it's Tech news time a sacred tradition where we take a quiet moment to huddle
around the screens and reflect on the fact that
computers computers are crazy man and he says I can't wear this that's more like
it AMD today announced the newest Threadripper CPU family packing all the cores
a growing desktop needs to get big and strong the top-of-the-line Threadripper
Pro 7995 WX features double the core and
thread count that the last generation 5995 WX had because bigger is better and
we won't apologize for that it's in our nature we love them
huge perhaps even more exciting at least for prosumers is unlike the last
generation there is a non-pro lineup meant for high-end desktop PCS for
people that don't really need eight channels of ddr5 memory or 128 pci5
Lanes people who settle for a measly four channels and a py 48 pci5 Lanes
plus 32 Lanes of PCI 4 a 64 core thread
Ripper nonpr 7980x is a veritable steel
at $5,000 that's less than one and a half Apple headsets going back to the
pro for a second Dell actually let PC mag remotely test one of their new
towers equipped with the 7995 WX and it
managed to score over 100,000 in cinch a
56% improvement over the 5995 WX and
nearly double what Intel's Zeon W9 3495
managed to cough up and that's perhaps the problem with AMD's thread River Pro
int can't compete at all so instead AMD is competing with little known
competitor AMD and their epic CPUs time
will tell if AMD can rise to AMD's challenge my money's on
AMD speaking of new Chips another company known as AMD just announced a
flagship mobile GPU the RX 7900 M that
holds both the title of world's first chiplet design GPU for mobile platforms
and product with the most specific world's first achievement claim the 7900
m features 180 W power limit and 16 GB
of memory on a 256bit bust and can boost
Beyond 2 GHz which is a lot this card is
a big deal since we haven't heard much of anything from AMD about mobile
Graphics since they announced the RX 7600m XT and others back in January the
7900 m is debuting on the Alienware M18
laptop and AMD is sending it to battle against NVIDIA's mobile 480 unlike most
of AMD's first-party benchmarks where the company seems to stick their fingers
in the ears and Shout la la la la la
whenever raid tracing comes up they actually brought receipts this time
according to their specs AMD 7900 M has
a 2 to 6% lead over the 4080 in certain
games like Resident Evil 4 and the Dead Space remake with rate tracing enabled
having said that AMD may have used an inferior 4080 laptop which is kind of
like winning a 100 meter dash against someone you love tapped with a steel
pipe before the starting gun
and even if the 7900 m is the be all and all the only laptop that currently
features it is a $2800 alien whe laptop personally I'm trying to save up for the
Vision Pro here I'm almost a quarter of the way that's like .96 Vision Pros tsmc
had some fighting words for Intel during the company's earnings call when CEO CC
way claimed the current 3 nanometer chip is way better than Intel's planned 1.8
nmet Tech which definitely shouldn't be the case according to the number laws
but tsmc might be right here because the nanometer amounts don't actually mean
anything they used to but now manufacturers just use them to refer to
a Chip's generation rather than transistor density or chip size because
why should Engineers care about units of measurement when they're working with
small and delicate components it's a gut balls industry welcome to chip
manufacturing where Mo's law is dead and the numbers don't matter brief tangent
aside it's quite bold of tsmc to predict this seeing as Intel's 1.8 NM Tech won't
be be available until 2025 perhaps tsmc
used vast sums of money and resources to make a time machine that would explain
why the toes Foundry is currently experiencing its largest profit drop in
5 years the poor company only managed to make a mere
17.28% up swing with Co Way claiming
there are early signs of improvement in the smartphone and PC sectors I know
we're all rooting for them from the comfort of our parents' basements not

what's the deal with airplane food it's over years Google has updated its play
protect features on Android to conduct real-time scans of sideloaded apps at
the code level instead of the service level scans they were doing before
previously play protect would check the app you're trying to smuggle into your
phone like some kind of delinquent against the existing list of problematic
apps then based on that threat level Google either warns the user blocks the
installation or disables the app real-time scanning will help detect apps
that haven't been put on the noly list yet and improve the experience for users
who only Sid loaded apps for the thrill of getting These Warnings ooh I'm so
naughty they don't want me to use it but at least you can apple Google's threat
analysis group on Wednesday revealed details of a vulnerability in WinRAR
being exploited by government actors to attack their enemies and even worse
being used by cyber criminals to Target Crypt Bros trading Bitcoin horor
according to Google the exploit was used by Russian fact groups targeting Ukraine
and Chinese State hackers targeting poppy New Guinea for some reason leave
them alone or maybe this has all been a ruse and WinRAR is taking revenge on
users who never paid for it after the free trial God no one's safe even more
Google News the tech Giants mobile version of the video chat app Meet will
now give you a touchup by smoothing complexion lightening those unsightly
