WEBVTT 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, 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. 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 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. 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 00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:30.720 by S&P Dow Jones Indices, the company that maintained the Dow index, and replaced 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. 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.400 The swap reflects the loss of influence Intel has suffered in the last year, 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 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.760 save Team Blue, as the company may be too strategically important to lose. American 00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:54.480 policymakers may be encouraging a merger deal for Intel's chip design business 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:59.680 with perhaps AMD or Qualcomm. In the meantime, Intel is planning to reduce its workforce at 00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:03.920 its Israeli research and development centers, though dozens of employees have already left 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. 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 00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:19.120 embargo being lifted. According to Digital Foundry, the console's specs are detailed within the 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:24.320 included safety guide, because nothing keeps you safer than knowledge. There were three specific 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 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 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 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 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, 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.400 Brazilian YouTube channel Tag performed the first teardown video of the PS5 Pro, 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:02.320 which was actually against the embargo. They confirmed it has an easy access slot for the 00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:08.400 CMOS battery, a repairability feature not seen on most consoles. Speaking of not seen, Sony has 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 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 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 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 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 00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:45.680 Everest on Twitter, showing AMD's newest gaming champion beating the 7800X3D by an impressive 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.760 24%. The chip was apparently overclocked to achieve this from 5.2 to 5.46 gigahertz, 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 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 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 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 00:03:14.880 --> 00:03:21.280 has been delayed beyond 2027 for a while now, according to insider Ming-Chi Kuo. However, 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. 00:03:26.880 --> 00:03:32.400 More recently, however, Gurman suggested Apple was considering making a lower-cost glasses gadget 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:37.360 that would use the computing power of your iPhone, similar glasses from companies like Xreel. 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, 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 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 00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:57.120 company may rebrand its AI as Windows Intelligence. Stop! The new name was apparently found reference 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:02.240 in an administrative file after an unpopular new update to co-pilot. Not only is Microsoft 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:07.360 basically copying Apple's Apple Intelligence, but somehow they've made Apple's AI name sound 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 00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:18.720 massive nuclear-powered data centers. Amazon has been blocked from building a data center right 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. 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 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:33.440 was found living on the land earmarked for the project, proving that nature itself has turned 00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:39.280 on Mark Zuckerberg. And Netflix is removing 20 out of 24 of its interactive specials, 00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:43.600 which are basically choose-your-own-adventure movies. They're keeping the four most popular ones, 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.480 including the award-winning Black Mirror, Bandersnatch, which I thought sucked, and Bear Grills, 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 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, 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 00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:11.360 Wednesday for more tech news. With us, the people you like. Be there.
