC.

00:59:43.200 --> 00:59:46.200
Yeah.

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.

00:59:50.480 --> 00:59:57.799
Terrible. All right, speaking of terrible, uh, Indiegogo campaign the Oh,

00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:07.440
oh, okay, that's probably it. Uh,

01:00:03.720 --> 01:00:07.440
okay. Oh,

01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:14.480
okay. You're welcome. All I did was

01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:18.880
click a link. Okay.

01:00:17.040 --> 01:00:26.640
All right. Oh, yeah. I'm trying to get one of these. Oh, really? Yeah.

01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:29.920
V Live, the smart shorts that boost your

01:00:26.640 --> 01:00:31.599
manhood. Well, we have actually covered

01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:37.839
something very similar to this on the WAN Show before. That one was an

01:00:34.559 --> 01:00:40.720
insertion device that was for female

01:00:37.839 --> 01:00:44.000
Keele exercises. Well, pelvic floor exercises for males are pretty much the

01:00:43.040 --> 01:00:48.319
same thing. I don't know if they're still called Keigull. I think they are,

01:00:46.240 --> 01:00:53.680
but basically, yes, you squeeze, you know, the squeeze bear. And uh they're

01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:59.839
trying to gify it to improve sexual performance and sexual health for men.

01:00:56.799 --> 01:01:01.520
And you can back this if you want to

01:00:59.839 --> 01:01:05.440
have one of these. Blood flow to the region is just good for your overall

01:01:03.520 --> 01:01:12.839
health, even if it's not for sexual reasons. Just to clarify. Yep. I wonder

01:01:08.799 --> 01:01:12.839
if it makes me look like this guy.

01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:21.040
So, it comes with an instructional app, a wireless tracker, and sensor embedded

01:01:18.839 --> 01:01:24.559
shorts. These shorts may actually improve your sex life, says the

01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:30.079
Huffington Post. These smart shorts will make your soda bottle explode, says The

01:01:26.400 --> 01:01:32.799
Verge. Great. Someone was having fun uh

01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:36.960
someone was having fun writing those uh writing those those

01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:42.000
quotes. So, there you go. Anytime, anywhere, Vive V helps you monitor your

01:01:40.079 --> 01:01:47.760
pelvic fitness. part of their video when he's driving the beamer is

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

01:01:49.680 --> 01:01:55.119
beamer and the the lights keep on doing this like super suggestive

01:01:55.480 --> 01:02:00.319
thing. It's really funny. All right, so

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

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

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.

01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:19.760
Hydrop porn video was literally your idea. I think I think so. But it was

01:02:16.160 --> 01:02:21.680
like back to like the NCIX days. Very

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

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

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

01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:41.920
your porn on Google and has over a million views now. has been like the and

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

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

01:02:49.040 --> 01:02:55.280
meant to uh I meant to look at the statistics.

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

01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:02.799
where it hit that search ranking. Okay,

01:03:01.359 --> 01:03:06.880
that's probably it. I wonder if it coincides with like

01:03:05.200 --> 01:03:12.079
seven years of time have been spent watching you basically fool around

01:03:09.520 --> 01:03:17.039
suggestively on camera. Seven years of human life.

01:03:15.200 --> 01:03:22.400
People really like porn. And on that note, thank you very much for tuning in

01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:24.880
to this week's WAN Show. Uh we will see

01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:32.400
you guys again next week. Same bat time, same bat channel. Have fun. What a show.

01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:37.319
Have fun in your

01:03:37.319 --> 01:03:45.119
box. I was up early. I've been waking up

01:03:45.799 --> 01:03:48.960
since I

01:03:58.359 --> 01:04:03.880
actually Yeah.

01:04:01.359 --> 01:04:07.520
But you could do them in the morning, right? But I never trust myself and I

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

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

01:04:14.240 --> 01:04:19.520
morning, it's all good. But what if it takes more than three hours? Yeah.

01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:23.200
Exactly. You can stay up all night. You can't stay up all morning. Yeah.
