okay so you guys know how it is best laid plans of mice and men we're talking
a 60 email chain of you know the videos
that we're going to make here at the tech day and there's a bunch of complications so we figured out a
compromise AMD is giving us a worldwide
first exclusive piece of information it
is inside that door let's go find out
what it is
so we'll be sitting down with Roger caduri here who is the lead of the radon
Technologies Group and uh we're going to find out whatever it is this is they
won't tell me anything other than that
it's a big deal you're looking full of energy for a guy who's been up since
what no it's it's kind of hitting right now just like little that's okay just
use my technique just kind of go and then yeah see it's fine so what I'm
assuming then is the big reveal that you've got for me is an enlightening
story about the subtle changes to the radi on font um that's actually the
biggest story we got I think that's that's confidential we can't talk about
that that thing okay well what are we going to do
instead we got the camera we got the camera so you know about VR yeah yeah
I've heard of it you heard of it have you tried I had to take my Vive review
unit back to the office so that my VR
editor could work on it and it was one of the hardest decisions I ever made so
love VR yeah have you tried like kind of like you know Google cardboard or like
get VR type VR y um so what I'm going to
tell you lus is that like so there are kind of two kinds of VR in the market
okay so there is VR that is I call it
bad VR right uh but very convenient
because it's you can just take your smartphone and put it inside your Google
cardboard and yeah and do that kind of stuff so it's bad VR that's very
convenient and then there is good VR right like what the the stuff that you
see with HTC and uh and and Oculus right
it's very inconvenient and you ask me why it's inconvenient it's because you
know it has tethering it has this it has that but most important in convenient
the good VR has is it's very expensive oh I was going to say the worst thing is
that I have to explain to my wife that I'm drilling holes in the wall to mount
lighthouses yeah that too yeah yeah so
there are a bunch of inconveniences there and uh we have taken um a stance
we want to get good VR to over 100
million uh users right okay and so we
created a product you know that begins that Revolution to get good VR 200
million users the cost of the PC today is one of the the biggest you know
roadblocks for getting 100 million PC users to have good VR right okay and and
in the cost of the PC GPU plays a big role right you know to play good VR with
HTC or Oculus you have to Shell out over
$400 today right okay so we created this
new technology very very comfortable for good VR for
$199 so that's the price that's the
price $99 $199 and you get awesome VR
you get like you know premium we call it the you know the Oculus and all call it
VR premium you get premium VR for less
than $200 for the first time in the history of PC VR 200 bucks 200 bucks so
do I get to see one yes you'll be one of the first ones
to get to see the one where is where is the the gift uh thing in there it's in
this beautiful
I can
this let make that $99 also very durable
very durable right durable so this is it
this is it this is the new so who else
radi who else outside of AMD then and any other press held one yet nope you're
the first one you're the first one one it's beautiful with a like a you know
teeny little six pin connector six pin connector it's power it's got the
classic uh you know EP extension uh to
the the PCB compensator as I like to call it right right and uh you know very
cool very quiet okay and because we're
using this finfet technology right and the new architecture we have reduced the
power for VR premium solution to less
than 150 watt so there you have it the
price of the rx480 is
$200 so there you have it then guys you heard it here first AMD is drop drop
dropping well lots of things but mostly
the barrier to entry for VR so thanks for watching if you guys
