so we've got a bunch of tech news today but if we run out try to think of
something else we can talk about because I I hate awkward silences
and then the editor will leave that in and so we will
NVIDIA releasing an offensively expensive card like the RTX 4090 TI
again again is probably inevitable and
if new leaks are anything to go by when it does arrive it might be a chunker oh
like deja vu a recently shared video indicates that the card might have a
quad slot design with four video outputs stacked on top of each other rather than
being laid out side by side so hopefully you also went for the XL variant of both
your case and your bank account you just
have to sign up for the XL one and then you have more money is when they fill it
up it looks like NVIDIA is fully enabling the ad 102 GPU that's already
inside the base RTX 4090 bringing the
Cuda core count to over 18
000 compared to the 10 752 in the RTX
3090 TI although details are sketchy right now we might see two new products
Atop The Stack the aforementioned RTX 49 DTI and a higher end model for
professionals with a whopping 48 gigabytes of RAM a vram so yeah we might
be getting another Titan to the Delight of Greek mythology enthusiasts
everywhere or probably that's also the that might be the third NVIDIA card to
be named the RTX a6000 because there's there's two other ones some people
understand that reference speaking of hot chips not the band Apple's new M2
Max and M2 Pro chips are now Atop The PassMark laptop CPU rankings in terms of
single threaded performance the M2 max sits in first place with the two Pro
Models directly behind it probably feeling jealous followed by the standard
eight core Edition he's just they're just crying it's an impressive showing
for Apple considering how many doubts people originally had about Apple
silicon but do keep in mind that since this isn't an x8664 platform it's hard
to do a Apples to Apples comparison
two competitors from AMD and Intel but seeing as MacBooks are nonetheless
direct competition don't be surprised if Intel UPS the ante and beats out the M2
lineup when it's Raptor Lake laptop processors come out in the near future
and if you've been having a hard time tracking down a PS5 console it looks
like you'll finally be able to get one without beating your head into the wall
how would that help anyone get a PS5 that's where they keep the PS5
Sony announced in an official blog post that supply has surged ahead of the
release of the psvr2 and that fans should have a much easier time finding
the console itself additionally if you're in the US UK France Germany
Netherlands Belgium or Luxembourg you can buy directly from Sony okay what
Canada isn't on there but Luxembourg is what do they have we don't anyway it's
good timing considering that the psvr 2 is due out on the 2nd of February and
will set you back 550 bucks which is 50
bucks more than the console itself and it doesn't even hook into meta's
metaverse that's actually a feature that's actually why it costs more

so this weather hey um get to the quick little Bitties oh we
have quick bits oh thank God okay Intel is prepping a major driver fix for its
arc graphics cards that should significantly boost performance there's
a bottleneck that Intel has finally identified which will be reportedly
eliminated in an upcoming driver update it's not they're not in
it thank goodness we're not sure exactly when this update will drop but it's
certainly great news not just for folks with an Intel graphics card but also in
terms of the industry getting more competition still confused about how
that bottleneck got in there though I mean somebody was like carrying a big ARM full of them at the factory it
dropped in they choked a little too hard work
word of record if you've got a Ford SUV
you might have a recall to deal with involving your backup camera apparently
these cameras are just showing a blue image instead of you know what's
actually going on behind your vehicle well at least it's a good thing you got the second camera then
the recall affects nearly a half million SUVs between model years 2020 to 2023 so
go get that fixed or I don't know maybe just stick your head out of your window
and Look Backwards for the time being like some sort of primitive Proto human
or just YOLO it boy this can stop you you're in an SUV I have faith
unsurprisingly Apple doesn't want to be left behind in the foldable device
Market which is why noted Apple analyst Ming Chi quo is predicting that a
foldable iPad will launch sometime next year and that might not seem very
apple-like but if they actually launch their mixed reality glasses this summer
and then a USBC iPhone and then they're forced to allow side loading and other
app stores on iOS next year and by the time the foldable iPad arrives it might
seem positively old-fashioned hmm now
quaint we're all cyborgs now it looks like Corsair has revealed its upcoming
PCI Express 5.0 SSD called the MP 700
given it's a premium product it looks pretty cool with an included Heat sink
and fan was that a pun but it looks like the reveal was accidental as the teaser
on YouTube was made private uh so we may not be seeing the mp700 on shelves all
that soon Corsair is claiming 10 Gigabyte per second sequential read
speeds whenever we do get our hands on it which should help to alleviate some
of the embarrassment over this little incidental oh they're just mortified
people whoops and if you're too lazy to
go out and buy your own groceries we've got some really bad news Amazon Fresh is
now slapping a delivery fee on any order below 150 bucks which is way up from the
previous threshold of 35 certified rotten
Amazon released some mealy mouth statement about how the fee helps keep
prices low by making you pay more I
don't get it but Daddy Bezos must know what he's talking about he's very
successful and finally oh and finally I
oh no there's there's no more Tech news uh what do you
think would happen if you came back on Wednesday for more Tech news okay have
you ever heard of some
