WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.480 Hey, I know you've been quietly weeping because you have a job and a cat and you weren't able 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.080 to fly to Taiwan to get all your Computex news, but we've got something for you right here. 00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:16.720 Come on. It's good. AMD has finally announced their Ryzen 9000 series of CPUs will be dropping 00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:22.720 in July, as well as some other goodies during their opening keynote at Computex in Taiwan. 00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:29.120 AMD claims the new chips offer an average performance gain of 12% over last generation, 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:35.120 while also being more power efficient. So far, so AMD. According to Team Red's numbers, the 00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:42.800 flagship Ryzen 99950X apparently outperforms Intel's current Core i9-14900K flagship by an 00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:50.080 average of 11% in gaming and 21% in productivity tasks, which I don't do, I procrastinate. 00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:56.560 The 9000 series will fit into AMD's AM5 CPU socket, and it seems future chips will as well, 00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:01.440 while AMD previously stated that they will support AM5 until at least 2025. 00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:06.000 They've now upped that commitment to at least 2027, but that doesn't mean that they forgot about 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.480 UAM4 users. No, AMD has also announced they'll be launching two brand new Ryzen 5000 desktop 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:17.280 CPUs three and a half years after originally launching the 5000 series. And even if you're 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:24.400 looking to upgrade to AM5, AMD's newly announced X870 and X870e motherboard chipsets also support 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:29.760 older Ryzen 7000 and 8000 chips, providing a little upgrade path for you once AM4 stops 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:35.520 being supported. I mean, it's eight years old, it's lived a full life, but yeah, just like kids and 00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:42.000 dogs. In even more CPU news, AMD teased their Zen 5 powered Epic server processors, but didn't get 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.960 into too many details, but mentioned it would be compatible with their existing SP5 socket 00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:52.480 that their current Epic chips use, and that it will apparently decimate Intel Xeon processors. 00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:59.840 AMD also also admitted to changing its mobile CPU naming scheme again, confirming the rumored 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:06.560 Ryzen AI 300 series name. AMD claims they're starting at 300 because it's the third generation 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:11.280 of mobile chips to come with an NPU, but leaks and rumors point to them just wanting a bigger 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.760 number than Intel's core Ultra 200 series. Guys, it's not the size of your processor, 00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:20.480 it's how you use it. It's the motion of the ocean, baby. It's the squequency of the frequency. 00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:28.640 I'll keep that in. NVIDIA's rivalry with AMD is causing the company to do some very petty things. For starters, 00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:34.640 while AMD was the opening keynote for Computex, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wong organized his own keynote 00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:39.840 speech, which he gave the day before the event actually started. Computex even added Jensen's 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.960 presentation to the official event calendar to really rub it in. Adding insult to injury was 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:50.000 that NVIDIA didn't really have anything to say, at least not for your average gamer and tech 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.400 enthusiast. Jensen teased Rubin, the company's next AI chip architecture, before Blackwell has 00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:01.920 even shipped to customers. There was a lot of talk about what AI could do, some of it downright 00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:06.800 frightening. After initially debuting NVIDIA's ace technology as a way to create more interactive 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:13.520 video game NPCs, Wong now imagines digital humans as something that will revolutionize other industries 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:18.640 like making digital customer service agents, digital healthcare workers, and other replacements for 00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:25.520 human jobs. Hopefully not mine. There was some news for consumers. The company teased RTX AI PC 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.400 laptops that will eventually enable co-pilot plus features thanks to power efficient systems on a 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:36.640 chip. What that means is these laptops use AMD CPUs. NVIDIA just didn't want to say that on their own 00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:42.720 site, but they admitted as much to the verge. NVIDIA also claimed that its GPUs could technically run 00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:48.080 co-pilot plus features themselves, but it wouldn't be as efficient. Just take the L, dude. 00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:54.240 There are also some maybe positive AI developments from NVIDIA. Their geosys chatbot can give you 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:59.760 tips on the game you're playing or even optimize your graphic setting for you. Still no word on an 00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:05.440 AI that can help me find a new job after I get replaced by another AI.

Qualcomm also had a keynote at Computex where they teased bringing 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:23.760 Snapdragon X to desktop. CEO Cristiano Aman said the company's SOCs will bring co-pilot plus to 00:04:23.760 --> 00:04:30.960 all PC form factors. The news was so exciting that Mac guy Justin Long came out of computer 00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:36.080 ad retirement to riff on the Mac commercials he starred in 20 years ago. Long also spoofed his 00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:42.400 Mac ads for Intel three years ago. Sure, Qualcomm is arguably about to kill x86, the CPU architecture 00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:48.480 that put Intel on the map, but at least Intel can take solace knowing they made a mediocre ad 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:54.800 parody first. ASUS has finally revealed full specs for its ROG Ally X Windows handheld, which 00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:00.560 sports more RAM, more storage, and a bigger battery than the original Ally. It also replaced the weird 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:06.720 ROG XG mobile port with an additional USB 4 port and has an extra vent to help with thermals, 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:13.360 and while those are all cool things, what's less cool is ASUS still not confirming the cause of the 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.640 original Ally's SD card reader issue or how many units were affected by it. So you may want to 00:05:18.640 --> 00:05:24.960 remain cautious unless your favorite handheld game is called ASUS Support Line 2 Phantom Liberty. 00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:31.840 Sony will be launching a PSVR 2 to PC adapter on August 7th, likely for around 60 bucks. The 00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:38.240 PSVR 2 natively uses a single USB-C cable, but the adapter will allow it to connect to PC via a 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:44.480 DisplayPort. DisplayPort cable, not included. The adapter likewise includes USB and HDMI for 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:50.560 screen capturing and sharing. There are a few caveats. The headset won't have adaptive triggers, 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:56.560 eye tracking, or HDR on PC. On the bright side, this might actually help Sony move its giant, 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.480 embarrassing mountain of unsold headsets currently gathering dust in a warehouse somewhere. 00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:07.440 Sony's new ACE headphones, their first ever, are due to launch in two days. They're apparently 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:12.560 well designed, comfortable, and sound great. Which they'd better. That's like Sony's whole thing. 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.920 The headphones can switch seamlessly between two connected Bluetooth devices, 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:21.200 but some audio files have been disappointed to learn that they can't connect directly to Wi-Fi, 00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:26.400 despite containing a Wi-Fi chip, likely a compromise to preserve battery life. 00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:30.880 Sadly, that could have been the killer feature to distinguish them from other premium headphones, 00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:36.480 especially after the baffling own goal that was neutering the Sonos app four weeks before a major 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:42.320 product launch. And a Google employee was apparently behind several leaked Nintendo announcements. 00:06:42.320 --> 00:06:46.880 404 Media got their hands on internal Google database full of privacy and security incidents 00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:53.040 from between 2013 and 2018. One of those incidents involved a Google contractor using admin privileges 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:59.040 to download and watch an unreleased, privated Nintendo trailer on YouTube. This contractor then 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:04.800 shared a screenshot with a friend who posted it on Reddit. What a friend. In Google's investigation 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.280 of the incident, they determined the leak was non-intentional. These things happen, 00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:13.760 you see an image of Yoshi, your vision goes black, and you're longer in control of yourself. 00:07:15.760 --> 00:07:20.880 We've all been there. But you should control yourself by coming back on Wednesday for more 00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:24.080 tech news. You're compelled.
