WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.360 Yeah, I'm into tech news, telling every cool human nothing except what's slappin', 00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:07.920 that's why we're changing the name of the show to slap-linked. 00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:16.560 AMD teased the Ryzen 9800X3D today. What that means in practice is that they said the name, 00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:20.800 mentioned a launch date of November 7th, and said absolutely nothing else. 00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:26.080 Alright, but it's okay, that's what leaks are for. While AMD hasn't stated a price, 00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:32.720 the 9800X3D has already been spotted at some US retailers for around 500 bucks. 00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:38.160 On top of that, leaked Cinebench R23 results from the non-tech forums show the upcoming chip 00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:45.360 getting over 25,000 points in multicore and just over 2200 in single core. The tested CPU was 00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:51.360 overclocked, but the results are fairly close to separate Cinebench results leaked by Code Commando 00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:55.920 Big day for Cinebench. Cinebench heads rise up. 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.200 Do you think Code Commando only ever tweets without his underpants on? 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:05.360 I hope so. Code Commando also tweeted Cinebench results for the 9950X3D, 00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:10.560 leaked scores for an unannounced chip, making these numbers especially naughty. 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:19.840 According to those scores, the 9950X3D will be over 18% faster than the 7950X3D, 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:24.640 a massive shock to the five people that bought a 7950X3D. 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:32.560 But even more shocking, AMD is reportedly making even more Ryzen 5000 CPUs, Ryzen 5 5600T 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:39.280 and 5600XT. Their existence has been corroborated by leaker Momomo US on Twitter, 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:44.640 Geekbench results, and ASUS's official CPU support list for their motherboards. 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:51.680 So there are now seven different chips in the Ryzen 5600 series. I think we can stop now. 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:59.360 Intel said themselves that their upcoming flagship Core Ultra 9 285K was just okay at gaming 00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:07.680 compared to its predecessor, the Core i9-4900K, but it may be over 10% faster in Cinebench. 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.760 Cinebench's big day continues. Leaked Cinebench scores for the upcoming chip were posted by a 00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:17.840 Vietnamese leaker whose name I will not try to pronounce out of respect. 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.360 Since Aero Lake's whole identity has been efficiency, it's worth noting that the 285K 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:30.480 had to match the 4900K's 250W power draw to get those results. But there were also leaked 00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:36.400 Geekbench scores for the locked Core Ultra 285 non-K, which showed the chip achieving 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:43.200 comparable performance to the 4900K, despite the 285's maximum power draw being about 60W lower. 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:50.560 Efficiency. It's what we're into now. Get on board. Even the multi-core score was on par, 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.200 despite the 285 having eight fewer threads due to the lack of hyperthreading. 00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:58.560 See, it's not that the chips are bad, they're just holding back their full power. 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:06.400 They're like shaggy with ankle weights. Compared to the 4900 non-K, the 285 non-K beats it 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:13.280 by 12% in single-core and 13% in multi-core. That's great news for power-conscious users or 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.880 gamers who maybe want to save a bit of money by getting a non-K chip. 00:03:16.880 --> 00:03:21.440 But if that's the case, you'll have to be a bit patient. Intel is launching the unlocked 00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:29.440 K chips this week, but won't release the non-K variants until CES 2025. Just hold on. I believe in you. 00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:34.560 Valve has said they won't have yearly Steam Deck refreshes because they don't think it's fair to 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:40.320 customers. At least that's according to Deck designers Lawrence Yang and Yazan Aldehayat, 00:03:40.320 --> 00:03:46.000 who gave an interview to AussieOutletReviews.org last week. Specifically, Yang feels that it is 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.760 unfair to your customers to release new versions of a product every year that are only incrementally 00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:56.960 better, a subtle jab at smartphone manufacturers and also every other company ever. 00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:03.760 Now, Yang has previously stated in interviews that Valve won't release a Steam Deck 2 until 00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:09.520 there's a generational improvement in performance, but he's now after a more ambitious goal of getting 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:16.240 a generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life. That's something both Yang and 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:21.280 Aldehayat think we'll be waiting at least a couple of years for. And that means we'll also 00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:26.160 probably be waiting a while for a Steam Deck that finally has a variable refresh rate display. 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.440 The designers actually told reviews.org that they intended VRR for the Steam Deck OLED, 00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:36.000 but couldn't get it done on time. But you had to get that one out. 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.800 That one was a rush job. People were waiting. You don't understand. 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:47.440 Where are the quick bits? They're all around you. The world is quick bits. 00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:51.200 But if I choose one place, it would be right here. 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.760 We don't usually get too excited about phone processors, but Qualcomm's just announced 00:04:57.760 --> 00:05:03.600 new flagship, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Sounds so cool. I'm getting a little flustered just 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:10.000 thinking about it. The chip is called the 8 Elite instead of the 8 Gen 4 because it uses Orion cores 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:17.920 just like Qualcomm's X Elite and X Plus laptop CPUs. That means this guy can be up to 45% faster 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:23.760 than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 while using 27% less power. There's also this AnTuTu benchmark 00:05:23.760 --> 00:05:30.480 courtesy of OnLeaks showing the 8 Elite scoring nearly twice as high as an iPhone 16 Pro Max. 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.760 This puts the disappointing launch of the X Elite laptops into much clearer context. 00:05:35.760 --> 00:05:38.880 I mean, Michael Jordan was just pretty good at baseball too. 00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:45.200 Apple might finally fix the iPad mini's jelly scrolling issue with the upcoming iPad mini 7, 00:05:45.200 --> 00:05:49.120 according to Jason Snell of the Six Colors podcast. 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.600 Jelly scrolling may sound delightful, but it's actually a form of screen tearing where the 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:58.640 left and right half of the screen refresh out of sync, resulting in a wave effect. And everyone 00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:04.000 learned about this when the last iPad mini launched. It was great. For some reason, Apple 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.600 decided that the iPad mini screen would refresh from left to right rather than top to bottom, 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:15.200 causing it to wobble like a bowl of jelly or Santa's belly, though it feels hurtful to point that out. 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:20.560 Santa's working really hard. Sorry, Santa. He's on Atkins. 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:26.880 The internet archive is slowly coming back online after the momentous hack recently, 00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:32.400 but it has been revealed that someone still has control of the site's internal emailing tools. 00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:38.000 Users sending emails to the site report all getting the same response, clearly written by someone 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:43.040 who isn't the internet archive. The hacker has access to the site's support tickets, 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.520 including anyone who emailed asking for their information to be removed from the site. 00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:52.640 The archive was at least able to send one legitimate email last week asking users for donations, 00:06:52.640 --> 00:06:58.640 which will be happy to do as soon as there's a way to do that safely. Please figure it out. 00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:05.760 In response to widespread rumors, ByteDance has confirmed that an intern was fired in August 00:07:05.760 --> 00:07:10.240 apparently for intentionally sabotaging, or at least trying to sabotage, 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:16.800 the company's internal AI training thing. Some of the Wilder speculation online claimed that the 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:23.680 sabotage involved over 8,000 GPUs and that ByteDance had lost tens of millions of dollars 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:30.560 presumably due to the intern's interference, claims that ByteDance has called seriously exaggerated. 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:36.240 The company has notably lagged behind its rivals in terms of AI development and lost a high number 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.880 of key AI talent earlier this year, but I guess now it seems like they've found at least one 00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:45.840 employee who gets results. And Microsoft has announced that businesses can now start making 00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:51.680 their own autonomous AI agents starting next month. The company is also releasing 10 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:58.880 pre-made bots that can carry out tasks in multiple categories. There are sales bots that can prioritize 00:07:58.880 --> 00:08:04.880 sales leads and automate order intake, operations bots that can manage your supply chain and 00:08:04.880 --> 00:08:10.240 financial processes, and of course, bots for customer service. The ones everyone loves. 00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:14.560 Don't worry though, Microsoft says these aren't meant to replace jobs, 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:19.600 they're meant to free up time for more valuable tasks. Tasks like firing all the people you just 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:27.520 replaced with AI. I shouldn't laugh, I'm sorry. But we'd never replace you as long as you come 00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:34.160 back on Wednesday for more tech news. It's not a threat.
