00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:08.080
sometimes the tech news River can run pretty dry and then NVIDIA and AMD and

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

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:20.600
dinner in that reviews went live for NVIDIA's RTX 570 yesterday and AMD's RX

00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:23.119
970 and 970 XT this morning finally

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:28.560
giving GPU testers a chance to sleep Riley I didn't know you could wear a

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:31.720
suit I clean up nice the LTT team found

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:35.399
that the RX 970 and 9070 XT trade blows

00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:38.360
with the RTX 570 and 570 TI respectively

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:42.680
in raster performance for way cheaper he says as if GPU prices are stable at all

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

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:51.879
delivered big improvements in raid tracing and the new RX 9000 exclusive

00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:53.520
FSR 4 upscaling slf frame gen technology

00:00:51.879 --> 00:00:58.320
although it still falls short of matching Enid's DLS S4 the biggest

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:05.080
complaint with AMD's new cards seems to be that AMD has pulled their own 7900

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:07.479
XTX trick again and made the $600 970 XT

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

00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:17.119
base 70 tier card as equivalent to an RTX

00:01:13.720 --> 00:01:19.720
4090 I mean sure in some games the RTX

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:25.520
5070 can use multiframe generation to put out more frames than a

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:29.079
490 that's not using frame gen as long

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.079
as like Indiana Jones you like artifacts

00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:37.680
it belongs in a Museum speaking of frames Hardware on box notes that the RX

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:39.680
970 xt's cost per frame is much better

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:44.719
than the new NVIDIA options mostly because the AMD cards are an option with

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:50.880
all signs pointing to retailers actually having MSRP versions in stock the same

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

00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:01.000
delayed it at the last second yesterday as for the third party cards despite the

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:05.159
bad reviews they sold out immediately ultimately making this an NVIDIA launch

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

00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:14.360
in interestingly that is the approach Apple took this week when they launched

00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:18.680
upgraded Macs and iPads with nothing more than a press release and a couple

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

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

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:31.400
$100 price drop starting at 1,000 USD

00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:35.640
depending on your situation this could be a no-brainer upgrade the same can't

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

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

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:50.159
looking magic keyboard it does look quite floaty though the base model iPad

00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:55.120
has also been updated it's getting an a16 chip which lacks support for Apple

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:58.680
intelligence the killer feature I'm sure everyone's using and talking about but I

00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:02.519
just can't hear them the beefiest upgrade Apple announced though was the

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:09.319
new Max studio models available with an M4 Max or the brand new M3 Ultra which

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:13.080
is Apple's term for when they take two Max chips and fuse them together

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:18.840
something they won't be doing with the M4 apparently maybe later uh because it

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:24.440
lacks the ultra Fusion connector oh so not later it just didn't have one I

00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:28.319
don't it came like that US president Donald Trump called for an end to the

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:32.280
chips act a Biden era law that subsidized chipmakers effort to build

00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:36.799
facilities in the US during the president's address to Congress this

00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:40.760
week calling the chips act a horrible horrible thing worst we've ever seen

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

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:51.200
firing nearly half of the staff that would dish out the subsidies anyway

00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:52.879
because as evidenced by tsmc's recent

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:57.400
commitment to build hundred billion doll worth of chipm facilities in the US over

00:03:54.799 --> 00:04:00.760
the next 20 years you just need to threaten these companies with tariffs

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

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:10.640
make their most advanced chips in the US and research by the consumer technology

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:15.920
Association concluded that bringing All Tech manufacturing back to the US is not

00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:20.359
feasible and cutting chips act subsidies also wouldn't help American chip maker

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:25.479
Intel who's not exactly swimming in profits right now Trump also said he

00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:30.120
could still Levy tariffs on Taiwan which would make chips more expensive for us

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:35.440
consumers adding on the effect of a now 20% tariff on Chinese Goods meanwhile

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:39.080
Mexico and Canada that's us announced retaliatory tariffs in response to

00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:43.360
Trump's tariffs which are supposed to go in effect today although the talks are

00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:47.080
still ongoing with the pause on vehicle related tariffs being proved just hours

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

00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:54.560
what's going to happen when you play tariffs the fun flip-flopping game where

00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:59.320
nobody wins and everything's expensive if you want to win check out our sponsor

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:04.000
Jawa the place where Gamers like you can buy and sell gaming gear PC components

00:05:02.039 --> 00:05:08.440
and custom rigs from experienced Builders at amazing prices which is no

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:13.560
small thing in a world where AMD and especially NVIDIA's newest gpus are

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:18.840
either impossible to find or offensively overpriced hey here's an idea buy a used

00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:23.000
GPU for cheap they're are way better value per dollar than the new stuff

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:28.240
anyway and you can offset the cost by selling your old GPU on Jaa heck Jaa

00:05:25.880 --> 00:05:32.240
will just buy it off you directly get an instant quote by following the steps on

00:05:30.039 --> 00:05:38.759
their site no need to make your posts or listings it's super simple and frankly

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:40.560
it feels good go to LMG g/ cell to Jawa

00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:44.800
and get an instant offer for your old graphics card I'm sorry for saying damn

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:48.800
in the intro that was crass and vulgar let me atone by offering these quick

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:53.400
bits YouTube has finally launched its rumored premium light subscription in

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

00:05:56.520 --> 00:06:03.080
premium it'll remove ads from most videos but keep them on for music

00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:07.680
content it's a subscription tier that's just a little bit premium stay tuned for

00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:12.360
the plan that goes the other way YouTube premium Ultra it removes everything

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:16.400
including the videos stay home Google has announced its AI overview search

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

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:26.520
teens and non-signed in users this will be fine the tech giant is also rolling

00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:30.520
out a new experimental AI mode for search that seems like a middle ground

00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:34.560
between a normal Google search and just using Gemini because so many people were

00:06:32.919 --> 00:06:39.759
asking how do I make searching in the web more like asking someone to do it

00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:41.680
for me who's High out of their in mind

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:46.440
it's more fun according to Android authority Google's also updated Android

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:50.479
auto with preliminary support for Gemini which usually warns users that it may

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:55.560
make mistakes and tells them to verify the answers which might not be easy to

00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:01.080
do when you're driving scientists at biotech company colossal Sciences have

00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:04.879
genetically injured w mice with hair much thicker and longer than normal mice

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

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

00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:17.759
replacement therapy company that's it just give bald people woolly hair look

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

00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:25.240
literally everything goes wrong there is some evidence that adding mammoths or

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:28.879
large animals back to Arctic environments could protect the

00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:34.120
permafrost which could have KnockOn effects on the economy or something

00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:38.879
colossal is also trying to bring back other extinct animals including the dodo

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:44.360
the Tasmanian tiger and who knows what else but founder Ben lamb insists quote

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:49.240
it wouldn't end like Jurassic Park I promise the meeran cages literally what

00:07:47.159 --> 00:07:53.759
could go wrong and an Australian company called cortical Labs has launched the

00:07:51.159 --> 00:07:58.960
cl1 a module that they call the world's first biological computer uh that's us

00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:04.159
because it can run computations using human neuron cells attached to Silicon

00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:08.919
Hardware customers will be able to rent Computing time on the chips or buy a cl1

00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:13.840
unit for themselves and trust me using a calculator app hits different when it's

00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:18.639
powered by wet squishy stuff maintained with tubes and valves instead of just

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:22.599
dead circuits look I don't mean to disparage this it's genuinely cool

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:27.639
research as long as the chips aren't conscious and trying to escape they have

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

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

00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:40.440
Friday for more Tech news cuz I won't let

00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:44.839
you nope nope

00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:44.839
uh-uh never mind come here
