aha I've tricked you into clicking my mischievously intriguing yet accurate
title and thumbnail now you must listen to the tech news
I win you're a captive audience wait
stop don't go at Intel's Innovation event yesterday the company unveiled the
first processors in their 13th gen Raptor Lake line of desktop CPUs LED
Roar led by the core I9 3900k at 589 90
bucks cheaper than they just announced ryzen 9 7950x I guess those burpees CEO
Pat gelsinger did before the show worked you know they're like push-ups biceps
yeah so the show was pretty good Intel's gaming performance graph sure made these
chips look enticing as long as you ignored the little tiny bar representing
the ryzen 7 5800 x3d which beat the 30
1390k in a few games
1390 that's my chip I'm making it and if
Intel's claims about efficiency are true a 3900k drawing just 65 watts can match
the performance of a 12 900k Under full load speaking of loads get a load of the
price and release date for Intel's Arc a770 GPU it's launching October 12th for
329 dollars which what no it's just wild
to hear the week after Jensen announced the 1600 RTX 4090 and said Moore's Law
is dead now I don't know if Pat is the type to throw shade but he said Moore's
Law is alive and well oh
oh a leather jacket may not be enough to protect Jensen from this absolute unit
I'd watch out did you see those burpees some other highlights from the show
included a Samsung sliding display prototype a detachable Optical connector
and The Accidental leak of a 34 core
chip wafer oh did you see my very cool secret project oh oopsies this morning

Giants care about making my job easier the biggest new things were a system to

specifically search for results from forums and discussion sites God bless
every random poster that asked my question online before I did we see a
lot of people putting Reddit at the end of their search techtuber Mr who's the boss put up a
video about how the batteries on three of his older Samsung phones an S6 S10
and Note 8 had all expanded while
batteries from other phones seem to be fine the video has started a discussion
about how this issue seems to uniquely affect Samsung batteries and the phones
in this video weren't even the model that temporarily got banned from Airlines due to fire risk that was the
Galaxy Note 7. their phones are swole the memes were great though let's thank
Mr who's the boss for the reminder that if your phone battery starts ballooning
you should not tie a string to it and bring it to a birthday party David
Blaine in the video for lenovo's new think
reality vrx the voiceover menacingly

a quest too but for people whose jobs have a dress code YouTubers Ludwig and
Jay schlatt were tired of dealing with music copyright so they hired an
orchestra and recorded a bunch of famous classical music pieces which are in the
public domain but which don't have recordings that aren't protected by
copyright those pieces along with original tracks inspired by some
Nintendo games are available from the lud and schlatt's musical Emporium
