1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,080
sometimes the tech news River can run pretty dry and then NVIDIA and AMD and

2
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:13,280
apple coming and blow up the dam woo come on get your wet suits on we haven't

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:20,600
dinner in that reviews went live for NVIDIA's RTX 570 yesterday and AMD's RX

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:23,119
970 and 970 XT this morning finally

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:28,560
giving GPU testers a chance to sleep Riley I didn't know you could wear a

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:31,720
suit I clean up nice the LTT team found

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:35,399
that the RX 970 and 9070 XT trade blows

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:38,360
with the RTX 570 and 570 TI respectively

9
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:42,680
in raster performance for way cheaper he says as if GPU prices are stable at all

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:46,320
right now that's what I do I narrate my life in the third person team red also

11
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:51,879
delivered big improvements in raid tracing and the new RX 9000 exclusive

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,520
FSR 4 upscaling slf frame gen technology

13
00:00:51,879 --> 00:00:58,320
although it still falls short of matching Enid's DLS S4 the biggest

14
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:05,080
complaint with AMD's new cards seems to be that AMD has pulled their own 7900

15
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:07,479
XTX trick again and made the $600 970 XT

16
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:12,680
too good of a deal compared to the $550 970 but at least AMD didn't claim their

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:17,119
base 70 tier card as equivalent to an RTX

18
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,720
4090 I mean sure in some games the RTX

19
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:25,520
5070 can use multiframe generation to put out more frames than a

20
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:29,079
490 that's not using frame gen as long

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,079
as like Indiana Jones you like artifacts

22
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:37,680
it belongs in a Museum speaking of frames Hardware on box notes that the RX

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,680
970 xt's cost per frame is much better

24
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:44,719
than the new NVIDIA options mostly because the AMD cards are an option with

25
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:50,880
all signs pointing to retailers actually having MSRP versions in stock the same

26
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:56,640
can't be said for the RTX 5070 Founders Edition which no one has found an NVIDIA

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:01,000
delayed it at the last second yesterday as for the third party cards despite the

28
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:05,159
bad reviews they sold out immediately ultimately making this an NVIDIA launch

29
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:10,160
that really could have just been an email why am I here why did you pull me

30
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:14,360
in interestingly that is the approach Apple took this week when they launched

31
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:18,680
upgraded Macs and iPads with nothing more than a press release and a couple

32
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:23,680
of tweets from CEO Tam cook or his assistant a I wanted a big event it was

33
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:30,040
Siri the new base model MacBook Air is getting an M4 chip 16 GB of RAM and a

34
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:31,400
$100 price drop starting at 1,000 USD

35
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,640
depending on your situation this could be a no-brainer upgrade the same can't

36
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:39,680
be said for the new iPad Air which seems to be literally the same device but with

37
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:45,480
an M3 chip with the same amount of cores as the M2 and support for Apple's floaty

38
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:50,159
looking magic keyboard it does look quite floaty though the base model iPad

39
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:55,120
has also been updated it's getting an a16 chip which lacks support for Apple

40
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:58,680
intelligence the killer feature I'm sure everyone's using and talking about but I

41
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:02,519
just can't hear them the beefiest upgrade Apple announced though was the

42
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:09,319
new Max studio models available with an M4 Max or the brand new M3 Ultra which

43
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:13,080
is Apple's term for when they take two Max chips and fuse them together

44
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:18,840
something they won't be doing with the M4 apparently maybe later uh because it

45
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:24,440
lacks the ultra Fusion connector oh so not later it just didn't have one I

46
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:28,319
don't it came like that US president Donald Trump called for an end to the

47
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:32,280
chips act a Biden era law that subsidized chipmakers effort to build

48
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:36,799
facilities in the US during the president's address to Congress this

49
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:40,760
week calling the chips act a horrible horrible thing worst we've ever seen

50
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,799
that last part was me just in case the ACT doesn't get repealed through Congress the Trump Administration is

51
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,200
firing nearly half of the staff that would dish out the subsidies anyway

52
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,879
because as evidenced by tsmc's recent

53
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:57,400
commitment to build hundred billion doll worth of chipm facilities in the US over

54
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:00,760
the next 20 years you just need to threaten these companies with tariffs

55
00:03:59,079 --> 00:04:06,840
not help them do the thing you want them to do however tsmc still says they won't

56
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:10,640
make their most advanced chips in the US and research by the consumer technology

57
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Association concluded that bringing All Tech manufacturing back to the US is not

58
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:20,359
feasible and cutting chips act subsidies also wouldn't help American chip maker

59
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:25,479
Intel who's not exactly swimming in profits right now Trump also said he

60
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:30,120
could still Levy tariffs on Taiwan which would make chips more expensive for us

61
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:35,440
consumers adding on the effect of a now 20% tariff on Chinese Goods meanwhile

62
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Mexico and Canada that's us announced retaliatory tariffs in response to

63
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,360
Trump's tariffs which are supposed to go in effect today although the talks are

64
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,080
still ongoing with the pause on vehicle related tariffs being proved just hours

65
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,919
ago you can't keep up with this stuff unless you watch our show you never know

66
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,560
what's going to happen when you play tariffs the fun flip-flopping game where

67
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:59,320
nobody wins and everything's expensive if you want to win check out our sponsor

Jawa the place where Gamers like you can buy and sell gaming gear PC components

69
00:05:02,039 --> 00:05:08,440
and custom rigs from experienced Builders at amazing prices which is no

70
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,560
small thing in a world where AMD and especially NVIDIA's newest gpus are

71
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:18,840
either impossible to find or offensively overpriced hey here's an idea buy a used

72
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:23,000
GPU for cheap they're are way better value per dollar than the new stuff

73
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:28,240
anyway and you can offset the cost by selling your old GPU on Jaa heck Jaa

74
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:32,240
will just buy it off you directly get an instant quote by following the steps on

their site no need to make your posts or listings it's super simple and frankly

76
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,560
it feels good go to LMG g/ cell to Jawa

77
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:44,800
and get an instant offer for your old graphics card I'm sorry for saying damn

78
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,800
in the intro that was crass and vulgar let me atone by offering these quick

79
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:53,400
bits YouTube has finally launched its rumored premium light subscription in

80
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,840
the US which will cost eight bucks for a month instead of the 14 charged for full

81
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:03,080
premium it'll remove ads from most videos but keep them on for music

82
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:07,680
content it's a subscription tier that's just a little bit premium stay tuned for

83
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:12,360
the plan that goes the other way YouTube premium Ultra it removes everything

84
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,400
including the videos stay home Google has announced its AI overview search

85
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:21,880
feature has been updated to use the Gemini 2.0 model and can now be used by

86
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:26,520
teens and non-signed in users this will be fine the tech giant is also rolling

87
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:30,520
out a new experimental AI mode for search that seems like a middle ground

88
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:34,560
between a normal Google search and just using Gemini because so many people were

89
00:06:32,919 --> 00:06:39,759
asking how do I make searching in the web more like asking someone to do it

90
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:41,680
for me who's High out of their in mind

91
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:46,440
it's more fun according to Android authority Google's also updated Android

92
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:50,479
auto with preliminary support for Gemini which usually warns users that it may

93
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:55,560
make mistakes and tells them to verify the answers which might not be easy to

94
00:06:53,360 --> 00:07:01,080
do when you're driving scientists at biotech company colossal Sciences have

95
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:04,879
genetically injured w mice with hair much thicker and longer than normal mice

96
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,479
as part of their efforts to bring woolly mammoths back into the world hold on I'm

97
00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:13,120
calling it now they're just going to stop doing that and and be like a hair

98
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:17,759
replacement therapy company that's it just give bald people woolly hair look

99
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:21,720
like a caveman they say they're not just doing this as the setup to a movie where

100
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:25,240
literally everything goes wrong there is some evidence that adding mammoths or

101
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,879
large animals back to Arctic environments could protect the

102
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:34,120
permafrost which could have KnockOn effects on the economy or something

103
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:38,879
colossal is also trying to bring back other extinct animals including the dodo

104
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:44,360
the Tasmanian tiger and who knows what else but founder Ben lamb insists quote

105
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:49,240
it wouldn't end like Jurassic Park I promise the meeran cages literally what

106
00:07:47,159 --> 00:07:53,759
could go wrong and an Australian company called cortical Labs has launched the

107
00:07:51,159 --> 00:07:58,960
cl1 a module that they call the world's first biological computer uh that's us

108
00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:04,159
because it can run computations using human neuron cells attached to Silicon

109
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:08,919
Hardware customers will be able to rent Computing time on the chips or buy a cl1

110
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:13,840
unit for themselves and trust me using a calculator app hits different when it's

111
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:18,639
powered by wet squishy stuff maintained with tubes and valves instead of just

112
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:22,599
dead circuits look I don't mean to disparage this it's genuinely cool

113
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:27,639
research as long as the chips aren't conscious and trying to escape they have

114
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:30,919
no mouth and they must scream but they can't what are they going to do like

115
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:35,919
some people will pay for this but don't you try to escape coming back here on

116
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:40,440
Friday for more Tech news cuz I won't let

117
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:44,839
you nope nope

118
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,839
uh-uh never mind come here
