let me guess you're here because you haven't gotten your tech news yet that's
fine that's fine it's nothing to be ashamed of AMD was not ashamed at all to
let loose a whole whack of details about their upcoming ryzen 7000 series
processors at compudex because some of the top end models will be able to boost
up to 5.5 gigahertz matching Intel's
core i9 12 900 ks who is probably
so embarrassed right now the 7000 series will use team red's zen
4 architecture which will apparently confer a 15
uplift in single core performance AMD says the chips will be the first 5
nanometer desktop processors which i guess
is a shot at apple's m1 powered mac mini and imac they thought they were desktops
oh honey no no no no all ryzen 7000 chips will also
include integrated gpus once more powered by rdna 2 graphics which is
great although some enthusiasts are already criticizing the 15 performance
uplift as extremely low given the doubling of l2 cash to one megabyte per
core so it's a good thing AMD said they'll support their existing am4
platform for many years to come but i don't know these new am5 motherboards
look pretty cool support for PCIe 5.0 ddr5 wi-fi 6e and up to 14 20 gigabits
per second usb-c ports there's even the rog crosshair x670e extreme and the e
stands for xtreme 2 so that's two extremes
wow oh and if you can't afford 14 usb-c ports AMD is going to launch budget
laptop apus with zen 2 cores and rdna 2 graphics called
mendocino wikipedia says that means of
mendoza which is i don't know about you i like that Corsair also shared some
team red focus news today with the introduction of the company's first
gaming laptop the voyager 1600 which is
powered by up to a ryzen 9 6900 hs
processor and a Radeon rx 6800m GPU and
it's good thing too because you'll need a lot of power to run the touch bar
yeah it's it's got a touch bar like a like a mac but this one's different it
can be customized with stream decks software which is why Corsair is
positioning this unit towards streamers popular ones who may be able to afford
its starting price of 2 700 us dollars
although it does have a 16 inch 240 hertz qhd plus screen cherry mx key
switches and a dedicated mux switch i don't know how they forgot to fill in
that hole in the middle though have you seen it it's just you can see right through it and google has struck another
agreement to let match group the parent company of dating apps tinder and hinge
continue using alternative payment methods other than the google play
store's built-in billing system which requires devs to give google a cut of
transactions the agreement follows match group filing a lawsuit earlier this
month after google began to finally start enforcing its policy requiring
certain developers to use play store billing which google was like
super chill about before it wasn't big deal that's what talking
to tim sweeney will do to you you're just different afterwards the match
group agreement also follows a similar agreement with music service band camp
who will be able to use its existing payment system until the lawsuit between
its new owner epic games and google is resolved it hasn't really even started
yet and the apple in epic case is still being appealed so it seems like we might
just be talking about this until the ice caps melt

the form gabe knows we don't need another lawsuit ifixit has listed
official parts for valve's steam deck gaming handheld and index vr headset for
sale on the ifixit store after leaks of the company's plans showed up on the
weekend while you can't get necessarily every part right now the motherboard
isn't available and seems like stock for other parts have already run out it's
more good news for the right to repair movement even if valve's instructions to
not repair the steam deck yourself still ring in my mind but it does make more
sense if they're talking to me not to you you can do it i would
probably take out the building i don't even want to think about what dennis would do
microsoft also had a computex keynote last night which they used to talk about
how user adoption and satisfaction with Windows 11 is the highest out of all
Windows operating system releases i'm sorry i couldn't say that without laughing i guess they're saying that now
before they launch the public version of the insider build that currently has a
mandatory search bar on the desktop that will only use bing and microsoft edge i
feel like that would change things take two owner of rockstar and 2k games has

amazon to apple to buy them out i mean they have so much value to offer

computer processors normally use heat sinks to cool off but researchers in
illinois and california have developed a new solution coating the entire device
not just the processor in a conformal coating of copper the method is
apparently at least as good as regular heatsinks and might actually be more
efficient i'm sure they didn't mean to end noctual's whole career like that but
i'm sure you'll still be able to put brown fans all over your pc if you want to and boeing's starliner crew module
