oh baby it's that time of the week again
and wednesday's tech news be looking fine AMD just released its ryzen 3000 xt
line after announcing it just a couple of short weeks ago the new desktop
processors are the ryzen 9 3900 xt ryzen 5 3800 xtn ryzen 5 3600 xt and all of
them offer minuscule clock speed improvements over the existing 3000x
series at the same price which sort of raises the question why do
they exist at all the t the t stands for turbo
ah while they're rated for the same TDP
that is their power consumption they actually occupy their highest turbo
speeds more often according to AMD representatives and we actually found in
our full review which by the way you can check out right over there that this does turn out
to be true at least some of the time as
for why you might buy a 3000 x series we're frankly not sure unless there's
some really compelling bundle deals so uh keep an eye out for those now we
can't afford great segues we've actually used up all of our allocation for the
quarter already so potential specs of the new NVIDIA GeForce rtx 3070 and
rumored rtx 3070 ti have just been
leaked but as with everything you read online get some salt ready for the
pension the potential leaks suggest that the rtx 3070 will have 2944 cuda cores
and 8 gigs of gddr6 video memory whereas
the 3070 ti will have 3072 cuda cores i
like that number but the same amount of vram but with gddr6x so a higher
performance variant now the 3070 ti may
actually end up being a 3070 super variant which would remain in line with
the rest of the rtx 2000 range except that it used to be that supers came
later not at the same time and actually i'm ending up more confused but that's
fine the solution is just to subscribe and watch every single one of our videos
so you stay up to date capisce is this the right hand gesture
samsung really needs to get a new plumber as yet another leak of the
upcoming note 20 has surfaced this time
in the form of a hands-on video just one day after samsung officially announced
that its upcoming galaxy unpacked event will be held on august 5th potentially
the biggest leak of the note 20 has splashed all over the floor the footage
from youtube channel jimmy is promo
only really shows the exterior of the device compared to the note 10 plus but
does manage to showcase what looks to be one heck of a large camera bump this
potential leak combined with the official unpacked invitation video seems
to corroborate other recent note 20 leaks
that we covered last week so note that day down folks as not only is
the next note set to be unveiled but we might also get a cheeky peek at the
successor to the galaxy fold i personally haven't received an invite because i think samsung is tired of me
criticizing them for being late to send me invites well that's a self-fulfilling

game group youtube is making changes to its mid-roll ad policy where instead of
videos only qualifying for mid-roll ads if they are over 10 minutes long
starting in late july you can now enjoy mid-roll ads in shorter 8-minute videos

our own sponsor spots into the video anyway you'll soon know why all vlogs

minutes and one second long yes tick tock days might be numbered as

states government yeah that got serious fast he actually
didn't say that last part you know i thought that tick tock was just a fun
app for fun people and my annoying neighbor
