leaks are piping hot careful don't burn your hands anyways first we got a
0:20
screenshot of a system running a threadripper 2990wx
0:25
boosting up to 4.1 gigahertz which is decent considering it's a 32 core 64
0:31
thread chip hardware database hwbot.org
0:34
was also just updated with listings for the 2990x 2970x and 2950x indicating the
0:41
launch of the chips is taking place soon and finally
0:44
canada computers appears to have inadvertently listed the 2990x for
0:49
2400 canadian dollars which is around
0:52
1850 us that
0:56
that's expensive but what were you expecting cores just don't grow on trees
1:01
i mean i mean they they do but that's a different that's an
1:04
apple core it's inside of an enough processors aren't the only thing
1:09
being leaked we're seeing news about the upcoming google pixel 3 xl 2018 iphone
1:14
and galaxy note 9 in the lead up to their launches an xda forum user posted
1:19
photos of the pixel 3 xl which has sadly joined the cult of the notch although
1:24
while it has two front-facing cameras it's only got one rear camera leaks have
1:28
also pointed to a pixel stand device which sounds like a wireless charging
1:32

initiative and it's an oven if you want to improve chip technology you got to
2:27
bake them just right big chips in the there's not that time
2:30
but chips Linus it's called the electronics resurgence initiative and
2:34
it's apparently meant to give american companies an edge in continuing
2:37
processor advancement which is slowing due to the limits imposed by moore's law
2:42
moore's law being the generalization that the number of transistors fitted on
2:45
a chip doubles every two years oh you got it i wonder how
2:50
darpa feels about AMD basically working with china to produce chinese versions
2:55
of their epic chips why can't we just be friends
