you think you've seen the tech news well you ain't seen nothing yet hiya
0:06
so enthusiastic reviews are finally out for AMD's much anticipated flagship
0:10
mainstream CPU the ryzen 9 3950x and boy
0:15
is it scrumptious it's the first 16 core
0:18
desktop CPU that's not technically part of a high-end desktop lineup and so far
0:23
reviewers are singing its praises including Linus so check out the review
0:27
if you haven't seen it basically the 3950x appears to be the new king of
0:31
price to performance even beating some of Intel's hedt parts in multi-core
0:35
performance while operating at lower power and lower temperatures than the
0:38
ryzen 9 3900x which has four fewer cores
0:42
so things are looking peachy for team red right about now and we'll have to
0:46
see whether Intel can manage a decent counter attack with their 10th gen
0:49
desktop processors what are the odds of that happening not good
0:54
microsoft announced a boatload of stuff at their xo19 event yesterday including
0:58
games and project x-cloud details we got trailers for age of empires 4 the
1:03
addition of halo reach to the master chief collection which will hit pc on
1:07
december 3rd a new rare ip called everwild a honey i shrunk the kid-style
1:12
survival game from obsidian called grounded a narrative adventure tell me
1:16
why from don't don't nod
1:20
don't nod games and crossfire x also known as kriya cs go is that like
1:25
regular cs go but with more choreographed group dancing
1:30
i guess so the company also committed to launching their x-cloud streaming
1:33
service in 2020 with support for non-xbox controllers like sony's
1:37
dualshock 4. apparently over 50 games will be
1:40
available to stream dwarfing stadius current launch lineup xbox reps also
1:45
said that they'll bring their game streaming to xbox game pass hinting that
1:48
xcloud streaming may be included in the subscription service looks like stadia
1:52
may have its work cut out for it if it hopes to win over the traditional console crown although i haven't heard
1:58
microsoft say anything about negative latency so
2:01
could be a toss-up and motorola finally took the wraps off its heavily leaked
2:05
foldable revamp of the classic razer flip phone the new razer am i saying
2:10
that right razer razar okay has a 6.2 inch flexible display and
2:16
folds down from the size of a regular phone to half that with a second display
2:20
on the front for taking selfies in folding mode the folding hinge also
2:23
appears to have addressed problems that cause the samsung galaxy fold to be
2:27
vulnerable to dust and debris and while the tech press has universally praised
2:31
the phone's physical design the device's internal specs are disappointing it runs
2:36
on a snapdragon 710 which is a mid-range CPU from 2018 and has a paltry 2 510
2:43
milliamp hour battery and the worst part it's 1500
2:47
what i don't know i mean it would make it way more satisfying to hang up on
2:52

4:00
in china it may have launched without any google apps but that didn't stop it
4:04
from selling out in seconds despite costing around 2500 us dollars
4:09

4:14

4:17
advertised features when it launches next week including 4k gameplay on pc
4:21
stream connect state share family sharing and support for existing
4:25
chromecast ultra units you'll have to use the one that comes in the box

4:35
Intel has reportedly dropped the official code name for one of its upcoming xe gpus it's called ponte
4:41
vecchio yeah yeah after an old stone bridge in italy the
4:46
GPU unfortunately isn't a gaming unit but it is intended for use in super
4:50
computers well i hope we get some news soon about the gaming parts because
4:54
they'll probably be awesome mamma mia
5:00
that's not italian crytek has released a ray tracing benchmark that is platform
5:04
agnostic meaning you can try it out with any system not just ones equipped with
5:09
NVIDIA's rtx graphic cards the minimum specs though are still pretty beefy
5:13
calling for 16 gigabytes of system realm and at least an AMD vega 56 but still
5:18
the rays they're all coming for us i can see them now
5:22
they're not real it's okay okay and apple has banned all vaping-related
5:26
apps from the iOS app store in a statement the company referenced the cdc
5:30
the american heart association and others who say that vaping is connected
5:34
to a variety of lung injuries and fatalities so while they have a good
5:38
reason it's still a dark day for iphone using members of the vape niche
5:43
niche i don't know that word okay oh niche like nation got it okay
5:49
oh anyway stay strong and don't buy vape
5:54
