well it's time for the tech news time
today we're gonna do the tech news then
we'll play apple's mac pro is finally on shelves
and by on shelves i definitely don't mean physical shelves because the most
expensive configuration is over fifty thousand dollars i mean you have that
thing in an apple store it's got there's a glass windows i would never trust a
shop with that exactly it's not gonna be on the shelf for long
that top tier build has a 28 core intel xeon w 4 terabytes of storage 1.5
terabytes of ram two radeon pro vega 2
duo cards each with 32 gigs of ram and
apple's afterburner accelerator card oh
and there's also the optional case wheels which are four hundred dollars
no bidet this doesn't powder my cheeks no that's
that's extra that's the top top tier if you do happen to pick up a mac pro and
the top tier pro display xdr you better only clean that monitor using the
special cloth it comes with apple support document clearly says to never
use any other cloths to clean the nano texture glass if you lose the included
polishing cloth you can contact apple to order a replacement which is bound to
cost about 600 at least at least a new leak has
spilled some info regarding intel's upcoming comet lake s desktop cpus and
z490 motherboards onto the internet the lineup will be led by the 10 core 20
thread core i9 10 900 k
so many numbers but hyper threading is going to play a
big part here as every other processor in the lineup is also sporting the
feature except for the lowest tier celerods the power of competition from
amd it's beautiful while intel is shaped up in the multi-threading department
they certainly haven't on the process node side as intel's new mainstream
processors will still be built on the same 14 nanometer process team blue has
been stuck on since 2015.
but according to a leaked road map intel thinks they'll somehow be on a 7
nanometer process by 2021 and a 1.4
nanometer process by 2029 could happen
which sounds impressive until you realize that if that's true everyone
else will be at 0.7 nanometers
a decimal place yeah it's a very small unit of measurement
and it's the last thing that intel needs right now but another vulnerability has
been identified in intel cpus this one
allows an attacker to gain access to sensitive information protected in
virtual enclaves by intel's software guard extensions or sgx protocol it does
this by exploiting the software interface allowing users to undervolt
their processors thus the name of the attack is
underwhelming no plundervolt
security holes are bad news but the names security researchers come up with
i like the silver lining and there's another silver lighting most people are
not at risk of this attack and if you are intel will be releasing a fix
shortly so don't worry too much i mean your votes probably aren't worth
plundering anyway now it's time for alternate universe riley to do the quick

thanks me windows central apparently got their hands on insider information
concerning the specs of microsoft's upcoming project scarlet consoles
yes multiple because apparently scarlett
actually refers to both the low powered disclis lockhart console and the
high-powered anaconda console so anaconda will reportedly have 16
gigabytes of memory an nvme ssd and 12
teraflops of performance it doesn't even sound more correct
but my anaconda don't want none unless it runs crisis hun
you can do side edge i got a groan from the other room and
that's all i wanted amd released a new version of its radeon software which is
normally not that exciting but this release includes radeon boost which can
boost performance during fast moving scenes by an average of 23 percent
there's also integer scaling for sharper retro titles and amd link which is a new
option for pc to mobile game streaming if you don't want to use the ones
already made available by valve nvidia samsung
and a lot i don't like those ones i want a different one i want a red one
speaking of samsung the korean che balls
next samsung galaxy fold that's what it's called that's a word it means a big company
what are you doing over here okay now you have to show them that
you're here now i just look crazy if they can't there he is
there he what are you doing dude
oh god this company's in trouble anyways the next samsung galaxy fold could use
flexible glass for its display instead of plastic i don't even know how that's
physically possible but apparently another korean company do woo insist
has figured it out and samsung has invested 10 million dollars into it
personally i'd just like to see this used in windows imagine the reduction we
could bring about in confused and injured birds oh fewer blue screens for
sure twitter is funding the development of an open source decentralized standard
that would serve as the basis for all social media which is weird because
that's exactly what mastodon is but they can't use that one
mastodons aren't even real and the heavily anticipated vr shooter from
developer stress level zero boneworks has released on steam and has already
broken the top 100 in steam's current player count list which is impressive
not only for an indie title but also a vr game i can't wait to play it myself
always wanted to know how bones work
okay that is it i'm done with this episode if you want more tech news
you'll have to come back on friday and i'm not budging on this
don't make me say no more tech news
no
