1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,320 The Consumer Electronics Show has officially begun in Las Vegas and will be bringing you all the highlights 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,000 from right here in our regular studio, where it's safe and clean and not a desert. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,080 I hate sand. The Wi-Fi Alliance announced that they have officially 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,640 confirmed the Wi-Fi 7 standard and they've already started to certify devices 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:23,360 to ensure they work together. Unlike me and Selena, that was never gonna last. 6 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,880 The new standard will have twice the channel bandwidth of Wi-Fi 5, 6 and 6e, 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,280 making it better for, surprise, surprise, high bandwidth streaming. 8 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,440 The Alliance listed several use cases that will benefit from the improvements 9 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,800 of the new standard like hybrid work, mixed reality, 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,000 and real thing they wrote that totally isn't boomer-coded 11 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,680 electronic gaming. One of the biggest improvements introduced by Wi-Fi 7 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,760 is multi-link operation. Instead of connecting your device 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,000 to just the 2.4 gigahertz band or just the 5 gigahertz or 6 gigahertz band, 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,040 you can essentially connect to two or all three of them simultaneously. 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,120 The connection will then default to whatever band as fast as. 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,960 This should also reduce latency since having three bands available at the same time 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,760 should reduce the queue on each of them. If that sounds exciting, you don't have to wait for Wi-Fi 7 devices. 18 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:14,560 Qualcomm, for example, has announced several designs that use the standard and say their Fast Connect 7800 module 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,440 already found in their Snapdragon 8, Gen 2, and three chips are certified. 20 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,600 Technically, Wi-Fi 7 routers came out months ago too. 21 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,440 They just aren't certified. Unlike Selena, that's actually how we met, 22 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:33,200 but I broke out. We're happier for it. AMD has officially announced the RX 7600 XT, 23 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,840 the first 16 Gigabyte VRAM card under $500 this generation. 24 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,620 That's important because 16 gigabytes is the minimum memory requirement 25 00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:47,320 for generative AI applications like stable diffusion. And that means for just $329, 26 00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:52,120 the MSRP of the 7600 XT, you can make an artist cry. 27 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,360 Or at least you can once the card launches on the 24th of this month. 28 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaking of cards we already knew existed, but are now officially announced, 29 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,400 NVIDIA was so excited to unveil the new 40 series super cards at CES, 30 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:09,280 they only talked about AI for like 20 minutes first. Team Green confirmed the rumored prices we discussed last week 31 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,200 and revealed release dates. The 4070 Super arrives January 17th for $600, 32 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,320 followed by the 4070 Ti Super on the 24th for $800. 33 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:25,200 The 4080 Super launches at the end of the month for a thousand bucks, $200 less than the 4080 non-super. 34 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,000 NVIDIA took a lot of pride in comparing the cards to the previous generation. 35 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,400 According to the company, when using DLSS3, 36 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,900 the 4080 Super is two times faster than a 3080 Ti. 37 00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:41,000 The 4070 Ti Super is 2.5 times faster than a 3070 Ti 38 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,800 and the 4070 Super is faster than a 3090. 39 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,560 That sounds very cool, NVIDIA. You know what sounds cooler though? 40 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:56,000 Numbers. AMD also unveiled their new 8,000 GPU lineup 41 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,960 during their CES keynote after they like NVIDIA, got all the AI out of their system. 42 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,680 The company claims to have included some pretty potent graphics in the chips. 43 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:11,600 The 8700G top chip in the lineup can allegedly reach 60 FPS playing Cyberpunk at 1080p 44 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,320 and can also reach playable frame rates in many other games. 45 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,840 At least that's according to the company's gorgeous butt information poor diagrams. 46 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,240 They're like the himbos of graphs. AMD seems to be firmly targeting budget inclined gamers 47 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,240 or anyone who wants to play something while they're saving up for a discrete GPU. 48 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,600 But AMD wouldn't know much about discretion based on how much time they've dedicated 49 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,000 to publicly tearing Intel's Meteor Lake apart. 50 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,560 When they were done throwing Intel around, they threw everyone for a loop 51 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:48,600 by announcing new Ryzen 5000 series processors, including the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. 52 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,240 These sound like three-generational chips thanks to Team Red's dumb new numbering scheme. 53 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,800 Your numbers sound very cool AMD. You know what sounds cooler though? 54 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,160 Meaningful numbers. So it's called that? We're doing a thing. 55 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,160 Every year, thousands of quick bits are abandoned on our doorstep. 56 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,320 For just the price of a cup of coffee, you can make a difference. 57 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,960 Please, give generously. Here's five. 58 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,980 Apple's Vision Pro will be available for pre-order on January 19th, starting at 5 a.m. 59 00:04:14,980 --> 00:04:19,240 to be picked up or delivered on February 2nd. It's all the excitement of a midnight release, 60 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,960 except you still have to wait another two weeks to actually get your hands on the thing. 61 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,920 Oh, I can't wait. Thus spoke Tim Cook. The error of spatial computing has arrived. 62 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,440 The optional vision correcting lens inserts range between $99 for reading lenses 63 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,240 and $149 for prescription lenses, both only available online. 64 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,080 The latter requires a valid prescription and according to a tiny footnote, 65 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,200 not all prescriptions are supported. I'm not sure exactly what that means, 66 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,240 but apparently the technology of the future is simply incompatible with certain kinds of eyeballs, 67 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,360 probably yours. Pay $3,500 to not see. 68 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:58,160 LG showed off a transparent OLED TV this morning, a device that's kind of cool, but also kind of useless, 69 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,000 which is what CS is really about. Unlike previous prototypes, 70 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,120 the company has shown the LG Signature OLED, 71 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,840 T for transparent, also pronounced OLED in French, 72 00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:12,720 is pretty much a final product that is planned to launch this year. 73 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,140 It has a space behind its 77-inch display where you can place objects in order to prompt reactions 74 00:05:18,140 --> 00:05:22,620 like, huh, that's cool, I guess. Or you can raise the contrast filter 75 00:05:22,620 --> 00:05:25,880 to eliminate transparency, making it seem like you had bought a normal TV 76 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:31,000 like a poor person, who would use that? Apple has begun paying out a $500 million settlement 77 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,180 to a class action lawsuit claiming that the company intentionally throttled 78 00:05:34,180 --> 00:05:37,980 the performance of older iPhone models. You remember in 2017 when Apple admitted 79 00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:41,100 to slowing the batteries on older phone models, which they stated was intended 80 00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:45,900 to improve the device's longevity, right? Apple agreed to the settlement back in 2020, 81 00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:49,300 but the company maintains there was no wrongdoing on their part. 82 00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:53,420 The payment to each member of the suit will be worth around $92. 83 00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:57,460 So good news, if you had an iPhone with terrible battery life eight years ago, I guess, 84 00:05:57,460 --> 00:06:00,740 I mean, with inflation. Put that in the bank and then save up. 85 00:06:00,740 --> 00:06:05,740 You can buy your mom an iPhone. Or a replacement left AirPod. BMW unveiled new updates to their cars, 86 00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:10,660 including multiple video gaming features. Yes, while you can already play games 87 00:06:10,660 --> 00:06:15,580 in the company's cars, BMW is making that experience better by adding the ability to connect Bluetooth controllers 88 00:06:15,580 --> 00:06:18,620 so you can play split screen games in your expensive German car 89 00:06:18,620 --> 00:06:23,420 with your friends and hall effect joysticks. Finally, BMW drivers will more easily be able 90 00:06:23,420 --> 00:06:26,780 to unwind after many stressful hours of not using turn signals. 91 00:06:26,780 --> 00:06:30,980 And tech company and bear grills, fortune telling cousin, Sear grills, 92 00:06:30,980 --> 00:06:34,860 unveiled an AI powered grill at CES. 93 00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:39,860 The device costs $3,500, but if you act now, you can get $1,000 off if you pre-order 94 00:06:39,860 --> 00:06:44,180 this unproven machine before January 15th. What a steal. Sounding a lot like the Vision Pro. 95 00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:47,500 Sear grills claims the grill can cook a one inch rib eye steak 96 00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:50,820 in fewer than two minutes. Their secret, AI. 97 00:06:50,820 --> 00:06:55,380 The second secret, trapping the meat in a vertical cage and blasting both sides simultaneously 98 00:06:55,380 --> 00:06:58,500 with temperatures over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It also makes pizza. 99 00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:01,580 Yum yum. And you'll be a real pizza work 100 00:07:01,580 --> 00:07:04,580 if you don't come back on Wednesday for more tech news. 101 00:07:04,580 --> 00:07:07,380 I'm kidding. You know I can't stop loving you. 102 00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,580 Is that Chris Pratt?
