it's tech news time which as you guys know means it's time to throw riley's
0:05
intro in a dumpster come on and talk about the news
0:09
5g networks every tech company and their grandma is
0:13
working on it right now to help you get faster data speeds on your phone in fact
0:19
ericsson and Intel just hit a milestone in 5g development with a bi-directional
0:24
data call in sweden but samsung nokia and spanish cell
0:29
carrier telefonica don't want to wait these three companies have worked
0:33
together on what they call 4.9 g reaching speeds of one gigabit per
0:39
second on existing lte infrastructure in
0:44
segovia spain using a galaxy s9 the
0:49
speeds were enabled by nokia air scale base stations and the lte advanced pro
0:54
tech that is already present in the s9 and the s9 plus now with all of that
0:59
said once 5g is rolled out speeds of up to 5 gigabits per second should
1:05
eventually be possible along with much lower latency so i mean i applaud 4g for
1:11
putting up the good fight but eventually we're gonna have to take it back behind
1:15
the warehouse and give it the old
1:18
you wrote it historically when chinese tech companies
1:22
copied a western design it was an unofficial knockoff but AMD has actually
1:28
been working with chinese holding company fatic
1:33
t-h-a-t-i-c to produce diana cpus
1:38
in china based on AMD's zen architecture
1:41
and specifically the epic line but since
1:45
the us government has blocked direct moves by some u.s companies to
1:49
collaborate with chinese ones including
1:53
blocking Intel from selling xeon processors in china AMD had to
1:58
duck and you know weave a little bit so fatick created two companies hmc and
2:05
haigon AMD owns 30 of higon and 51 of hmc which
2:11
owns the intellectual property for the chips and then that's all kosher since AMD
2:17
still technically has majority ownership of hmc it licenses that ip to hygon
2:23
which designs the chips and sells them back to hmc for production the chips are
2:28
then sent back to be sold under the hygon name which
2:33
dang it AMD you guys are sneaky
2:36
anyway all of this maneuvering should lift AMD's bottom line with extra
2:41
revenue from china heck they've got some to spare what heck heck no heck no
2:47
heck no microsoft surface andromeda folding phone tablet thing probably
2:53
won't be hitting shelves anytime soon after a river of leaks and rumors a
2:59
river of leaks that's right it fell apart with the rumors bit though good try uh pointed to a dual screen Windows
3:04
powered handheld device coming this year multiple sources are claiming that
3:09
andromeda is dead in the water hey good
3:13
one the parts of Windows 10 that would have enabled the smaller dual screen
3:17
experience reportedly are not ready for prime time and a recent staff shake-up
3:21
has meant that the plans have gone back to the drawing board that
3:25
hasn't stopped some loyal fans though who have started a petition on
3:29
change.org to convince microsoft to release the device whatever it is at the
3:35
time of writing the petition had over 11
3:38
600 highly optimistic signatures from
3:42
dedicated dual screen devotees so are
3:46
you guys interested in a device that may or may not um exist and probably won't
3:51
be exactly what you expected then get on down to our news sources below and sign
3:55
that for yourself it's time for extremely timely and tiny new cycles
4:01
summer brought to you by us come celebrate ourselves
4:06
in person and including you riley get on
4:10
he's gonna be there at ltx 2018 it's a
4:13
meetup and tech event coming up on july 14th that's in less than a week it's at
4:17
the richmond elevator kind of knowing it's way back there richmond olympic
4:21
oval here in beautiful british columbia and you can meet the Linus tech tips
4:24
team and participate in everything from a cable management challenge to a lan tournament to 12k actually it's 10k but
4:30
who's counting gaming and more but down below we're gonna have tickets
4:34
listed for just 35 bucks canadian so about the cost of a bubble gum in the
4:37
states and you can go buy them well at that link below on to the new sickles
4:42
microsoft may be killing the andromeda but it looks like they will be releasing
4:46
some sort of new surface device next week most likely a smaller tablet
4:51
powered by an Intel pentium processor that is if the leaks are anything to go
4:55
by oh and microsoft also posted a teaser so it's at least partially non-rumor at
5:00
this point some solid evidence has popped up that apple will release a
5:04
budget iphone 10 this fall casemaker ghost tech
5:09
revealed that it will never get early access to apple hardware ever again i'm
5:14
sorry excuse me they revealed some case designs for an iphone with an iphone 10
5:19
style notch and a single camera on the back instead of two
5:23
say what that's not an instant pre-order for me you don't know me very well
5:27
the world isn't ready for new Radeon
5:30
graphics cards a leaked product roadmap from asrock shows a number of new
5:35
versions of existing Radeon gpus that
5:38
are in the pipeline but with no new cards appearing until at least february
5:44
2019. so those rumors about polaris 30 coming
5:48
later this year probably bunk unless asrock is just getting a lesson and not
5:53
leaking road maps and AMD's just not telling them about it
5:57
probably didn't happen what is going to show up though is new whiskey lake Intel
6:02
mobile cpus to replace existing kb lake
6:05
r processors using the same 14 nanometer
6:08
plus plus process but with further optimizations to allow the chips to
6:12
turbo to up to 4.5 gigahertz i don't care how fast it is as long as it's 14
6:18
nanometer though well i don't know i think i care how fast it is i care how
6:22
fast it is you you shrink it jump in some cold water i'm tired
6:27
and jump in some more news a warframe
6:30
developer digital extremes are showing everyone else how it's done adding
6:35
multi-crew spaceship combat and hoverboards to their free-to-play game
6:40
and bringing it to the switch on top of that you see that bungie yeah that's
6:44
right take a look at destiny 2 and think about what you've done shame
6:48
and you guys take a look at this beautiful face one last time because
6:52
that's it for the news today like the video if you liked it dislike if you're
6:55
that kind of person subscribe for more tech news thrice a week
