hmm i'm not sure if we have enough internet for this episode can i get some more
because it's a series of tubes get it
we've been waiting to see whether AMD's third gen ryzen cpus will continue in
the tradition of greatness started by their predecessors and although we
haven't seen third party benchmarks yet it looks like the ryzen 3000 series
might be pure bangers shut your butt
i will not the five multi-threaded cpus that AMD
unveiled at computex are the six core ryzen 5 3600 and 3600 x the 8 core ryzen
7 3700 x and 3800x and the 12 core ryzen
9 3900x the first mainstream class
desktop CPU with 24 threads AMD demoed the chip in single and
multi-threaded tasks beating Intel's competing 12 core i9 9920x which costs
1200. the ryzen 9 3900x yes will retail
for 4.99
that's less than half and it comes with a cooler and it has a
much lower TDP yeah 3rd gen ryzen should be compatible
with most am4 boards with a BIOS update but it's also arriving alongside the
x570 motherboard chipset which supports PCIe 4.0
Corsair and Gigabyte showed off some m.2 ssds that are PCIe 4.0 ready but you
know what else will support it AMD's new navi GPU and no it's not called the
rx3080 i've never been happier to find out a
rumor was false what it's actually called is the rx 5700
much better it's not much better because there's already a Radeon rx 570 so this
is just like another zero anywhere yeah anyways AMD has finally
moved past the gcn architecture the rx 5700 is built on our dna
or Radeon dna and is apparently on par with the rtx
2070. we didn't get specs or price but AMD will most likely reveal those
details at e3 in june with availability in july also it doesn't have ray tracing
so the graphics front is a little less exciting but man
AMD ryzen huh how many times do you think we can make
the rising up joke before it's tired so what did Intel have to say for
themselves at computex not much the company unveiled a super clocked version
of its flagship gaming processor the core i9 9900k called the i9 9900ks
it's got a base clock of four gigahertz and can push every one of its eight
cores to a five gigahertz boost clocks which is a big deal because normally
boost clock frequencies only apply to one core and it appears that unlike
their notorious ice chiller demo these clocks can be achieved using normal
computer hardware so that's so that's cool that's nice yeah
good job guys yeah i'm trying to be excited about it it's
hard Intel also teased the performance of their 11th gen integrated graphics
which can apparently run games at 1080p slightly better than AMD's built-in vega
graphics on second gen ryzen so maybe
that means Intel's graphics cards will be good too i
i'm trying i'm trying to have things to look for yeah it's just it's just it's
just not as cool ASUS however did show
off some innovative tech it's questionably useful but but still
the zenbook pro duo is like the nintendo ds of laptops with a secondary display
below the primary one spanning the width of the keyboard Linus did a video on it
and he apparently thinks it might be useful
but i don't know maybe the humidity there is like getting to his head i
personally i don't know if he can be trusted because of this ASUS also iterated on their combination
touchpad and display feature the screen pad from last year screen pad 2.0 is
larger more intuitive to use and uses the laptop's CPU integrated graphics
instead of the GPU for better power savings the company also showed off a
pair of portable usb-c monitors one with a 240hz refresh rating
wow and one with the touchscreen yeah
but perhaps the most interesting product unveiling was the zenbook edition 30 a
white leather and gold laptop to celebrate their 30th anniversary so
that's very exciting for hardcore ASUS fans who are also
tremendously wealthy now it's time for quick bits brought to you by diss plate
displayed regular posters are fine but you roll them up wrong one time and luke
skywalker's got a weird bent face forever disc blades are magnet mounted
metal prints that are durable and look way cooler than a piece of paper anyway
displayed has over 260 000 artworks
spanning many influences and styles and feature an easy magnet mounting system
no power tools or holes in the wall required plus they plant 10 trees for
each displayed purchase they're good people
they're so good they'll let you use the discount code LTT at checkout to get 15
off so check out displate's metal posters today at the link below and if
it wasn't quick bits it would have been something else NVIDIA also showed up at
computex 2019 but if you were looking for an explanation for that cryptic
super teaser from last week you'll be disappointed really yup all
they really showed off was the new NVIDIA studio initiative designed to
help manufacturers like acer hp and razer build powerful laptops for
creators which will be equipped with quadro rtx or GeForce rtx gpus
basically was that the super thing no we're gonna hear about that at e3 okay
the company also announced an official ray tracing enabled version of quake 2
which is now available and that the feature is also coming to the upcoming
wolfenstein youngblood game and apparently we weren't all crazy and
video was scared of AMD naming the navi GPU the rx3080 so NVIDIA patented the
numbers 3080 4080 and 5080.
at least they have it now you know thinking ahead computex isn't all about
desktop okay mobile's in there too
listen to james and ARM doesn't want you to forget it because they unveiled the
cortex a77 CPU and the mali g77 GPU both
with performance boosts over their predecessors but we can't very well go
out and buy these and stick them in our phones so why the heck are we talking about it james theoretical yeah
base your chips on this man oof
the wall street journal has published an article detailing the accusations
leveled against huawei as it rose in power and significance over the past
decade it points out that the current scandal over the company's potential
status as a spy for the chinese government doesn't even address claims
that it stole technology from other companies did you forget about that
james i've been silenced by huawei a new
york times report claims that the ransomware that is currently crippling
baltimore's computer systems is based on eternal blue a piece of malware that was
created by the nsa eternal blue was leaked in 2017 and microsoft released a
patch for the malware a day later but apparently baltimore hasn't been keeping
their pcs up to date i should really show this story to my
dad he hasn't updated his phone since like 2012.
told you dad and if you want to skip the whole not updating thing and get right
to the malware you can buy this laptop running Windows xp which is infected
with six of the world's deadliest viruses including wannacry for over a
million dollars it's an art project titled the persistence of chaos and the
auction has probably concluded by now actually see you can't buy it sorry the
laptop apparently had all of its connectivity options disabled so the
malware can't spread so it's perfectly safe i'm sure
no one will find a way to make this horrible all right that's it for this
episode guys i've had enough of this but if you haven't had enough come on back
on wednesday for more tech news and hopefully more juicy drama as well ooh
what will logitech say about hp
