1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,160 When I think about tech news, I get a fuzzy feeling in my tummy. My heart rate rises, 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,400 my ears get cold, my palms get strangely dry as a desert. My doctor is completely at a loss. 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,520 It may be officially time to worry about Intel. The company has been kicked out of its position 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,240 in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a long-time benchmark of the health of the U.S. stock market. 5 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,840 And in terms of health, Intel was basically a necrotic limb that naturally had to be amplitude 6 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,720 by S&P Dow Jones Indices, the company that maintained the Dow index, and replaced 7 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,240 with NVIDIA, the cool new multi-trillion dollar cyber limb with AI and a kung fu grip. 8 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,400 The swap reflects the loss of influence Intel has suffered in the last year, 9 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,280 and the stock market isn't the only one losing faith. The U.S. government is discussing how to 10 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,760 save Team Blue, as the company may be too strategically important to lose. American 11 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,480 policymakers may be encouraging a merger deal for Intel's chip design business 12 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,680 with perhaps AMD or Qualcomm. In the meantime, Intel is planning to reduce its workforce at 13 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,920 its Israeli research and development centers, though dozens of employees have already left 14 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:09,360 this year to work for NVIDIA, who is straight up single white female Intel at this point. 15 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,720 The leaked PS5 Pro specs were wrong, something we've learned thanks to the console's unboxing 16 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,120 embargo being lifted. According to Digital Foundry, the console's specs are detailed within the 17 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,320 included safety guide, because nothing keeps you safer than knowledge. There were three specific 18 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:29,680 points worth mentioning. It has a 390 watt power supply, 50 watts more than both the launch version 19 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,240 and slim version of the PS5 Digital Edition. We also learned that the GPU's compute performance 20 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,520 was exaggerated more than a man's height on Tinder. While leaks suggest a GPU capable of 33.5 21 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:48,080 teraflops, it actually manages around half that, 16.7 teraflops. But the console does have 2 gigabytes 22 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:54,000 of extra RAM, more than the 1.2 gigabytes claimed in those same leaks. Taking a more hands-on approach, 23 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,400 Brazilian YouTube channel Tag performed the first teardown video of the PS5 Pro, 24 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,320 which was actually against the embargo. They confirmed it has an easy access slot for the 25 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,400 CMOS battery, a repairability feature not seen on most consoles. Speaking of not seen, Sony has 26 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:14,400 removed the 8K liable from the PS5 Pro's box, just like they did with the PS5 non-Pro. But this 27 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,680 time they've replaced it with a label stating it's a disc-free console, like a Surgeon General's 28 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,000 warning on a pack of cigarettes, but like, way stupider. On July 7, 1967, legendary rock band 29 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,640 The Beatles released a single called All You Need Is Love. They called the song that because quick bits 30 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:39,200 hadn't been invented yet. A geekbench result for the now confirmed Ryzen 7 9800X3D was spotted by 31 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:45,680 Everest on Twitter, showing AMD's newest gaming champion beating the 7800X3D by an impressive 32 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,760 24%. The chip was apparently overclocked to achieve this from 5.2 to 5.46 gigahertz, 33 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,760 but that still wasn't enough to bring this desktop gaming chip close to last week's 34 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,200 geekbench results for Apple's M4 Pro and M4 Max, baby! But that's fine, this generation of chips 35 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,120 from both AMD and Intel focus more on efficiency than raw power, which is why the Apple chip 36 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,880 are also more efficient. What are we doing here, guys? Production of Apple's cheaper Vision Pro 37 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:21,280 has been delayed beyond 2027 for a while now, according to insider Ming-Chi Kuo. However, 38 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,880 less than a month ago, fellow insider Mark Gurman determined the headset is still due next year. 39 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,400 More recently, however, Gurman suggested Apple was considering making a lower-cost glasses gadget 40 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,360 that would use the computing power of your iPhone, similar glasses from companies like Xreel. 41 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,040 I kind of want that to be real, not because I think it's a good idea, 42 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,040 but because I'm a bad person who wants to laugh at the people who buy it. It's the little things 43 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,480 in life. Even Microsoft may have finally grown tired of the co-pilot name, as rumors suggest the 44 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:57,120 company may rebrand its AI as Windows Intelligence. Stop! The new name was apparently found reference 45 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,240 in an administrative file after an unpopular new update to co-pilot. Not only is Microsoft 46 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,360 basically copying Apple's Apple Intelligence, but somehow they've made Apple's AI name sound 47 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,600 less stupid by comparison. Amazon and Meta have both hit regulatory snags in their plans to build 48 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,720 massive nuclear-powered data centers. Amazon has been blocked from building a data center right 49 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,520 next to a plant in Pennsylvania on the grounds that it might cause blackouts for other customers. 50 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,480 Meta's own similar deal with another nuclear plant was thwarted when a rare species of bee 51 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,440 was found living on the land earmarked for the project, proving that nature itself has turned 52 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,280 on Mark Zuckerberg. And Netflix is removing 20 out of 24 of its interactive specials, 53 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:43,600 which are basically choose-your-own-adventure movies. They're keeping the four most popular ones, 54 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,480 including the award-winning Black Mirror, Bandersnatch, which I thought sucked, and Bear Grills, 55 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,240 You vs. Wild, which will be a big relief for fans of dystopian horror and drinking their own pee to 56 00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:00,080 survive. Mind you, we are losing a lot of greats like Barbie Epic Road Trip, Boss Baby, Get That Baby, 57 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,440 and WWE's Escape the Undertaker. And you'll find the perfect escape when you come back on 58 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,360 Wednesday for more tech news. With us, the people you like. Be there.
