1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,400 So we've got a bunch of tech news today, but if we run out, try to think of something else we can talk about because I, I hate awkward silences. 2 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,500 And then the editor will leave that in, and so we will... 3 00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:21,100 NVIDIA, releasing an offensively expensive card like the RTX 4090 Ti, again, is probably inevitable. 4 00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:26,100 And if new leaks are anything to go by, when it does arrive, it might be a chunker. 5 00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:37,900 Oh, like deja vu. A recently shared video indicates that the card might have a quad slot design, with four video outputs stacked on top of each other, rather than being laid outside by side. 6 00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:44,300 So, hopefully, you also went for the XL variant of both your case and your bank account. 7 00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:47,900 You just have to sign up for the XL one, and then you have more money. 8 00:00:47,900 --> 00:01:05,200 It's when they fill it up. It looks like NVIDIA is fully enabling the AD102 GPU that's already inside the base RTX 4090, bringing the CUDA Core account to over 18,000 compared to the 10,752 in the RTX 3090 Ti. 9 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:17,600 Although details are sketchy right now, we might see two new products atop the stack, the aforementioned RTX 4090 Ti, and a higher-end model for professionals with a whopping 48GB of RAM, a VRAM. 10 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:28,900 So, yeah, we might be getting another Titan to the delight of Greek mythology enthusiasts everywhere, or probably that's also the, that might be the third NVIDIA card to be named, the RTX A6000, because there's two other ones. 11 00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:41,600 Some people understand that reference. Speaking of hot chips, not the band, Apple's new M2 Max and M2 Pro chips are now atop the Passmark laptop CPU rankings in terms of single-threaded performance. 12 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:51,100 The M2 Max sits in first place with the two Pro models directly behind it, probably feeling jealous, followed by the standard 8-core edition. 13 00:01:51,100 --> 00:02:07,300 They're just, they're just crying. It's an impressive showing for Apple considering how many doubts people originally had about Apple Silicon, but do keep in mind that since this isn't an X8664 platform, it's hard to do an Apple's-to-Apple's comparison. 14 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:20,400 Two competitors from AMD and Intel. But seeing as MacBooks are nonetheless direct competition, don't be surprised if Intel ups the ante and beats out the M2 lineup when its Raptor Lake laptop processors come out in the near future. 15 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:28,200 And if you've been having a hard time tracking down a PS5 console, it looks like you'll finally be able to get one without beating your head into the wall. 16 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,300 Well, how would that help anyone get a PS5? That's really keeping PS5. 17 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:42,800 Sony announced in an official blog post that supply has surged ahead of the release of the PSVR2, and that fans should have a much easier time finding the console itself. 18 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:50,800 Additionally, if you're in the US, UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, or Luxembourg, you can buy directly from Sony. 19 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,300 Okay, what? Canada isn't on there, but Luxembourg is? What do they have? We don't. 20 00:02:55,300 --> 00:03:00,300 Anyway, it's good timing considering that the PSVR2 is due out on the 2nd of February. 21 00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:05,800 And we'll set you back 550 bucks, which is 50 bucks more than the console itself. 22 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,800 And it doesn't even hook into Meta's Metaverse. That's actually a feature. That's actually why it costs more. 23 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,800 Uh, so this weather, hey? 24 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,800 Get to the quick old bitties. Oh, we have quick bits. Oh, thank God. 25 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,800 Intel is prepping a major driver fix for its Arc graphics cards that should significantly boost performance. 26 00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:31,300 There's a bottleneck that Intel has finally identified, which will be reportedly eliminated in an upcoming driver update. 27 00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:34,300 Except they're not in the video. Thank goodness. 28 00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:40,300 We're not sure exactly when this update will drop, but it's certainly great news, not just for folks with an Intel graphics card, 29 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,300 but also in terms of the industry getting more competition. 30 00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:48,800 Still confused about how that bottleneck got in there, though. I mean, somebody was like carrying a big armful of them at the factory, it dropped in. 31 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,300 It choked it a little too hard. Grr, look! 32 00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:58,800 You better be good. If you've got a Ford SUV, you might have a recall to deal with involving your backup camera. 33 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,800 Apparently these cameras are just showing a blue image instead of, you know, what's actually going on behind your vehicle. 34 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:14,800 Well, at least it's a good thing you got a second camera then. The recall affects nearly a half million SUVs between model years 2020 to 2023, so go get that fixed. 35 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,800 Or, I don't know, maybe just stick your head out of your window and look backwards for the time being like some sort of primitive proto-human. 36 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,300 Or just yolo it, boy! I'm gonna stop you, you're in an SUV! 37 00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:30,800 At faith. Unsurprisingly, Apple doesn't want to be left behind in the foldable device market, 38 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:37,300 which is why noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is predicting that a foldable iPad will launch sometime next year. 39 00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:42,300 And that might not seem very Apple-like, but if they actually launch their mixed reality glasses this summer, 40 00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:48,300 and then a USB-C iPhone, and then they're forced to allow side loading and other app stores on iOS next year, 41 00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:53,300 I mean, by the time the foldable iPad arrives, it might seem positively old-fashioned. 42 00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:56,300 Hmm, how quaint. We're all cyborgs now. 43 00:04:56,300 --> 00:05:03,800 It looks like Corsair has revealed its upcoming PCI Express 5.0 SSD called the MP700. 44 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,800 Given it's a premium product, it looks pretty cool with an included heatsink and fan. 45 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:15,300 Was that a pun? But it looks like the reveal was accidental as the teaser on YouTube was made private, 46 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,800 so we may not be seeing the MP700 on shelves all that soon. 47 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,800 Corsair is claiming 10 GB per second sequential read speeds whenever we do get our hands on it, 48 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,800 which should help to alleviate some of the embarrassment over this little incident also. 49 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,800 Oh, they're just mortified. 50 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,800 People, whoops! And if you're too lazy to go out and buy your own groceries, we've got some really bad news. 51 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,800 Amazon Fresh is now slapping a delivery fee on any order below $150, 52 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,300 which is way up from the previous threshold of $35. 53 00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:55,300 Amazon released some mealy mouth statement about how the fee helps keep prices low 54 00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:58,300 by making you pay more? 55 00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:01,300 I don't get it, but Daddy Bezos must know what he's talking about. 56 00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:05,300 He's very successful. And finally, oh, and finally I... 57 00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:08,300 Oh no, there's no more tech news. 58 00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:12,300 What do you think would happen if you came back on Wednesday for more tech news? 59 00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:15,800 Okay, have you ever heard of some? Yeah!
