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

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.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.080
I hate sand. The Wi-Fi Alliance announced that they have officially

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:17.640
confirmed the Wi-Fi 7 standard and they've already started to certify devices

00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:23.360
to ensure they work together. Unlike me and Selena, that was never gonna last.

00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:27.880
The new standard will have twice the channel bandwidth of Wi-Fi 5, 6 and 6e,

00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:32.280
making it better for, surprise, surprise, high bandwidth streaming.

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.440
The Alliance listed several use cases that will benefit from the improvements

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:38.800
of the new standard like hybrid work, mixed reality,

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:42.000
and real thing they wrote that totally isn't boomer-coded

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.680
electronic gaming. One of the biggest improvements introduced by Wi-Fi 7

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:48.760
is multi-link operation. Instead of connecting your device

00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:53.000
to just the 2.4 gigahertz band or just the 5 gigahertz or 6 gigahertz band,

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.040
you can essentially connect to two or all three of them simultaneously.

00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:00.120
The connection will then default to whatever band as fast as.

00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:03.960
This should also reduce latency since having three bands available at the same time

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.

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

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.440
already found in their Snapdragon 8, Gen 2, and three chips are certified.

00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:22.600
Technically, Wi-Fi 7 routers came out months ago too.

00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:27.440
They just aren't certified. Unlike Selena, that's actually how we met,

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,

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:37.840
the first 16 Gigabyte VRAM card under $500 this generation.

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.620
That's important because 16 gigabytes is the minimum memory requirement

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:47.320
for generative AI applications like stable diffusion. And that means for just $329,

00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:52.120
the MSRP of the 7600 XT, you can make an artist cry.

00:01:52.160 --> 00:01:55.360
Or at least you can once the card launches on the 24th of this month.

00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:58.720
Speaking of cards we already knew existed, but are now officially announced,

00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:03.400
NVIDIA was so excited to unveil the new 40 series super cards at CES,

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

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.200
and revealed release dates. The 4070 Super arrives January 17th for $600,

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:18.320
followed by the 4070 Ti Super on the 24th for $800.

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.

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:29.000
NVIDIA took a lot of pride in comparing the cards to the previous generation.

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.400
According to the company, when using DLSS3,

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.900
the 4080 Super is two times faster than a 3080 Ti.

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:41.000
The 4070 Ti Super is 2.5 times faster than a 3070 Ti

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.800
and the 4070 Super is faster than a 3090.

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.560
That sounds very cool, NVIDIA. You know what sounds cooler though?

00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:56.000
Numbers. AMD also unveiled their new 8,000 GPU lineup

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.960
during their CES keynote after they like NVIDIA, got all the AI out of their system.

00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.680
The company claims to have included some pretty potent graphics in the chips.

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:11.600
The 8700G top chip in the lineup can allegedly reach 60 FPS playing Cyberpunk at 1080p

00:03:11.600 --> 00:03:15.320
and can also reach playable frame rates in many other games.

00:03:15.320 --> 00:03:19.840
At least that's according to the company's gorgeous butt information poor diagrams.

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:25.240
They're like the himbos of graphs. AMD seems to be firmly targeting budget inclined gamers

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:30.240
or anyone who wants to play something while they're saving up for a discrete GPU.

00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.600
But AMD wouldn't know much about discretion based on how much time they've dedicated

00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:38.000
to publicly tearing Intel's Meteor Lake apart.

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.560
When they were done throwing Intel around, they threw everyone for a loop

00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:48.600
by announcing new Ryzen 5000 series processors, including the Ryzen 7 5700X3D.

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:53.240
These sound like three-generational chips thanks to Team Red's dumb new numbering scheme.

00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.800
Your numbers sound very cool AMD. You know what sounds cooler though?

00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.160
Meaningful numbers. So it's called that? We're doing a thing.

00:04:00.160 --> 00:04:03.160
Every year, thousands of quick bits are abandoned on our doorstep.

00:04:03.160 --> 00:04:06.320
For just the price of a cup of coffee, you can make a difference.

00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:09.960
Please, give generously. Here's five.

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.

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,

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.

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:28.920
Oh, I can't wait. Thus spoke Tim Cook. The error of spatial computing has arrived.

00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.440
The optional vision correcting lens inserts range between $99 for reading lenses

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:38.240
and $149 for prescription lenses, both only available online.

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.080
The latter requires a valid prescription and according to a tiny footnote,

00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:45.200
not all prescriptions are supported. I'm not sure exactly what that means,

00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:49.240
but apparently the technology of the future is simply incompatible with certain kinds of eyeballs,

00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.360
probably yours. Pay $3,500 to not see.

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,

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.000
which is what CS is really about. Unlike previous prototypes,

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.120
the company has shown the LG Signature OLED,

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.840
T for transparent, also pronounced OLED in French,

00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:12.720
is pretty much a final product that is planned to launch this year.

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

00:05:18.140 --> 00:05:22.620
like, huh, that's cool, I guess. Or you can raise the contrast filter

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:25.880
to eliminate transparency, making it seem like you had bought a normal TV

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

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.180
to a class action lawsuit claiming that the company intentionally throttled

00:05:34.180 --> 00:05:37.980
the performance of older iPhone models. You remember in 2017 when Apple admitted

00:05:37.980 --> 00:05:41.100
to slowing the batteries on older phone models, which they stated was intended

00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:45.900
to improve the device's longevity, right? Apple agreed to the settlement back in 2020,

00:05:45.900 --> 00:05:49.300
but the company maintains there was no wrongdoing on their part.

00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:53.420
The payment to each member of the suit will be worth around $92.

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,

00:05:57.460 --> 00:06:00.740
I mean, with inflation. Put that in the bank and then save up.

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,

00:06:05.740 --> 00:06:10.660
including multiple video gaming features. Yes, while you can already play games

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

00:06:15.580 --> 00:06:18.620
so you can play split screen games in your expensive German car

00:06:18.620 --> 00:06:23.420
with your friends and hall effect joysticks. Finally, BMW drivers will more easily be able

00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:26.780
to unwind after many stressful hours of not using turn signals.

00:06:26.780 --> 00:06:30.980
And tech company and bear grills, fortune telling cousin, Sear grills,

00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:34.860
unveiled an AI powered grill at CES.

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

00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:44.180
this unproven machine before January 15th. What a steal. Sounding a lot like the Vision Pro.

00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:47.500
Sear grills claims the grill can cook a one inch rib eye steak

00:06:47.500 --> 00:06:50.820
in fewer than two minutes. Their secret, AI.

00:06:50.820 --> 00:06:55.380
The second secret, trapping the meat in a vertical cage and blasting both sides simultaneously

00:06:55.380 --> 00:06:58.500
with temperatures over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It also makes pizza.

00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:01.580
Yum yum. And you'll be a real pizza work

00:07:01.580 --> 00:07:04.580
if you don't come back on Wednesday for more tech news.

00:07:04.580 --> 00:07:07.380
I'm kidding. You know I can't stop loving you.

00:07:08.580 --> 00:07:09.580
Is that Chris Pratt?
