i climbed the highest mountain and crossed the lowest valleys to gather this tech news i hope you like it cause
there ain't no mountain hot NVIDIA's
back in business baby during the morning's keynote at the company's GPU
technology conference ceo jensen leather jacket man announced NVIDIA was making
cpus again specifically an ARM-based x86 processor designed for data centers
called grace amazing NVIDIA says grace will deliver 10x the performance of
today's fastest servers on ai and high performance workloads a direct shot
across the bow of AMD and Intel both their ballots respectively the
cannonball just goes right over both of them whose server chip dominance is
already being challenged by other competitive armed server processors NVIDIA also announced the drive atlan a
system on a chip for vehicles oh i get it that combines a great CPU with an
ampere GPU to deliver more than 1 000
trillion upper that's on a thousand trillion operations per second or tops
which blows NVIDIA's existing drive or in chips out of the water a lot of
nautical references today NVIDIA also unveiled eight new ampere-powered
professional gpus but for the gamers out there there was a little tidbit in the
keynote there won't be any rtx 4000 series graphics cards launched this year
yay but in 2022 we're gonna get ampure next
then in 2024 and up here next next who knows the next one after that
well the current gen is always next gen so the tension is building between apple
and epic games as the two tech giants square up for their trial next month
with both companies now releasing documents outlining their attack strategies i thought trial meant like a
30-day trial nope the legal kind one strategy that apple will use is
apparently roasting epic games for not making enough money
that's usually how i get rid of my bullies too you want my lunch money your
wallet's not big enough apple published a document showing that epic is set to
lose over 300 million dollars from its investments into the epic game store in
the form of exclusive game deals and game giveaways kim sweeney tweeted team
tweet tim tweety tweeted that this strategy has actually been a fantastic
success and a fantastic investment into growing the business in a totally not
passive aggressive way if there was one more fantastic in there sure i honestly
can't wait for this trial to go down i'm going to stock up now for beer and
munchies yeah wings
like vegetarian chicken with the chicken wings have you had those and microsoft
is continuing its acquisition streak with the purchase of nuance an ai
company specialized in speech recognition well can you hear me now
microsoft maybe you'll fix teams
anyway they purchased it for 19.7 billion dollars nuance is actually
a company that was involved in developing apple's serious system which
does not bode well for this union imho but nowadays nuance is reportedly more
involved in healthcare providing conversational ai and cloud-based
clinical intelligence for healthcare providers which actually still makes me
feel a bit uncomfortable can you imagine relying on siri to talk to you about
healthcare listen i want the vaccine sure i can help you with your bad spleen
just let me talk to cortana now time quick bits brought to you by
it's not quick if you have all those words brought to you by csonic maker of
power supplies that deliver ultra efficient power to a pc in a way that's
simply indescribable unless you describe it the way i just did the seasonic prime
ultra titanium power supply is a fully modular power supply with fluid dynamic
fan bearings and hybrid fan control to mitigate noise and it comes with the psu
tester inside the box what else is in there it's got a 50 000 hour life
expectancy and a 12 year warranty so stop holding yourself back and your pc
for that matter buy today at the link below and be self-actualized quick bits
is my boyfriend quickbit says my girlfriend the state of texas has found
documents allegedly showing that a google program titled project bernicke
bernanke bernanke used exclusive data to
undercut competing ad purchasing systems giving google's own ad payment system
and edge not the microsoft kind google says it wasn't actually doing anything
wrong and it intends to challenge the accusation in court it's only the latest
development in the every tech giant versus antitrust laws saga which has
some great twists and turns i'll admit every time you think it's going to be
anti-trust ah actually it's not anti-trust it's better than birdman and
metal ARM guy which is pretty good still better tune in i don't know what
that even is apple is working on an apple tv set-top box that would include
a home pod speaker and a built-in camera yay for video calls through a connected
tv i don't even know what to call that kind of device really it sounds like a
bundle i'm actually uncomfortable with the whole idea but apple's also working
on a smart display very similar to amazon's echo show or google's nest hub
and i'm fine with that because no one buys them anyway one other thing NVIDIA
announced that gtc today was a partnership with fellow armbase
chipmaker mediatek the two companies are building a reference laptop platform
with mediatek cpus and NVIDIA's rtx gpus meaning we might see some chromebooks
with actual gaming chops at some point and you can pass in videos
gps through Linux to Windows virtual machines easily now and crypto mining on
a chromebook no those all sound kind of lame yeah speaking of NVIDIA gpus coders
have found a way to enable virtualization on GeForce graphics cards
which allows more than one user to use a GPU simultaneously and is usually only
available on professional level gpus this is how we'll beat the chip shortage
by sharing our gpus sharing is caring and france has voted to ban domestic
flights to destinations that could be reached by a two and a half hour long
train ride if passed into law the ban will actually only affect five routes
from paris to bordeaux leon nonce ren
marseille not only would this reduce carbon emissions it would give you more
time to stare at the beautiful french countryside with all its cows and slopes
do you know how many quaint villages there are over there the quaintness is off the charts
dude there's a lot of quaintness up in here acquaintability stats
and we better stop there before we go off the charts and that reminds me i
should end this episode with my favorite french movie line
subject carpool critics and glorious bastards
