00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.160
so it's friday and i hope your weekend plans evolve a trip to coffee lake

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:11.200
because Intel is going to be delivering an eight cup um eight core coffee-like

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:15.920
CPU for the mainstream desktop platform in september according to a report from

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:20.480
pc watch the new chip will be an i7 that won't require an enthusiast x-series

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:24.000
chipset as Intel's past octa-core parts have it's more than likely the new

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:28.320
processor is an effort to keep up with AMD's ryzen refresh and i'm sure that

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.800
those of you who have followed the CPU wars for a long time can appreciate the

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:37.520
irony of Intel trying to compete by just strapping more cords onto a chip the

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:42.719
same report indicated that Intel's 2066 enthusiast platform will also be getting

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.640
a 22 core CPU in september but hopefully

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:49.520
you won't need to jury rig an industrial water chiller to it this time

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:53.120
damn yeah that's what i said too meanwhile something that certainly won't

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:56.399
need liquid cooling is samsung's new foldable smartphone which we've just

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.800
possibly learned a few more details about to get right to it it's not going

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:04.720
to be cheap speaking to the korea times an industry analyst is expecting a

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:10.240
launch price in the neighborhood of 2 million korean won which works out to

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:14.080
about 1800 us dollars this premium will get you a device that will have a 7.3

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:17.759
inch OLED screen when fully open but reduced to 4.5 inches when it's folded

00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:21.680
up hopefully for samsung this significant shrinkage won't dissuade

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:25.680
customers from paying nearly twice as much as they did for the iphone 10 when

00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:28.960
it hits the market sometime next year but something that might be hitting

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:33.280
shelves a little sooner is NVIDIA's new touring GPU lineup with a july 30th

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:37.920
launch date haven't been rumored for the past week but today we've got some new

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:43.040
details as to what to expect according to a report from tweettown the top end

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:45.759
card will cost either 9.99 or 14.99

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:49.439
depending on how much gddr6 memory you want and another report from tom's

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:53.520
hardware indicates the new chips will be very much vr focused as not only should

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:59.920
they have the performance to drive 4k titles at over 120 frames per second but

00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:01.920
they'll use a special yet proprietary vr

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:05.360
connector that can push even higher refresh rates to a vr headset

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:12.720
unfortunately we still don't know exactly what the numbering scheme for the new lineup will be the reports

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:14.959
suggest gtx 1185 1190 or maybe something

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:18.480
else and speaking of nice it's time for quick bits brought to you by memory

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:22.640
express my new favorite electronics retailer whether you're a gamer a

00:02:20.239 --> 00:02:26.319
business owner or literally anyone else like a techlinked heckler memory express

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:30.000
is your go-to destination up here in canada for electronic products and

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:33.599
services if it uses electricity there's a good chance memory express carries it

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.680
plus with their uber price beat guarantee they'll beat any authorized

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:41.040
canadian retailers priced by 10 percent of the difference both in store and

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:45.440
online so click the link below for all the details okay so now the quick bits

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:50.000
amazon wasn't the only player in the field of just walk out shopping for very

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.160
long as a reuters report indicates that microsoft is showing their own amazon go

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:57.760
like technology to retail giants like walmart possibly as a response to

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.440
amazon's technology rolling out at whole foods but i'm mostly wondering what

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.200
effect this will have on black friday parking lot violence if you're still

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.519
running Windows xp or for some masochistic reason Windows vista you can

00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.879
forget about downloading any new steam games after the end of this year as

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:17.040
valve is planning to drop support for those operating systems on january 1st

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:20.640
possibly bad news for a few folks using xp for better compatibility with older

00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:25.440
games though i'm sure it's good news for the folks over at gog.com the merger

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.640
between a t and time warner is now complete only a couple of days after a

00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:32.720
federal judge gave the companies the green light and with net neutrality

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.799
protections recently repealed in the u.s people are already concerned about

00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:41.200
another huge isp acquiring a company that owns properties like hbo and cnn so

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.959
you might know who to blame if your gains start to lag because your neighbor's really into the sopranos and

00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:49.840
speaking of organized crime some law enforcement officials are a little

00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:54.959
miffed that apple is preparing to have iphones disable their ability to be read

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:56.560
as a data device over usb by default if

00:03:54.959 --> 00:03:59.760
the phone has been sitting around for an hour without being unlocked this will

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:03.519
make it harder for police to use snooping tools that rely on the usb

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:08.640
connection with one prosecutor down in louisiana even claiming that apple was

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.370
protecting criminal activity i'm guessing he wasn't referring to the

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:16.239
repair policies hey and finally comcast revealed today that

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:19.280
it isn't throttling the internet speeds of power users anymore

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:24.479
and essentially hasn't been for over a year citing the fact that heavy use

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:28.479
doesn't currently cause network congestion and while this is certainly

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.680
good news it's also further confirmation that data caps are of no purpose other

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.759
than to line the pockets of some suits at comcast hq and that's it for today so

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:40.639
tune back in on monday as your views help us line our own pockets so we can

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:43.840
buy neat stuff like food and housing

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.840
okay bye
