wow being in Vegas is so exciting I'm gonna try and catch a show and nothing
else now day two is when CES really gets
started with press conferences from AMD NVIDIA and Intel AKA team red green and
blue RGB did they do that on purpose
we're going to start with the announcement that NVIDIA saved for the
last part of their conference the RTX 3090 TI it's real even though NVIDIA's
Jeff Fisher kept calling it The 3090 tie for some reason I think the camera crew
was too scared to correct him
Jeff didn't say much about it other than to expect more details later this month
but he talked more about the new RTX 3050 saying it will unsurprisingly
outperform the GTX 1050 and 1650 for
just 250 dollars which is the actual
price seal pay Gamers on the go will have more options for gaming laptops
equipped with the new mobile versions of the RTX 3080 TI and 3070 TI but the most
interesting thing Team Green announced today may have been its collaboration
with manufacturers on 27-inch 1440p
g-sync displays with up to 360hz refresh
rates and NVIDIA reflex that's kind of like the laundry list of all the good
stuff you want in case you were wondering man I want to see those roll
out almost as bad as the weird car AI assistant they showed off during all the
car stuff at the end of the stream we get it Jensen likes cars we don't skip
it next up AMD who announced the ryzen 7 5800 X 3D
too many letters the first processor with the companies vertically stacking
3D v-cash technology apparently allowing it to beat AMD's own ryzen 9 5900x and
Intel's core I9 12900k making it the
world's fastest gaming processor according to Lisa Sue anyways
is a doctor I will keep saying that AMD
also announced its lineup of ryzen 6000 series processors for laptops not
desktops once again AMD is skipping a generation there and will be releasing
the ryzen 7000 series on desktop later this year built on the Zen 4
architecture with support for ddr5 and PCIe 5.0 and it will also come with a
new LGA socket bye bye backwards compatibility I guess
think this is a freaking Xbox they're really good at it finally AMD announced
a budget GPU of their own the RX 6500 XT
and it's only 199 dollars that's 50
cheaper than NVIDIA's price
sorry I forgot which timeline I was in there for a second
priced normally it was great and team blue didn't let
AMD's blustering go unchallenged Intel said to watch out for a new KS series
processor probably the rumored core I9 12900ks to arrive later this year with a
5.5 gigahertz boost clock but even if that doesn't win the gaming Crown Intel
says their new 12th gen h-series mobile processors are the best for gaming and
furthermore they've got a new P series lineup for high performance thin and
light laptops too now not to disparage
Intel but what we're all really waiting for are team Blues Arc desktop gpus
which did not make an appearance today and which have been promised to release
by March those are expected to make use of Intel's deep Link Technology to
combine their performance with the CPU's integrated graphics and that'll be so
cool and very important probably for the metaverse and and the future it's going
to enable experiences give us the freaking gpus and these nfts
will be high resolution now it's time for quick bits brought to you by my
special friends at Sea Sonic they worked really hard on the prime TX 1000 watt
power supply have you ever built one of those of course you haven't because you
haven't been making power supplies for more than 40 years do you even know how
to certify a power supply with an 80 plus titanium efficiency rating or to
make it fully modular with fluid Dynamic fan bearings or even to give it a
12-year warranty that's what I thought so get over to seasonic.com or click the
links below because they already did that stuff and I love them quick bits
were made to be enjoyed quickly don't hold them in your cheeks like a chipmunk
puffing them out that's weird LG had a conference today too but they didn't
have a lot of real Innovative stuff to show off other than the actually kind of
cool brighter ex OLED Tech they showed off last week they had a fancy car
display called the vision omnipod and another one of their Chloe guide
Bots but that's the thing about CEs you know you got to show up even if you don't
really want to it's like Thanksgiving unfortunately for LG Sony and Samsung
did bring something interesting to the table with Sony being the first to show
off a 4K TV built with quantum dot OLED technology which brings together the
color saturation of LCDs with the perfect blacks of OLED Samsung is
expected to launch a QD OLED TV at their conference tonight along with a QD OLED
gaming monitor Alienware though already showed off there so once again the moral
of the story is better displays are coming and LG missed out but hey they
have really cool washers and dryers Qualcomm made some announcements today
saying they've formed another partnership with Microsoft to make
custom chips this time for new AR glasses and they're also getting serious
about processors for autonomous cars now if Qualcomm and Microsoft's sq1 and two
chips are any indication this news isn't particularly exciting but maybe they
just feel more comfortable holding each other soothing each other every time
Apple Anna his new M1 chips the pain is
less like that ASUS showed off some new
laptops but the most interesting one is definitely the flow z13 which is the
company's latest take on a Surface Pro style two in one that can hook up to an
external GPU for extra gaming chops it's like a refined version of the mothership
prototype they sent Linus and I think LTT might have a video on it soon
okay we'll see and Dell debuted some new
laptops of her own by which I mean new laptops that copied Apple's designs from
five years ago the new XPS 13 has something like a touch bar but worse
with capacitive buttons that can switch from a function row to a media controls
row and instead of putting in more ports like the micro SD card slot in its
predecessor this one has only two Thunderbolt 4 ports Dell come on come on
we're past all that try to keep up and I'm gonna try to keep up with all the
news this week jeez Louise there's a lot
you should come back tomorrow to stay up to date share in my pain
