0:35

0:41
AMD finally announced their new high-end flagship graphics card the Radeon 7 i
0:46
guess because it's vega 2 so it's a v and then two
0:50
eyes it's roman numerals it's the first desktop GPU built on a 7 nanometer
0:55
process with 60 compute units 16 gigabytes of high bandwidth memory and
1:00
AMD claims it's around 30 percent more powerful than the rx vega 64 in content
1:05
creation and gaming so according to dr
1:09
lisa sue that means it's on par with or better than NVIDIA's rtx 2080 especially
1:15
using vulcan the incredibly popular
1:18
graphics API that was sarcasm but i'm not the only
1:22
one sassing the card when asked about what he thinks about the Radeon 7 NVIDIA
1:26
ceo jensen huang told gizmodo it look it
1:29
looks dumb it looks lousy ah
1:33
that's dumb okay what he actually said was the launch was underwhelming and it
1:37
lacks ray tracing in dlss and that in real benchmarks the rtx 2080 will crush
1:43
it when asked to respond to jensen lisa took the high ground saying jensen
1:47
hasn't actually seen the card and that she's not going to go tit for tat with
1:51
insults i mean she is a doctor she
1:54
doesn't walk around wearing leather jackets looking for a bar fight now
1:57
Radeon 7 is going to launch in february for 6.99 the same price as the rtx 2080.
2:03
so let's hope it is actually competitive all right so with that out of the way
2:07
let's talk about the trends this year at ces the show might make you think of
2:11
laptops and phones and cameras but one of the biggest trends this year was
2:15
actually cars flying cars walking cars
2:20
self-driving cars even beyond the major players like waymo uber and tesla almost
2:24
every major tech company now has some sort of stake in autonomous driving
2:28
NVIDIA and mercedes have partnered to create a computer that defines the
2:32
future of autonomous vehicles while microsoft is helping lg work on ai for
2:37
its self-driving and infotainment systems for cars toyota talked about
2:41
their fully autonomous chauffeur technology but said they're focusing on
2:44
their semi-autonomous guardian system which will allow a car to take control
2:48
from its driver in order to avoid accidents which
2:52
strangely sounds kind of terrifying
2:56
if only because i either want to just accept that the car is driving or i'm
2:59
driving who's driving who's unforced in other car news bose
3:04
announced it's bringing active noise cancelling from headphones to cars bell
3:08
showed off the prototype for their nexus air taxi hyundai teased their work on
3:12
the cradle walking car and walmart said they'll be testing self-driving grocery
3:16
delivery in arizona those poor arizona residents when the
3:21
robot car revolution happens they'll be on the front lines the next big trend
3:24
we're talking about is digital assistance yep every product at this
3:29
freaking show and its dog now has alexa bixby or google assistant baked in and
3:34
that is only set to increase with google assistant connect the company's new
3:38
system for easily adding support to devices as simple as an e-ink display or
3:43
a single button google assistant can be found in the nude lenovo smart clock
3:47
sort of an echo spot type device dishes hopper tv receivers and even the anchor
3:53
rowev bolt a car charger
3:56
really google assistant itself also got some new features in addition to being
4:00
added to maps so now you can tell your usb car charger to check into your
4:04
flight and it will do it it doesn't care as we talked about in an
4:08
earlier episode samsung added bixby to basically every product they make but
4:12
alexa is showing up in more and more places as well lenovo announced the
4:16
smart tab an Android tablet that essentially turns into an echo show when
4:20
plugged into a speaker dock alexa also made her way into a bike
4:24
called the seebik e legend and gaming peripherals from razer and
4:29
thermaltake alexa pawn some noobs for me now i can't tell
4:34
whether this is going to usher in a bright future or a grim dystopia where
4:38
everyone's going to be asking for the weather forecast from their table lamp
4:42
but regardless it's time for quick bits brought to you by seasonic who's
4:45
sponsoring all of TechLinked ces 2019 coverage power supplies they're the
4:50
heart of every pc build so make sure yours is the most efficient and
4:53
dependable by getting a power supply from sea sonic they've been making power
4:57
supplies for 40 years trust me they know
5:00
what they're doing why take a chance on some other unit when you know full well
5:03
that a seasonic power supply is going to take good care of your components like a
5:07
loving parent bringing you a bowl of hot soup on a rainy day when you've got the
5:11
sniffles if you're looking for a power supply for your next builder upgrade
5:15
choose seasonic click the link in the description below for more info yeah
5:18
well i guess it's time for quick bits now another huge trend this year has
5:21
been robots whether they be somewhat useful models like the butler type
5:25
ubtech walker or the food delivery type like the segway lumo or robots that
5:30
aren't intended for any use at all like the love hot a confusingly cute baby pet
5:36
thing in fact the robot's maker groovex seems to intentionally show that the
5:40
lavat is clumsy and inept but it's cute
5:44
dennis loves them yeah yeah i do i know
5:48
there were some cool robots the misty two is meant more as a platform for
5:52
programming than a fully formed product and the temi can follow you around
5:56
performing digital actions from voice commands but
5:59
i mean at the end of the day it's a tablet on wheels so these bots are cool
6:03
but we're still waiting for c-3po
6:08
that sounds like an oscar-nominated film hey you like tvs and or large monitors
6:13
the size of tvs well there were lots lg
6:16
and samsung both showed off enormous 8k OLED displays while panasonic debuted
6:21
the world's first OLED 4k tv with dolby
6:25
vision HDR 10 plus and hlg for super
6:29
wide dynamic range there are huge screens everywhere at the show including
6:33
lg's giant OLED falls display that briefly made me believe i was barreling
6:38
through the void of space but giant monitors also showed up with alienware's
6:42
55-inch OLED gaming tv which Linus took a look at and the hp omen imperium
6:47
65-inch monitor speaking of gaming there were a lot of treats this year for pc
6:51
gamers NVIDIA launched the mobile versions of their rtx graphics cards
6:55
which can now be found in basically every new gaming laptop announced and we
6:59
got the debut of the world's first 240 hertz laptops in the hp omen 15 ASUS
7:04
strix scar 2 and the alienware m15 and
7:08
that last one will also have a 4k OLED version alienware also showed off their
7:12
area 51m gaming laptop which can have a number of components swapped out and
7:16
replaced including the CPU and GPU if
7:19
you want to do that razer had a particularly interesting reveal in their
7:23
hypersense system which adds haptic feedback to the keyboard mouse headset
7:27
and even your chair for a sort of haptic 3d experience also of course we got the
7:33
launch of the rtx 2060 and the Radeon 7 but we already talked about that
7:37
and last but not least 5g that ethereal
7:41
abstract concept was as much of a buzzword as ever and
7:47
not much else it seems like everyone really wants to get to 5g like now
7:52
verizon launched a very limited network in a few u.s cities that requires a hot
7:56
spot to use while at t just skipped that whole thing and just started claiming 4g
8:01
was 5g because why not what's the difference samsung had a 5g smartphone
8:06
in a case at their booth that didn't do anything
8:10
qualcomm and Intel probably had the most convincing demos using 5g to stream
8:14
video between devices but it's hard to get hyped about something that has so
8:18
much hype around it and has yet to truly
8:22
make it into the real world but hopefully it will so that's some of
8:26
the trends this year at ces guys thanks for watching but this video is over
8:31
you can keep watching but not much is going to happen i can't i can't promise
8:35
anything's going to happen what you can do is subscribe to techlink because
8:38

8:42
