riley why do you do so much tech news i never met a tech news i didn't like it
0:05
seems like the number of cores we can get on our home pcs has been rising
0:08
rapidly the past few years or should i say risin
0:14
oh i love that joke and it looks like AMD is going to be pushing the envelope
0:18
yet again turns out those leaks about the threadripper 3990x were true because
0:23
AMD has now officially announced the chip it'll arrive next year with 64
0:28
physical cores and 128 threads the chip
0:31
is also expected to have a TDP of 280 watts so you'll need quite a bit of
0:36
cooling horsepower to keep the CPU from getting too hot of course i don't think
0:39
there's going to be that huge of a home market for a chip with that many cores
0:43
and AMD itself even says they're targeting hollywood type content
0:46
creators with a new release but you can always buy the chip anyway and create
0:51
a massive dent in your bank account as it'll probably go for at least two grand
0:55
you hollywood types i mean it'll be expensive but it'll be so fulfilling
1:00
like that massive hole in my finances i did that google has responded to a major
1:04
criticism of its new stadia cloud gaming platform which has come under fire since
1:08
its recent launch for missing features and a relatively small game library
1:14
there's that too one of those complaints has been over the resolutions and frame rates gamers
1:19
are actually getting instead of the 4k60 that was promised for many titles games
1:24
are running at either 1080 or 1440p sometimes at frame rates lower than 60.
1:28
i mean destiny 2 even runs at a lower resolution than it does on console plus
1:32
graphics settings for stadia seem to be set at around medium instead of high or
1:36
ultra even though the gpus used by stadius servers are according to google
1:41
way beefier than the ones in the xbox one x and ps4 pro in their response
1:46
google's basically passed the buck onto developers saying it's up to them to
1:49
achieve the best image quality and frame rate and the devs will continue to
1:53
improve those things on stadium without the need for game patches or downloads
1:57
so games will look better later google
2:01
promises so the fact that the tesla cyber trucks Windows were shattered with
2:04
a metal ball during its launch event is the talk of the internet at the moment
2:08
huh yikes let's give it a single yike except
2:12
they broke two Windows elon musk himself has an explanation for
2:16
just went wrong with the truck's supposedly shatterproof Windows it turns
2:20
out that before the ball was thrown the truck's lead designer took a
2:23
sledgehammer to the door which we all saw to show off how tough it was and
2:27
while the door itself looked no worse for the wear the impact actually cracked
2:31
the bottom of the glass weakening it and setting tesla up for a gigantic egg on
2:36
its face moment of course the back window shattered as well even though
2:40
that door wasn't hit with a hammer but maybe tesla's designs are just too
2:43
advanced for us mere mortals to understand fully this is really strong
2:47
we should have got the other guy to throw the ball we got our strongest guy
2:51

3:40
what might become of their favorite hobby it looks like the actual higher
3:43
end of the market that includes gaming pcs is doing fine as a new report has
3:47
shown that discrete graphics cards are now in over 32 percent of pcs up over
3:52
five percent in just one quarter in all add-in board shipments are up over 42
3:57
percent i guess it helps that all those crypto miners aren't inflating demand
4:01
anymore those rascals those scallywags
4:06
john love john's vocabulary was cools although Intel has looked like it's

4:17
in a partnership with mediatek Intel will be creating 5g modems for desktops
4:21
and laptops which we should start seeing in 2021 as we hopefully move toward a
4:26
future without all those messy wires maybe stadia will be a bit better over
4:30
5g i don't know it can only help if you're a skilled bug pirate google's bug

rumor has it that it has something to do with the fact michael jackson was
5:46
involved with the music i guess he didn't have gamers in mind
5:50
when he said don't stop till you get enough
5:55
awkward and we don't want you to stop until you get enough tech news but
6:00
that's what we got to do right now so come back on wednesday and then we
6:04
won't stop then wait no one invited me to be on tackling dogs too short
